Do you really think coming back to ISU was an option at that point? Was coaching another NBA team offered to him either? What is he supposed to do at that point for work - start selling satellite dishes?
So who were you rooting for last night?
- Thread starter surly
- Start date
No I didn't expect him to come back. He made a big deal about wanting to be in the NBA so it's a slap in the face 1. to come back to college and 2. go to a school so close to ISU.
Yeah I'm pretty sure the money he got from Chicago and ISU he would have been ok and could have gotten a NBA front office job if he was really desperate.
how many times did I read on here by posters and by CW that he’d retire early, etc?
He’s real good at PR.
And we should want Iowa to fail because they kicked our asses at home and are even more our recruiting rivals for as long as the state keeps putting out division 1 talent. Anything you can bring up for Nebby is pretty much the same for Iowa too, but worse since they're closer to us and better than Nebraska
Why take a front office job when your passion is coaching? He could take a front office job and make 6 figures or he could find another coaching job and make 7 figures. Be realistic.
Very true. I want both to fail. In normal circumstances I’d want fred to win last night. I was completely unhappy with either result though because I knew it’d start a whole other ******* prohm vs hoiberg debate that is very unhealthy for this fan base.
Surly thread not about KState? Not sure what to do with this. TCU. I was rooting for TCU last night.
Some interesting takes. Since Fred didn't have an option to come back to ISU, if a State fan, I'd probably want to see him thump the dastardly hawkeyes. But gosh, Ku could be playing the flu and I'd root for illness. So, there is that.
Yeah it is pretty clear that you are going to hate Fred no matter what. Have a nice day.
Well Duh, as I stated above I'm not going to cheer for someone who thinks they are too good for ISU.
No issue with chasing the big bucks and going to the Bulls. But how do you explain Fred wanting to go to the golden goofers?
I'm happy to report I didn't even know this game was played. But saddened that only one team lost.
If they can't both lose I suppose it's better for NU to lose since it's to our advantage if Nebrasketball remains an insignificant joke afterthought of a program. I hear they have a new coach or some sh#t...

When the Hawks and the Huskers play --
I am rooting for the meteor.
Yep, I was disappointed when it didn't hit.
Some of us (born in the 712) hated Nebraska before we ever knew who Fred was. My hate has subsided since they left the Big12, but it's still alive and well.
It has nothing to do with Fred and everything to do with Nebraska.
JFC, Surly. It's not about Fred. If both teams never won again it'd be good for ISU.
And F%ck Iowa.
And F%ck Nebraska.
Not just coming back to college. He could have gone to Boston College or Washington State, and we would have never seen nor heard of him again. No one would care and ISU would be totally unaffected.
But when he plants his butt in Lincoln, 50 miles from the Iowa border, he obviously has no intent of avoiding ISU in recruiting, and actually he has directly and intentionally placed himself in position to battle with ISU for recruits, taking advantage of all the relationships he, Doc and Matt established when he was at ISU.
