Honestly you can come up with a rationale for every decision every year. "Give a coach more time", "It's just Iowa so we should just be happy", or whatever other reason someone would have. What has transpired over the last month in year 9 of a regime tells us this is a program that has at best...

LOL...other teams fans would out-draw Iowa even in Des Moines.

3 straight lackluster seasons is enough of a trend. No defense to speak of, can't recruit a legit B1G point guard, getting your ass kicked on senior day by Rutgers, getting punked by a horrible Nebraska team to end the season. This is not where this program should be in year 9. And then...

He was Creighton's top assistant for 12 years and spent alot of that time recruiting in the Big East. I'd say he's recruited Big Ten level.

It is not only possible, it is likely. Nebraska should be a favorite honestly.

No point guard, pure and simple. They don't have one guy who is consistently able to take his man off the dribble and it has been this way since Fran arrived here. Every team I have watched Iowa play presses Iowa's guards at the 3 point line and takes away the 3 pt shot. Every time Bohannon...

I say we need to do away with these net rankings. Why are we even talking about Indiana right now? Because they swept MSU? Who cares? Over the course of 14 games they lost the other 12 games. This is just ESPN's monopoly on the sports world. And of course they would overvalue Indiana, who...

Iowa didn't just play a bad game against a bad team Saturday and lose, they've been playing horribly since the Michigan win but a couple of miracle shots against NW and Rutgers and a furious rally against Indiana on 2/22 have kept this from being a total collapse. What we are seeing is a trend...

Tonight is the latest in a pattern of poor play since the michigan win. This time there will be no miracles to save them. 21-10 for the reg season. One and done in the btt and dance. 21-12 to end the season. We will get no better under Fran without an uptick in recruiting.

This is the true racism in my opinion. When a white person assumes that a black person is a victim and cannot speak for themselves, it assumes inferiority based on race. That is textbook racism. The only reason any white person would be saying a statement is racist when scores of black people...

The big problem is that young people are being raised and taught how to effectively live as victims. In the last 10 years especially it as become lucrative to be a victim. You have an advantage if you are black, a woman, gay, native american, trans, or whatever "oppressed minority" you want to...

I all fairness, the Michigan win changed the whole season narrative. Without that win the narrative would be Iowa is a nice team who can't win the big ones and struggles against inferior teams. With the win, the narrative is that Iowa can play with and beat anyone and finds ways to win close...

After all the craziness in the Big Ten this season it took Iowa until near the end of the season to lose to a team below them in the standings...and that team is probably going to make the NCAA tournament. Minnesota was even with Iowa in the standings when they beat Iowa. Pretty amazing if you...

"Reports: McCaffery cursed out officials." How is this headline worthy? Isn't it common occurrence in sports? Why isn't it a headline when Izzo does it? Or when Bo Ryan used to do it? I'm not excusing Fran's behavior but ESPN shows us time and time again what a disgrace they are when it...

When I say hot head I refer to Fran's Bob Knight episodes during games. Yes coaches push their players in practice and they should. But the in-game spectacles are over the line. People can argue over and over again that Izzo deserves more T's than he gets and Bo Ryan did too but that is only...

So raise your hand if you want to play for a program in constant turmoil because of hot heads like Fran McCaffery and bumbling buffoons like Gary Barta who are incapable of handling the simplest of PR situations? This is what we will get, along with a divided fan base, as long as these two are...

Dolph has been dragged through the mud for the last few days without a single word from Barta. His name is ruined. He is unemployable because of the reckless actions of a University with a record of reckless behavior when it comes to this kind of crap. I think it is 100% certain he takes the...

If a $6.5 million discrimination lawsuit triggered by Barta's mishandling of a situation did not get him fired then nothing sports-related will. The only thing that will push Barta out is donors putting their checkbooks and wallets away. There have been plenty of reasons for fans to do that in...

Let's not forget the automatic $40 million in shared revenue from the B1G every year. If you can't raise money in this conference you shouldn't have a job.

If a kid doesn't want to go to college, don't make them. If they want to use their extraordinary basketball skills to get paid let them. I do think the NBA should have a requirement that you must play at least 1 year of D-League basketball if you come straight out of high school. Build your...
