Pretty much.
Don't forget, we fill seats so that means we deserve more than other fans as well.
Do we just root for 10th place finishes then or how does being a good fan work?
Just a heads up that donations and the world of NIL are pretty different.
Yeesh, it took Johnny Orr 4 years to get over .500 and he has a bar/club named after him in Hilton.
I don’t think that’s what he meant. But it’s always good to remember in order to keep perspective.
No. But the idea that we now have to pay more for season tickets and therefore we can be impatient rings a bit hollow.
Yeah. Because those people that don’t donate to the university are going to shell out 10K for a top ranked recruit..
I disagreed because I think this and other recent threads are an indication of not only frustration and disappointment, but a belief that it can be better. Even this idiotic thread is 27 pages! Last year not just enthusiasm, but hope, even interest, were non-existent.
Yes, and the newness and unexpected fast start has worn off. But there was a reason and not just coaching strategy that we were 2-22 last season. Long ways away from a desirable, complete roster. I think we need to also keep reminding ourselves how many teams took advantage of the transfer portal. Its not like TJ just had the pick of who he wanted coming off that lowly record, even with dangling playing time.

Who is ISU true comp in Big 12 MBB and just who do we think we are?
This thought has been developing for some time for me. I've come to the conclusion that fan expectations and historical perception of Iowa State men's basketball are skewed. Not throwing stones. I myself am guilty and if you'd had asked me I would've said we're the 3rd or 4th most 'storied' or...

I've thought about re-upping this, precisely for this. I get that we're passionate and have somewhat over-shown-up for the product on the field/court, but it is what it is.
If we lose our, "ride or die, no matter the results", I think we're deluded about what we have to offer.
It's often stated that 5% of the people make 95% of the noise. I don't even need to read the other 99% of this thread.
I'm not reading all 27 pages of this thread; just dropped into say this is stupid

Were donations higher when Fred and Steve were doing well?
Fortunately TJ has already acknowledged this. Next years non con is going to look different compared to this year. I'm not saying it will be stacked but it will be much more reginal and not filled with a bunch of bottom of the barrel SWAC teams.
