Negativity is embarrassing

(has there been a positive thread in the past two weeks on the basketball forum?)

You shoot me a positive development in Men's Basketball the past two weeks and I'll roll with it

You're right - there haven't been any.

So all things being equal - I should expect to see as many positive threads if/when/should we beat Iowa on Friday.

Cursory count puts that at around 120 and in excess of 2500 posts. Cause I can dang sure count on seeing that if we lose.

That's what you're saying? Cause it IS what I'm saying. People only come out in droves when the news is bad. Heck - I would've thought the bowl would've tempered all this ill will to the bball team ... just a bit.

Doesn't seem to have. We're 4 days removed from losing on the road to a top 25 team. And still... here we are.

Heck - I think there's a handful of people on this board and IN THIS THREAD that WANT us to lose, solely so they can come in here and scream to the heavens. And I wish I were kidding on that.... :no:

When we see and understand Basketball is a business not a extra curriculum we will understand that McD is not fit to coach this program. After 3 years of supporting him and knowing that year 4 his players will be here, this is a epic failure. I cant support an Athletic Department that cant move ahead. McD did great at UNI and maybe its the talent level at UNI that made him look good, with the lack of talent in the MVC. YES there is talent there. Maybe its the fact that one player on UNI helped him look good, Sorry cant think of the player at this time it started with a "B". Lots of issues opened up this can of worms. I saw not motivation, dedication, or agressiveness in teh players. The coach should make them excited to play for the full game, not for the first 5 minutes. Standin around like you have no knowledge of what to do is a coaching issue not a players issue. I hope McD turns this around before the Big12 games start. If not I believe we need a change of coaching. I am not pleased with the production of the MBB and I cant see paying higher ticket prices when we cant even get to a NIT. As for right now...I am embarresed and displeased with the coaching staff.

IF someone can tell me what has happened right in the past 4 years...Please let me know. I cant see nothing but a stagnant and dissapointing coaching staff.

Fair enough...I can see and understand that. Thank you for the non "McDud" post. Really my only point in this entire thread it's to have people talk, not just hate or paint pretty pictures. I'm just as frustrated as everyone else at the lack of consistency and progression in the program but I'm not willing to go off the cliff yet when the majority of the season has yet to be played. Seriously, this is a thought out and constructive post, not a "hater" or "blind follower" post. This is the kind of post people can get behind or debate. But when they are one sentence jabs, then it's just childish IMO and makes the site boring and not fun to be a part of.
