**2026-2027 Iowa Basketball Season Thread**

[The Dad]

I guess we’ll find out.

As a fan of the Iowa Hawkeyes with a sense of history, I feel like we already have.

Which is why I FULLY REJECT NEPOTISM IN ALL ITS FORMS!!!

Definition of RATT

For sure. But at least it’s not assuming he’s gonna suck just because.

Yes let’s make up our mind before actually watching him play.

 

[The Dad]

“Just because” every single other college coach thought he did too.

 

[Lee Beevers]

At what point do the people who laughed at Waukee Wade for saying McCollum is going to play start to come forward with apologies?

Never. The next step is to double down, call him a retard again, and if that fails tell him that you fucked his mother/wife.

 

[Shawneemicks]

Yes let’s make up our mind before actually watching him play.

Amen brother

 

[The Dad]

Even if this little fucker turns out to be the second coming of Steve Nash, I’d prefer he did it at a program where his dad wasn’t the HC.

It’s amazing how many times some of you fuckers need to see it to learn….

 

[rodg12]

I’m mad. Not sure what about but I’m mad

Arms crossed?

You'd reject Steve Nash?

Of course. You’ve always been incredibly jealous of Nash’s hair.

 

[Thomas Wolsey]

I am with The Dad. He had better not be getting a lot of minutes. I was forced to watch Pat not guard or rebound way too much. I also watched Deacon Hill and Spencer Petras quarterback our offense.

Which one of those played as well as Steve Nash?

 

[L. Wade Childress]

think he got injured in january but yes little pt before the injury

he also got injured almost as soon as he got on campus. The foot was later.

 

[The Dad]

Which one of those played as well as Steve Nash?

Lol. I feel like you’re missing the point, boss man.

And the other ones hailing a taxi cab!

 

[Monster]

Words have meaning, DAD.

What if Peyton McCollum played like Sam Hoiberg?

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Words have meaning, DAD.

What if Peyton McCollum played like Sam Hoiberg?

sam hoiberg sucked.

And it’s not always about how good a player is. It’s about whether or not there was someone better that could’ve been playing.

 

[AZmessDAWG]

Can’t wait to have this conversation for 4 years.

 

[The Dad]

Can’t wait to have this conversation for 4 years.

Which is WHY I REJECT NEPOTI….fuck it…..

 

[Shawneemicks]

Can’t wait to have this conversation for 4 years.

Well it’s good you don’t have to wait!

 

[AZmessDAWG]

Which is WHY I REJECT NEPOTI….fuck it…..

I finally came to the realization you might be a miserable cunt.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Can’t wait to have this conversation for 4 years.

If only there were an easy way to avoid that

 

[L. Wade Childress]

I don’t think thatvplaying a d3 player in the guard rotation on a team that desperately needs guards is a crazy concern.

 

[AZmessDAWG]

If only there were an easy way to avoid that

Well he’s gonna play. So I guess cry about it?

 

[The Dad]

I finally came to the realization you might be a miserable cunt.

Oh buddy, you’ve always known.

I guess we’ll find out! Wait and see!! He might be just fine!! Coach on the floor. Does all the little things.

 

[Monster]

sam hoiberg sucked.

That's dumb.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

That's dumb.

Sounds like a coach who always made sure their kids were surrounded by the best players so they could justify the playing time. “We are winning!”

Since we are having this conversation, here is my super interesting thoughts....

- It was just an exhibition
- With that said, the comments after on why Thompson and Harris didn't play were shocking
- Playing his freshman son and tarded Joey more minutes than two highly sought after 4* players is alarming given the comments
- If Thompson has been in his program over a year and Harris has been for months and both are highly rated 4* players then that's a troubling sign that A) McCollum missed on his evaluation or B) McCollum has done a really shitty job coaching and motivating his players.
- Same but lesser thing with Cam ManYOWWWW. If you have to bench your 4th year multi-year starter and then call him out in the media to motivate him to be a leader after this long, another yikes on your ability as a coach and staff so far.
- If for whatever reason you did mis-evaluate Thompson and Harris so badly that you're playing the equivalent of 2 walk-on level players including a nepo-baby son, then you might have just as well brought back Tavion Banks.

I hope this is all just early season exhibition game nonsense, but if McCollum thinks he's going to be a top level Big Ten team and get back to the Elite 8 or better and is planning on doing it with his nepo-baby and Joey the Tard, then he spent all offseason sniffing his own farts and press clippings.

 

[AZmessDAWG]

Lol

 

[AZmessDAWG]

Great I’m sure Desmond King is gonna lead us to the Rose Bowl.

too early to panic dug

 

[douglasbader]

Lol

You go right ahead and compare Peyton McCollum to Desmond King and let me know how that works out.

 

[AZmessDAWG]

I knew that would be your takeaway.

I’m struggling to think of anything that could hurt team motivation or effort coming off such a successful previous season.

oh wait, I thought of something.

Weed?

 

[AZmessDAWG]

This is going to be a miserable season.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

I try to hammer 3 kites before Lil Mac checks in.

 

[douglasbader]

Yep, already hit about the highest high that a program like Iowa can hit right off the bat, so naturally it's likely going to be a lesser season to begin with.

Now throw in (likely) missing on the 5* PG you have been chasing and then watching the 4* players you have recruited sit and rot on the bench while Super Joey and NepoBaby King run around taking minutes and the odds are it's not going to be a very enjoyable season.
