**2020 Iowa Basketball Off-Season Thread**

[L. Wade Childress]

I like basketball at least as much as football and I am fucking horrible at both.

 

[HerkyHopeful]

Other than shoot, what does bohannon do better than JoeT?

Not slipping

 

[The Incredible Hawk]

I both confirm and deny your hypothesis. I liked football, and I was an ok-at-best split end/wr, but it just didn't interest me the way that basketball did, and I got kind of bored with it. In football, your position meant that you worked on doing a couple of things well, on one side of the ball. In basketball, you had to do a lot of things well on both sides of the court. Football was stop-start-stop-start. Basketball was constant motion, an always fluid situation -- especially if it was uptempo with pressure defense.

What if you played both ways and were on all of the special teams? Obviously the experience is very different from person to person.

What is the theory you’re trying to develop here?

hes trying to tell us that he used to play both ways, IYKWIM

I played on everything all the way up until varsity where I was 2nd team DE and C and the long snapper. Due to our rotation I played quite a bit.

I played no basketball in HS. It was still and is still #1.

"and we get Maisha Dailey?"

"Jigaboo."

the stop-start-stop-start thing was what I didn't like. that, and the helmet and the pads. constant movement, minimal gear was more my thing.

To be honest, I stopped paying attention to the off-season superlatives after him comparing Olaseni to Rodman and stating that Mike Gesell would play PG at Iowa and in the NBA.

Kirk’s son, Brian Ferentz may be Jade...but there's no way that Fran is @Monster

 

[Dr. Zaius]

I guess I've assumed the ACC-BigTen challenge wasnt going to happen this year.

What did that tweet say?

 

[CamelTones]

What did that tweet say?

Pretty sure it was a tweet with potential Douche-ACC challenge matchups but was just someone’s opinion.

 

[rodg12]

Hawks will host their own MTE this year. Fran confirmed today.

 

[Fletch]

Amana-Hawkeye Classic!

Maryland Eastern Shore and then UC-Irvine in the finals.

I was going to say Pepperdine but didn’t want to get Hounded excited about a potential alumni night.

 

[Stomper15]

SMH. FRANNNNNNN! C'mon.

McCaffery said there’s a chance he’ll play all five freshmen this season but firmly sees two or three logging significant minutes. He wants a much deeper rotation than he had last season.

Not seeing the problem. Build a 50-point lead with a small rotation in the first half, play everyone else in the second. And you just do that every game.

 

[KitKatApples]

Simple enough

 

[douglasbader]

I'm not worried like I was before with the playing of 11 guys, mostly because none of those 11 guys will include anyone shitty like Brady Ellingson, Ahmad Wagner and Maishe Daily.

Not the same danger when your 10th and 11th players are Ulis and Perkins.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Uhhhh...we already knew about the MTE

 

[douglasbader]

Uhhhh...we already knew about the MTE

We knew about a potential one, but this one sounds like it will be different.

 

[HiawathaHawk]

We knew about a potential one, but this one sounds like it will be different.

I don't think so.

 

[Revolver]

Uhhhh...we already knew about the MTE

I didn't even know what an MTE was until today.

 

[CamelTones]

 

[BuffettHawk]

Damn.

 

[Shpadoinkle]

Boyoyoyoying!!!!!

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Holy shit

 

[HiawathaHawk]

That's fucking awesome.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

I didn't even know what an MTE was until today.

You are such a privileged little white shit

 

[StinkyMcFadden]

FUCK YOU, GUS!!!!

 

[Revolver]

Are they still too scared to play UNI?

 

[CamelTones]

It’s replacing the Oregon State game.

 

[AZmessDAWG]

You’re an oregon state game.

That worked out well.

 

[Jimmie Dimmick]

Never got a boner that fast

Same day as the Big Ten championship game. Pace yourselves, gentlemen.
