    CJ Frederick

    CJ could have been a key wingman for Keegan this year and really shined. He instead ditched us for a team with 6 or 7 Keegan level guys (all fighting over the same ball!) UK wouldn't have touched CJ with a 10 ft pole outta HS, but were happy to pick him up now in reaction to some poor 3 pt...

    Bold Prediction

    The big problem for any Big Ten West team is beating OSU when OSU is giving their undivided attention (as would be the case in the Big Ten Championship game w/the CFP on the line). It's a tall task, no one in the West is even in the same zip code for talent.

    Game thread UMKC

    Looks like maybe a bit of a rough shooting night for the Hawks - 4/16 from 3. Really having to work hard to not buy BTN+.

    Oh, good news!

    Weiskamp officially gone

    Luka has been sent to the G League. He's playing well and Detroit fans are clamoring to see him back up in the big league.

    Will Fleck get his third unsportsmanlike penalty in 3 years running on to the field against the hawks

    He is obnoxious. I'll get some serious shit for this, but I actually felt bad for Fitz last week. He got a 15 yd called on him that really hurt them and you could read his face like a book. You could tell he felt awful. Terribly officiated game too, btw. I was actually surprised we didn't...

    Alt uniforms for Minny

    Lol, I had this exact thought in the car the other day. It was a bad move and now they're stuck with it.

    More Lil Debbie delusion

    Agree. If they can clean up mistakes, their '22 schedule sets up in such a way to hit a (relatively) high W count. Trev will look like a genius.

    SIAP: Would you whether have a top high powered offense or defense?

    Yeah, I watched quite a bit of the game before I even noticed it was natural grass! Kinda nice, a bit of a throwback. The modern fake grass seems to be really good stuff, but there's something kind of neat about seeing the game as it was meant to be. Also made me wonder if NW perhaps sees...

    Current Massey ratings of Iowa's schedule

    Just an interesting (maybe?) perspective: Wins: Indiana #63 - 34-6 Iowa St #15 - 27-17 Kent St #96 - 30-7 Colorado St #85 - 24-14 Maryland #59 - 51-14 Penn St #13 - 23-30 Northwestern #75 - 17-12 Losses: Purdue #19 - 7-24 Wisconsin #9 - 7-27 TBD: Minnesota #25 Illinois #61 Nebraska #35...

    SIAP: Would you whether have a top high powered offense or defense?

    Yeah, Iowa's tackling was uncharacteristically bad in the NW game.

    Watching Me Some Ballin Tonight

    At the risk of re-starting the endless JBo debates from last season...I don't think the Bohannon of yore ever really went anywhere. Last year he was on a roster with, literally, the greatest player in program history (who led the universe in scoring) and Wieskamp (who, if not for Garza, would...

    Watching Me Some Ballin Tonight

    Good win. Blew out a cream puff, played a deep rotation, and came away injury free (assuming Connor's ankle is only a minor hurdle). Longwood came out and really competed for 40 minutes. Give them props, not all low major type teams do that in these situations, but Iowa matched the intensity...

    Iowa #20 in new college football playoff rankings

    It's in the ballpark, I think. Let's see if the OL can make any strides over the next couple weeks, we might just make it stick.

    PSU may be without LB Sean Lee

    Oh, huh, yeah - shows how closely I follow the NFL, he went on to be a solid player for the Cowboys. A couple Pro Bowls. Interesting side note that Sean Lee came from the same Pittsburgh HS that Ferentz did - Upper St. Clair. Sean Casey (former Reds slugger) and Todd Haley (former Chiefs head...

    PSU may be without LB Sean Lee

    Ha, well played! I saw the thread title and thought, "hasn't Penn St been without Sean Lee for, like, a decade or longer?" I think he went on to play for the Cowboys, IIRC.

    Frost will be back next year (with major staff changes)

    Here is a snapshot of the UCF seasons around Frost's tenure. Personal opinion: too much was made of what Frost did there. I'm not saying he's not a good coach. Going undefeated at any level of football is going to take good coaching. But it was sold to us as a miraculous turnaround - if you...

    Frost will be back next year (with major staff changes)

    I think this is a very reasonable take. I've followed Nebraska from afar (with a clothespin on my nose) this year, sounds like you have too. 1. They've played a tough schedule 2. They've got some talent 3. You can't say that, on the whole, they've played poorly 4. They have had a lot of close...

    Heads rolling today....

    I normally like your takes UI, but the problem is the same merry band of dorks will be back next year trotting out the same tired tropes (well, in the meantime, a bunch of them will be spouting similar nonsense on the hoops board). So, no, the ideas won't be "cleared out at the end of the...

    Heads rolling today....

    Jesus H Christ, Fry is absolutely on fire today. Well done, sir! I'll just chime in and say it's not about being head over heels in love with Kirk and Brian. Brian as our OC...yeah, I'm not sold either. He's pulled some boners, I've seen them too. This is simply a matter of understanding...
