Fred on with our pal Doug Gottlieb at 4:20 CT.

[ISUCubswin]

He said exactly what I thought he'd say. He wants to be in Ames right now since he has young kids and both his and his wife's parents are there. But later down the road they will revisit that. Never said he was for sure going or for sure staying. Quick freaking out people.

NO!! FREAK OUT!

I'm just getting really antsy for the first CF meltdown of 2014. Really, whens the last time we had a meltdown? It's all just getting pent up and we're going to blow this site up when this mens team loses to Kansas because the refs called a charge on us.

Are you kidding? There is a thread on here about some writer saying Niang looks like an out-of-shape gym teacher. Of course, he also called him an All-Big 12 caliber player, and one of the best offensive players in the conference, but that still did not stop most thread posters from getting their panties in a bunch and having a mini meltdown.

There are other threads that qualify too.

I'm talking full blown, we just lost to UNI in football meltdown

 

[swarthmoreCY]

I would not read into that. AT ALL.

Come on bos, you should know Redline would argue Hoiberg is gone, without proof, just for the good of the program.

 

[cyhawkdmb]

I think the family thing is huge for him. 4 young kids with pretty much all fam in town is a huge help. Especially when he travels a ton with the team.

By no means am I trying to invoke melt down mode. But.. ISU just pulled a guy that was in his perfect family situation with Mangino. Now granted Youngstown state is no ISU.

 

[Wesley]

Well, if there isn't going to be a meltdown here, I'm gonna leave and prepare for my Hawkeye Nation trolling for their meltdown when Northwestern comes back from down 15 and beats them tonight.

More Fran bashing, eh? You go, sparky.:sad:

Yeah, and he was also TE coach, not head coach. The comparison is terrible.

 

[Haverhill]

Based on how that answer was transcribed about the NBA, I actually feel better than I have in the past. He'll most-likely have a nice run here and when things get stagnant or repetitive, he will accept a new challenge.

 

[ISUCubswin]

For the record, I don't think I've Fran bashed on this site. Not this year, at least. Except for maybe liking Fran-con.

So I'm due.

 

[mctallerton]

we do need a melt down, hmm lets all meet back here at 3pm tomorrow and whatever the first story is on yahoo we can meltdown on that. get it out of our systems and have clear sailing for the next few months.

I'd enjoy the schadenfreude, but I don't think there's a chance in hell it happens.

:SLEEP:Come on man, I just live in reality.

Apples vs Oranges

 

[Rhoadhoused]

When the fifth graders can drive themselves?

Sounds like he has another six years at least.

The pros can pay $5M or more a year versus our $2M.

They won't guarantee you $20 million though. And he will certainly get a raise after this year.

 

[swarthmoreCY]

:SLEEP:Come on man, I just live in reality.

Sure you do, and you have to come to a message board to post about it.

Reality is that no one knows, and until we do, it does no good for ISU MBB to proliferate such pure speculation. Opposing coaches and fans do a good enough job at that.

does that happen after winning 3 or 4 NCs?

 

[wamfam]

Hate to say it, certainty did not say no to the NBA there........

Would you rather he be like some other college coaches who flat out LIED and said they would never leave (i.e. Roy Williams from Kansas, Nick Saban from several schools, etc.)?

I must have missed the actual anger/upset in that thread. There was a lot of sarcasm flying about that.

ALL coaches lie. All of them.

Hoiberg's leaving :cry:
