    CC WNBA Day 1 thought

    CC's 1st exhibition game was a fast-paced, up-and-down affair, and even tho CC didn't shoot it well, it was her style of game. Most of last night's game was like watching a bad NBA game. Same old-fashioned pick-and-roll, blah blah blah, with the Fever missing at least 8 shots within 2 ft of...

    Brody Brecht Strikes Out 13 in Iowa Win

    Indeed. And he'll go high in the draft and make serious moola. But as far as his 3-game streak, gotta pump the brakes just a little -- 2 of those outings were against arguably 2 of the worst teams in all of D-1: Rutgers and NWestern. Those guys were chasing LOTS of balls that were out of the...

    BF to Maryland

    I'd heard there was some bad weed circulating on the East Coast. Must be worse than I thought.

    Cooper Still waiting

    As a 49ers fan, I completely agree. You can get a great WR in any draft -- why draft for something you may need 2 years from now when you can draft immediate help at a position of need, plus get a punt return and kickoff return guy in the deal at no extra cost?

    Thanks.

    Transfer portal

    Regarding the D-backfield, I'm not sure Parker is looking for another CB....at the end of spring practice he named several backups who he mentioned had made real progress and were coming on. He talked about the progress of that group more than any other.

    Boom - Deacon Hill

    No. Iowa fans think he's a stud because he played well while leading Michigan to the Big Ten title. Period. He was indeed a 'miss' on Year 1. Will he be a 'miss' on Year 2? Likely, yes. Is Lainez better? Well, certainly running the ball, yes. Passing and running the offense? TBD. Would KF...

    Boom - Deacon Hill

    5 QBs in 5 years? In this day and age, that's pretty minimal. I'm quite sure that # would be one of the lowest in the BTen, from Ohio St. to Nebraska!

    Spencer Lee vs Gilman

    If he wrestles as he did on Saturday, agreed. I haven't watched a lot of freestyle, and after Saturday have a couple questions I hope folks can answer: 1) What are the deciding factors which determine as a result of passivity... a) one wrestler is given the choice of par terre; or b)...

    Spencer Lee vs Gilman

    Yeah, I've watched Brooks a lot over the years, and have generally not been that impressed. But DANG, he was a man possessed on Saturday. Never seen him wrestle so aggressively, and Taylor didn't know what hit him. Didn't see the Burroughs match.

    Spencer Lee vs Gilman

    It was awesome to see these two Iowa legends finally decide it on the mat. Seeded #2 and #4 respectively, Gilman and Lee sailed into the best-of-3 finals, trying to get a chance at an Olympic spot on the US team if they finish in the top 3 at an Olympic qualifier in 3 weeks in Turkey. As...

    Iowa lands Morehead guard from portal

    "Tony was one of our best players, but, he wasn't a big enough difference maker one way or the other...." Perkins literally CARRIED that team at times last season, and was primarily responsible for 3-4 Iowa wins -- at least.

    Is Hill going to be our starting QB

    I actually get the vibe from trying to read between the lines that the staff would LOVE to have someone jump Hill on the depth chart, but when you run an offense that refuses to include a single run play for your QB (other than QB sneaks), any player that stands as big and tall as Hill does in...

    Keegan Murray goes off for 32 & 9

    When I checked in on a few Kings games this past season, Keegan pretty much just stood around behind the 3-pt line and waited for somebody to pass it to him. Last night, he looked like a completely different player -- driving the lane, rebounding, (trying to) play defense vs Curry & Thompson --...

    Fever Make Caitlin Clark No. 1 Pick

    OK, since there was absolutely nothing remotely interesting about CC getting picked #1, a question: which aspect of her game will see the biggest drop-off in the WNBA, her scoring average or assist average? Or will there BE drop-offs?
