our basketball team here at iowa state, hasn't been something to brag about lately. with four straight losing seasons and players leaving like the school has cooties, there hasn't been a real upside to the program. i mean it's no u of i, but it's not that good either. to have your coach leave as well, well that's just the cherry on top. luckily, iowa state has a.d. jamie pollard to make poor decisions. within hours of greg mcdermott confirming he's leaving isu, jp called the living legend of iowa state, ames high school, and ames, iowa itself, Fred Hoiberg. legends deserve capitalization.
he was rumored to be the next head coach, as i will tell you yes, he is the next head coach because i went to the press conference this morning. i was a little upset with jp because he took no time thinking this over. he immediately called "the mayor" and offered the job. fred has zero coaching experience, but has played for great nba coaches for 10 years. this is definitely nothing against fred, who is one of my favorite isu players, but i wasn't thrilled about this hire. thanks jamie pollard. after attending the press conference today though, i was sold. completely 100% support of our newest head coach Fred "The Mayor" Hoiberg. everything he said got me pumped up for next season. i was so excited. but i still don't approve of jamie pollard.
before the conference, i spoke with isaac about the hire. i wasn't too sure about it. matt and i got a great spot right in front of the jacobson building. started things off nicely. the place was pleasantly crowded and there was a huge applause for fred when he came out. i almost got goosebumps from his speech as i listened intently to his every word. it was so exciting.afterwords i got a cool picture of jack trice, got to speak with coach v and coach downs, talked to mrs. hoiberg, fred's mom, or karen, cuz we're cool like that. she gave me a hug. also met up with AA. austen arnaud. nbd. led us around the football locker room. chatted it up nbd. drank some football team powerade. nbd. it seems to have extra hydration. i don't know, but it was good. then headed back to campus and to class. it was a good day.
i am thoroughly excited for the 2010-2011 iowa state basketball season. led by the one and only Fred Hoiberg. i am really excited to see what he is going to bring to the table and let's bring back Hilton Magic!
Go Cyclones!
I'M BOOSTIN' RIGHT NOW! GIMME SOME VIDEOS!
ok i love how u commented on the football powerade being better hydrating than regular powerade haha.
