We also had the Big Ten Defense Player of the Year(Erik Hansen) and the Big Ten 6th Man of the Year(Doug Thomas) on that team. Yes, the big three were native Iowans,but these other two did play a big role,and very well as their awards demonstrate. What really killed SA and then Lick was the...

If Brommer left, and the staff was prepared by having targeted an immediate contributor from the juco ranks...a perimeter player...then I am ok with it. I hope Tucker and Fuller stick it out..we need veteran depth the next two years. The only way I see us competing in the next few years is thru...

Attendance did rise slightly the last 3 years of Alford from the bottom in 04. It was still lagging around 12.3k but it beats the heck outta 10k. I think the winning would have brought more fans in...if they won.

Actually, it would be the 4th straight loss to Drake and Josh Young. That guy has beaten Iowa every year since he arrived in Des Moines. C'mon Hawks do not give him a clean sweep. Iowa 64 Drake 52.

Turnip is sarcastic-man. Everything he says...he means the opposite. AS for DeCourcy...he is absolutely dead on in his analysis. Barta cannot tell a coach who to hire, but it is his responsiblity to sit down with the prospective new 8.4 million dollar hire and have him lay out his exact...

This is why I wanted to play Boise St in the Fiesta Bowl. Beating them would push our profile way up there for next year. Now, TCU or Boise will be top 5...would rather they both play BCS teams to validate their rankings.

Typical OSU....keep them eligible thru the Big Ten season,then reality hits,and now they will go out and get hammered and make the league look bad in the Rose Bowl. And next year...same two will be back playing again...what a system.

Personally, Texas would be my #2 choice behind ND. It would be a bonanza of new TVs for the BTN audience,and would open up texas for recruiting for the big ten. Great program,better climate,fun trip for football...ect. The travel would be tough for fans,but it is not like PSU is close either...

Soldier Field works for me,cept it only seats 62,000 and if they are having a championship game to increase revenues...might need more seats. Not sure how many fans it would draw,but if it was Iowa,OSU,Michigan,PSU or Wisky, probably could sell out a bigger venue.

Mizzou just does not work for me. Southern state,really. Big Ten is above the Mason-Dixon. ND is #1 choice,then maybe Rutgers or possibly Syracuse. If we are going south,go for the big bonanza ...Texas Longhorns.

I agree that the Big Ten has been a bit underwhelming in non-conference play so far. Lot of parity in the country. Now, some teams are gathering steam,like the illini,and Purdue,tho. I think considering that NW lost star Coble and Ryan before the season,there can be little doubt they are the...

Craig Robinson.

Butler started 3 frosh and a sophmore and a junior last year and they had a great season. If those frosh can come in and immediately be stars like Mack and Hayward...then our COY better be able to teach it to a juco player.

We actually need to have a benchwarmer transfer to open up a scholly for a desperately needed quick point guard. If this staff wants to continue their run at Iowa they better be beating the bushes for just such a player who can immediately contribute. They need to coach and work as if they need...

I do not mind Spanks legit enthusiasm for hawk bb, but this poster's arrogance is mind-boggling. PSU,IU and NW fighting for the bottom while Iowa fights for 5th? Nice pick.

NW returns 10 of their top 11 scorers from last year, a year they had a winning record, beat MSU and PU on their home courts and made the NIT, and Iowa is going to leapfrog them? I would be very pleased if that happened,but I doubt it.

All that matters is getting to the Rose Bowl...therefore we should all be huge Nit fans this week. Go Lions, Go Hawks!!!

If OSU plays PSU close, they will still be rated after a loss. Then even if Iowa beats them, if they beat Michigan to finish 8-4...they will probably hang on as a #24 or #25. Their losses will be vs USC,Iowa PSU...all topten..and then PU..

It might just be me, but they sure do seem to hide those Iowa replays on ESPNU. I never did find the Wisky game, and last nite they showed 3-4 games from saturday, but not Iowa. I swear they simply do not think Iowa gets enough ratings for them so they only show them after 2 am...

Where is Sopo located? I like out near jeff park. Four Shadows is the closest.. Merkles and Barleycorn are frenzied.
