here is the difference, I never said that you were stupid, just that your post was.You said these players came from winning programs, and their teams will miss them, in a post about taggs leaving. That clearly insinuates that taggs old team didn't do either of those, which they did. In addittion if you have never seen any of those players swear, then you must not watch any basketball. I know this for a fact, Johnny will never be invited to a team event, McD may have a heart attack. It is an emotional game, and when things happens a player swears. What I have come up with from the people on this board as to who we need to get as recruits now it is:
A) somkeone who really truelly wants to be a clone
B) don't have to be talented, just need to work hard
C) no swearing or you get the bench.
What that basically describes is the small portion of the menonite community that could be considered an Iowa State fan. Does anyone seriously think fizer dreamed of being a clone, or tinsley, or clark for that matter. They all came here for the coach people. If you got rid of everyone on the team who didn't come to the school to be a clone you would be left with ross, AT, and likely the walk-ons. And that would be considered a pretty good team in terms of what we are looking for. If Mcd is chewing out people for swearing, what will happen the first time he hears that 21+ year old players go to a bar? He mightrun them off too. We just got rid of the puritanical reign of BVD which put my contributions in the tank, and now we may have the same situation in the head bball coach? As much as I have always loved the clones, there is absolutly no way I would have played there with a coach telling me I can't swear in practice, because I have to image he has a list of rules as long as WB's arm. These guys are not children and should not be treated as such.
