Getting 4 and 5 star recruits and then not playing them is a good way to not get any more 4 or 5 star recruits.

Clark Lea is one of a very few names that are both realistic and move the needle as far as elevating the program, maybe he was able to use back-channel interest from Iowa to add some dollars to his new contract at Vanderbilt.

Amazing. When I was in HS, we had a regular season where we went 1-23. Our only win was against a conference opponent, we split with them in the regular season, they were also 1-23. So of course, we played them in the first round of districts. Sadly our best player missed the bus because he...

I was out of town and couldn't watch or listen to the game until 3:40 or so, didn't check my phone, just hopped in the car for the drive home and put on the radio broadcast. I think there were around 8 minutes left in the first half. Dolph didn't say the score of the game until around 4:05...

Kind of disappointed for him, not so much the draft spot but the org. As discussed extensively by prospect analysts, he really needs to improve his command and fastball shape, but the raw materials are there. Was hoping he would go in the Orioles/Dodgers/Braves/Yankees area of the first round...

Proctor would not have started for Iowa.

It's really kind of a chicken-or-egg question. With an offensive line whose pass pro is suspect, and receivers who cannot get open or create any separation (or even catch the ball in some cases), an average QB will look awful, and a good QB will look mediocre at best. And when this becomes a...

Truth

I think what made it intentional was the thrust of both shoulder and hip into Gabbie. It wasn't really a moving screen, her body largely remained set, EXCEPT for the shoulder/hip check directly into Gabbie. It was closer to being worthy of a disqualification than it was to being a standard foul.

It's good that the replay for out of bounds could show Kris getting tackled, just so the refs could see their incompetence.

Considering the stakes, this loss is worse than Eastern Illinois
