Fred Hoiberg hired as ISU's new coach!

Re: Fred Hoiberg hired as ISU's new coach!

Oh Newsy, it is good to see that you can point your Hawk fan agenda at an unsuspecting Iowa State.

At least we get to wait until football season before you subject us to this nonsense.

Cydave, it is pretty obvious that Mac had destroyed the program.....They are going to be terrible next year. So you remove the tumor that is Mac, and start fresh.

Loved Freddie when he played. A real gentleman. But the most important thing that he will do, and a big reason he was hired was to put butts in seats.

Hoiberg was a very heady player, and was respected by his peers. He knows the game. But can he do all of the things that a coach needs to do to be successful? If the answer is yes, then it is THE perfect hire. If it's no, then Iowa State will be looking to fill an AD's position as well.

There were rumors that Pollard was looking to move on, and there were opportunities that he was going to pursue. That was why he supported Mac the mediocre, because he wasn't going to be there much longer anyway. It will be interesting to see if this is still the case.

Whatever the case, Pollard was damn lucky that the AD at Creighton is obviously impaired (to say the least). He took that steaming pile of McDermott off of his hands, and paid for the right to do it.

If the rumors are true, and people like Gregory expressed interest, the hire can be questioned. It is definitely a high risk/high reward situation.

Oh, that's it? Well that should be as easy as "just win."

The folks in Ames should be a bit nervous about the lack of coaching experience. I won't let those crazy broads at Capri College touch my hair, but even they have more experience doing what they're doing than ol Farmer Fred does!

Hilton will be packed next year, everyone in Ames will revel in their former glory, they'll get their heads beat in, and Pollard will have accomplished the only thing he cares about - butts in seats.

Here, I'll give you a link to how you've embarrassed yourself: http://www.panthernation.com/showthread.php?t=32420

You're bad at this. "Is that you biggest achievement in life?" Where did I say this was the biggest achievement in my life? Hell, it's not the most important thing I'm doing right now. Still, if this were prison, you'd be walking around with a finger in my pocket. Then I'd trade you for smokes.

Umm yes, that's it. He needs good assistants.. Or should he just spring for a some magical fortune telling machine?

And yes, we will be bad next year. I never said we wouldn't be. If Fred sniffs .500 he is a genius.

I like how you make fun of ISU because of its agricultural college, by calling us farmers, etc.. UNI is just 1.5 hours NE of ISU!! It's not like UNI is some sweet party college in Florida.

Again, you compare this to prison?? And if it were prison I'd be your *****? Jeez, you are tough. Everybody bow down to Newsbreaker!!! He's so mean and nasty that he can make you his ***** over the internet! You are soo much greater than anybody else on here and so much tougher than everybody in real life.. Holy cow, look out!!!
And you would like it in prison, I bet you would enjoy sticking your thing in another man's butt. Is that all you think about?
You talk like you've been there already. I bet you loved having some other guy walk around with his finger in your pocket, knowing that you two are just minutes away from making homosexual love...

"high risk/high reward"

I hear this a lot about Hoiberg. The risk part is obvious, but what's the potential upside? How is his potential reward greater than a coach who actually has experience?

I couldn't agree more.

I just went to https://www.superawesomecollegebaske...greatrecruiter and it turns out you are right. They're practically giving those guys away, especially if you can log into the "NBA Contacts" section.

I hope after he hires them he has one of these handy:



Now we're into the gay jokes. Classy.

You just don't get it. He has NBA contacts.

Hoiberg likely won't be heading to greener pastures. If he wins, he is one of those guys that will likely be in Ames for the long hall. It would also be awesome to have a Cyclone Legend coaching MBB.
If we had hired Gillispie, once he had a winning year or two, he would have been gone and left us to start over, yet again.

You're the one who started it with the prison joke, and if it wasn't meant to be gay, then show me a coed prison. Classy.

It wasn't a gay joke, it was a b---h joke. As in you are mine.

It's interesting you immediately went to the gay angle though. It's well documented on this board that I barely see gay people as citizens and wish to strip them of their very humanity, but I'm offended that you apparently think calling someone "gay" is a slam of some kind. This is an ugly side of you and I for one am very disappointed.

That *is* a lot of up-side. Awesome.

Well, not only do I think of Bit*h when other men are having sex with other men in prison, but I also think Gay. Apparently, you don't though, maybe its more natural to you?
I'm not judging you at all.. So, its ok if you don't want to come out to PantherNation.
And go ahead and point out to me the exact sentence where I said "gay" was a slam of some kind.

It's clear you're fixated on being gay. I don't think that makes you a bad person, despite the fact I think it means you should have no rights.

Now if you want to make this a "who's gayer" contest, one of us went to a school that was almost 60% female, and another went to a school that once heard of a female. You've already made it clear that as soon as you think of a predominantly male situation your can't keep your eyes above belt level. I'm sure that didn't happen in your years at the Iowa State Boys School, however.

Well, you never actually told me where you went to school.
While UNI has a greater female:male ratio, ISU still has more total females.
And I'm not even getting into an argument of UNI vs ISU. Both schools are good for their respective "colleges/programs".

And I'm still waiting for you to show me where I was slamming somebody by saying gay...

Re: Fred Hoiberg hired as ISU's new coach!

I went to UNI. You might have guessed that because I'm a UNI fan on a UNI message board. It would be a safe assumption, in any case. I also attended a NBA game once. In fact, I had season tickets. I tell High School kids that and they'll do just about anything I tell them after that.

Actually, no I didn't assume that. Believe it or not, some fans of schools didn't actually go to that school... (i.e. Iowa). I didn't know this board was also a list of UNI alums...
And you just won't let this NBA thing go, will you??? Find some new material please to make fun of me with.
And yes, I'm still waiting for that post where I apparently used the word Gay, while slamming somebody...
If you can't find it, then stop calling people out for something they didn't do.
