**2025-2026 Iowa Basketball Season Thread**

[douglasbader]

The guy on the right, Rico Bosco got in tight with the McCaffery’s and repeatedly said they screwed up by firing Fran and when Iowa would lose, would say “The grass isn’t always greener”.

So Portnoy and everyone have been clowning him and laughing at him since Florida. Connor apparently feels this is disrespectful and disappointing from a fan of Caitlin’s.

 

[douglasbader]

Hahahahah Caitlin Clark blocked Portnoy because they revealed that Connor called crying about the coverage and then they let it be known on that stream.

There is no bigger petty shits in the world. Everyone involved in this is such a fucking asshole douche.

Edit - it was Patrick, not Connor, but lolz.

 

[HerkyHopeful]

That video makes it sounds like it was lily Patrick that called. Either way those stupid fucks can't get out of their own way. They're cancers and hopefully Caitlin Clark figures it out before too long.

 

[HiawathaHawk]

Kakert confirmed that he’s not talking to several of his former teammates who have continued to support Iowa.

 

[BillyBob]

The lil mccaffreys are slowly approaching Kirk’s son, Brian Ferentz status.

what a couple of fukkin losers.

They don't realize the more and more they do this the worse it will get for them and Caitlin and their dad. Someone needs to intervene with those two dipshits.

Ideally it would be their own father.

 

[Stu Beagle]

Not good for Clark’s brand

Not good for Clark’s brand

As much as we shouldn't care, it's not good for Iowa either. There is obviously a forced rift there now on some level. It sucks to have one of the more popular athletes in the world not able to even talk about her beloved school because she chooses to shack up with a fucking childish douchebag.

Lolol

Fuck those twerps

Brian was an awful OC but was a great player and OL coach who loved Iowa. He hasn’t went out of his way to publicly shit on the program since he left. The McCaffery sons passed Brian a long time ago.

Entirely different situations.

 

[Greg Obrecht]

And firing Fran was completely vindicated this year. That’s why those chodes are so butt hurt. Fuck all of them.

 

[gohawkeyes811]

Caitlin souring her relationship with Iowa fans over this is so fucking immature it's unbelievable. I have to imagine there are some people in her ear about this, but maybe not?

I know her brand is huge, but in the long run this would be stupid of her to continue to be petty.

 

[gohawkeyes811]

I mean, she's dating Connor McCaffery so that really tells us all we need to know.

At the same time, anyone blocking Dave Portnoy demonstrates excellent decision making.

 

[AZmessDAWG]

I have hard time giving a shit about this.

Lol this is going straight in the selfies thread.

Yet here you are posting in the thread....

 

[TurdBurgler]

Of course it was Fredo (Pat) that called. That guy sucks.

 

[cloudhawk]

Has she blocked AB?

 

[LifelongHawk]

Fran had a thousand opportunities to intervene, but instead partnered with large marge to turn out utterly entitled assholes.

 

[AZmessDAWG]

Well yes. I’m one of the few that have been following the women’s team pre-CC. I post in this thread. Not this topic.

The twat brothers are irrelevant to 99.999% of the world population. Go be butthurt daddy got fired for having a ceiling, and the replacement immediately crashing through it. Who cares.

Most of Iowa’s ongoing benefit from being associated with Clark requires absolutely nothing out of her. She’s known as the Iowa girl, she’ll continue to do things in the state, and whether she shows up and waves at a game or tweets something is almost completely without value.

There are posts where you and I were discussing the Gustafson squads in 2017. /csb

Agreed. Brian's degeneracy was purely performance-related.

McCaffery is an all-around bitch

Simultaneous.

I was posting on SuperHawkeye about Jennie Lillie and Shanda Berry so fuck all you pretenders.

what’s crazy to me is that Fran turns around and takes a 5th team to the tourney, and they are still butthurt.

 

[Stu Beagle]

Fran got like 15 years, made a ton of money, got to coach his kids. Then gets to go back home and coach at his Alma mater. That’s about as good as it gets for a guy like that

Exactly. Iowa gave his chode sons everything they could’ve asked for and made their family generationally wealthy. For that alone they can fuck off with any complaints.

And this is all recognizing that Fran was a solid coach whose time had just run its course. Sorry, not everyone gets to be Kirk. It’s okay.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Iowa fans didn’t even hate Fran. Everyone was rooting for him with Penn. and his legacy would have been much better if his kids never played for him. Just a brutal self inflicted situation. Fuck Marge.

Does connor have a job at this point? Youd think the connor/caitlyn partnership gets real awkward real quick if connor is unemployed. Its one thing when he can latch on to the narrative of being an up and coming coach. Much harder if his "job" is being one of 29 assistants for his dad. On the flip side caitlyn could be turning dyke from so much time in the wnba and connor is as good a beard as any.

15 years with no sweets 16s and they thought they were wronged. Fuck each and every one of them.

Hairy situation

I was back there for the Iowa women’s fab 5 and final 4 run in the early 90s.

Thinking of I am a giant douche schools who would have given as much time. NW, Neb, MN and Rutgers? Not a group you want to be associated with

I think Rutgers would be very satisfied with Fran style results. Maybe NW. MN and Neb i think demonstrably would not just looking at how they fired eecent coaches.

If my employer pays me $20M and fires me, my kids will rightfully appreciate said former employer for the lifestyle they would surely benefit from as a result of that $20M.

 

[jandj]

Fuck Marge.

That’s what Fran did to cause this problem.

 

[Thomas Wolsey]

If my employer pays me $20M and fires me, my kids will rightfully appreciate said former employer for the lifestyle they would surely benefit from as a result of that $20M.

Are your kids entitled cunts that never had to face consequences for fucking up? Did your employer let you give your kids jobs, results be damned?

 

[6deuce]

If my employer pays me $33 million and fires me, my kids will rightfully appreciate said former employer for the lifestyle they would surely benefit from as a result of that $33 million.

FIFY

 

[Creed]

Are your kids entitled cunts?

Sometimes

Did your employer let you give your kids jobs, results be damned?

Not yet, but give it time.
