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

[Dr. Zaius]

Yikes. If you think the fanbase is apathetic this year….

Carver is gonna be TOXIC

 

[tallperson54]

I wouldn't put any stock in what Fran said. I'm still thinking he'll be gone, but I don't know shit about anything

 

[Brad Wesley]

Fran threw the coldest of water on all of this today and said he's not going anywhere and fully committed and excited about his incoming classes.

Beth is going to give him another year.

He’s not going to take a penny less than stated in his contract. Still could be gone but he’s taking all the money.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Next year with Fran might challenge for worst team in the conference

 

[Hawk24]

Carver is gonna be EMPTY.

FTFY.

 

[Stu Beagle]

Next year with Fran might challenge for worst team in the conference

But if he stays we won’t lose all our best players!!

 

[HawkBall23]

Just want to be a kid playing a game!!

Oh and get paid for that as well

Maybe if he spent less time on his phone and a little more time on defensive drills .........

oh hell, forget it.

 

[HerkyHopeful]

As I have said multiple times, he's back next year.

Same here, brother

 

[Debit One]

Who cares enough about Iowa men's basketball to send a death threat?

We’ve found the culprit.

 

[6deuce]

Of course Izzo doesn’t want Fran to leave how many times has Fran beat him? Maybe 5 times?

 

[Hawk_Kegmasters]

Next year with Fran might challenge for worst team in the conference

Again?

 

[Lee Beevers]

Of course Izzo doesn’t want Fran to leave how many times has Fran beat him? Maybe 5 times?

Michigan state has lost 5 of their last 6 games against Iowa.

 

[brantshawks]

BIG, if true!

 

[Lee Beevers]

BIG, if true!

It’s real and it’s fantastic. However @6deuce’s point is also kind of valid. It appears Fran has only beaten Michigan State 8 times.

 

[AZmessDAWG]

Lee bows anything negative abt the basketball team

 

[Lee Beevers]

Lee bows anything negative abt the basketball team

Yes, I’m what we would call a non-faggot.

 

[AZmessDAWG]

Yes, I’m what we would call a non-faggot.

There’s no “we”.

 

[Lee Beevers]

There’s no “we”.

Correct. I am a superior fan and alumnus of the university of Iowa than you are. I also do not suck on men’s weiners which delivers me bonus points.

 

[26.2]

I bet you put up LeeDAWGGG as your name on your burge dorm room door on Day 1

 

[KitKatApples]

[Gushawk]

I wouldn't put any stock in what Fran said. I'm still thinking he'll be gone, but I don't know shit about anything

Fran said exactly what you’d expect a guy with his contract to say.

 

[brantshawks]

Fran said exactly what you’d expect a guy with his contract to say.

"I'm fully committed to the University of Butffuckville."

Next day: "I'm excited for my new opportunity at Cockerton U."

 

[Hawkstrat]

"I wasn't planning on announcing my retirement, but since a portly beat writer asked me at a midweek presser, I'm out."

 

[CamelTones]

It’s real and it’s fantastic. However @6deuce’s point is also kind of valid. It appears Fran has only beaten Michigan State 8 times.

3 wins at the Breslin Center though.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Payton Sandfort is one of the few people I have not told to kill themselves lately.

 

[6deuce]

Michigan state has lost 5 of their last 6 games against Iowa.

I said maybe!!

 

[Dr. Zaius]

 

[CamelTones]

Forgot in Fran’s first year when Iowa only won 11 games they crushed Michigan State at home. Led 41-20 at the half.

 

[AZmessDAWG]

Correct. I am a superior fan and alumnus of the university of Iowa than you are. I also do not suck on men’s weiners which delivers me bonus points.

Those that have to say they don’t, probably do. Fucking homo.

 

[Silky Johnson]

Yep. There was a huge snowstorm the night before but MSU was already in town so they played anyway. The crowd resembled a typical one these days.

 

[Geese]

I still think he's gone.

 

[Gushawk]

I still think he's gone.

His sideline behavior seems to suggest he knows it. Not going to do anything to trigger an argument for “cause” that gives the University some leverage.

 

[HiawathaHawk]

I still think he's gone.

Of course he is.

 

[AZmessDAWG]

His sideline behavior seems to suggest he knows it. Not going to do anything to trigger an argument for “cause” that gives the University some leverage.

But then why say that today? I can’t think of one good reason.

 

[HiawathaHawk]

But then why say that today? I can’t think of one good reason.

How else could he have answered that question?

 

[Brad Wesley]

But then why say that today? I can’t think of one good reason.

$$$$

If they want him gone, he’s entitled to his contract.

 

[AZmessDAWG]

How else could he have answered that question?

Idk. Focused on the season? But then that’s tipping his hand he’s gone I suppose.

 

[Gushawk]

But then why say that today? I can’t think of one good reason.

he has a contract to coach beyond this season. he can’t say yeah I’m thinking about quitting or will probably not be back.

 

[HiawathaHawk]

Idk. Focused on the season? But then that’s tipping his hand he’s gone I suppose.

If he’s asked about his future and says he’s only focused on this season, he gets several more follow up questions and it becomes the main story when he’s trying to make the seniors the focus for senior night.

Yeah as I was typing that I realized that.

 

[IowaWigman]

Yeah as I was typing that I realized that.

Well then shut the fuck up now.

 

[CamelTones]

If Illinois fired Brad Underwood, they would owe him $30.6 million. If Iowa were to fire Fran they would owe him $4.2 million over 3 years.

I see some people pissed about Frans contract. That’s about as friendly as they come.

 

[AZmessDAWG]

Well then shut the fuck up now.

Yeah well Sal’s SUCKS!

 

[brantshawks]

I was there. I think with @Bovert (maybe bought his tix?). By buddy Josh fell into a huge snow pile walking back to The Vine afterwards and I believe his shoe is till in that pile to this day.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Are you Irish

 

[brantshawks]

Are you Irish

I'm half drunk now. So....maybe.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

I'm half drunk now. So....maybe.

Definitely not irish

 

[Bovert]

Was that maybe the same night that Josh puked all over the blanket covering him as he crashed in one of my living room chairs, and then claimed in the morning he didn't puke? He was adamant. Pretty funny.

 

[Fair and Balanced]

These death threats are as real as Rolo’s neighbor Sergei.

 

[iowa4ever20]

Nebrantska was one of the last four in per Lunardi going into today and now has to win Sunday just to make the Big Ten Tournament.
