You must have been the Dbag Bunny fan that sat behind us in Hilton.
I hope you enjoyed getting murdered by the worst D1 football team.
This is a great post. My questions are off topic, but I want to make sure my memory hasn't failed me. 2 questions.........
1. Keep in mind this was a fairly "smooth" coaching transition and Tim kept his hands in quite a bit player and recruiting wise to ease the transition
Didn't we lose Kirk Hinrich and Nick Collison as a result of the Floyd departure? That didn't ease the transition too much.
2.Eustachy comes in and has a 15-15 year and follows it with years of 32-5 and 25-6. Largely in part to Floyd's boys.
Wasn't there couple of kids by the names of Nurse, Tinsley and Horton somewhat important to that great 2 year run? That means year three, LE was responsible for 60% of the Starting line up and many believe he is the reason for Fizers acent.
Maybe this is where I can tie this post back to the meaning of the thread. In year two LE had already brought in a great backcourt. We are in year 3 of the McD era and there isn't one player that can hold the jock of Tinsley, Nurse or Horton.

I think you may have misunderstood me, I want McD gone as much as the next guy and I have given up hope for ISU bball until then. What I am trying to say is that calling for Pollards head as a result of this is unfair. The other guys we talked to all flopped, and Pollard could not have predicted the fallout of the last few years. I think he is doing a great job as an AD drumming up support and money, and he has been unfortunate to have his hires not pan out. Basically, it is my opinion that his job is to assess the pool of potential coaches, put what he feels to be the best fit in the coaches seat, and remove that coach from the seat if it does not work out. I feel he did the first 2 steps of this process, and he needs to act on step three sooner than later.

OK ladies and gentlemen, I am not typically a Cyclone fan that snaps a guitar string about supporting the C-nation. I am always saying "give them some time", "Look at the great recruits", "Be patient". But after the SDSU game last night I snapped. What an abysmal performance! How does a brand new D1 program come into Hilton Coliseum and beat a Big XII program that has been playing D1 basketball for decades? There is no excuse for this! This was the SOUTH DAKOTA STATE UNIVERSITY JACK RABBITS. HELL OUR FOOTBALL TEAM BEAT THEM BY 27 POINTS!! I am sick and tired of hearing about rebuilding. We have three returning starters from last year plus Thompson, Haluska, Boozer, Lucca the shooting machine and others.... Folks, Hilton magic was escorted out the door with Larry E. and Mr. McD better find another way because there has been zero improvement in this program. Better athletes? Probably. Better play? Definitely not. How are we going to compete with Longhorns, Sooners, Tigers, Jayhawks, Buffaloes and Cornhuskers when we can even beat a crummy Jack Rabbit? A Jack Rabbit should be road kill for a real D1 team! OK, meltdown complete. Thanks
Looking at SDSU they have some quality wins and tough losses.
Minnesota beat them, Tubby's got his boys in the top 25
They got beat by UNI, who we beat
Drake beat them, Hey they are the best team in Iowa
They beat Mayville State by 31 (92-61)
A big win at Central Arkansas (72-67)
And the won a knuckle biter against Upper Iowa at home by 4
We suck!
hahahahahaha:biglaugh:
might be the problem right there. spending all of their time on CF when they should be in the weight room!
What has happened to our football and basketball teams lately? Is it Pollard making horrible coaching choices? Seems to me that we got a fairly average football coach for a mountain of money. How is it that GMAC can do better at a 1aa school in the same State. Something just doesn't add up!
Because the Big 12 is a real conference. I know thats not an excuse for losing to SDSU, but thats the best excuse I could come up for him doing better at UNI. BTW UNI is a D1 school in basketball, football they are a 1aa school.
It felt good granted we had ten guys injured. How does it feel getting stomped by a new D1 basketball team? A D1 team that will follow its women right to the Top 25.
Coaching in a system is harder than letting the players play 'and1' style ball.
These assistants have a job, how are Wayne's assistant/ grad coaches doing? I am guessing some are working in Des Moines out of the coaching profession.:wideeyed:
I think Mac is a good coach, we just need players that are of the Big XII mold. Hopefully the two additions next year will provide the athleticism we are clearly missing.
