    What is going on?

    I watch every game and get plenty frustrated but I try to keep it in perspective and be positive about the future. I know it is not always easy but I think it is more fun.

    What is going on?

    I think this is a pretty accurate summary of where we are at. I would add special teams for things to improve on. Teams with our lack of playmakers can't be outplayed on special teams consistently. I am looking forward to the rest of this season.

    Greg Davis - Mr. Lightning Rod

    For years KF and his staff have been bashed for being too conservative and playing not to lose. I didn't love that call but the play was open and it almost worked. I give those guys credit for trying something different. If it had worked KF & GD would look a lot smarter today. We aren't...

    Vandenberg vs Rudock

    I am not planning to do any game film breakdown but I thought our QB play improved yesterday in JR's first game. Lot's of room for mprovement but not near as painful as last season.

    The Hawkeye defense could be exceptional in at least one area

    I hope Coach Woods does not seriously believe these guys have a chance to play in the NFL. I hope Morris and Hithcens can be slightly above average B1G players this year, which would be a significant improvement. I think Kirksey could be pretty good at the B1G level but he will not be playing...

    OT Auburn

    This is probably the most predictable 'scandal' we have seen in a long time. I hope it gets ugly for them, they deserve it. Next, look for Bobby Petrino to find a way to embarass himself and his employer sometime in the next 12 months.

    Should Kirk...

    I think Eric is ready to 'go pro' in something other than sports. He had a great college bball career after struggling with back issues. Messing around with FB at this point in his life wouldn't make a lot of sense to me. I wish him success in whatever he chooses to do.

    I promise

    I invite you to take this pledge with me. I promise to enjoy tonight's game regardless of the outcome. I will remind myself how lucky we are to have had 5 postseason games and that I am grateful for the entertainment this team has provided. I will refrain from criticism of any of our players...

    Does anyone have physical proof McCabe can dunk?

    Is there a tougher player in the B1G? I doubt it. I love McCabe as a player.

    Playa del Carmen

    Watched the game last night at an outdoor bar in Playa del Carmen, Mexico. The only thing more perfect than the game was the weather. If there are any other Hawk fans down here on spring break I would be open to a 'South of the Border' Hawkwatch on Thursday evening.

    Steve Alford new coach at UCLA

    For those hard core Alford haters(I know it is shallow) this is a daily double. First he looks bad leaving New Mexico after signing that big extension and second I think he is set up for failure. He will learn what pressure and high expectations are actually like. He seems like a very poor...

    Ben Howland out at UCLA.....The Mayor a Candidate??

    I told my kids I would send them to any school in the country except one so my 'Clone-hatin' credentials are solid. I do have to say Hoiberg has done a great job and will have other opportunities. Making all those transfers fit into his program and stay out of trouble is not easy. Royce White...

    Mid-Majors

    Seeing Alford become the first coach to ever lose twice to a #14 seed was the highlight of the tournament for me.

    Mid-Majors

    An observation not a celebration, although I am tired of the Gonazaga story. I root for the B1G teams in every game they play, expecially when it is against the Clones.

    Mid-Majors

    Did anyone else notice that of 3 teams seeded 1-4 that did not come from the 'power' conferences, none of them made the Sweet 16? I spell overrated G-O-N-Z-A-G-A. Of the 13 'power' conference teams seeded 1-4, 5 are already in the Sweet 16 and up to 6 more could make it today.

    Who's the starting five next year?

    While I am interested in how Jok and Uthoff contribute next year I think the more important determinant of our success next year will be the improvement our existing players make. I think Woodbury has the most room to improve. He is big and he plays very hard. If can add some strength and...

    Watching Game in Kansas City

    I am in KC this week on business. Any ideas on a good spot to watch the game, particularly in the DT or Plaza area???

    Iowa's current resume

    If we win 4 of our last 5 and beat PSU in the first round of the B1G tournament we will finish 6th in America's toughest conference with a 10-8 record and 22 overall wins. We will also be 8-2 in our last 10 games. I think that is good enough to get in the dance.

    Josh Oglesby

    I like the options Fran has, however I think this team is better with May on the floor than Oglesby. I think our greatest challenge is athleticism and specifically we struggle to finish around the basket in transition or the half-court. May is our best athlete and I like the toughness he...
