Some ISU fans are probably tired of hearing Mac talk about UNI. Our two basketball programs are kind of tied to one another now in a way we aren't really used to. I don't mind it.

I don't think anyone should have expected anything different. We knew/know that they are going to continuously compare UNI and ISU all season long, and heck for seasons to come, because McDermott used to coach at UNI he took us from a small no named school in some Mid Major Conference to national recognition.Originally posted by UNIpanther99 View Post
I do think that once the conference season starts we won't see as much reference to coach Mac. The thing that really gets my mind wandering is if coach Mac is still Texting/calling UNI Players. I heard or maybe read somewhere that Coach Mac had been in Contact with Coleman and Stout in the weeks leading up to the game. Maybe I'm mistaken and it was coach Jacobson that he was texting/calling but if he is calling our players I find that kind of weird.The Original PURPLE Wig Guy........ GO PANTHERS

I agree
I am also tired of references about Crawford, Jacobson, and Little. They were great players, but they are gone. Talk about the guys that are currently playing.Comment

one of the ESPN articles mentioned Mac texting/etc. Jake and vice-versa somewhat frequently.
I hadn't heard anything about him contacting players, which would be weird.Comment

Well Little is not gone. He's sitting on the UNI bench now.Originally posted by NEIOWABB View Post
Good point as I just saw Mac talking about UNI again in the paper last night. It will die down as we get into conference season and the opponents are different.Originally posted by UNIpanther99 View PostIf computers ruled college basketball the way they do football, we'd have skipped all this March Madness monotony and just waited a month for the Kansas-Kentucky title game.

Remember, they (Mac and Jake) are best friends! If they want to text each other, then so be it...if they want to have sleep-overs and cuddle in Superman Underoos then that's their business, not ours.

Enough of the lovefest. It's time that the umbilical cord gets severed.Originally posted by bcrawf View PostComment

Let them do what they want and say what they want in regards to each other. They're best friends. Leave 'em alone.
Sorry, but this is getting old.
"...the Northern Iowa men's basketball team reached the ultimate highs before hitting a devastating low. Unexpected success, followed by unimaginable failure. And they owned it -- all of it -- for the world to see. Like men. Like leaders. Like champions -- in a way no tournament bracket could ever define."Comment

BaP is right on the money with this one. Leave both of them alone. As long as Jake puts a class act on the floor that's competitive in the MVC and fighting for a post season tournament spot, then leave him alone.Comment

Coach Jake is a class act all around. I think, because he is sooo nice, he just doesn't want to take all the credit just yet. This is his first HEAD coaching job. I've always thought that Coach Jake was more friendly than Coach Mac anyways. So this doesn't surprise me at all that he is letting Mac have some of the credit. That's just the kind of guy he is.Comment
