And the team with the better players usually wins more. Fran needs to get or develop better talent and win more, regardless of venue. THAT'S how sports work.
You ran the wrong way with this one. Nowhere in the OG post do I blame the men’s basketball program’s mediocrity on Carver. But you’re right about MG pre-CC. I did not give that enough respect. That was good shit. This all can be true and Carver can still have the curb appeal of a mini-mall.
My bad, but "plays in a hole in the ground near the majestic dental lot." from the OG post sounded like you were attributing some to the venue. Kinnick is near many lots so not sure what we are going for. I like Carver, lot of great memz of electric crowds but it was always driven by the teams.
Remember my first visit to Carver. I think it was 1983. My dad took my brother and I to the Big Ten wrestling tournament. I think it was the first big event Carver hosted. I remember thinking the Banachs were super heroes, like a pair of Things. The vastness when you enter does work, but the steps.
Do not disagree. Carver is symbolic, in the aesthetic sense. It is not the reason. Every Iowa basketball coach since Raveling has needed to recruit better talent.
Lol, forgotten by who? The point is there were sell outs before Clark, electric crowds at Carver before Clark. Bluder had a 67.5% winning percentage before Clark. Not arguing whether Clark took it to another stratosphere, but Carver isn't the problem.
