**2025-2026 Iowa Basketball Season Thread**

[douglasbader]

Like when Izzo was raving about Todd and saying we should keep him forever?

Yes, the exact same thing. You cracked the code.

 

[The Dad]

@MikeyJoe time to ban Senior Clit from this thread.

Get pissed spaz.

 

[HerkyHopeful]

Get his kid out of the picture and I'll feel even better about the hire. Hopefully he'll realize throughout the season that his son has no business playing important minutes. I think it's probably on the radar of many in the athletic department as well.

This really was a perfect hire for Iowa and I can't imagine being upset after watching him pull two top 100 kids from recent final 4 teams and rebuilding a roster that has a shot to be good this year.

You're the one spazzing, spaz.

 

[The Dad]

You're the one spazzing, spaz.

Sorry I love the Hawks more than you do, fag.

 

[Wanderer]

I believe I called for Tupac at the time. If not him, someone similar.

Whoever the modern day George Raveling is.

So a guy who wins less than 60% of his games at Iowa and never wins a tournament game?

That doesn't matter. He was black.

Culture change ain’t easy. Sometimes it takes short term pain to realize long term gains.

100 coaches polled. 25 percent said ben was the best hire. several of the comments said they dont know him well so very impartial. theres no ties like running into him at big ten meetings every year like your izzo The Criminal scenario. u cant be this stupid

y were his cheeks so rosy

 

[KitKatApples]

Always neat to see a bunch of white people with no fucking black friends blather about Iowa needing more blacks on the team.

You have no friends regardless of race

 

[LifelongHawk]

It’s easy to make bets after the cards have been played.

What do you want to bet?
I'll wager the 2025-2026 Iowa Hawkeye Men's Basketball team qualifies for the NCAA tournament.

He wants a black Mike Krzyzewski. Who will also totally want to live in Iowa

 

[The Dad]

Probably Ames, if he did.

 

[Thomas Wolsey]

Probably Ames, if he did.

Hooray!

 

[chafedHawk]

 

[6deuce]

Iowa State was also paying all those players before the NIL era too, but please keep going it’s getting me hot.

 

[The Dad]

Then that makes us retards for not doing the same.

 

[BBK]

It is a tale
Told by an idiot

 

[maxinquaye]

WTF is wrong with you guys?

 

[douglasbader]

WTF is wrong with you guys?

It's one guy.

Last I checked we don’t have a billionaire donor and the bigger donors were sick of Fran’s shit.

 

[The Dad]

[rodg12]

The Dad going full retard in here.

More of the same as Fran? GTFOH. Shitting on a team because they have white guys like Bennett fucking Stirtz, Brendan Hausen, Alvaro Folgueiras and Cooper Koch is NLP/Steed level fucking dumb.

 

[Lee Beevers]

Jesus this faggot is going to fag around all season and if Iowa ends up 13-7 in conference be a big gay retarded fag about that because D’andre from Westinghouse was totally on his way to Iowa City if we hired some mid major black guy with no proven track record of being able to win at all.

 

[rodg12]

McCollum wins Trey Thompson over Purdue, UCONN and Kansas in his first 6 months on the job...SAME AS FUCKING FRAN!!!!

He's not even white!!!!!!!!!

They all look the same to @The Dad

 

[Thomas Wolsey]

Foreigners don’t count!!!1!!!1!!!

 

[Geese]

I'm excited for this basketball season. I also have a full head of hair.

It's easy to spout off on a message board when you don't have the balls to back it up.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

I think nearly everyone agreed that McCollum was a great hire.
Then he gave his kid a scholarship at a position for which we have no returning players and is now playing him double digit minutes in preseason scrimmages

 

[Stomper15]

To be fully honest, that "3 loss" Drake roster played a MVC schedule ranked as #127th hardest schedule last year vs. Iowa's that ranked as the #37th SOS.

Do you normally lie? Is that why you prefaced to be fully honest?

 

[The Dad]

Why don’t we meet over at Valley West Mall after work and we’ll see who’s spouting off!

 

[Fletch]

Geez. Go to a few afternoon meetings and come back to find out Dad went full faggot. And retard.

Cringe worthy shit, dude. Take a few plays off.

 

[Lee Beevers]

Isn't it great

 

[Lil Scamp]

I am also not super pumped. The next couple of years are going to be pretty rough unless Ben goes bananas in the portal this summer. I just don't see a ton of talent right now

 

[The Dad]

Geez. Go to a few afternoon meetings and come back to find out Dad went full faggot. And retard.

Cringe worthy shit, dude. Take a few plays off.

The Dad said we should have hired a black coach. Oh the horror.

 

[eclone]

I mean, you need to be fully honest then. His MVC roster lost 3 games, made the NCAA Tourney, kicked the shit out of Missouri and gave Texas Tech a run. His team this year is better (on paper) than that one.

What's the problem for now?

Do you normally lie? Is that why you prefaced to be fully honest?

You know what they say...you can't trust a word out of the mouth of a lawyer or a popcorn salesman.

 

[Lee Beevers]

Bike racks!!! I respect and support this!

 

[rodg12]

FULL. RETARD.

Everyone knows the sculpture park is the place for spouting off.

[Rolo Tomassi]

Can we give this coach 1 or 2 recruiting cycles before getting our undies knotted up?

But I like knotted undies.

 

[Kamala]

Could we at least see this team play for a handful of games to see what they bring to the table before getting all gay like this?

Yeah but not the first handful, our games against NW Buttfuck State tend to lead to wildly inaccurate conclusions about how thw season will play out and the skill level of our players.
