    Howe: Not Easy Picking Starting Five for Iowa Basketball

    I'm more interested in who Fran will pick to be his closing 5 in relatively close games. As Rob noted in his article about the non-brainer starters: LG, CJ, & JW are pretty much locks to play the crunch time minutes unless they've fouled out. With a team with this many potential options that...

    Press Releases from Iowa Football, Big Ten

    When looking at scheduling the additional game, a balanced quality of the East division crossovers for West teams was clearly not considered.

    10-game conference only 2020 schedule idea

    Assuming this schedule holds until the spring, Minnesota who already had the easiest crossover games adds a home game vs Indiana. Wisconsin who already has the 2nd easiest crossovers and they add a home game vs Rutgers.

    Minnesota WR Rashod Bateman Opts Out of Season

    He still has Autman-Bell and Douglas who were pretty good as their 3&4 WRs last year. And they got a 4* FR too. Fleck has done such a good job upgrading the skill position talent there. But losing 2 of the top 5 WRs in the B1G is a killer. The key for Morgan will be what he does when teams...

    TCU

    You would think that a white coach would choose his words carefully when addressing black players these days. Using the N word is pretty much the opposite of choosing words wisely. Still need to hear from the coach here but damn.

    Badgers Picked To Win The West Again

    This is the only chance for college football to remain as we currently know it.

    Badgers Picked To Win The West Again

    All fair points to a logical adult. But we're not talking about logical adults. We're talking about emotional 18-22 year olds who feel they're being taken advantage of. I did see that one Pac 12 player acknowledged that and basically said he's just going to deal with it. It would also been...

    Badgers Picked To Win The West Again

    Yeah it may have to come to that. That's why the NCAA may need to go bye-bye. They are still under this out of date thinking that student athletes in revenue sports are just like regular students. The P5 may need to separate and start treating athletes as still students but also need to find a...

    Badgers Picked To Win The West Again

    Probably not but I just want to talk sports. Even if its fantasy land sports. College football could be at a tipping point. It won't survive as is. Players are clearly tired of being the product people are paying to see yet not getting paid. Add in the fact that most of the unpaid people are...

    Australian Punter Tory Taylor's Hawkeye Arrival in Holding Pattern

    Its actually impressive that he was able to do that low trajectory rugby kick but somehow get it to stop on the first bounce and die right there. Sometimes he could even get to come back toward him. Truly the most unintentionally amazing kicking I've ever seen. Skilled punters who kick...

    External Report Looking into Racial Bias in Iowa Football Released

    This is from vocabulary.com regarding what a columnist is. A columnist writes regularly for a newspaper or magazine, usually expressing opinions or commentary. A columnist might write an article endorsing a candidate for president one week, and a story about a terrible local fire the next week...

    Hawkeyes Suspend Workouts after Positive COVID-19 Tests

    And don't forget Illinois returns a ton of production as well and probably the best backcourt player in the league pair with a talented inside player. While I'm excited about a potential season I think some fans need to ease up on this top 10/B1G Championship/Final 4 talk. All of the teams you...

    Australian Punter Tory Taylor's Hawkeye Arrival in Holding Pattern

    Look no further than 2017. Iowa lost yardage nearly every time they exchanged punts with their opponent. When you lost 3 extremely close games and another tight game, that is a huge factor. 1990 is another example. They had trouble getting punts off that season.

    Badgers Picked To Win The West Again

    Their name must still hold some weight in media circles. And they do have a QB that is pretty good when healthy. But that hasn't been often. But a good QB is half the battle in the West. In 2018 Northwestern won the West with a good QB and a stingy, sometimes smoke & mirrors D. I can see...

    Howe: New Iowa Football Report Nothing to Celebrate

    No victory lap when the program has been embarrassed like its been recently. Yesterday was not a vindication of KF or anyone else. Just tune into ESPN or FS1 and their bottom line has the negative lowlights of the report. Thats is what is getting the national play right now. Some people will...

    '18 Athletic Department Study Showed Serious Racial Bias in Iowa Football

    Very good article was posted today. Scott interviewed Jordan Lomax about the troubles going on within the program. Very interesting piece about how some players tried to keep concerns internal because they didn't want to hurt the program or the coaches but finally got to a point when they...
