Chad - I don't visit this site much so am glad to see you are still among the living. BTW I am still waiting on that algebra assignment:)

First of all defense has by far been the strength of our program since KF has been here and that is because of Norm. Phil has played for Norm and coached with him for a total of about 20 years. If you hire Phil you get Norm's defense with whatever adjustments Phil thinks is necessary to improve...

The key to building and maintaining a solid program for Iowa has to be to win the games you are supposed to. The games against obviously inferior opponents. That is what we have not done the last two years. Last year losing to Minnesota was inexcusable. With that win we would have been 8-4...

They went on sale last Thursday for big donors and next Thursday for smaller donors and season ticket holders

Also, does anyone know why Cooper was only wearing shorts and not football pants with pads during the scrimmage?

I don't dislike Deace like a lot of people but the Jihadic comment is more stupid than the people he is ascribing it to. Also, there have been numerous stories and posts in the papers and on the internet in the last several years talking about schools with arrest problems worse than Iowa's...

I agree!

NewMexHawk - a down year being 25-22 and we need to make a change?

We are going to have more errors than the top teams in the conference because we didn't have a strike out pitcher. Michigan's defense had to make 7-10 plays a game and Iowa's defense had to make 18-20 plays against hard hit balls. I would agree our recruiting weakness was not coming up with a...

Well, our team batting average was .272 which isn't bad and the team pitching ERA was 2.76 which may be good for the Chicago Cubs but is not very good for top level college softball. Most of the top pitchers in the college world series will be under 1.00. PS - I won't believe she is resigning...

Actually our overall recruiting has been good except we have not picked up the dominating pitcher to replace Weill who graduated a year ago. Michigan has two dominating pitchers. The other top teams in the B10 and top teams around the country have much better pitching than we did this year.

If we combined the present rosters we would still be in the bottom two of either the B12 or B10.

Whoever is hired as head coach will be allowed to bring any assistants he wants. There will be no head D1 basketball coaches hired this year that will not have complete control over their staff unless there is some moral/criminal/legal situation involved.

If what is said about cliques on the team is true (which I have no idea if they are) and Gatens being a part of one of the cliques, then he is not a team leader. He is one of the teams problems.

I haven't watched Tennessee play other than ESPN highlights. Does Pearl's son play much?

Some people are too caught up in this "system" thing. A good basketball player will be good in almost any system. A good player may not like a certain style of play but he is still a good player. Having said that, how many good players would not like an up tempo style of play? Almost all...

Lick was the national COY. Not many people complained about this hire at the time. It looked like a good hire just as the hiring of Alford looked good at the time. They just didn't work out. Most AD's anywhere would have made those hires under the given circumstances.

1970 last second bb loss to Jacksonville and Artis Gilmore. Could have been national champs. A better team than 80 or 87. 14-0 and averaged over 100 points per game in B10.

He was at his brother's HS game Friday night so I doubt if he was in E Lansing on Saturday.
