I would be pleased and given the quality of the defenses of the remaining 4 games 9-4 is as likely as 7-6. The Badgers are probably the best defense of the 4 remaining games. If we win this weekend, winning out seems very doable. Bowl game victory will depend on the quality of our opponent's...

Agreed, IOWA football will be trending toward - Its Only Walk-on Athletes

Petras starting gives the Nevada defense a huge advantage. Single coverage on outside receivers on first and second downs 9 defenders in the box. Third down, blitz. Petras is like a golfer who lost his swing and trying to make adjustments while playing. Unless he starts making passes, this...

Bright side: our offense can't get worse.

Brian is running the offense his dad demands. It's a run first, field position, possession, value the ball, old school offense. My guess is that the coaching staff is much more concerned about the OL and downfield blocking than the QB. With a 10-4 season last year and sold out stadium for...

I don't post much anymore, in fact, this will be my last. If your team is ranked in the top 10 consistently throughout the year, are #2 seed and get beat easily by a #7 seed in the second round, your team's coaching and recruiting will never make it to the Sweet 16. So if you are a competitive...

"B1G conference is built upon dominant centers and space eaters. The NCAA tournament is dominated by great guard play." Captain Obvious

too bad we were out of time outs

Speaking of childish, Fran didn't have any starters on the court for the last 3:20. Somebody should remind Fran of the last phrase in our Fight song.

Largely due to Garza missing so many shots he usually makes

Penn State is a trap game. They are a conference bottom feeder and we play two likely #1 seeds next. Hopefully, the Garza hoopla will keep everyone focused and we keep our foot firmly planted on PSUs throat. Win this one and beat the Badgers and that should wrap up a double bye at the B1G...

As usual good analysis, especially pointing out when JBo's shots aren't going in he doesn't push it. Joe T on the other hand hasn't learned to how to play under control. It appears he isn't coachable. He is what he is.

A couple of reporters have noted that CJ's absence has had big impact. I agree especially when JBo struggles as well.

Expectations now: 6th or 7th regular season, lose on Thursday at B1G tournament and lose their 2nd game in the NCAA tourney. Anything better and I would be pleasantly surprised. Note this is true for any season going forward. Regardless of talent level or hype, this is Fran's ceiling. He...

Of course, but it is generally after teams are playing us a second time or have seen how other teams have beat us. B1G coaches are better at making adjustments to their game plan than Fran is. Indiana tended to go deep into the shot clock which was effective. Look for Rutgers to try the same...
