This train ain't out of coal just yet!!!!

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Ccmf

 

[The Dad]

Josh and Peyton are NOT going down without a fight.

 

[Stomper15]

Grab a hold of Dix one last time.

 

[douglasbader]

Fartman lives!!!!!!!!!

 

[maxinquaye]

You all are real sicko masochists for wanting to prolong this shit show of a season. End it and be done with Fran. Unless we are back to him staying then, fuck!

I enjoy the Hawks winning, no matter what.

Even though I want Fran gone immediately as soon the horn sounds on his final loss as the Iowa coach (in this tourney, not the NIT or Crown).

Sue me.

 

[Geese]

Can't wait should be a good time

 

[douglasbader]

It's just like @AZmessDAWG predicted before the season, NBA GM's going to have to wait a bit longer to get their hands on Fartman.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

My man @BBK has to be pumped

This isn’t like the pros, where tanking for a better draft pick helps you—there’s no reward for all these losses. Enjoy the season while it lasts -- I will miss Hawk basketball for the next seven months. Watched way more than I should have, burning through my husband/dad screen time allotment in ways that were probably… questionable.

 

[Herbie2]

Iowa +10 tomorrow

 

[HawkBall23]

My man @BBK has to be pumped

Not BBK, but I'd enjoy the fuck out of seeing Iowa kick the Illini right in their net rankings tomorrow night.

The 'Revenge Tour' is just getting started, bitches.

 

[BBK]

I hope the Chinese nuke Champaign and only Bert rises from the ashes holding a burrito in each hand

 

[Lee Beevers]

I’m debating whether I will be taverned up for this matchup on the hardwood. I should probably leave work to think about it either way.

Stop by the metro and see us Lee!

Why don’t you come out to Chicago! We could be the coolest dudes at the bar!! Miller Lites and Malorts as far as the eyes can see.

Denied. I unironically drink Malort and enjoy it.

My buddy brought a bottle to Vegas for March Madness last year so he could continue his tradition of making us drink a shot when the first game tipped each year.

He died in May.

Moral to the story...make people drink Malort and you may die.

Deuce and I were once and you ditched us!!!!

 

[TurdBurgler]

We are a win away from thinking about serious March situations. Got beat soundly by Illinois last time we played, and we are 10 point dogs. Lets win this for Fran guys

I am in transit to the tavern to will my alma mater to victory. I will arrive at 5:25!!!

Tip off at 5:36 pm, FWIW.

Time for a delicious & ice cold Miller Lite!!

Gay. Get yourself a Coors Light and drink a real beer.

I’d rather Francis get fired than drink a Coors.

 

[Monster]

I don't know what a malort is.

Porque no los dos?

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Perfect ending.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

This is what I remember basketball looking like. You can not tell me this is not far more entertaining than the current CBB product

 

[Monster]

Dembeli is so frustrating. So soft. Bad hands. Lazy as fuck.

 

[Creed]

Such a load of shit that they tossed Fran, yet most of these coaches go apeshit with nothing. His second T was from saying, “that’s bullshit.”

Thin-skinned cocksuckers.

 

[Monster]

Sandfort gets a lot of shit but he's been a very good player for Iowa. So much effort all the time. Gutty. And a great kid. Too bad he's going out on a mediocre team.

 

[Monster]

Illinois doubled Iowa's rebound total. Soft.

 

[HawkBall23]

I will give Fran this.

He left his last Iowa game 'in style'.

And shit all over his team in the process. Game was still "in reach" at that point, and his team had the fucking ball at the time!!


Good luck in life Fran, but good riddance.

Wut.

Every game that was "in reach" this season, like this one, ended up exactly the same.

 

[Dr. Zaius]

Sad!

 

[Uli Kunkel]

Woohoo, get the fuck out Fran!

 

[HawkBall23]

Wut.

Every game that was "in reach" this season, like this one, ended up exactly the same.

I know, but he's gone all season with no techs and then gets ran at the most inopportune time for his team, and when its 'win or go home' time of the season.

Like I said. A fitting exit for him.

 

[HiawathaHawk]

Fran got hosed. Time for him to go but that was absolute bullshit.

 

[BBK]

I love Fran and he was a great hire and great for our program.

But of course it's time for a new direction.

I'm srsly hoping for McCollum

 

[LifelongHawk]

I've been saying 50/50 only Beth knows, but her tears during Payton's bawling makes me think he's back

 

[Gushawk]

Fuck this product…it’s weak and irrelevant

 

[Talkin' Goat]

LOL nope!

Me too papi.

I was really impressed in the limited Drake games I've watched.

But....

He's a year removed from D2. Are you going to be able to sell that to the fans when DeVries is available?

 

[BBK]

I want results I give a nays fuck what the fans want homey
