(Source: cyclones.com archives, w/ my update tonight)

ISU lost to to Kansas in 1990 96-63 Kansas also pummeled ISU 127-82 in 1989 I believe.

Johnny Orr teams did not like the road. Came back and beat Kansas at home in 1989

McDermott was four years of this.

And I’m still not laughing at any of it.

It was never this bad under McDermott.

 

[Tornado man]

Doesn't get much worse than tonight's performance. You'd think a team with no conference wins would play with just a little sense of urgency. Body language was so bad.

Amen. It's not just Prohm - some of these guys have no heart.

 

[CycloneErik]

That sucks more than most of Prohm's records.

 

[NWICY]

33 point loss. Oops. Time to get them this wkend.

Run ittttttt backkkkkkk

 

[Go2Guy]

Gawd; that is pathetic since this is one of the worst KU teams in what, 20-years?

 

[cyclones500]

I updated my initial post. Thanks for info.

Typically I've found cyclones.com reliable for the records updates. That must have slipped thru cracks at some point.

Pollard....calling pollard. Right now..after the loss in the big 12....

 

[CyBobby]

might take some time....this is way worse than when Fred came, he still had ejim and Scotty and deonte...this...I mean, this might take a few years

normally basketball can be done fast, but this...this is the worst team in the country

It took John Orr more than several years to turn it around at ISU...I feel sorry for whoever the next coach is, because he is inheirting a MESS

 

[Lewey24]

Can Jamie send us another letter like the one after the FAMU game? Let us know that everything is fine and going 0-10 in conference isn’t anything to worry about?

My thoughts on the game:

Thanks - I thought for sure there was some kind of 120-something to 80s/90s in the Orr era.

cyclones.com listing I referenced earlier must be worst home conference losses. It's mislabeled and there's no home/away that I can find. I'm deleting my first post. I info-botched.

Might not have gone this deep, yeah.

But it sure lasted a long time.

 

[Cychl82]

Pretty bad, Prohm should consider doing the right thing and stop stealing from the university

 

[Dandy]

Prohm has some work to do.

Yeah, updating his resume.

 

[quasistellar]

Sweet Jesus what a **** show.

Unlucky my ass. Prohm just sucks at his job. Being a good person and being terrible at a job aren’t mutually exclusive, and he isn’t being paid to be a guidance counselor.

I honestly didn't watch much of the McD era but iirc it wasn't completely dire, basically just disjointed and not very good.

I only remember that 89 game because of the crazy swing in margin from road to home.
Lost by 45 on the road, and win by like 8 at home. I think you would be hard pressed to find such a swing between games in a single season especially for high majors.

ISU lost like 4 years in a row at KU by 30 plus points during late 80's early 90's.

Who wins a conference game first? Prohm or Hoiberg?
