Seems kind of unrealistic to never lose to a bad team on the road. Which is the worse loss Wisconsin at Rutgers or Iowa at Northwestern. How about ISU at Texas Tech?

If you don't like 4 games in 8 days why would you want 5 games in 9 days if it is played on March 10th IL - 3/8 @IU - 3/10 BTT - 3/14, 3/15, 3/16 And if we don't finish in top four it could turn into 6 games in 9 days.

If they both sign the scholarship distribution next year would be 3 seniors (White, Oleshani, Oglesby) 5 juniors (Woody, Uthoff, Gesell, Clemmons, Atwood) 3 sophs (Jok, Dickerson, Meyer) 2 frosh (Uhl, Ellingson) To fully balance out I could see them going for a JUCO again in a couple of...

At 240 he is big enough to be an every down DE. Michigan State's DE this year are -- SHILIQUE CALHOUN (6-4, 250, So.) -- Finalist for DE of the Year MARCUS RUSH (6-2, 245, Jr.) So if you don't have to be 270 or 280 to play every down on the top ranked defense in college football, why...

Umm.. He is the football coach at Iowa City Regina which has won state titles each of the last 3 years. So yeah he may be trying to get into coaching.

Week 1 - Miami, FL

He signed his picture (he wore 32 last year) on the B10 Road Show Bus.

You are right it is not every tee shot, but it does not mean that the holes selected are not ones where some players may hit 3 woods instead of drivers. Here is exactly how driving distance is established -- "The average number of yards per measured drive. These drives are measured on two...

Rudock did have great receivers - but it was not like the defenses he played against had no talent. Most nights both the cornerbacks on the other teams are D-1 recruits so he still had to make good decisions and make accurate throws. Most of his touchdown passes were thrown down field it was...

Lebron missed a shot. But you seem to forget that Jordan missed shots late in games as well. Here is a quote from Jordan to prove my point. "I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed...

I think that could be Fran's biggest challenge this year -- keeping team chemistry right if guys who have been in the program a few years minutes/roles are decreased.

Fran has been known to use the media to deliver messages to players. In this case he may have been overstating is "confidence" in Oglesby in an attempt to pump the kid up. I don't doubt Oglesby can shoot the 3 in practice or shooting drills but often that is significantly different that in games.

I believe 11 guys are all going to be battling for minutes. The only guy I see as not being firmly in the mix for significant (10+) minutes per game is Meyer. Fran could face an interesting situation between loyalty to the guys that started the turn around (Basabe, McCabe, and Oglesby...

If he needed a 3 point shooter what were Fran's other options last year? He already had Gesell and Marble on the court typically with White and McCabe. Who else was he going to go to? Clemmons was probably his only other option. So we don't know how much was "Fran's belief in him" and how...

And shot over 90% from the foul line. Iowa lost several late leads last season because of missed foul shots.
