*** 2025-2026 Iowa women’s basketball season thread ***

[LifelongHawk]

Fennelly retired.

 

[newsbreaker]

Fennelly retired.

He just put out a statement saying he was coming back, not 3 hours ago.

 

[The Full Monte]

Guessing 95 percent of Iowa State fans love Jamie

Correct. There is no gulf in existence as big as the public opinions on Pollard inside and outside of that fanbase. They had a very brief moment of awakening after Campbell left. That lasted about 45 seconds before they put Pollard’s dick right back in their mouths and resumed eye contact

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Hopefully Pollard gets fired before the tax payers are on the hook for this commercial development debacle

 

[Lee Beevers]

Congrats on having your own Gary Barta

Full retard comp, my brother. It was bad and you should feel bad.

 

[fossilhawk]

Lost a tremendous player.

Their window to win just got narrower.

Resumed eye contact— made me spit pop out

 

[LifelongHawk]

That's what I get for believing a prosecutor.

 

[KitKatApples]

Yea although, being faced with the failure would be funny

 

[BngHawk]

Full retard comp, my brother. It was bad and you should feel bad.

Oh fuck you, shorty.

 

[eclone]

lol what? All the clones I know, which is way too many, worship the fucker.

I'm glad I don't know your friends then. Because my rather large and diverse circle of Iowa State fans can't stand him. Basically since Fred left if not before.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

you are lucky. My friends fucking suck.

 

[Shawneemicks]

I’ve literally never met an isu person who didn’t LOVE pollard. Not one. It’s weird af

 

[Lee Beevers]

Oh fuck you, shorty.

Denied.

 

[eclone]

I feel vindicated that I don't run in the same ISU fan circles as @L. Wade Childress and @Shawneemicks

 

[KitKatApples]

That sigh of relief had to feel great

The point you’re missing here is that Jamie has been the same desperately insecure, sniveling twat forever. The fact that a portion of the fanbase has only very recently; post Campbell departure…started to realize it…speaks volumes.

 

[Revolver]

Caught the end of that South Carolina/UConn game. What the fuck was Geno Auriemma so pissed about? That was weird.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Geno got his ass kicked and is a sore loser.

 

[gohawkeyes811]

He has always been a tremendous baby.

 

[Lee Beevers]

Caught the end of that South Carolina/UConn game. What the fuck was Geno Auriemma so pissed about? That was weird.

He no longer has the biggest cock in women’s college basketball and cannot handle that reality.

 

[Stu Beagle]

Just realized Raven Johnson literally translates to GameCock

 

[HerkyHopeful]

Kids put on the last minute of the second quarter. I believe I saw three shots, two of which didn't even hit rim. I think I've seen enough women's final four for the year.

 

[Pinehawk]

I know everyone hates Barstool, but saw this and it’s interesting about Caitlin Clark.
She’d had a positive relationship with Dave Portnoy, Barstool guy, and big Caitlin Clark fan. Talked her up plenty.
But, she (or Conner) apparently got all pissed about the McCollom/McCaffery coverage and blocked Portnoy. Clark had nothing to say about Iowa’s Elite 8 run. If she turns her back on Iowa fans, and other supporters, she may be overestimating her popularity and lasting support.

 

[Pinehawk]

Just saw the discussion of this in the other thread.

 

[Talkin' Goat]

Uhhhh Clark’s brand is a zillion times bigger than basically anything. Iowa needs her waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more than she needs Iowa. Hopefully it doesn’t come to that and there’s really no animosity though of course.

 

[CleteyColgate]

[L. Wade Childress]

Imagine even considering doing iowa dirty for…the McCafferys?

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Fran is a decent guy who hasn’t intentionally burned any bridges or done anything stupid. This is entirely the fault of his bully, enabling wife and the kids.

 

[TurdBurgler]

Fran was treated very fairly by Iowa, and is mostly well liked by fans still. We had a chance to get a stellar coach and we took it. Is Fran being considered for the UNC job?

 

[cloudhawk]

Endowed use here is bothering me

 

[HerkyHopeful]

Team who knocked out Iowa in the tournament. Their guard was a stud

 

[Hawk&Balls]

That seems odd

 

[BBK]

That seems odd

It's the eyebrows

 

[Herbie2]

Team who knocked out Iowa in the tournament. Their guard was a stud

Insane. Her VA teams got better every year, and in 6 seasons as a HC she has 2 Sweet 16s.

 

[Hawk24]

Let’s move these discussions to the women’s bball offseason and portal thread.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

 

[MoneyPit]

It's the eyebrows

Or maybe the six head.

 

[Iowatheltics]

Fran is a decent guy who hasn’t intentionally burned any bridges or done anything stupid. This is entirely the fault of his bully, enabling wife and the kids.

He isnt decent enough to tell his kids it was his job that he didnt get it done and to tell them to stfu it looks so petty

 

[L. Wade Childress]

He isnt decent enough to tell his kids it was his job that he didnt get it done and to tell them to stfu it looks so petty

He let his kid take a mental health break. I don’t think he calls the shots in that family.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Insane. Her VA teams got better every year, and in 6 seasons as a HC she has 2 Sweet 16s.

And no one cares, which makes it even more crazy

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Maybe they think Dawn Staley will be available

 

[AZmessDAWG]

Sure don’t hate seeing South Carolina getting their ass beat.

 

[Lil Scamp]

Women's final four has had far more surprises than I predicted

Makes me feel less awful about being housed by UCLA twice

 

[AZmessDAWG]

Staley. is completely checked out. She has no clue what to do when her teams get challenged.

 

[Lil Scamp]

Staley. is completely checked out. She has no clue what to do when her teams get challenged.

She and Geno are two sides of the same coin

Punch em in the face and they fold

 

[WCFHawkeye]

Hate to see it.

 

[Stu Beagle]

I made some money. Couldn’t believe Lady Cocks were favorites

 

[WCFHawkeye]

I think at this point they only have 2 players who won't be entering the portal. Something's going on there...clashes with the coaching staff? Pissed at Pollard's handling of the gymnastics situation? Not enough NIL money? Some combo of all this?

No idea if true, but came across this today.

 

[Verbal]

 

[HawkeyeJonesEsq]

Does he not understand that the Women's games were going to be 15 more nights the Applebee's in Pollardville will have above-average crowds?
