    First step in moving fans closer to the court

    What happened to the Hawks’ nest? Did the vitriol for Alford just kill it?

    Ben and the Recruiting

    I am expecting a typical Iowa year…middle-of-the pack in conference play, and a 8 or 9 seed in the tournament. I will consider that a win in Ben’s first year.

    Luka to Celtics

    George Niang Luka Garza This is basically the Celtics backup front court. Funny, one is a Hawk, the other is a Clone, and neither one are much of a defender. Niang is better in the NBA than he was in college, but he still isn’t good. Garza will never be a good defender. Both will have...

    Iowa assistants pleased with summer basketball workouts

    Yeah, that Richmond team was bad. You get the excuses about Keegan’s ankle injury, and all the 12 seeds upsetting the 5 seeds in the past, and you still roll your eyes. It is inexcusable that Pmac was the only one that had any juice after the BIG Tournament.

    Iowa assistants pleased with summer basketball workouts

    The 1st paragraph of my post was tongue-in-cheek. Conner is/was clearly upset that his father was fired, and I was clowning around with his deleted tweets. I get your point, tho. A Fran team wants to play with tempo/pace and grinding games out in the 60(s) wasn’t going to happen. Now we are...

    Lol, is that an indictment on Fran? Maybe we should let Conner know why his Dad was let go.:) In all seriousness…I am excited what potentially the BM era could be.

    Cooper DeJean & coach Ben McCullum

    Holy shit, coach still has a handle. For a 45 year old, that was impressive.

    PFF College returning B1G QB ratings

    Yeah, I had similar thoughts. Granted I am not watching a ton of Rutgers games, but the few I did watch I didn’t see it.

    PFF College returning B1G QB ratings

    Not a big Drew Allar guy, and I was saying this even before the shit throw late in the Notre Dame game. Luke Altmyer might be the only “lock” on the OP’s list. Illinois could be a sneaky 10-2 team this year. Nico I has the highest ceiling, if he puts it together, he is a top 5 NFL draft pick...

    Hungry?

    I’m in agreement with Fry, other than maybe a high end steak joint. I’m not living a baller lifestyle, so I am not covering the entire tab, but a round of drinks, and paying for my meal…I will spend a little bit of coin for that. Odds of me being in a Ruth‘s Chis or something better, no pun...

    Why do we always F around with this shit?

    Meh I am in agreement with @haydensly, this shit happens all the time. BM knows how to construct a roster, and more importantly, it appears that he will not over pay for dudes…soooo, if he wants to add his kid as a walk-on… I’m good with it.

    Kirks biggest weakness.........

    They have put 2 starting white corners in the NFL.:) In all seriousness, it is everything, everyone else has said in this thread, in regards to the Iowa defense from 19-23.

    B1G to announce TV games today

    IIRC, Oklahoma/Michigan is the only big game CyHawk week.

    Iowa to play Bucknell in the

    Neutral site games in Sioux Falls and the Quad Cities have had really good fan turn outs. You will get a good crowd in Des Moines. You wish that the opponent would be a little “sexier”, but I get the rationale behind it.

    Iowa to play Bucknell in the

    ^^^^Ding, ding, ding. Playing Drake at Wells would check so many boxes. My runner up would be Creighton.
