Just like IU fans drumming up imaginary scenarios of them landing David Bell.
Lol you’re still falling for that one. Let it go bub

Indiana lost to both NW and Minnesota on the road so jot sure they are the team who has room to talk. Id expect it more from whoever of MSU or Michigan who gets a share of the title.
to answer your question Fran is not going anywhere, when Dr. Tom was run off the year his team reached the Sweet 16 losing to the eventual National Champion UConn.Iowa fans: Realistically, what can you do about Fran here?
Seems he is "in"(is he really though?) on some big time recruits and his roster will have 2 of his kids on it next season, one of which is a major recruit.
So it seems like maybe Iowa is afraid to fire him because his kids are gone and probably some other players transfer which means a complete restart and Iowa is back down to the bottom of the conference for a while.
But it is also very clear he is never going to make Iowa a good program.
Is there support to canning him soon or is he beloved by the fan base?

IU fans were on here after Bell’s official visit clamoring that the gap was closing between IU & Purdue, when in reality he committed to Purdue in November. LmaooooIt's amazing how he wants this to be a real thing. Kinda crazy.

AD Bowlesby sold/conned the people into believing they deserved Championship on a annual basis.
he went out and hired Alfraud who in 8 season had just 3 BT .500 or better season going 1-3 in NCAAT. and 3 NIT's. he then left with one year on his contract.
Barta then hired Lickliter the National COY who avg'd just 5 BT wins per season
Barta then hired Fran who has done this in 9 seasons 6 .500 or better BT seasons 2-3 in the NCAAT and 3 NIT trips with a NIT Championship game appearance.
5 20+ winning season in the last 7 seasons, this year will be Iowa's 4th trip to the NCAAT in the last 6 years.also if you go by ESPN these are the 4* players
PG JR Jordan out side their top 100
SG RSJR Moss outside their top 100
SF FR Wieskamp top 100 #42 by Rivals
PF JR Cook #38 top 100 by Rivals
C SO Garza top 100 4* outside Rivals top 100
CG RSFR Connor top 100 4* outside Rivals top 100
the 19-20 season these will join the team
F FR Patrick top 100 by both ESPN and Rivals
PG FR Troussaint 4* outside ESPN top 100 and unranked 3* by Rivals
by the NY people he is rated the 2nd best player in the state and the #1 PG in the state., just named the NYC Championship MVP and is now leading his team in the State Championship Playoffs
that makes 8 4* players by ESPN.
as for the 20 class 5* Foster is listed as 100% to Iowa by 247 and 100% to Iowa by Rivals future cast [not to be confused with the fancast]
other top prospects
4* top 100 PG Beard out of Chicago
4* top 50 WG 6'6 Jackson out of NY [listed as a SF by one site and SG by the other] Fran is in on multiple top 50 4* recruits, Fran will need to replace 5 SR's and has a lot of minutes up there for grab.
the big money boosters got burned by running off the winningest coach.
Dr. Tom reached the Elite 8
2 Sweet 16 finishes
9-0 1st round NCAAT
like that was not good enough. Bowlseby gifted wrapped McDonald AA Collison for Williams of Kansas and M cDonald AA Henricht followed Collison to Kansas,
Iowa went thru the worst 11 seasons of BB in the history of the program,
now we have idiots wanting to do that again, making the NCAAT is not good enough its FF and National Championships and its fire the coach and get the coach that will recruit and sign nothing but 5* RECRUITS and win Championships [even it means cheating to do it]

I have a new game. Any time gil mentions Dr. Tom, Iowa’s defense, or any heights/weights of current or former Iowa players, we all take a shot.

PainterBig Ten Coach of the year
Pikell at Rutgers or Painter at Purdue?
who really gives a flying F*** IF you read it or not. its the facts and you hate it.
just like most of you can't stand the fact that this season they went from a 4 win BT season to a 10 win season, another + 20 win season and another NCAAT Bid plus they lose just one player in former walk on Baer.
next years team is going to be even better with more depth. this something that you really can't stand knowing that Iowa will be far better than this year,
It eats at you that Iowa wins 10 games, doesn't it?20 conference games now. 10 conference wins isn’t impressive anymore.

Just admit it.

You'll be Happ-y.Its true, hopefully I’m upset that they win on Thursday.
The whole board is gonna be dead
Lol. You’re such a douchebag. Go back and read the comments. Yes, we read the gap had closed. There wasn’t anyone (to my knowledge) that had any realistic thought we were going to land Bell. Every IU fan essentially said they expected Bell to pick Purdue.IU fans were on here after Bell’s official visit clamoring that the gap was closing between IU & Purdue, when in reality he committed to Purdue in November. Lmaoooo
Did you go
Unfortunately not...spent the night watching the UFC fights
2. At the end they did this really creepy thing where they called all the girls on stage and had them all dance to twerking songs and one by one called them back stage using the dancing as some sort of elimination. Like I get it, but it’s creepy as hell.

Actually no one cares because they know Fran won’t do anything in the tournament.
Wouldn’t the “girls” in the crowd for Bone Thugs be all middle aged moms at this point?Saw them last year. Had a blast it I’m a massive Bone Thugs fan. My two complaints would be:
1. Krayzie bone doesn’t sing live. Ever. He lip synced the entire concert. Don’t even think his mic was on.

Didn’t realize tge younger generations had discovered Bone Thugs. I mean, those dudes were big 25 yrs ago. Women in their 20s-30s either weren’t born yet or were in diapers.20s-30s 5s and 6s.

Will u just shut up for one day?????? No one cares about ur level of obsession with Iowa and we don't need to be corrected by ur ass every five mins on this board.just like most of you can't stand the fact that this season they went from a 4 win BT season to a 10 win season, another + 20 win season and another NCAAT Bid plus they lose just one player in former walk on Baer.

Iowa gets spanked at home WITH Garza by Rutgers and at Ohio St (where Purdue won by double digits with Wesson) but you're right, Purdue would probably lose at Iowa.Iowa was with out Garza and like you said it WAS ON YOUR COURT.
Nope, not gonna do it. I want to live to see another day.I have a new game. Any time gil mentions Dr. Tom, Iowa’s defense, or any heights/weights of current or former Iowa players, we all take a shot.
I was at the Maryland game tonight and we destroyed a previously undefeated Marshall. I know Marshall is no top 25 team but I did not read one complimentary comment on the Terps in the entire thread. We have a solid starting five. Everything in this thread is about Michigan, Michigan State and Indiana and the rest of the Big Ten stinks. Maryland has been treated like Rutgers ever since we came into this mid-western conference. Sucks we have to play Virginia on Wednesday but I think every Big Ten team will have trouble winning at College Park this year. You'll see.
