***2024-2025 Iowa Men’s Basketball Season Thread***

What a poor play design by Fran.

[HerkyHopeful]

I still think that deep banked in 3 should have counted.

Holy shit Fran, I've changed my tune. He's toast. There won't be anyone at the rest of the home games

 

[CamelTones]

Let's have Brauns hold the ball and wait for Dix to come from the baseline. Fucking stupid and left no other option. Fuck you and your entire family fran

It was either going to be Dix or Sandfort and they had 4 seconds.

The 2 missed layups before that were the bigger issue.

 

[HawkBall23]

So many (possibly, most of them were truly 'bang-bang') breaks from the refs and still couldn't do just enough to eke out a win vs an Oregon team that isn't all that great to start with, but didn't play well - outside of Bittle - in the 2nd half.

So Fran, and so over it.

 

[AZmessDAWG]

I won money at least.

Handjobs?

 

[KitKatApples]

Yep. Gay ones

 

[AZmessDAWG]

Handjobs?

Not sure.

 

[AZmessDAWG]

Yep. Gay ones

Shut the fuck up.

 

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

Traore sucks. They all suck.

 

[KitKatApples]

Shut the fuck up.

Fine!

 

[hawkeyealum]

I’ve probably watched less than 10 min of a game since USC. Tonight I watched house hunters.

it’s sad that Brad is paying money out of his pocket for this but Fran rolling his dogshit sons out there for what felt like his entire tenure plus no sweet 16 appearances makes nobody give a shit about men’s basketball.

Fran needs to go ASAFP

It will be the same as it’s been but bigger Saturday. Probably 6K tonight. Good crowd for being so small. Having some drunk students make noise helped.

Same script as most of the home games. Thought we’d run out of gas more, he basically didn’t sub the last 12-14 minutes. Oregon zone offense was horrible down the stretch. Blew too many opportunities.

 

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

This Nate Bittle slime from Oregon is one of the most Oregonian looking fucks of all time right down to being from "Central Point, OR" which I had no idea where it was despite having driven through it many times, and it turns out it's a suburb of Medford which puts it geographically among the least central points in all of Oregon.

Just seven or eight generations of logging family genes here:

Just exactly how high were you when you wrote this paragraph? I certainly am not high enough to read it without thinking you're retarded

Just wait until he finds out where Center Point Iowa is.

I don’t think Brad is paying out of his pocket for the basketball roster. Has more to do with football thinking they needed to bring back Kyler Fisher, Nick DeJong and Quinn Schulte but didn’t have scholarships for them. It’s actually funnier when you consider Fisher didn’t even bother going to class.

 

[KitKatApples]

I don't find that funny at all. These student athletes should be taking these opportunities seriously.

 

[KitKatApples]

but other than that, FUCK BITCHES, GET MONEY!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Stu Beagle]

I get the feeling Iowa is hardly unique in the fact the average fan has little interest in contributing to NIL

 

[douglasbader]

The average joe fan contributions were never going to be sustainable, especially at Iowa. At best they are a drop in the bucket and they really should be asking for them. Begging fans to donate $20 and telling sob stories will only embarrass your program. Brad needs to stop doing it.

Schools either need a big sugar daddy or an upper tier group that has enough fuck you money to throw away millions each year on this via their own wealth or the sponsorship of their companies. If you don't have that, you're fucked.

 

[Verbal]

College sports!

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Thanks a lot@ivan_drago

 

[ivan_drago]

You guys get enough run out of that yet? No? Carry on.

 

[KitKatApples]

Well maybe you'll think twice before destroying something America loves again

 

[The Incredible Hawk]

Sir, this is HaLo.

 

[ivan_drago]

Well maybe you'll think twice before destroying something America loves again

no i wont, and ill do it again

[L. Wade Childress]

Nice to see they used my idea.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Love the pedestrian walkway plan but i swear people cannot park in angled spaces correctly.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

All of these ramps are going to make it a disaster getting out

 

[L. Wade Childress]

All of these ramps are going to make it a disaster getting out

not if they continue to follow my plan.

 

[Pinehawk]

All of these ramps are going to make it a disaster getting out

Everyone is going to sit in that ramp for at least an hour waiting for people to back out and try to leave.

 

[CamelTones]

Nice to see they used my idea.

They’re starting it right after the one north of Kinnick is finished. The P3 that Bruce Harreld signed has been very positive for the university.

The hospital currently has over $1 Billion in projects in the works.

I agree with what you said, but it appears that this will be funded by revenue bonds.

it will interesting to see what type of return Kim and Bruce’s friends get on the fund investments.

 

[Silky Johnson]

Northwestern getting a win tonight. This team is hopeless, but that increases the odds of missing the BTT which *maybe* could actually spur a change.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

The overarching project includes upgrades to nearby lots, a new pedestrian crossing at Hawkins Drive and Newton Road



That doesn't make sense

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Keep in mind that was probably written by someone either out of state or by a bot and probably meant Elliot Drive

Hopefully there can be a direct game day exit from the ramp heading east on Newton and then a direct west exit onto Hawkins. That way pedestrian traffic does not have to wait for people pulling out of what is now the dental lot.

This also means that everyone’s parking space is going to get bumped down another level.

 

[Dr. Zaius]

What happens when they move Carver downtown?

Correct. A big holdup on a lot of projects (not the ramps) was the requisite utilities upgrades that came with it. Those used to require bonds. Now they just pay back Engie over a designated period of time. Also helps to not have anymore utility debt.

The meteor has already hit earth and we've been dead for years

I’ll be shocked if there isn’t a change regardless of what happens the rest of the regular season.

Sometimes it’s really hard to tell what’s going to happen next and it’s easy to get lost in uncertainty and various possibilities.

this is not one of those times.

can’t they pull off the endowment that was funded with the initial capital injection from the sale as well?

So then everything you said abt Brad is a moot point.

I want to believe.

Fuck Brad.

I’ll start with drinks and go from there
