That's Fran's way of saying: "CJ is a competitor. We thought he was pushing for a strong rotation role, but it made sense to redshirt him. This guy is a competitor -- he was forcing his way into minutes. It's incredibly unfortunate he broke a few ribs."
Fundraiser for adolescent and young adult cancer program. Raises a couple hundred thousand per year. It’s similar to the kick off lunch that Kirk does. The focus is on the cancer program, but the coaches get up and talk about the plauers and upcoming season. This one is put on by Margaret and her friends, so it has a more gala/cocktail party type atmosphere. Its held on the Carver court. Mostly locals, but I did bump into Gasser and his wife.
I’ve been trying to decide on this. On the one hand they laid a giant egg last year, so it’s understandable the lack of preseason expectations they are getting from the media. But on the other hand, last season’s team had the talent to finish top half in the Big Ten and had they done so I’ll bet they would have some Top 4 type of expectations.
Heck he's probably graduated academically. Smart kid.
He’s working on his PhD (pimpin hoes degree).
Better than Anthony Tucker's random message he got from a fan on Facebook.
Yet not as good as “Life as a G”.
Also according to Emmert, Garza expects to participate in the scrimmage Sunday.
I've shared the story of Guy Rucker showing up alone at Daryl Moore's black tie wedding dressed like ODB, acting embarrassed and nervous as shit, and then ending up the star of the night gladhanding with every Iowa basketball swell in the room and soaking up a program's worth of love. That was a cool thing to see.
@TH1974LOL
@TH1974 u should walk over to cha and snag one of these posters. Maybe pick up a couple of game tics while you’re there
What?
Is this serious?
Do we know if Fran is flexible enough to play zone as needed? He clearly has acknowledged the need for defensive emphasis, however I fear he is anti-zone.
You dug deep for that one didn't you ?
I’d be shocked if a Bobby Knight disciple like Fran would ever even have a zone d in his arsenal, personally.
Wtf?
You hang a lot of college basketball posters in your house, loog? You get 'em autographed, too? Classy.
You have to capitalize it.
That's how I feel about Iowa football fan.
You need to get the admins to change his handle to 1974
Why? You deaf?
IT.
I get it. Not yet.
Some of the offensive efficiency was due to being down 20+ in way too many games. No way does the other team’s defense give as much of a shit in that situation. I still think this team is good on offense, just not as good as the stats indicated last year.
