That surprises me. I always thought this was a message board phenomenon.
I will say this, I was in a tiny town a few weeks ago, wearing an isu shirt, and was approached by an iowa fan who asked if I went to that " lame Iowa state college ".
I said I did, and he said the only problem he had with isu was that he meet johnny orr one time and thought he was rude.
That surprises me. I've never really heard anyone, including Iowa fans, speak badly of Johnny

I can count three people, in person and serious, that spewed the ThugU montra. I stopped talking ISU BB with UofI fans in the IC/E. IA area..... It helps to keep my hope in humanity restored.
I liked this quote: "Not that I condone a player getting in a fight. But he got into a fight. It takes two people to fight. Because he won the fight, he was the bad guy."
Whatever you say, Fran. Your team isn't full of thugs, just like it wasn't a play-in game. Stay classy, pal.
If Fran would defend his player's actions on the court as much as he defends their issues in court he would be a much more liked coach.
i feel like more cyclone fanatics should like mccabe - both can't stand hawkeye fans.
i'm with fran on this one. mccabe took more ^%$% from his own fans than any kid deserves - if mccabe decided he'd had enough one night and decked an idiot in a bar, so be it.

Quite confident we don't ever have to worry about Fred saying such a stupid thing.

Not true. There are plenty of fights that don't involve two people:
Man vs. chair.
Man vs. water bottle.

Man vs. notebook.
Man vs. Hemorrhoids.
Fran is a pretty smart guy, and he is not a bad coach. His demeanor, recruiting, and decision making down the stretches of games has prevented him from being considered elite.
He has actually hurt his team over and over with his rage. i don't think it is an act, I think he is genuinely angry. The fact that he passes on responsibility for his actions should be a red flag too.
As far as recruiting, there is no way that he ever thought it would be as tough as it has been at Iowa. Unless you are Cal, you are never going to get everyone you want, but they have been reduced to 7-8 choices in recruits where a mediocre iowa is the kid's best offer.
As far as his coaching goes, just how many times can you lose games the same way?

That would be "Thug Life". He sells term life insurance so you can live your thug style of life and have peace of mind for your loved ones.
