Think he even needs to relocate? Might be able to do the job from Iowa City, fly in for a couple nights each week during the season. I'm guessing he isn't moving his family for that job.

Yep, what's weird is I am not sure I ever really liked running. Yet I ran cross country and track all through college. By about junior year of high school, it had become a year round sport for me. Lots of miles. I think the reason I couldn't quit was the love of competing as a team. Plus cross...

You guys are bringing me back. Former high school and college 800 runner here. Nothing quite like the lactate acid pooling up and suddenly hitting an unmanageable level, yet the finish line is still 10-20 meters away. Absolute worst feeling. It's somehow pain and numbness at the same time. Arms...

Sounds like the Northwestern QB is coming (Sullivan).

That might be the most realistic option. I think closer to downtown would be the best for catering to students, though. And in my opinion, if you get the students there, everything else will take care of itself. It will be a great atmosphere and a hot ticket. It's a new era, or has been for...

I believe there have been feasibility studies for areas adjacent to downtown in the past. But I'm guessing these were all based on models in the 15,000 seat capacity, with corresponding requirements for parking. Anyone know if any feasibility studies have been done for a 6,000 to 7,000 seat...

Labas ended up at Central Michigan, right? Anyone know if he appears to be the starter there? If so, that one is still a real head scratcher. In my opinion, that's the perfect type of guy you'd be looking for here. MAC level starter quality. Someone good enough to compete some with McNamara...

Is she the most clutch Hawkeye of all time? Absolute bad ass. Can't think of another Hawkeye who could always determine what the team needed, mentally or physically, and then elevate and deliver. All timer.

Aren't most basketball teams in the same boat? Meaning they face major roster turnover each and every year? If the payroll is large, shouldn't be an issue.

That's where you might be projecting too much. Based on your reasoning, every basketball program in D1 must suck given the number of kids in the portal every season. Hundreds of kids running from awful experiences. Maybe Patrick and Tony both loved being Hawks and wouldn't trade those...

Jesus. That's a new twist.

*Add to the fact he has already been in the program for 5 years. How many kids spend 5 years in the same program now? And of those that have, how many are coming back for a 6th year in that same program? It might also be hard to find another occasion of that happening.

I know what you are saying. I think it makes a ton of sense for Patrick though. Even if he didn't play sports, but had the opportunity to go to grad school for free away from the town he grew up in, it'd make sense. When you factor in all the other elements related to basketball, it's easy to...

I doubt it happens, but if the coaches felt like Van Lith was all in, I'd love to see it. In my opinion, Iowa needs at least two veteran starters from the portal in order to contend for the Big Ten title. And Van Lith is an ideal shooting guard. This would be a hell of a nucleus. Olsen (or...

I'd take HVL in a second and wondered if she'd be interested in the stable, "family" environment Bluder has created before she was even in the portal. I'd think it could be just the fit she is looking for. In my opinion, LSU did her no favors putting her at point. She can play it when needed...
