    Ava Heiden?

    Are we so quick to forget AJ Ediger? She played valuable minutes in the past two seasons although she hasn't played much this year. And we can't forget the incoming recruits. Layla Hays is 6'5" and could well be in the mix for playing time next year.

    CMac to Butler

    One thing I don't think anyone on this thread has mentioned is the pay. I believe an assistant at Butler would make more than a very low assistant (one step above intern, I believe someone said) at the Pacers. According to what I could find, Connor made less than Caitlin as an assistant at the...

    Every conference in the country's basketball record over the last 200 games

    Actually, it isn't as far as we would like to think. Iowa's collective funding (NIL) last year was about $9.7 million; ISU's was $7.6 million. Also take into account that Iowa has 20 sports to support and ISU has 16.

    In-State RB Brevin Doll Chooses Iowa

    Didn't see anyone else say it, so I'll be Captain Obvious. There was a guy who went to Adel High School for three years before moving to Omaha with his family. He then went to U of I. EVERYONE on this board should know who I'm talking about.

    Keegan Murray goes off for 32 & 9

    To be fair, the Kings didn't win one game against the Pelicans all season. 0-4. Their closest game was a five point loss in November. The play-in game was the second closes loss.

    Iowa lands Morehead guard from portal

    Pretty sure that TP went to Missouri due to NIL. What, do you think their stellar 0-18 record in the SEC is what drew him there?

    Hawk Central, Tyler Tachman

    Back when I was coaching (in the '80s), I worked the Wartburg Basketball Camp. The coach from Denver (I believe) made the statement "You better hope that your son is really bad or really good because anything in between and you will be criticized mercilessly." When I asked him which was his son...

    Wow what a Pathetic Basketball Game

    Last time I checked, Gaza is on the Mediterranean Sea. Plenty of opportunities to port a boat. And sand? Really? You really don't know your geography well, do you?

    New thread: OC Rumormill

    Did you see them play? I watched nearly all their games (they stream for free). Twice as many passing yards as rushing yards? Over 3,000 yards in passing offense? No way would Kirk allow that offense.

    Harsh reality

    Hey, I liked KOK and he did put up decent numbers on offense. But how many here think he was given free rein on offense? (Hopefully no one is that naive) When he was at Allegheny he ran what resembled the Air Raid offense and won a DIII championship. Does anyone believe that if he had free rein...

    Harsh reality

    I find this reasoning hilarious. When football is played outdoors, which it is for ALL current Big 10 teams, your strategy is limited by the elements. How many games has USC, UCLA, Oregon or Washington had to play in snow? How many in sub-freezing weather? How many with bone-numbing windchill...

    Hawks-Gophers Game Thread

    From the NCAA rule book website on fair catch: A valid signal is a signal given by a player of Team B who has obviously signaled his intention by extending one hand only clearly above his head and waving that hand from side to side of his body more than once. Team B was designated earlier in...

    Hear me out, our fall back could be our answer.

    Please tell me the last time an Iowa team with Kirk as the coach did this. And don't forget that even when our RBs went down and we were using a walk-on as our starting back and we had Drew Tate as QB that we STILL didn't do that. We can talk about doing this until we are blue in the face but it...

    Coaching changes

    Exactly right. Ever since Brian moved from OLine coach to OC our line play has deteriorated. Doesn't matter who's the QB or RB, if they don't get blocking they don't do squat.
