Random question. Does Fred Hoiberg own his own car dealership? My dad swears there is a Hoiberg dealership around Ames.
Someone told me Fred got some insurance money when his NBA career ended abruptly and he invested in the car dealerships as a shelter for the money...or something like that.
Anyone else love beating that cheating snake on his own court as much as i did? Why would any recruit want to play there with the stands half empty. Hope his used car business picks up.
If this game had been played in Hilton, with all of the "bubble" ramifications that it had, we would have had a near sell-out. The empty seats all around their gym were really conspicious tonight. I hope a certain stud recruit we're both after was watching.

I get that Iowa State is an up-and-coming brand and may not have the name that carries weight as much as the Texas and Oklahomas of the world, but it always has made me wonder why top notch recruits would rather not play for 1, 2, or even 3 years in FB or in BB play in front of a half empty arena when they could play @ Iowa State where we have no pro teams and they will be THE SHOW in central Iowa week in and week out at Jack Trice or Hilton...
you pretty much answered that question within the question. i'm from iowa and i don't even want to go back. sorry to burst your bubble but most people at large would rather be somewhere else, especially considering most recruits have nothing to tie them to iowa like most of us have.
So glad Rhoads and Hoiberg are here for the long haul and the culture of winning is here again to match the fan support that has been here as well.
