what a sell out

If only Eustachy would follow suit and quickly. That dude makes me want to puke. He is such a whiner. His team would mug the pokes and he'd sit there smirking and then his punk would get called for a foul and he'd blow a gasket. Will not miss him if he leaves.

And Iowa fans are laughing at NM fans saying we told us so, and you're next UCLA.
Get used to good w-l records then disappointing finishes at the end of the season

Iowa fans are not being very honest in their assessments. Who would you rather be over the last 6 years? UNM or Iowa. UNM under Alford has been to the NCAA 3 times, the NIT 3 times, with 4 conference titles and a NCAA tourney win.


Iowa has made the postseason only twice during that time frame, both times in the NIT. They also have 4 losing seasons and a 18-17 season. Only one 20 win season during that time frame. During Alford's tenure they had 7 straight winning seasons, 3 NCAA tourney appearances, 3 NIT appearances, and a NCAA tourney win.

Of course, Alford's results at Iowa and UNM would be flatly unacceptable at UCLA, so I can understand some UCLA fans being critical of the hire.

I would rather be neither, because it would mean that my school never gainfully employed a slimy prick like Alford. He's a first-class douchenozzle.
