  • Interesting article out of Ames today

    Pretty one-sided but enough to fire up some locals one would assume.

        Re: Interesting article out of Ames today

        kind of curious about the specifics with that Diamond Head hotel situation that the article featured a couple times.

        They say the team had to camp out for "hours" in the hotel ballroom b/c ISU didn't want to pay for an extra night of rooms.

        If it was something like 2 hours, frankly, I don't see why it would be that big of a deal. It's not worth spending thousands of dollars to get hotel rooms that you're only going to be using for a couple hours.

        Now if it was something like 10 hours, that's a bit different.

          LOL at all of that, I don't know where to begin mocking that piece.

          Looks and reads like a vindictive and petty smear campaign. Both sides of this should be utterly embarrassed.

            Thats whats funny about it. If they took regular commercial flights off the island, which seems likely, those flights typically leave from Hawaii at 10 or 11 PM. Which means a travel party of 50 people or whatever they had would have to be at the airport by, what, 8 o clock?

            lol, those poor souls were without a hotel room for like 3 or 4 hours. If they cant find a place to relax in Honolulu for a few hrs other than a freaking hotel room, those people are more than welcome to go purchase a $500 room for 4 hours on their own dime.

              I think its the beginning of getting Pollard out of there by enough influential donors. There have always been rumors that Leath has wanted his own guy, and this story plus the decisions that are going to have to be made after they go 2-10 in football again, give Leath the out.

              My guess is Leath demands that Pollard fire Rhodes, Pollard refuses because he and CPR are drinking buddies, and Leath fires them both.

                Maybe with COA the next time they could pool their money and extend the rooms.😀

                  Yeah, the hotel part is being overblown. I'm assuming the team checked out of their hotel at 10 or 11am and then just had to wait a few hours for their flight.

                    This is what I'm thinking too.

                      Agreed, neither here nor there. I would think Paul Rhoades days are numbered. ISU would need at least three Big 12 wins to save him.

                        Pollard just said check out was at noon and the flight was at 6pm.
                        They saved $25,000 for not checking back into their rooms for 3 hours.
                        That portion of the article was way overblown.

                          Pollard is on KXNO right now and he sounds very defensive. Most people would be in this situation but he sounds all excited about it and shouldn't be acting this way. There seems to be some truth to this since he has multiple sources for the article. Some of the points are overblown but when you have multiple situations like he has in the article, it sounds like they were nickel and diming a little and to the benefit of the administration.

                          They just said Hoiberg is coming on later.

                            Hoiberg took JP's side.
                            Travis Hines has major egg on his face.
                            I wonder if those unnamed sources in that article were from sour assistants? (Matt A and Cornell Mann)

                              $25,000 for 14 rooms and a suite? Bush league...
