    Interesting Read on Fran

    From Mike Hlas from The Gazette. Not to take any jabs at Captain Kirk but it is refreshing to read Fran's pressers. Nine times out of ten with Ferentz I can pretty much tell you how he will answer any given question. Doesn't make him a bad coach obviously (see also Bill Belicheck) but it is...

    Cancel the Series

    Much of this post is ridiculous! So it's okay to cancel a serious because you can't beat someone or have few calls not go your way? Well sorry but that's basketball. I'm a Hawkeye fan but UNI alum. If Iowa cancels the series I think they should considering leaving the big ten for basketball...

    Seriously...Big Ten gets ten teams to bowls?

    This has to be some sort of record and I do realize be just added a team but ten teams to bowls? Seriously, if you don't make it to a bowl these days you are pathetic. Why coaches even get bonuses for making a bowl is beyond me. Maybe I should see if I can get a bonus at work for getting my...

    Will the B1G want to part ways with PSU

    Only way PSU ever gets 'kicked out' is if for some reason Notre Dame decides they want in the Big Ten and but they don't want to be in the same conference as Ped State based on moral grounds. Then I'm sure if we could basically trade Penn State for ND we'd do that in a heart beat. Otherwise...

    Stanzi?

    Fran McCaffery Talks Recruiting Class & More

    I can't say I have seriously followed Iowa basketball for a few years. Sure I check the scores and standings but haven't really followed them. I have to say I was really impressed with Fran after reading that presser. Nothing against Coach Ferentz but geez, I think I actually got some real...

    Who ya got....Huskers or Penn State

    I've rooted against Nebraska every game they've played this season and it would sure help Iowa if Penn State beat them this week but I just don't care. As long as Paterno is coaching that team I want them to lose. I don't think he should coach another game but if he does, I hope he doesn't...

    I'd like to punch McQueary and his Dad in the face

    McQuery could have done much more but this isn't going to turn out well for him. Besides having to live with this the rest of his life how many other division 1 football coaches are going to want to have him on their staff? I think he is done coaching major college football after this season...

    Video Tonight of Joe Paterno being interviewed

    My lord I can't understand how the students could be in support of this guy! Are we sure Penn St is a member of the Association of American Universities? I guess the standards must not be as high as we thought they are! It's also obvious Paterno hasn't grasped the seriousness of the...

    North Carolina-Duke to B1G?

    I don't sit and study this expansion stuff as much as some of you do but I have to think Mizzou and Kansas are a better fit than Duke and UNC for the Big Ten. Obviously a better geographical fit, state populations are about the same, (KS + MO = NC), and would add a geographical rivals for both...

    NCAA Sanctions: A whirlwind history lesson

    No scandal that I can remember. In fact I'm pretty sure no one would have had TD back after Alfruads first game when we beat number 1 UCONN. Alford just wasn't a good fit here, people didn't like him, and of course he had a heck of a time developing players, made bad personnel choices, you know...

    Ranking the B10 Football Helmets

    My rankings: 1A: Iowa 1B: Michigan 3: OSU 4-12: Everyone else. The only one that maybe stands out from the rest is Purdue. Everyone else's helmets are basically blank or has a letter on the helmet.

    Funny anecdote about interaction between Ferentz and Rhoads....

    Don't get me wrong, Chizek seemed like a slime bag but he did just win the national championship. I think it might be a stretch at this point to call rhodes a significant upgrade over a national championship winner.

    Ohio St suspends Tressell for 2 games

    Has anyone noticed that Mediacom’s coverage has really improved while satellite cover

    Re: Has anyone noticed that Mediacom’s coverage has really improved while satellite c I had Mediacom and also a 46" Samsung 1080 HD LCD tv. We moved to a new house about a 1.5 ago and at that point decided to give Dish a try and would never go back. The biggest change I saw was the...

    It could be worse...

    Don't get me wrong, Ferentz and his staff had an off day on Saturday but at least Mack Brown is not our coach. The following link is a pretty interesting read on the Longhorns problems and how 'Coach Brown' is handling them. Texas' Mack Brown calls out assistant coaches, players - NCAA...

    Impression of the Big House

    Don't get me wrong, I'm glad you had a good time and felt compelled enough to share your experience but it kind of sounds like maybe you should just transfer to the U of M? Crying over the fight song!?! Sorry but someone had to say it. As for changing the Kinnick experience I think we...
