    Hawkeye Hoops Advances in NIT

    I never thought it was possible that a team from Iowa could win the national championship in football or basketball. But lo and behold, the Iowa women almost did it last year (national runner-up) and Iowa State has a legitimate chance this year.

    compare 2024 to 2023

    Yes, I think it is a better overall team, particularly if Marshall is shooting well and Molly Davis can come off the bench as a spark plug (I want Affolter starting).

    Sports Gambling Update

    Really, really troubling. Noah Shannon’s betting was so minor. That something so trivial in nature could result in such a horrible result for an outstanding young man really takes my breath away. It is truly horrific.

    Good read

    Caitlin Clark has to be on the Mount Rushmore of the best athletes ever to wear the Black and Gold.

    Calling it right now - Iowa beats NU on Friday night

    Bets that KF hangs it up

    He won't retire anytime soon. He still has Phil Parker and a good defense coming back.
