    Indiana game could be a very interesting test

    I like Rivers. Is he a championship Big Ten point guard? Probably not. He does play with effort and is a good defender. IU needs to cause problems for Payne. This should be an advantage for IU. Fuller is a player that intrigues me. IU does not play very good interior defense and I could see...

    Indiana game could be a very interesting test

    I have been pleased with IU's play since the loss of Creek. Crean is a fine coach. I think the matchup should be really interesting. IU is not good enough to overlook Iowa so I don't think the Hawks can sneak up on them. I think the Hoosiers should win at home. If it was in Iowa City it might...

    Matt Gatens and Eric May

    I like both of these guys. I don't think anyone could honestly say Gates would not play significant minutes for any Big Ten team. He is not a great player, but he is very solid. I like the energy May brings to the table. He may never refine his game enough to be an all Big Ten player, but I...

    The #1 Reason Lick Gets Another Year

    I don't think you can make any decisions until the end of the year. I thought the team looked out of it against Minnesota and Illinois but played hard against Penn St. and MSU. There is a lot of season left to play before saying Lick should be fired or get another year.

    Michigan State favored by 22.5

    I would never bet this game. It all depends upon what Izzo wants to do tonight. One thing is Lick will keep Iowa's starters in to the end of the game and you can get some of the previously mentioned back door covers.

    Iowa’s actual attendance average is 4,591

    Those figures stun me. I don't think you can regain the passion until significant improvement happens. I'm no talking about being .500 overall either. It seems like a perfect storm has occurred. It is certainly not all TL's fault but imo he will be the one to pay the price.

    Article on Cougill and Playing Time...critcism

    I did not believe Cougill was a Big Ten player when he was in high school. I saw him play on four occasions in high school and he labored at times to get up and down the floor. I am not knocking the staff for signing him because you never know how he will develop, but to think he was Big Ten...

    I saw Chris play as a HS freshman for Mormon Trail before he transferred to Indianola. My sister was a suitemate of his sister's in college. I was in law school at IU when he passed. What a promissing player and, more importantly, what a fine young man.

    Tennessee State Preview/Prediction

    Re: Tennessee State Preview/Predition I like the idea of letting people in for free. A good way get some families to come to the game. You cannot continue to charge premium prices and expect people to pay them when the product is not very good. I think most season ticket holders would...

    Ben Brust's Game last night

    Let's see how these kids work out. Brust may be the greatest thing out of Chicago since KG and Isiah Thomas but let the kid get here and establish himself. My one complaint about Iowa fans is their consistent overrating of the incoming talent. This isn't an observation from one year or one...

    Izzo's thoughts on Lickliter...

    I think Francis X Lauterbur disagrees that if you are a winner at one coaching job you will win at your next stop.

    Iowa isn't Tough Enough

    I just don't see the talent level to be successful. To me May and Cougil are marginal recruits. The kind of kids you offer if you have four scholarships and want to take on a recruit to develop with the last scholarship. I would put Fuller in this catagorey as well. I'm not sold on Payne. I...
