I know that a lot of people like this kind of thing, but god it is so fucking lame.

It's just marketing man. Don't get your panties in a bunch.

 

[newsbreaker]

That kid is living the life of a star in some crappy Disney sports movie. Every sequel is some improbable promotion.

 

[Kamala]

I'm pretty fired up for Ben, myself.

Is he flying in from Des Moines?

 

[The Dad]

If Coleman Hawkins gets $2M...I'd rather have Jackson for $500K. Worth is relative

Get the fuck out of here with this gay ISU shit.

 

[AZmessDAWG]

Is he flying in from Des Moines?

I’m not sure. How can we find out?

 

[Soda Popinski]

Is he flying in from Des Moines?

Not sure.

 

[tallperson54]

I think he's flying from Des Moines

 

[Saul Berkley]

Think about it. This kid was playing D2 ball just over a year ago. Then become the star of one of the best mid major stories this year. Now, he's off to be a starting PG in the Big Ten. And probably make good money too. Just some wild stuff.

 

[hawkeyealum]

Downgrade at the point for Iowa since we are losing the #3 ranked PG in the portal.

lol how does that sneak thru

 

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

Mulvey appears to have grown to at least eight feet tall.

 

[Hawkstrat]

Josh Sash is a likely candidate to be an assistant. He's following a few portal players.


I would like that very much.

 

[Thanksgiving Dinner]

It's intentional

He's the third point guard McCollum has coached up. Justin Pitts and Trevor Hudgins could have played D1 by the time they were juniors. Hudgins got a two-way contract in the NBA.

 

[Dr_Hawk]

It's intentional

Correct. How else are they supposed to portray excitement for a dog like that.

 

[tallperson54]

TIL Gerry McNamara is the head coach at Siena

 

[Saul Berkley]

TIL Gerry McNamara is the head coach at Siena

Same here and this was his first year. If Fran were fired last year, I imagine he might have returned to Siena.

 

[CamelTones]

The latest episode of Sam Vecenies Game Theory podcast has an extended segment on McCollum and Stirtz. Starts around the 15 minute mark.

Vecenie can’t believe Indiana picked DeVries over McCollum. Thinks he’s a top 10 college coach.

 

[Herbie2]

Herbie is a ritard.

I've always thought Sam Vecenie knew his stuff.

 

[LifelongHawk]

Clearly does his research.

I hate the tie thing already.

 

[CamelTones]

Did they bus in a bunch of kids from Regina?


Also, his wife doesn’t look like she’ll get mad at officials.

 

[Mysterio]

Also, his wife doesn’t look like she’ll eat officials.

 

[BBK]

I hate the tie thing already.

I personally hate ties and will never wear one again, but good for them for supporting our new coach!

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Just heard a pretty good story about how some of this went down. Bottom line is that two schools ended up with the opposite of who they thought they wanted, and Creighton is going to be open soo but not for long.

 

[AZmessDAWG]

Lol

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Hopefully it was better than this story.

Come on man! Have some pride!

 

[Kerky]

I don't mind ties and actually like getting dressed up in a suit occasionally. Now, doing it every day is another story.

 

[OlePeep]

"we gotta get louder than that"

 

[Uff Da]

Fran to Penn?

Pryce visiting Nebrantska

So pretty much the opposite is guaranteed to be what actually happened and Creighton will have McDermott forever.

 

[CamelTones]

Drove by Carver on my way home from work. There were more students standing outside the arena than there were for any home games this season.

 

[douglasbader]

Fran to Penn?

Pryce visiting Nebrantska

Lol, is Hoiberg trying to get fired?

 

[newsbreaker]

You're going to wait a long time for me to complain about Iowa students giving a fuck about MBB, however they're doing it.

 

[BBK]

I like wearing a suit. But not a tie.

I think wearing a tie with a suit makes one look like a dork, but that's just me

Kreepy Kakert

 

[Uli Kunkel]

There's some vileness in today's youth judging by the shirt and tie photos.

 

[tallperson54]

I've spoken to several "casual" fans over the last couple of days and they have been ecstatic that they hired an Iowan. That seems to matter way more than I initially thought, at least anecdotally. Hopefully that excitement carries forward.

 

[Uli Kunkel]

^^and that is why the program is the way it is.

 

[Hawkstrat]

^^and that is why the program is the way it is.

No it isn't.

 

[BBK]

First question:

"Coach, are you going to do something about that hair?"
