I wouldn't blame him for that either.

IowaFan fucking sucks.
You are IowaFan
No, dipshit IowaFan is running around on twitter and other social media trashing the program. IowaFan is bitching about Fran's salary. IowaFan is begging for Barta and Fran to be fired so they can put Dolph on their shoulders. IowaFan is crowing about how if they lost to Illinois they would have been in Dayton. IowaFan hates Patrick because he is skinny.

I'm an Iowa Fan and a dipshit as well, but not IowaFan.
I feel like this is IowaMedia more than IowaFan but maybe they just have a louder voice.

Bracket looks like it could really open up for Iowa after the Tennessee OT payback Sunday.
They are going to payback their way to the Elite 8:

2005 - loss to Cincinnati
2014 - loss to Tennessee
2016 - loss to Villanova

They are going to exorcise the demons right up into these teams’ assholes.

IowaFan is claiming Nixon raped someone
IowaFan is getting ready to celebrate the 10th Anniversary this fall of their sexual harassment of another board poster and their public intox arrest.

I still think Frans name pops up in coaching searches this year. Just a gut feeling. Even though he makes it harder on himself than needed, I would still be frustrated with our fanbase. But coaches also tend to live in a bubble and Fran DGAF about many opinions other than his. But it’s just crazy to me all the shit that is talked about him and his family on social media, all because he’s not all “aw shucks” like Kirk or Dr Tom.

Feels a bit like the McDermott situation to me.
McDermott had 4 straight losing seasons, no postseason appearances and no reason to think that might change. Fran has been to 4 of 6 NCAAs (and post season in 7 of the last 8) and should be expected to be in the tournament again next year. Feels a bit different to me.
And I feel like Greg was still better liked by his Fanbase than Fran
What?
McDermott at UNI or at ISU. Because Cyclone fans of all types HATE McDermott. If you think Iowa fan thinks Carton was a miss...what do you think ISU fan thinks of Barnes? Fran is WAY more "liked" and appreciated by Iowa fans becuase he was WAY more successful than McDermott ever was in Ames.

Fran leaving the year before 2 of his kids will be on the team is an all time moronic discussion, especially the week of the dancing Hawkeyes.

Bracket looks like it could really open up for Iowa after the Tennessee OT payback Sunday.
You think they wouldn't go with him?

I could see Connor staying around to play baseball while Patrick goes with him.

I don't think he's leaving, I just think that's a dumb reason. Patrick and Connor didn't pick Iowa because they love Iowa, they're at Iowa because Fran is at Iowa. I assume if he left they'd go with him.

No, dipshit SPORTSFan is running around on twitter and other social media trashing the program/TEAM. SPORTSFan is bitching about COACH salary. SPORTSFan is begging for AD/OWNER and COACH to be fired so they can put LOCAL PERSONALITY on their shoulders. SPORTSFan is crowing about how if they lost IN TOURNAMENT/PLAYOFF they would have been in Dayton/ON THE ROAD. SPORTSFan hates KID/FIRST ROUND PICK because he is skinny/SHORT/SLOW/ETC.

Fucking Loyola of Chicago went last year, you morons just don't get it. The dance with a chance can be fun, just ask Ali Farokhmanesh. Or some prick devils from NW Louisiana.

It's all about styles and matchups, and I've talked myself into kind of liking the Cincy matchup. Bit of a one trick pony offensively, and Moss and Dailey could be the kind of guys that can contain Cumberland. Or the length of the zone with Connor and Joe up top could give them trouble. Rebound!

If they struggle to score, our shooters and/or a parade to the foul line should be enough.

Toss it up! Go Hawks!

The beauty of the tournament. I can always talk myself into a deep run.

Cincinnati is limited offensively and not deep. If we can hit shots and the refs don't allow mugging, good shot. Close to a toss up game.

Tennessee is really good but their defense isn't elite and they only play one guy over 6'7. They can kill is athletically and strength wise, but maybe that's limited!

Then the Sweet 16 matchups....

I hope he starts winning more, because when people see how good DJ Carton is...it's going to make for a situation not unlike Tom Davis, where people start asking why he can't keep the best players here.
That's one guy since Marcus Paige when he was in his first year. That's the last thing people should complain about.
I disagree. He was brought in primarily as a guy who was going to upgrade recruiting. Carton is a player at THE key position that we've been lacking since he's been here. IIRC, Carton even played on Patrick's AAU team all these years...& now (unlike Paige who went to a true 'blue blood' program)...he goes to another middling program in conference & we have to see him twice every year.

We'll see. I just see that one as a really big miss.

Aside from the inaccuracies already pointed out....most people don’t understand what an incredible environment Columbus is for student athletes.

He must be pretty fucking good if they keep playing him like this already and batting clean up as a freshman.

Still 3 days till the game, speculate on........

Say Fran does leave, who are potential candidates? I really have no idea and the thought of Barta filling the head coaching position with no obvious replacement is scary.

Why assume he's not coming back? I also don't like Iowa's odds of getting someone any better

Your mom, coach K, Jim Harbaugh, Steve Forbes (the rich guy, not the coach), Chris Jans, Steele Jantz.

Doug says Speraw really hurt his chances with the team's poor performance against Wisconsin.

SIAP, but Carton is originally from Geneseo, Illinois. Geneseo is definitely not Hawkeye country. So....
