    Hawkeyes Past, Present, Future Share Feelings on Racial Injustice

    If you're just learning this now, you must live in a very isolated area. I grew up in a very isolated area but learned within my first day of college how racist this country is. Every day since has only confirmed that belief.

    Hawkeyes Past, Present, Future Share Feelings on Racial Injustice

    And this is why there will always be a massive racial divide in this country between white and black. In order to make change you have to have honest conversations. In order to do that you must be willing to offend people on the other side and be willing to be offended and not act like a child...

    Best sporting event/venue

    US Bank and TCF are very comfortable with many options available depending on the money you want to spend. I also liked Raymond James Stadium and Miami Stadium (think it was Landshark Stadium when I went) Lambeau reminded me of Kinnick if it had an incredible concourse and club seating above...

    George Kittle Contract Negotiations

    I'm guessing they'll pick up the 5th year option in 2021 on his rookie contract and franchise tags for 2022 and 2023 (roughly 11 million per season which is a steal for the 49ers). He'll turn 30 early in 2023 season. And that will probably be the end of his time in SF

    Last Dance - Random Thought

    College basketball didn't even have a shot clock when Jordan played. It wasn't instituted until the 1985-1986 season.

    Will We Have Football in the Fall?

    The secondary market will be very interesting this fall. Usually you have a fairly good idea of price range you're going to pay for seats at Kinnick, TCF, or Camp Randall. This fall who knows? Completely unpredictable.

    Will We Have Football in the Fall?

    No they have to move forward. And everyone should understand that. It sucks for many. My father hasn't been able to attend a game in Kinnick since 2017 because the steps don't have a railing and are way too steep for him. He just didn't feel safe going up or down those things anymore. But we...

    If You Could Only Have 1 Hawkeye Sport in '20-21

    Basketball is also centered around a 3 week period in March. You can have a great season and take a dump in the first round of the tournament. Leaves a bad taste in your month. Or you could squeak into the tournament as a 10 seed and find yourself in an OT game for the Sweet 16. No hesitation...

    If You Could Only Have 1 Hawkeye Sport in '20-21

    If Iowa goes to the B1G championship game with 1 loss, they would be 1 win away on the final weekend of the college football season from having a strong case for a playoff spot. 1 loss B1G champions are always going to get serious consideration, regardless of the season. In 2020, a 1 loss Iowa...

    If You Could Only Have 1 Hawkeye Sport in '20-21

    Easy question for me. Football. The basketball team would have to do something it hasn't ever proven it can do under Fran, particularly in the postseason. Play sound defense needed to make a run in the NCAA tournament. They haven't even shown they can play good enough D to make a run in the B1G...

    Howe: Ranking the Big Ten Football Stadiums

    Yep. That NW game was pretty cold and it was so windy as anyone who's ever been to Kinnick has experienced that in November. I bundled up for that game more than I ever have and it didn't matter. All told it took about 3 and half hours to get from the parking lot back to CF. And I couldn't get...

    DJK is a college coach

    I'll never forget his last game against Minnesota when he and Coker were the only guys who looked like they cared. I had no idea he was a coach. Good luck to him going forward.

    Howe: Ranking the Big Ten Football Stadiums

    That was brutal. That game and the NW game in 1996 were the worst weather games I've been to for the opposite reasons. And in both games we stayed until the bitter end.

    Will We Have Football in the Fall?

    Do you think the NCAA fears the possibility of the P5 conferences joining together and leaving? Particularly in the scenario of the NCAA stepping and telling conferences/schools what to do?

    Howe: Ranking the Big Ten Football Stadiums

    Minnesota is the nicest college football stadium that I've been to by a wide margin in terms of comfort. Atmosphere doesn't compare other venues but a very good place to watch a game in and they sell beer.

    Top Tackle Target Beau Stephens Enjoying Tight Bond with Iowa

    I throw in OL production as well. Iowa has produced some great individuals but have had very few good OL units over the last decade. Even their best recent OL 2015/2016 got CJ killed because they couldn't pass block.

    Will We Have Football in the Fall?

    I wouldn't mind spring football but not a lot of schools have heating systems underneath the playing surface. Minnesota is the only one I know of. And fields may still be frozen as hell in March. Could be very difficult to keep playing surfaces in good shape at that time of year. That would be...

    Will We Have Football in the Fall?

    Good topic. My thoughts are contingent on things staying status quo: No widespread treatment available and wide spread testing hasn't proven that we've all already had it. If one of those things do happen my thought process changes quite a bit. I think the conference season will be played...
