Iowa State literally thinks they're a blue blood inside their ****** Ames bubble
Iowa at 1 elite 8 every 39 years and having 2 in that time frame is still a higher standard than the clones and 1 more than isu has ever accomplished. ISU has only made the sweet 16 8 times ever and has a paltry is 1-7 record.
So minus 2000 every season has been a disappointment by your standards. Gotcha…. And pull your head out of your @SS with the lame Iowa is just excited to make the tourney which you know is such a BS claim. You as well as every knows that’s not the case and why Fran was fired cause he couldn’t make the 2nd weekend.
Where did you get “blue blood”, sport? I merely pointed out that the divide between programs is similar to the Grand Canyon.Iowa State literally thinks they're a blue blood inside their ****** Ames bubble
We just made the elite 8. And once again while you had a really nice regular season you got your *** kicked by Tennessee who then lost to Michigan by 50.
The most glaring difference between the programs is that ISU loses a 1st team AA and still makes the S16, and if Iowa loses their honorable mention AA they don’t make the tournament.
We know at this point TJ’s ceiling at ISU is the S16. We know Ben got Iowa to the E8 in year 1 with what will likely be his least talented roster top to bottom.
At any rate, I have a feeling this is TJs last year at ISU anyways before he reaches the same conclusion Campbell did. You can only do so much in this environment at ISU.
You obviously aren’t the sharpest tool since he just signed a 10 year extension at $6M per
Ahhhh. An argument based on assumptions.
There is literally no way that this statement can be supported with facts. It's a smoke screen that usually works well on those who are easily led astray and most often used by those who lack the ability to think critically.
Otherwise, they would refrain from making such a feeble argument.
Derp…

Jesus Christ, dude. Is your life that pathetic that you have to troll an Iowa message board to get validation?
No one cares about you or who your team is. Seriously. You are not relevant.
Get a life or find a therapist.
Not only that it makes no sense. Comparing them losing their player for 2 games and somehow equating loss of stirtz to not making the tournament. Talk about an apples to oranges comparison. Like are we talking stirtz only missing 2 games same as Jefferson, entire season? Can’t even specify in his whiny ramblings. Cause all isu had to do was beat one mediocre team and then got stomped game after without. Sure if he missed regular season or multiple games way they looked vs Tenn they wouldn’t have been a 2 seed. Even in his pathetic feeble attempt to bash Iowa it fails. As for stirtz funny how he forgets an 0-9 effort by him for 3 vs FL and we still knock off a 1 seed.

Stirtz is a big loss but he’s not irreplaceable imo. The only game he really carried the team in the tournament was ironically the Illinois game. There were plenty of games this season where I wasn’t seeing all the NBA glaze for him. He’s a really good player but he’s not irreplaceable imo.
With all those talented blue chippers TJO pulls in, surely he's advanced further in the tournament Ben McCollum ever has.
Agreed - they will need to replace his offensive production for sure, but I also recall the regular season Illinois game where Iowa made a pretty good run and got back into the game with Stirtz on the bench. I forget, but I assume he was in foul trouble or something.
How so? Iowa owns Iowa State in pretty much every metric there is in mens hoops and Iowa is coming off an elite 8 appearance. You also had a statue erected for a .500 coach inside Hilton Coliseum, nice expectations for the program.
Clown boy walked right into that one..….definitely not the brightest bulb in the chandelier.Derp…

They’re called injuries, sport.
Just shut your mouth. You almost lost at home with an Iowa state team that was suppose to make the final 4 lmao
you we’re losing the majority of the game and got lucky to even win!
A billboard should be erected in IC to celebrate those near misses. LOL!Just shut your mouth. You almost lost at home with an Iowa state team that was suppose to make the final 4 lmao

Ben has demonstrated he is a great coach that can do "more with less" than other coaches. I can't wait to see what he does with this 7 3' kid. TJO has a good program ,a great venue and a deep pocket sugar daddy. But Ben will compete.
Really?
I love Me some Ben McCollom & the Iowa success in year #1 but this is getting silly.
To play DA, he took a D2 team to the round of 32 and Drake to the Elite 8.
I'd love to hear your break down of the talent similarities between Iowa and Florida
Your post on March 13:
Zona is a 3.5 fav today so let’s see what happens. I believe FL is the team to beat imo and it is no coincidence they are the defending champs
Uhhhh…you really have no idea about McCollum’s track record? None?
Because it goes well beyond year one of his Iowa tenure. Winning four NCAA tournament games in two years with a roster of mid-major talent is pretty compelling in and of itself. Factor in McCollum has won four national titles at the DII level and I would argue his resume speaks for itself. And, yes, winning 4 national titles at any level of college basketball is a tremendous accomplishment.
Like with any program, there will be down years. But it is about as certain as anything in sports can be certain that McCollum will build a program at Iowa that will be better than anything we’ve seen in over 30 years.
When you grow up on the mean streets of Cowturd, Iowa, you call people "sport" a lot.
