    OT: Derecho!

    I lived near Virginia Beach from '01 - '08 and rode out Hurricane Isabel there in '03. During the most intense part of the Derecho today we had sustained 80+ mph winds in Gilbert for about 30 min. Extend that over the course of several hours and that is exactly what a hurricane is like. Now you...

    Iowa Football Investigation Discussion

    You did? Quote it to me... Is it possible that the players' public statements about the positive changes they feel in the program are accurate?

    Iowa Football Investigation Discussion

    I asked you a simple question and your response is to pitch an entirely different question back. What would it take for you to engage in a rational discussion? Is it possible the players' public statements about the changes they've felt in the program are accurate?

    Iowa Football Investigation Discussion

    And if the wife's mother is there she's also going to keep quiet and let things continue? The kid could go anywhere and play...immediately at whole lot of schools. So you think his mom is going to tell him to keep quiet, suck it up, and grit his teeth for the next 3 years? I don't think so.

    Social Issue/Political Discussion Relating to Iowa Football

    Two comments related to Maurice Flemming's story: 1) I know nothing of Robert T. Green beyond what information is available on his website. He clearly has an agenda and an apparent strategy to slow-drip player stories onto social media. I have to wonder what his motives are. Perhaps it is as...

    Nine More Positive COVID-19 Tests in Iowa Athletic Department

    A college campus is no more "relatively contained" than a very large apartment complex in any given city is "relatively contained". It's not. Not unless there some restrictions on to or off of campus. And while you're correct that there is lower risk among that population, it's not zero risk...

    Rick Kaczenski

    One of my thoughts early on was how much worse this might be if he had remained on staff.

    Rev and I aren't too far apart on this. I'm left of center politically, but I also have deep seated respect for fair coverage of news and events. Maddow is guilty of reporting with an obvious left bias while claiming balance. I don't have a problem with the left-leaning bias. I have a problem...

    Well, I'm not going to make assumptions about what does or does not constitute appropriate criteria for a special waiver. That was not my point, nor the point of the 1st Amendment. I was simply stating that both men have a right to express themselves and trying to attack either one on 1st...

    And the first amendment rights of Chuba Hubbard? Does he not have the right to hold and express his opinion of Mike Gundy's opinion? Or Mike Gundy himself? This is two people both exercising their 1st Amentdment rights. The rights of neither man has been infringed upon. We should not celebrate...

    DJ Johnson in Transfer Portal

    Guarantee he'll get a waiver if he seeks one. He'll be eligible to play this year if he wants to be.

    Derrell Johnson-Koulianos Statement on His Time with Iowa Football

    I suspect strongly that KF's "Toe the line and keep yourself buttoned up tight" expectations developed, at least in part, from the mid- to late-2000's stretch of player legal issues that reached a breaking point with the 2007 class and the Everson/Satterfield sexual assault case: 2004 class...
