Yeah even one of the MU fans I was with was talking about LE being a great coach at ISU. Hell I even knew he was a good coach and I wasn't even an ISU fan back then.
I don't care about ISU? Please don't ever speak on my behalf again when you don't have a clue who I am. I just happened to be Victor Alexander's roommate for a semester in Larch Hall and drove him many times to/from practice while also having the pleasure of chumming it up with coach Orr while waiting on Victor's slow ***. I don't know how old you are, but I've experienced the highs and the heartaches of being a Cyclone fan since the Criner years. I'm proud to say I've been a Clone ever since being a Clone wasn't cool! But yeah you may be right I don't care about ISU because I don't agree you and your bashing of one of our most successful coaches of all time. Are you a closet Hawk? Seriously, Clones don't normally say what you are saying.

And Larry Eustachy just got his first NCAA tournament win since 2000. That was two jobs ago. That was before the pictures. Good for him.

1975 Freshman year - careful when you're initiating the message board smack talk with the " Jack *ss " comment (kinda reminiscent of LE lingo).
My sig line is Geoffroy's quote the day he fired your hero.
It is pretty telling how far you have to reach when the best points you can conjure up to hammer on him involve maybe individual 4-5 games over the course of his time at ISU

Don't forget the Mountain West
Great time flippin' channels tonight and watching LE win while Alford was losing to the smart guys.
Was what larry did wrong? Yes, and i think he would acknowledge that.
Did larry have bad seasons after the two championship seasons: yes.
Would larry have improved on that with wayne morgan (who could recruit but not coach) bringing in talent? Most likely.
Should larry have gotten off scot-free? no. certainly it needed to be addressed, but i dont think it had to go all the way to firing.
Should the administration have stood by him at least a little bit and offered him a chance to go to rehab and get his **** together? Absolutely. And the decision not to resulted in almost a decade of awful basketball at ISU and the near- death of hilton magic under mcdermott.
The administration could have gotten ahead of things, put him on unpaid leave, got him into treatment, let the story pass and put him on a short leash in case anything happened again. I think he had earned that. But BVDV was happy to have any excuse to can him.

I hope we get to cook his goose. It is always a pleasure at anytime anywhere to see ISU cook any former coach's goose.
