    Heartfelt congrats to ISU

    If I am not mistaken. The hawks and clones have both improved the last 3 years. Before that both were awful and UNI was king of the state. If anything you could take it as both schools are again pushing each other on the court and becoming more successful.

    New Bracketology

    I'd just rather not play the clones again. That would be just too much for me i think.

    ***OFFICIAL CUBS OFF-SEASON THREAD***

    I guess i don't get this idea of lack of add revenue causing a poor baseball team. The Cubs are in the top 5 revenue generating teams in all of baseball. Other teams are doing more with less fan support and fewer dollars. The Cubs went for broke awhile back are rebuilding from those decisions...

    The dudes game is garbage.

    Tom Davis vs. Johnny Orr

    Orr's teams played exciting hoops and people nationwide talked about him in high regard. People gravitated to that i think. The comparison is silly as both were coaches the school was proud of and won some basketball games along the way.

    ***OFFICIAL CUBS OFF-SEASON THREAD***

    I am overall pretty happy with the progress of the Cubs Farm System. Not sure I have enjoyed the spend no money on the big league club losing a 100 games a year strategy but will do my best to live with. Have some beef with the whole renovating Wrigley situation and Ricketts as a whole. Fans...

    Big 12 Best Conference in the Country?

    I'll give big 12 nod this year. They are probably at their weakest point right now with Smart being out 3 games. I can say if OSU makes the list as a 12 spot or somthing. I don't think I would want that draw if Smart has figured out his stuff. Wish there was a big 10 big 12 challenge.

    At this point what B1G teams make the dance?

    I think the league gets in 6 tops this year. The league does not have quite the same street cred as last year. Teams like Texas and Colorado have generated some buzz to th big 12 pac 12 that was not there last yr.

    Who's your favorite Hawkeye?

    Marble is the fave. Still don't think he gets as much love from the fans as he should

    The great HN basketball minds

    I see what you are saying I think you are just putting too much emphasis on the platoon idea and its benefits. Basketball is a game of starts, stops, and runs. With TV timeouts and things these guys are not playing for huge stretches if time. The conditioning and platoon this is really not a...

    The great HN basketball minds

    I don't think anyone has every said that depth was a bad thing or Fran should not try to leverage that strength. There is no way that all 11 guys that step on the court are all at the same basketball level (that night). At times I would like to have Fran work a match up a or be a bit more...

    Apparently Baylor and ISU think the 3 point shot is just about the only shot to take

    Re: Apparently Baylor and ISU think the 3 point shot is just about the only shot to t I don't think either team wants to meet up with the other in NCAA play unless its the Chip. I' just going to say that. Clones are improving and look to have an odd scoring balance that has maintanied. I see...

    Big Game Bob

    I think you need a graduation rate in that range to try and compete in the FBS playoffs next season. Harvard has not won a national title in a long time ya know.

    Johnny Orr

    Went and watched these. Interesting hearing what Fred had to say on Johnny and some of the old coaches in the Big 8 and how media is today. It's cool how people smile when they talk about Orr even though it is a very sad event. Must have made a pretty good impact on a lot of people. World...

    This is not an NCAA team. Why? Our guard play stinks.

    True ...... My point was more based on the point. A great game for Marble has a higher ceiling than a great game for Mike. They are diffrent players at diffrent points in their careers.

    This is not an NCAA team. Why? Our guard play stinks.

    I'll agree that Marble is the best guard on the team. Not sure anyone will say that is not true. However the guard play on the team is just fine. The team is good w/out marble The team can be great w/ marble playing at a high level This scenario is diffrent that last year. This years team...

    Johnny Orr

    Johnny was a good man. As and Iowan I always felt like he was really just one of us. Loved how he could give almost anyone a hard time (looking at you Vital).

    Nebraska and travel to Gator Bowl

    Watching a lot of midwest football in my day it has been obvious that the bug eaters have been a slow yet steady decline. I feel they made the confrence move to re-energize the fan base and it didn't have the success rate they had hoped for. Add that to Bo making an emberassment of the program...
