Just saw Lunardi's prediction for next year's tournament He has 9 Big Ten teams in. Iowa is not one of them Looks like no one is very high on us. Hopefully motivates us to over achieve

Kind of typical guard recruit for McCaffrey. Don't know anything about him but probably mid major talent. Maybe helps with depth but not going to move the needle

Well I can think of a few of the top of my head Bobby Cummings. Roy Bash, Jake Christianson, Tom McLaaughlin, Rob Fick Kyle Slogman Butch Caldwell are just a few And I just have a gut feeling that Ferentz wants to play Hill Just a feeling

I have a sick feeling that when McNamara goes down early on if he is able to start the year that Ferentz is going to put Hill in the starting lineup. I have not seen any promising news in the Portal and I'm not sure Ferentz Is even making an effort to find a QB. Don't have any information that...

FWIW and that's probably not much he has us at #17 ahead of Washington for the cellar. I find that a bit difficult to believe but I guess it shows at least one "expert" is not very impressed with our chances as of today. Which brings up the question of the portal. I have not seen Iowa...

Everyone entitled to opinion.. Certainly some good players in Fran era Cook probably the highest rated player out of high school turned out to be decent player Some really good Legacy recruits and of course Garza who wasn't highly recruited turned out to be great college player the question...

Fran was never a great recruiter before the NIL although he managed to get some good legacy recruits and his age and record are going to make it difficult but the NIL throws a huge barrier for Fran or anyone who comes in after him. I read where Storr from Wisconsin was asking for a million...

Wins Jim Phalen National Coach of the year. Really? Did a decent job but Coach of the year??

It wasn't a joke but a comment by some Harvard magazine writer on how crazy this realignment is getting Notre Dame can't wait much longer

FWIW I just read a story on internet which looked legit that said that the Ivy League and Big Ten were merging in 25-26. So when you stop laughing tell me why they put on an April Fools joke on April 3

We are not always on the same page but I am totally with you on this post except that I am not as enamored with Fran as you. That being said Fran is facing an almost impossible situation with his age the status of the program and lack of NIL support. There was a day when a coaching change could...

Hope we won't be watching Hawks lose in the NIT and Clones make a deep run in the NCAA Tournament But As yogi always said "Looks like Deja Vu all over again"

Some of you probably don't remember The old days. In the Bud Wilkinson era of college football Oklahoma used to recruit all the good players and dominated college football. That continued after Bud was gone. I can remember when Fry came to Iowa and we went down to Oklahoma to play and he said he...

Very Good Win. Great effort Great coaching and Great defense with shorthanded team and limited offensive weapons

Did Porter take Swarm money? Some have suggested Iowa State has a sugar daddy for NIL who might that be
