I agree that we are better defensively with Syd on the court, but I think you're selling Molly's impact short. With a team like KSU (which prides itself on defense, pressing and face-guarding Caitlin), you need another reliable ball-handler and creative scorer. Also, when healthy, Molly has a...

Facing Kansas State without Molly Davis is daunting, IMO. Syd and McCabe are capable back-ups, but neither is a play-maker. McCabe is basically a small two with an excellent 3-point shot, while Syd is a scrappy do-it-all type, but not the type of player that will break down a defense and...

Disappointing effort in a game with a lot on the line. Really makes you wonder where the mindset of this team is, including the coaches.

I was on that site for years. They didn't really "do away" with the forum. It became totally overrun with spam and they decided it wasn't worth the cost to correct the problem. There was a poster, I believe Kevin Kunnert was the posting name (he had a different pseudonym for years prior to that...

The Oregon loss was a reality check that we traditionally are not a very athletic squad, but at least the loss wasn't that much of a surprise. The Richmond loss was more of a, "What the hell..." moment for a program trying to salvage the enthusiasm of its already embittered fans.

You can never pin something like this down to one game, but I still believe that the loss to Richmond was a major tipping point for a lot of the fan base. You could almost feel the enthusiasm for the program leak out with that loss. All tourney losses sting, but there was something about that...

Keeping it real. the better team won. Three offensive boards are never going to get it done at this level, along with a number of missed bunnies. Shannon and Domask might be the best back-court duo in the country. If he's not in prison for his pending sexual assault case, Shannon will be a top...

I'll throw one out that is a bit obscure, but his game was always doing the little things - Bill Jones. He was the kind of player that probably came close a few times to 10-10-10. Nothing dynamic, but a solid all-around type of player that was surrounded by scorers.

I highly doubt money played much of a role in her decision. With endorsements, she will meet or surpass anything she is receiving via NIL, and a lot of those very same companies almost certainly will continue their current contracts with some modifications. I thought about it a lot last night...

Hate to see her go, but it was predictable with Kate and Gabby moving on. My guess is that was a big part of her decision. I am a bit surprised that she made the announcement now. I thought she would give it more time. Perhaps she's tired of the drama and just wanted to get it out of the way.

Very nice performance in a hostile environment. Just being picky, but Voinovich was frustrating to watch today. He needs to learn how to get immediate leverage when he gets in on a shot. Too many pauses. As Jim Gibbons likes to say, "Bring your hips to the party." The official was very...

That's a pretty good analogy. Opposing coaches in the 80s regularly would say things like, "Magic is the only player who could score 2 points and dominate the game." Caitlin kind of has that same vibe about her, but you know she is never just going to score just 2 points...

The casino has been a big factor, but Dubuque also has made a concerted effort to keep things fresh and vibrant. There's still more that could be done, but it's a hard sell for any of those river towns when it comes to allocating city tax dollars for aesthetics. Pragmatism gets in the way of the...

FS1, right after also carrying the women's basketball game.

I made the same observation last night, and mentioned almost exactly that statement to my wife. Hannah's a good player but she doesn't seem to possess those little nuances/savvy instincts, such as when to pump fake, etc. Really, the same can be said of all of our bigs. They all seem a bit...

Much like Nebraska, you have to give IU props. Iowa is always going to get the best effort from the opponent. The question is - outside of CC and Martin (who always have the intensity....) - will the team match that effort level? They failed to do so in both of those games. As I stated above...

They need to stop worrying about what the officials are doing and lock in. Too much whining. Also, much like the 2nd half of the Nebraska game, they need to match the intensity and physicality. Too much standing and staring, and not enough instant reaction.

Franek can be frustrating, but I think he will end up an AA. If (and it's a big if) Teske wrestles the way he wrestled Saturday, he would have a very good chance. He's a completely different wrestler when he's aggressive and dictates pace. I like Rathjen's, Caliendo's and Kennedy's chances but...

$400.000 amplifier for "normal" human beings... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQ3lxFU3LZc Then there's this for the Elon Musks and Jeff Bezos' of the world. Only about $2,000,000: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NnXpUqh44Vc

Started to look into getting back into vinyl a few years ago, and still might if I can figure out where to set up the equipment in our new house. What struck me in the process of looking is that "audiophile vinyl enthusiasts" has become basically a cult. We are talking about people that are...
