    Is there apathy with Iowa basketball with lots of fans?

    Big reason for lack of traffic on this board (beyond team's lack of success) is making a guy like Fryowa an admin. Hes an asshole who treats people like crap and thinks he's better than everyone else on here. Have talked to many fellow Hawk fans who stopped frequenting this board because of him.

    Ohio St beat Ill.

    OSU did make their last 9 FT. But they were 1-6 in the 1:45 right before that, with a turnover. That stretch is the only reason the game got tight in the final minute.

    McCabe tweet - rips Iowa fans

    A couple things: *Social Media is not the evil, it is the people that are evil. People do and say mean things, always have, always will....social media is just the current avenue. *This is an unfortunate situation from both ends. People tweeting at McCabe and him responding back. Everyone...

    "If in doubt, throw him out"

    I would love to have a conversation with the people who thought this slogan was a good idea. In a game that keeps getting faster and faster, officials are having a harder and harder time keeping up and do a decent job of officiating. So we put more on their plate with this judgement on...

    IL High School Basketball

    A couple years ago Chicago Perspectives Charter went 8-15, and 6-19. Nothing much to write home about, other than it was the junior & senior season of Anthony Davis. Within the next year and half Davis went to Kentucky, was named National Freshman of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year...

    Quarterback Draw

    When a team goes empty (no backs) against the Hawks, Iowa has a tendency to have 4 in the box. Automatic check for QB draw for most teams. Its 5 OL on 4 DL...hard to win that consistently. On the long TD, we had 4 DL and Morris in the box. Even that puts us even up in the box, if all 5 OL...

    Iowa Nike Pro Combat Gear

    I think the combat uniform as a "recruiting tool" is overrated. I think a whole lot more kids go to Oregon because they now win, than because of their colors or jerseys. I think this idea gets said over and over by ESPN guys and people in the media until people start to believe it. I think...

    Who would want to see Iowa play Notre Dame?

    Iowa did not play Notre Dame in 1963, so to say the series was discontinued after the 1963 series is wrong. Especially when you consider Iowa played Notre Dame in 1964, 1967 and 1968.

    Playoff/Iowa

    My opinion: If the way the NCAA has done their football was the best way, some other league would have tried to copy their system. None have, not the NFL, not other colleges, not any high schools. Currently a team is crowned with a national title on who they "think" is the best. Someone...

    Riley Reiff not concerned about Health

    24 concussions for OL really means 4.8 per offensive lineman on the field since there are five OL playing. That would put them down the list a little.
