If they win and keep Fran, that's great. If they lose, that's funny. Either way I'm happy.
McCollum to Indiana. Devries ain’t going there lol. Dude will be coaching in the SEC or at a top Big 10 school in a couple years.
I think if they just make Tourney they cannot fire him
Does not need to be sweet 16

a long NIT run that ends in the championship game as a loss in a route.
Who cares. They’re irrelevant. We have a top 15 team and you’re posting about a team that has difficulty being on the bubble every year.
Hope they keep him although unless they somehow built a power it does not really impact us much. We play them once a year and are not in the same league so to me it's mostly a bunch of Iowan's getting all wrapped around the axle over "rivalry". We don't recruit Iowa much and don't really seem to recruit the same guys much. Neither Iowa nor the Minnesota Gophers are factors or likely to be big factors.
Iowa does not have the NIL money (they have football to worry about and spend $$$ on) or any recent history that makes them much of a threat to be good. Can't say the same about their WBB program, that's running along pretty well. Bigger deal since we do recruit Iowa for WBB and it generates more Div I level players than in MBB.

I never get tired of stats like these for Fran teams: Iowa 7-14 from three, down by 9. lol.
Honestly I don’t really care at all. If they somehow got DeVries that doesn’t scare me either. Not sure he will even succeed at the big level. Iowa basketball is so irrelevant at this point.
I just want Fran to be given the chance to complete what he’s been doing at Iowa: burying their men’s basketball program beyond the point of resurrection.

He's been so busy digging out from the Lickliter era, that he didn't notice the dirt falling back into the hole.
Comical as Fran is/ has always been, he is a big reason my hawk hate is as strong as it currently is. I never want to see Iowa reach another Sweet 16. But I especially never want Fran to know the feeling.
Could you imagine being unemployed and having to live with an empty nested Marge?
Sweet fancy Moses.

What tourney? The NIT? They are a thousand miles from the bubble.
I don't think they are firing him at this point. Do we really think he is even at risk right now? I know he sucks but I don't think they are ready to pull the trigger on him yet.
