You don't have to be "Take sports way too seriously" guy to post here.
On supporting The Mayor's decision and Iowa State basketball

No but you shouldn't be 'tell everyone else they take sports too seriously' guy if you are going to post.
He can certainly take other jobs and pursue other opportunities, but a neighboring rival school? That doesn't seem like something a loyal son forever true would ever do. If he were just another coach then fine, but with his history he isn't just another former coach.
You all know if this goes down he's going to get kNebraska's first tourney win over Iowa State right?
Ha, when did you decide to get serious. I thought you were 'I'm just here to make snarky comments' guy.
Just in case anyone was confused it is in fact not 2009 anymore so we don't play Nebraska.
I really don't care where he's at this point but ideally I wished he would have stayed in the NBA. I think the most irritating thing will be every game he wins, every recruit he gets, will be headlines here. I don't like the Big 10 for obvious reasons and that includes Nebraska. I'm behind CSP a 110%.
Because Fred Hoiberg is a Cyclone Legend no matter where he coaches. He was a great Cyclone player, NBA player and coach who took ISU basketball to unprecedented levels. I won't apologize for being a loyal Cyclone fan since 1982.
IMO that is the sign of a REAL Cyclone fan. Not a bandwagon one. Signed founding fan of HILTON MAGIC.

Well he has always been an idiot.
That's all cool, glad to hear it. Of course that's not at all what you said in the original post. I do like though how you've gone from calling people small minded to now insinuating that anyone who doesn't like Fred going to nebby is not a 'REAL' Cyclone fan.
I'm totally with @ChrisMWilliams. I've made my peace with this but Husker fans are going to make me lose it. These ******* people
Unprecedented levels is a stretch.
The whole premise of "supporting" him is weird to me. He's no personal friend of mine and I am not some kind of groupie that thinks he needs or wants my support. If he heads off to UCLA or something I won't begrudge him a good run although I'd likely be mostly indifferent. A good run if he went next door to Huskerland could possibly hurt ISU so I won't be indifferent to that, I'd have to wish for him to crash and burn. Legacy or no legacy, he bailed on us and he is now a competitor.

Crazy that such a loyal fan doesn't realize that 3 other coaches have had just as much success as Fred, one of those took ISU to the Elite Eight.
