Realistically, where will this team wind up in the standings of the expanded B1G? I admit, I know nothing about the players on this team or what they might be capable of.

I sincerely hope that the fans who are able start showing up for the games again and give the players some justification for choosing Iowa.

As big of an Iowa Basketball fan as I have been in the past, it seems bizarre to me that I only recognize two of the names on your starting unit and one (Stirz) because of the publicity he came with. Ought to be an enlightening development for me when the games actually start. As usual, I...

I dunno. Gronowski running as much as he is looks like a ticking bomb to me. Did he run this much at his previous stop? I thought he was presented as a passing QB. Eventually someone is going to get a good hit on him (other teams will make a point of targeting him) and perhaps put him on the...

What an odd upcoming season. I have been incredibly busy and I'm not up on: (1) Who this coach will be in this conference and (2) Who the heck are the players and how good are they expected to be over 18 conference games and a few other necessities. I assume they start playing in 6-7 weeks...

Hope you are able to enjoy your retirement, as I have. So nice not having to be somewhere every morning!

The Shamrock used the KXIC contest every week for a case of beer. After I won it three times and the owner knew I wasn't a regular customer, he politely asked me to quit entering. I remember I gave one case to Jim Collins, an-ex Hawkeye who tended bar there.

This week, with all the conference championships is just the start of the fun. I kissed MrsLucky goodbye and told her I would see her in April.

What traction? There's not a whisper of this on TOB.

Big "Field of Dreams" game tonight. Great opportunity to show the country just how badly the Cubs have been allowed to regress since the glory days of a few year ago. Hope the Ricketts appear to take a bow.

Well, the trading deadline has come and gone and Happ and Contreras are both still Cubs and both of them seem happy about that fact. Now if we can just stop trading talent for beans and start accumulating players we may eventually be able to catch up to the Brewers and Cardinals, but it will...

He would already be over that if he hadn't had his hand caught in the cookie jar and had a bunch of wins vacated. I remember at one point he was going to retire back in 2015 so maybe his enthusiasm has waned a bit.

A six hour haul in the middle of winter is not easy trip. J.P. himself said that the distance from home to the school would not be a determining factor.

Given everything I've read about how much he enjoyed his Iowa visit, Syracuse is going to have to really blow him away to lure him there. For once, I actually think we are going to win this battle and Mr. Estrella will look great in the Black and Gold!

I still think Luka could earn a spot on a NBA roster if a team is looking for a high character, hard working kid who can come in and give them ten minutes or so of quality play which includes the ability to knock down threes. If he wants a real basketball career though, I think he is going to...
