Every year Fred loses a stinkhole of a game. I'm fairly certain he does this on purpose to get the players attention.

He let's them play their shoddy defense and poor shot selection offense until they lose. Then he huddles them up and says that was fun but are you guys ready to play some Hoiball now.

Please be trolling with this part.

I don't think a Kansas fan would know who Mckay is. Lots of cool aid here though.

Any Kansas fan who has spent the time to check into this years team would. It's not like he's some secret player we picked up yesterday or anything.

Half tongue in cheek and half serious. Seems to happen every year. A method to the madness?

Hopefully not since throwing games gets you put in time out with the NCAA. Scary to think about Hoiberg being that big of a genius though

First paragraph summed it up. Still no talk of the lousy post defense though.

Until I get a full out apology and explanation on that I'm going to be one cranky little boy. I want every single last detail addressed otherwise I won't believe our team understands that they played bad last night.

Might want to invest in a sarcasm detector rather than putting all your eggs in the ignore list basket lol.

No sarcasm here, I'm super cereal. I've been a fan since the Taft administration, singlehandedly laid every brick in State Gym, and am writing a $7 billion check to the athletic department as we speak to lure Phil Jackson away from the Knicks and finally instill a culture of winning at Iowa State.

Fred would never throw a game. He might leave the team to their own devices though too get their attention.

I actually agree, but don't think it's an "I'm going to purposely lose this game!" mentality. Instead, I think it's a "I let my players do what they want and run free, but suggest them things to improve. I don't harp on it until I show them why they lost doing what they're doing." Fred likes to have his players have a lot of freedom. He respects them. We grow from losses and change what needs changing. For example, the MVSU game with Royce White changed the teams mentality, or two years ago we had an almost loss(too lazy to look it up right now). I alwya sexpect to lose noncon games because of this. Last year was a nice surprise.

Hi, my name is Little Cletus!

I'm just a regular kid who want you to know the real truth about the NCAA. Ok? It's a money hungry organization that gives preferential treatment to the more powerful programs. Let's talk about the transfer rules. Oklahoma get's to have their transfers play immediately while smaller programs like ISU have to have their transfers sit until the second semester. That's just not fair.

Why's everyone freaking out? It's not like we got beat by Popcorn State University. We are 3-1, that's better than our football team.
