[Herky] Men's BB

[Scott Werling]

I hear ya, June.
Since the meltdown that was Lickliter, I cannot watch an entire game.  Sure if they have a hot night I may watch.  But playing the exhibition season and non-conference teams like iwo Jima Junior College,  and Little Sisters of the Poor, they go play some one decent and get their collective asses handed to them.
When is this trend going to stop.
Originally I felt Fran was a huge upgrade in coaching.  Now it seems he can recruit much better talent but I question his bench coaching ability.  He can get a T with the best of them, but it doesn’t seem to help.
What is the answer?  He’s in his 6th year?  This are his players, but even the fundamentals seem lacking.

I was a huge BB fan most of my life.  In the 70’s when I lived in Iowa City I went to all the home games and some road games.  I met many of the Hawkeyes from the 70’s because my aunt had them over to her house often.  In the 80’s I lived in Michigan and would travel to East Lansing and Ann Arbor when the Hawks played there.  I watched all the games through the 90’s up into the 2000’s.  However during the latter Alford years, and the Lickliter years I started to lose interest.  Now I rarely watch games; if Iowa is on TV I will turn to the channel to check on the score but I never watch a game all the way through.  I will watch the NCAA tournament, but that’s about it.  I can’t believe how I’ve changed.  I used to say “in football season, that is my favorite sport, but in BB season I like that the best”.  I’m kinda disappointed in myself considering what a huge BB fan I used to be.   I wish I could get back that BB passion again.
