If we lose to Iowa...

  • After Iowa State won the Big 12, a Cyclone made a wonderful offer to We Will that now increases our match. Now all gifts up to $400,000 between now and the Final 4 will be matched. Please consider giving at We Will Collective.

The Iowa game is just one game. Even if Iowa State wins, that doesn't guarantee all is going to be well. Until ISU can rebound the ball better and show some extra effort and hustle, this team will continue to struggle. And ISU really needs someone to be a vocal leader on the floor. That's why I really appreciated guys such as Jamaal Tinsley, Kantrail Horton, Will Blalock, and Curtis Stinson--they were always telling people what they did right or what they did wrong. No one on this team has done that at all.

Like it or not, McD didn't miss wide open shots, give up double-digit offensive rebounds, play defense like I do, etc., etc.

I know this team is talented but you have to remember that this is only their 9th game together and first against real quality competition. Half of this team is brand new and they will get better but now they are still learning.

It was the 7th, 8th and 9th game (or thereabout) for Northwestern, UNI and Cal too.

Part of the problem is we don't have Horton, or Tinsley, or Blaylok, or Stinson. Just one PG that could run the offense would help.
By the way, a lot of people thought Texas would crush Nebr. last night.

Pollard probably isnt going to fire Gmac. That's his guy. The best chance for Mac to get canned is if we lose to this Iowa team. Then all bets are off.

If we lose to Iowa the next Greg McDermott Fan Club meeting can be held in a telephone booth.

This is so true. I would compare Iowa to St. Louis, and winning will give Gmac a break from the fans' wrath because it's an emotional win.
But it wouldn't mean the team is any better than it was last night.

That's exactly right, especially the part about the break from the fans' wrath. Alot of people get all caught up in the whole "we gotta beat Iowa" mindset. I should hope ISU can beat Iowa at Hilton. I just want to see some improvement in the process.

McDermott should be fired immediately. He should not be allowed to speak with the players after the game. He should be escorted straight off of campus with the moving van in tow.

We will be heading into the game with a 3 game losing streak because face it, McD has done nothing in his tenure to say that we will win at Cal.

Hopefully you all agree...

If we lose to thid Iowa team I will send Pollard my remaining season tickets, shredded, in an envelope.
