"Well Adidas paid me 100 thousand a year to wear it"We don't retire jerseys but surely we could hang one of these up somewhere.
That is odd. I don't remember that and I certainly don't know the reasoning. Maybe someone here knows the scoop.Random but the convo about the 2003-04 team prompted me to look at that season's schedule/results.
Why did ISU play Iowa in January?

I admit that I had one of these shirts for a while.We don't retire jerseys but surely we could hang one of these up somewhere.
That '03-'04 team was such a shoulda been squad. That loss to a completely wiped out Baylor in Waco, a bad Nebraska team in Lincoln, and the screw job at Phog Allen kept us out of the tournament.
It makes you wonder what happens to ISU basketball if Wayne Morgan goes dancing in his first two seasons. He almost certainly doesn't get fired after '05-'06, and Greg likely ends up at K State. I don't think it would have ultimately kept Morgan around too many more years, but JP would have been likely been hiring his replacement after having already hired Chizik, and who knows who that would have been?

That 03-04 team didn't have a chance. They were behind 10-0 every night just on coaching alone. I still contend that Wayne Morgan leading a team to the NCAA tournament might be one of the biggest upsets in all of sports. Nice guy though
Only thing that I would have liked to hear about in more depth was Larry's thoughts about TJ's teams. To me, the effort, attitude and physicality that TJ has installed mirrors what Larry's teams were like in a lot of ways.
My dad and a few others used to go to most or all of Tim's and Larry's practices. They didn't interact with the players unless they came over to them before or after.
First practice Morgan said..... "All you old men GTFO of my practice" I don't want any of you old men in here" It was his prerogative for sure but could have handled it a little differently.

This was a thing?
I can't imagine people actually attending college practices today. I'm stunned Tim and Larry tolerated it.
I think that's the kind of thing that prior to the proliferation of message boards and social media, that most fans just wouldn't have any knowledge of.
Back then, what you knew about the team is basically what you could read in the Register or what Pete and Heft told you in the broadcasts.
I knew someone who got to go to a Larry practice with a local high school coach.
It is a little odd but this was also before cell phone filming.
I went to Paul's book signing a few years ago at Olde Main. Paul isn't going to let it go.
I've heard that Morgan was ultra paranoid thinking people were spying on his practices.
Has anyone ever seen him and Campbell in the same room?
Really great to hear about his love for Tinsley too. I didn't know about his pre-ISU background this much.
Yeah and there wouldn't be a bunch of viral videos of him playing some random high school game that gives fans 'insight' of what to expect.
Imo that kind of thing has made things worse for some folks coping with a loss or someone not coming out firing on all cylinders at all times from the get-go.
If you watch any of the 99-00 or 00-01 games/clips, they were far from perfect.

LE asked in the interview if we had Kansas on our uniforms do you think we would have been a 1 seed? That team wasn't ranked until February 1st so yes but it's also pretty common knowledge that the ISU administration was pushing for the 2 seed in the Midwest instead of the 1 seed in the west because they wanted Minneapolis for the first 2 rounds, I wonder if he knows that? That decision will likely go down as the biggest mistake I'm the history of ISU athletics.
