    Saban Calls Out NIL Abuse

    Sounds like our politicians today. Every politician can point out a problem but only a couple of them can propose any realistic solutions to the problem.

    Early point spreads

    Only a few of the seniors are still there from the 2017 Iowa win. And the coaching staff has all changed.

    B1G records vs winning teams (10 year window)

    Then I guess Michigan is going to have a heck of a QB then because their coach has absolutely no prior experience as a QB coach and never even attended a college football practice.

    Speraw retiring

    And that's bad how? Connor can D up on multiple positions and as a coach he can impart that experience. I just get a little tired of the Negative Nancy's that post on this forum. I've got enough negativity going on in my life (just had my left foot amputated, so now I have metal feet) which...

    Connor McCaffery Announces Return for 6th Season

    I see what you did there.... ;) But seriously, you are correct. There is a LOT more to basketball that scoring points. The offense has to flow for the good shooters to get the ball in their hands at their spots in order to BE good shooters. Every offense needs "glue" players. Players who give...

    Who went to spring scrimmage and what are the big news items

    My thought is that YES, Iowa's offense is much more difficult for the QB and the offensive edge players. How many other offenses in the Big 10 (or in all of the NCAA for that matter) have the offense line up and then all skill positions and most linemen look to the sideline for the play...

    Big Man Iowa Contacted

    Just curious as to why you think he would skip over Windows 95, 98 and 2000 to go directly to Windows XP?

    Here may be what you don't get. Check out the dates for men's basketball. https://www.ncsasports.org/ncaa-eligibility-center/recruiting-rules/recruiting-calendar The end of the final recruiting period was April 28. Ash was awarded a scholarship on May 7, well after the end of the recruiting...

    Josh Ogundele in the transfer portal

    No. In that game, defensive stops were at a premium as the shooting percentages for both teams were low. And we had trouble getting stops consistently.

    Josh Ogundele in the transfer portal

    I would disagree with the line I bolded. We played 10 guys, but apparently Ulis didn't even play a full minute. So 9 guys played. The problem was our bench, which usually contributes quite a bit, was 3-16 from the field and 0-10 from three point range, contributing only 7 points. Having a 12th...

    Brian Ferentz Feels Prepared for Expanded Role

    How do you think Mississippi State or Nebraska feel? Their QB coaches didn't even play college football. Leach played rugby in college (at BYU) and Verduzco didn't play any sport in college. Or maybe you'd feel better if we had a college punter for a QB coach, you know... like Michigan.

    Josh Ogundele in the transfer portal

    He may have had offers from D3 schools, but NCAA D3 does not allow any sports scholarships. Academic scholarships? Sure. But not sports scholarships

    Keegan Murray Enters Name in NBA Draft

    Yeah, dropping to 20 would be absolutely AWFUL.... 2022 NBA Rookie scale contract for pick #20: Year 1: $2,216,300 Year 2: $2,327,100 Year 3: $2,437,900 Year 4: $3,759,242 I can't figure out how anyone can live on a measly $2 million + per year.

    Brian is the new QB coach

    Just to remind everyone that you don't have to play the position you are coaching, here's a list of P5 quarterback coaches who didn't play quarterback in college. This list is likely incomplete. Mike Leach - Mississippi St (did not play college football) Jeff Lebby - Ole Miss (injury forced him...

    He may also want to go home to play basketball. After all, Greece pays the least for pro salaries and they are higher than G league salaries. And in many other leagues in Europe, he could make the minimum which is at least 6 figures.

    Keegan thinking about coming back?

    Overstating how? You do realize that the top 9 rookies drafted all made over $20 million and the entire first round all made over $10 million. Nothing to sneeze at.

    No. The Murray twins graduated from CR Prairie. With only a Western Illinois offer and with their dad's help, they went to DME Academy in what would have been their college freshman year. The twins are 21 right now (my age when I graduated from college) and will be 22 in August.

    To play Devil's Advocate, Sven Nater didn't start a game in college and averaged 3 points and 3 rebounds a game (backup to Bill Walton), yet had a 12 year pro career in the ABA and the NBA. Only player to lead both leagues in rebounding.

    22? When the season starts this year he will be 25. (From the Hawkeye web site, it states his birthday is 9/3/97)

    ESPN on why Iowa keeps failing in NCAAs

    It all boils down to the fact that when Iowa can't get transition baskets, we are a jump shooting team. Sometimes jump shots go in and sometimes they clang. Against Richmond, they clanged. Yes, the game was physical; yes, they mugged us on D (which the refs across the NCAA tournament have...
