Boy would I love to see Hoiberg coaching basketball at Iowa.

Tomorrow wouldn't be soon enough.

1. That was a brutal loss.

Does Hoiberg know how to use timeouts? Fran doesn't.

[rurallib]

2. Based on Hoiberg's five very successful years at ISU

I would say yes. Even if he doesn't he's worth a try.

[jayschool2013]

3. Yep

And Fred is a native of Lincoln, so he has that extra spark.

4. Native of Lincoln? I always thought he was born and raised in Ames

Sure remember him playing for Ames in high school.

5. Born in Lincoln

Moved to Iowa very early in life. Ames HS. Yep.

6. just looked that up - yep - born in Lincoln

But he would look good in gold and black!

8. I agree

Fran has always bugged me. Kind of like Bo Pelini. Except Bo didn't have athletically talented children.

9. did you know McCaffrey signed a 5 year extension last December?

Found that out last March when Was looking to see if his contract might be up soon.

It was done in secret and was not announced to the press until someone caught wind of it.

10. SMDH. NFM

7. Just like Gerald Ford

We Nebraskans don't have a lot of famous fellow natives, so we claim who we can, even if they left as infants.

If you've ever been to the Gerald R. Ford Birthplace in Omaha, you'll know. I think Ford (Leslie King at birth) might have been 48 hours old when he left Omaha, but we get to claim him!
