Fran isn't going anywhere. It's stupid to even think there is any possibility of it.

I think there's a good chance he jumps ship and goes to a school where all of the fans are reasonable and well-informed.

lol. well said. I always chuckle when real fans like Doug opine on "Iowa fan" like they are somehow worse or much different than any other fanbase.

Who was the hostage?
Hansen. :icon_lol: He just looked super nervous (as he would normally have nothing to do with the coach's show), it wasn't that there appeared to be tension between him and Fran.

Why does Dolph put up with this? He should quit and make Barta look even worse, if that's possible.

Maybe they are working out an agreement where he no longer does basketball, and everyone can be happy. If you don’t enjoy the team being on the road all the time for basketball could become a drag.

Iowa Fan when it comes to Basketball is absolutely worse than other fanbases.

Because Iowa has the only fanbase retarded and "awww shucks(y)" enough to accept his mediocrity.

He does radio. You think anyone under 45 is listening on a regular basis?
So this is what all the uproar is about? A bunch of blue hairs who don't go to the games and don't have cable television?

Sadly I am for a lot of first halves because they start before I've left work or during my commute, but "people on the west coast" is obviously not the primary demo. It'd be nice if the announcer was less bad at telling me what happens though.

regardless of the context, referring to a black athlete as a giant gorilla is a pretty clear no-go zone. after all, it's been over 30 years since howard cosell called joe morris "a little monkey" and got fired for it.

if you're a professional, you should be aware of sedimented meanings....
Hey Davidukenpas, it was Alvin Garett, not Joe Morris.
Cosell also didn't get fired for it, iirc.

Do you honestly think Dolph has had two fuck ups this season and that’s it?

Do you honestly think the University of Iowa would do that to someone?

It is truly amazing and a crazy coincidence that the media has chosen to side with another member of the media for the 87430653th consecutive time.

Just watched it. He was stiff talking to the camera for reads but their discussion around the games was much better than normal. He was better than Dolph in that aspect and had Fran more engaged and conversational.

This would as close to ideal as it could possibly be.
Its probably almost impossible to get this to shake out like I'm hoping, but going off the provided graphic, I believe this would be the ideal 1-6 seeding; 1 MSU, 2 Michigan, 3 Wisconsin, 4 Purdue/UM, 5 Maryland/PU, 6 Iowa. Would love a 3rd shot at Wisky, no matter the outcome in Madison, and like pointed out above w/ Michigan - get Teske in foul trouble and hope Michigan isn't lighting the nets on fire from long range. Very beatable if those two things happen.

Now if Iowa jumps to the 5 seed, then ideally the 1-4 would be; 1 Purdue, 2 MSU, 3 Michigan/Maryland and 4 Wisconsin/Michigan.

Apparently there are some big donors going after Barta after the whole Dolph fiasco and lack of transparency. Barta may be out in the next couple weeks.

No fucking way is Barta getting fired because of Gary Dolphin. Come on man. You made it through med school so I know you are smarter than to believe this.

Well folks, I think things could be getting interesting in Iowa City regarding the choosing of lanes. Not comfortable saying anything more. But, I guess stay tuned.
