    Will Caitlin Clark be the most famous Iowan ever?

    You know, a week ago, I was 100% in agreement with this post. But, I'm starting to wonder if The Show is just moving on. Indiana Fever sold out their season tickets. Well that was a bit a a yo! to me because my family has been to WNBA games and many a time they are lucky to have 200 fans in...

    WNBA draft guide

    I definitely agree that the WNBA needs Clark more than Clark needs the WNBA. Though I haven't done research too deep into the financial workings of the WNBA, here are things I've heard in passing about them. They are still owned by the NBA. The NBA runs them at a loss for a variety of...

    Washington 2024 schedule

    I just don't see how good things can happen to Washington in 2024. Not only did they somehow end up with a road schedule of games to Autzen, Happy Valley, and Kinnick, but now they are down to 4 starters returning. Their schedule is just brutal with so many new faces. I know Jedd Fisch did a...

    Kirk vs. National Championship Coaches

    Also... 8 is an exceptionally high number. I really doubt anyone else is near 8. Though there were a bevy of SEC coaches to win one, their carriers were short and the coaches that coached against them for the most part even had shorter careers.

    Kirk vs. National Championship Coaches

    Steve Spurrier at the Outback Bowl is one I forgot about. Lloyd Carr was definitely beat in 2002. And I already have Tressel. I refuse to acknowledge the Frost "championship." I'll modify my original post.

    Kirk vs. National Championship Coaches

    You can tell it's February because here comes some boring trivia. I count Kirk as having wins against 8 coaches that won a national championship: Harbaugh, Sabin, Meyer, Chizik, Tressel, Spurrier, Carr and Paterno. First off, did I miss anyone and am I accurate in the 8 I listed? Second...

    Candidates for the OC position

    I really don't see how Scott Frost fits into the decades long amount of complementary football that KF has preached. Frost's offense has miles of penalty yards, turns over the ball at an alarming rate, has mountains of players in the portal every year, and is seemingly incapable of winning a...

    Social media sites reporting rumors DeJean is out for the season

    The thing I was looking forward to the most of the 2024 off season was watching Cooper DeJean absolutely slay the Underwear Olympics in Indianapolis. It's just hard not to be proud of the 2023 team. Just about every team would have mailed in this season long ago. I hope they can pull it...

    ILLINOIS `23

    It's real hard for me to evaluate the Northwestern game. These baseball stadiums are just awful. Both Iowa and Northwestern left with a ton of lineman injuries. Even Tory Taylor can't punt there. It's not like Northwestern and Iowa are offensive juggernauts to start with, but when you make...

    With 3 games left - lets speculate

    Well, who knew that the back-up Center and Guards were going to be able to not give up chunks of negative plays? Who knew that we were going to finally get Kaleb Brown involved in the offense? Who knew that there would be a massive focus on play stealing in the B1G and that all of a sudden...

    Unranked in the AP Poll

    There are just a lot of haters in the media about Iowa. Some examples of teams ranked in the AP poll: Utah: 7-3. doesn't have a win against a current top 25 team. Tulane 9-1. has beaten their last 3 opponents (Rice, East Carolina, Tulsa) by a combined 7 points James Madison 10-0. Does have...

    Questionable Call

    There is the bit in the refs pre-game meeting where Kirk clarified the motion. I really don’t know how you can say this is a letter of the law event when the head coach sought clarification before the game.
