    Can Commissioner Warren ever recover from this mess?

    Kevin Warren has displayed absolutely no leadership on this whatsoever. The ACC, SEC, and Big 12 commissioners have been working towards playing football all spring and summer. Warren has not, and this is obvious. Warren released a schedule one week as a an empty token of positivity then...

    Hawkeye Lose Three Historic Giants During Last Nine Months

    After the season you referred to Iowa went 9 straight years winning 20+, 9 straight dances, 2 elite eights, and 1 final four. I'd say she set the tone! Stringers last season was her only losing season at Iowa.

    Hawkeye Lose Three Historic Giants During Last Nine Months

    Two coaches not mentioned in the article: Vivian Stringer hired by Bump in 1983. Took the womens hoops program to a final four in 1993. Won 78% of her games at Iowa over 12 years. Gayle Blevins was hired in 1987. 16 NCAA tourneys, 4 CWS appearances, 5 B1G championships, 2 B1G tourney...

    January to end of February 2021 football for BIG?

    Not gonna happen. NFL draft prospects will opt out and get ready for the draft, the idea of playing 23 games in one year is ludicrous, not to mention the next NBA season and college basketball will likely have started by then so lots of competition. NFL playoffs anyone? I don't think Kevin...

    Poll: If Jim Delaney Was Still The BIG Commissioner Are They Playing Football This Fall?

    All these commissioners know football keeps the lights on at the AD and conference level. I do think we would be moving forward with football because Delany was the first conference commissioner to take the bold steps of building up the conference and AD coffers in the Big Ten (BTN) and he sure...

    Report: B1G Cancels Fall Football Season

    Yeah so I have a problem with Mrs. Walker's post being used to rationalize a horrible decision. It's heartwarming, it puts things into perspective. It feels good. I get all that. But the SEC and ACC have been aware of this for months and have actually been testing for Myocarditis for months...

    Big 12 to play fall football

    They aren't deciding the fate of college football. The SEC is, and to a smaller extent the ACC. They are the two conferences who have seemingly been most in favor of playing this fall. You correctly stated the Big 12 is probably the weakest of the P5 conferences so whatever happens they are...

    Big 12 to play fall football

    https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/29642207/big-12-move-forward-plans-fall-football-season-source-says Anyone think the Big 12 caught wind that the SEC was courting Texas and Oklahoma to play in the SEC this season? That's what I have read in multiple places. Big 12 can't afford...

    Report: B1G Cancels Fall Football Season

    Either way there were probably alot of ways to go forward safely and 6 months to figure it out and this is the decision these supposedly smart people come up with. Just looking out for themselves.

    Report: B1G Cancels Fall Football Season

    If there is no football, there is no basketball either. Just saying. And that means no NCAAT either. 2 straight years of no dance, no college football (don't think for a second that CFB will play in the spring), financial Armageddon has arrived. 6 months to figure this out and this is what...

    Are you personally worried about getting the Coronavirus?

    No I am not worried. Most people will get it or already do have it and don't know. Those will strong immune systems will be able to fight it off easier, those who do not will have issues. But that is the case with most viruses. Frankly, the silver lining of getting the virus is your body can...

    Sporting News National POY goes to????

    Depends on who you ask. I think you would get mixed responses.

    Sporting News National POY goes to????

    NPOY should be Garza and it shouldn't be close. Toppin is a great player who puts on a show but his stats fall short of Garza's and does not play the competition Garza does. Garza put up his numbers in the toughest conference in america against both good and bad competition and has 15 in a row...

    If this guy plays the part he looks in that picture then that will definitely take the sting off losing Foster to Lames.

    Your 2019-2020 prediction for Iowa

    If you create a hybrid between your Best and Average case, that is an average season under Fran. 20-22 wins, 1 win in the BTT, NIT or low seed in NCAAT, 1 NIT or NCAAT win. In fact, aside from the Lickliter years, that is Iowa basketball since 1987 pretty much.

    As the B10 bracket looks now...

    I was actually referring to the game at Carver last month when Iowa had a dry spell the last 10 min of the first half. I forgot about the Lincoln disaster.

    As the B10 bracket looks now...

    Well I don't think I set a record. You fixated on my first sentence in which I admittedly short-changed Franny. He is 4-9 in the BTT, still hardly impressive. Iowa has been an 11,7,7, and 10 seed in the dance. That averages out to an 8 or 9. I was pretty accurate on that one. If the season...

    As the B10 bracket looks now...

    Fran has one win in this tournament in 10 years? Maybe 2? I'll take Minnesota against NW and Iowa. I pray I am wrong but I just don't see Iowa making a run here. It seems like this season is right on schedule for a typical Fran season at Iowa. Start off well, work up in the rankings, play...

    Really, Hawks?

    Maybe. If we lose ONLY Kreiner and Evelyn and bring back Bohannon for his last season then yes it has the potential to be something special. POTENTIAL. I thought Dev Marble's senior season when Fran had his best team to that point was going to be special. We ended it having to play an...

    Really, Hawks?

    No one should be surprised. Iowa averages less than 20 wins per season under Fran and we are at 20 now. We will lose at Illinois and will probably lose in the first round of the BTT. Why? Because this is how Iowa Basketball under Fran has gone. A couple of times there has been exciting...
