Sometimes you just have to give credit where credit is due. Becht was easily the best QB on the field in the second half, and (as usual) ISU had the better WRs. That 30-yard play was perfectly executed. Yes, Becht was staring down Noel, but on an out-and-up that's the whole point. The play was...

This is not only true, but applicable to any medical decision that you make - vaccine, medication, surgery, etc. The reality is that any healthcare decision a patient makes has a "benefit versus risk" component. That includes the decision to do nothing at all. It's a conversation that I...

That's hilarious, especially for those of us who have toiled through the whole process. Here's one that I'm still not sure if it's real or not. If a parody, they put a hell of amount of work into it. Kudos to them in that case...

Very interesting and surprisingly civil discussion. As has been thoroughly and correctly pointed out, numerous primarily retrospective studies have been completed, including the meta-analysis above, showing no statistically significant difference in autism rates amongst children who received or...

It may have been AI, but if I recall, there was a snapshot of him holding pictures of signals standing next to Harbaugh. There's also numerous pictures of him walking around the sidelines holding a large stack of papers.

If I were to guess, I would surmise that Moulton has shown more ability as a receiver out of the backfield. It sounds like Lester is planning on implementing that much more with his offense, and I'm sure he emphasizes it when putting together the two-deeps.

Really proud of Spencer. He has been on an absolute tear but ran into a very talented Japanese wrestler in the gold medal match. They were very evenly matched and it could have gone either way. Japan has really stepped up these Olympics. The US men's team has disappointed somewhat but the...

I recall watching some of his tape and he jumps off the screen at times. He's got more "twitch" than many would expect. It will be interesting to see how Phil uses him moving forward.

I'm cautiously optimistic. For the most part, if healthy, the pieces are there. Barnett and the offensive line will have no excuses this year, and, other than WR (where there are a lot of unknowns), the skill positions talent and depth are fairly solid. What will take time is the scheme...

I tend to agree here. I do believe that Kirk restricts the offense to a degree with his overall philosophy, but the idea that he oversees the position in some kind of a tyrannical control-freak fashion has been way overblown. It makes for good message board fodder. As correctly pointed out...

I could see Derek Weiskopf carving out a role on ST as well.

FWIW, the word from one of the parents is that it was academics.

I forgot to mention in my post that I was glad to see Rob include Llewellyn amongst his five. I think he is a big break-out candidate this season. He doesn't get much press, but by the end of the season he may end up being one of Iowa's most impactful players if he stays healthy.

Maybe. Hard to say. Fatigue no doubt can factor in. As someone who's game was mostly behind the line back in the day, I can say there are times where you have to evaluate your mechanics to get back on track. Golf is a good analogy - even the best have to tweak their mechanics at times when they...

Good write-up. McNamara obviously is the biggest X-factor this season (probably the biggest X-factor Iowa football has had coming into a season for many years...). I will say, even if Cade plays well, I hope the staff will find ways to get the back-ups more reps during the season compared to...

Knopfler doesn't get enough credit. Excellent guitarist that can blend all kinds of styles - blues, reggae, honkytonk, jazz. I'm still partial to their debut album. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6YyZ2ODQMA&list=PL5LlGBkh2rZN-GLWBO4c6Bb3paqOAxHm7&index=7

Caitlin struggles with the threes when she flattens her arc. It's something I noticed early in her Iowa career, and her shot has been quite flat recently. It should be fairly easy to trace her makes versus misses on video. Hopefully, one of the team's analysts points it out to her. I'm sure...

To be fair and objective, lets look at the exact words here, and put it in the context of what at the time was a scientific community scrambling with ideas on how to best manage the virus during a nationwide panic (six weeks into the pandemic). Trump had invited William Bryan, undersecretary...

Not sure why I would dip my toes in this pond, but sadly threads such as this - as a microcosm - remind me of everything that is wrong with this country right now. People have passionately and stubbornly dug their heals in to such a degree, that the concept of meaningful discourse and well...
