    Game Preview: Iowa-LSU Elite Eight

    thank God this game is on ESPN, the last game on ABC (I am a Dish customer) was SD and in this day and age that is simply unacceptable. Every game I have watched recently on one of the big 3 networks has been in SD. Get with the program and the times! Big games need to be HD or better...

    Patrick McCaffery Enters Transfer Portal

    Classy post BigD, no doomsday about the whole family up and leaving. As the parent of two adult children, anyone who thinks you can get them to do what you think they should is living in a fantasy world. There is nothing easy about living in a fishbowl like Hawkeye athletics and coaching. A...

    Total BS

    This guy Simmons sounds like a total conspiracy theorist that is moaning about the Hawks for what seem like political reasons, aka the claim that TFG made about CC and the Super Bowl and Taylor Swift. And it seems that she and Kelce are no longer, I am sure there will be a song about celebrity...

    details of men's game vs. Utah tomorrow night

    This wasn't all that easy to find, so to save the rest of Hawk fans from the hassle, the game tomorrow night is at 8 p. m. CDT on ESPN2. Go Hawks!!!!

    The Good News Coming Out of the Beatdown

    The last few games PM hasn't looked all that engaged, hope this doesn't mean a repeat of last year's anxiety episode, but in all fairness no one looked all that engaged in Ames.

    Where is everyone?

    Less than 2 hours from tipoff in one of the biggest rivalries of all time, and total crickets on this forum. How about this, who remembers how many points Lafester scored on the Hawks back in the 80s? It was over 50 for sure.

    Enjoy the win tonight Hawks

    Seth53, agreed that Purdue will be tough. But I guarantee you that we will not lose by 30. I would say you are being a bit dramatic, and hope you don't believe your own prediction. Iowa was 2-15 back in the era of Les Jepson when the B-makers came to town and lost, Keady was beside himself...

    Reaction to Portland Picking Kris Murray

    Wow, talk about over-thinking the difference between the Murray bros and why Kris isn't on the same level as Keegan!

    Horse?

    What a weekend for Hawk fans! Since both Sandfort and Clark are from the Des Moines area, I think they should play a Horse challenge match, but all behind the 3 point line. I would pay good money to see that!

    Patrick Stepping Away From Basketball

    I am pretty sure we'll see PMac back this season. I know he loves the game, he loves his team, and he has all the support anyone could ask for, family, friends, fans, and medical professionals. Putting playing time on hold shows a maturity beyond his years. He will be rewarded, I just don't...

    Today's PSU game

    OK, I get it, we lost 3 games. But there is nothing on this forum, or on Hawk Central about today's game. I guess the bowl game sucked up all the oxygen. Prediction, our guys will step up, we will bounce back and have a decent season, the team will be fun to watch, and all the Nervous Nellies...

    Iowa Hoops Notebook: ACC/B1G Swan Song

    I missed the news about UCLA and USC joining the Big Ten. OK I guess, but not so the new TV deals, that for people who don't want to pay $100+ for cable mean either missing games or coughing up more $ or suffering with the world's worst streaming service, BTN+. This year BTN+ tells me once a...

    Attendance

    It is simple, if you have a good large screen TV with all the latest, and you live more than an hour from Carver, it is really easy to watch the game at home. I loved going to Carver when I had access to some tickets, but in the end what I really care about is that THEY WIN!!!!!
