Iowa State Vs. Nebraska Game Thread

People, it is rather obvious that we don't have the horses. That is why we don't finish games strong. We have help coming. Melt down because we played like dog crap for the most part, but firing McDermott isn't the direction the discussion should be going at this point.

If Brackins stays and Gilstrap shows up and is good and we still suck, then we know what the problem is. Right now the problem is, we don't have a roster full of Big 12 starters right now. Some of our players will mature into good players for us, but not at this point.

Help is coming.

Good post, I agree too.
 
Our talent level is far below where it needs to be. We don't have the athletes to compete in the Big XII. I am still backing McDermott based on the caliber of recruits we seem to be in on. If he can close the deal on some of the bigger names we are chasing, I think he deserves more time. If he continues to recruit guys like we currently have, he absolutely has to go. Taking seven in last year's class was a horrible mistake.
 
Is it GMac's fault that the players have butter fingers tonight? Do we really have to go through the whole blame GMac game after every loss?
Since its his program its on him....yeah for sure. Stop apologizing and making excuses for him, anyway you look at it, its his responsibility.
 
1/2 way through the second half, 3 players (CB, Lucca, and Buckely) were the only ones that made a basket. Enough said.
 
Yes, yes you are melting down. Don't hide it. And NO, McDermott does NOT need to go.

I'm as frustrated as everyone else right now, but firing McDermott at this point is stupid.

I agree. I don't want McD fired now because the last thing we need is for Pollard to pick another questionable coach.

I sincerely believe GMac deserves to coach out his contract. At Iowa State, we don't fire coaches after three years into a contract..................................



...Unless the AD is Jamie Pollard and the coach is Wayne Morgan.:skeptical:
 
Yeah pollard should be fired we should've kept wayne morgan. i kno he got into trouble but if you look at the roster of mcdermotts first year and add in stinson and blalock we still would've been terrible
 
Clint, you are a cool dude, but sorry its time for you to go to valpo with CJ or something. PLEASE bring in dendy we need athletes.

Since 1980, here are how Cyclone fans have summed up past and current coaches:

Was it Johnnys fault we could never win on the road......no
Was it Tims fault he left for Chicago......no
Was it LE's fault he had a drinking problem......no
Was it Danny Mac's fault for anything......no
Was it Wayne's fault for everything.......yes
Was it Gene's fault for not being a man....no, well at least until he left
Is it GMac's fault this team looks like an average club team from the sixth floor of the freshman dorm......no

Pollard is going to be fired before McDermott. So you guys might as well accept that.

I'm not saying fire anybody, but Pollard will be gone before Gmac. The guy f'ed up a football and (possibly if the time comes) a basketball hire. An AD doesn't get many mulligans for these types of hires.
 
Hey Lucca - if you're coming over for help defense on Miller, then stop his path to the basket; don't just watch him go by...
 
i dont think we should fire mcdermott, bcuz just like football nobody really wants to come here, with craig possibly leaving this is not the year for Gmac to leave.

Great logic. So lets keep the guy who has run our program in the ground--causing "nobody" to want to come here???

You'll find this to make perfect sense: love is blind--God is love--Ray Charles is God. :biglaugh:
