Audi Crooks to Transfer

No you haven’t…not and still win games. And I’m glad you brought it up. It has been readily apparent, defense defense defense and then defense is Paramont in high-level sports… I would never trade a defensive minded coach for an offensive minded one that didn’t play defense because then you have Bill Fennely and Fran McCaffrey. Or hell, Mike Leach and all his acolytes.

You can't possibly know what Pee Wee teams I have seen.

No one is telling you to trade anything but if Iowa had even a serviceable offense most years they would be a playoff team. Instead "defense, defense, defense" gets you some trips to Tampa.

What do you think her roll will be on a WNBA team in May 2027? It's not going to be the centerpiece.

Her goal for her next college team should be: the missing piece on a top 15 program and prove/enhance her WNBA draft position.
Her role with an WNBA team? I highly question if she will have one.
 
On the flipside. I don't see where she makes as much money has she has at Iowa State. No big time program is going to spend a bunch of money on her game. No fans will treat her like Iowa State fans have. She made good NIL money here because our fans bought into her. I could be wrong. However, I think she will make less money wherever she goes. Maybe she will have a better shot at making a better run in the tourney though

No
 
Huh…. an Iowa State fan tells me he hopes KF sticks around and I pointed out sure you hope that you’ve won three games in 10+ years by a total of seven points.

You clearly missed what I was saying…. An Iowa State fan hoping Iowas football coach who still is winning a **** ton of games and moving people on to the highest level, telling the forum he hopes Iowas coach sticks around is pretty comical… We’ll see what he says in the fall
Well, your grammar/punctuation blows then, because that is not how your post reads.
 
She’s not going to Iowa….. and I suppose she probably would lose her “legacy” to Iowa State fans, but not her legacy in the state of Iowa or to sports fans in general. She’s transfigured above just a ISU legacy. She’s national…

I would expect her to end up somewhere like Minnesota, Oklahoma, MSU, if she doesn’t mind going to the coast, UCLA or possibly Maryland. I don’t think she fits what Illinois is trying to do. Maybe Vanderbilt?!
Crooks may very well end up one of these schools, but which one can afford to shell out $750K (just assuming that’s the ballpark) NIL to one player?

Lots of trips to Tampa…. and nobody needs to see anything that relates to “Pee-wee” offenses…..

I’ve seen a lot of of them & they definitely aren’t compatible to winning big-time football games in the Midwest. I’ve been an Iowa fan since I was 10 or 11 even after I started school at Iowa State… And I’m pretty happy to be an Iowa fan, we could’ve, we should’ve won more football games probably but I watch enough football to hear Iowa referenced quite a bit in games that don’t include them, so they certainly are on people’s minds. What more could you ask for?

Its usually followed by laughter and jokes about punting.

Pete Nakos of On3 (whoever that is) is claiming that Crooks is asking “well north of a half-million” in NIL for next year.
What do you imagine she made last year at ISU, including Fareway NiL and the like?
 
No what? I mean are you a caveman? Explain your No

Yes, I am in fact a caveman… She also would not leave Iowa State for less money. That would be ridiculous. Generally what I find when dealing with emotional fans on any board is, they say things that they “hope are true“ but even as limited as she is in some capacities, as has been mentioned. She still is an all-American and will be an asset to the right team.

And I also contend that there are probably more “right teams” than we have all gathered. Some team and Coach will pay her a lot of money to stay under the basket.

So over a span of 10 years you can pick out three games that he’s lost by a total of seven points? You honestly should be able to pick out three games you lost by a total of three points in that time.
The funniest thing he said was “the normal Iowa fan.” All fan bases have over the top idiots. Not all are texting other teams players and threatening their mothers. Not all win 8 cupcake games a year and think they’re sniffing a Natty. They’re insufferable.

Yep, fine with that too… They talk about punters changing the field in the NFL all the time… You’re gonna have to pick another Iowa fan if you are hoping to get me fired up…

I like Iowa football. And although I’m on record that I’m OK with KF retiring it will be a sad day unless they hire someone within the program that continues to put a defense on the field like that… I enjoy running into football fans out here in Chicago-land that waxing poetic about Iowas defense… So no I’m not embarrassed

We do then proceed to laugh about the offense… And yet they still win a **** ton of football games so no Iowa is not the laughing stock of college football that Iowa State fans desperately wish they were

The egos of Iowa fans. Insufferable.
 
At least we haven't reached the point where basketball players got to vote not to play in the tournament. The FB team quit before the whole season was over.
Bowl games are meaningless exhibitions. March Madness… not so much.

Very dumb post.
