And I am one of those who was a big proponent. I was thinking of more of a autographs/pictures/appearance fee/jersey sales type of stuff which I believe those players have a right to. But the deal in place is much broader. A player has a breakout FR year and signs a sponsorship deal with a...

A lot of fun posts here but here is one of the more serious side. Obviously a lot of young players are going to gain a lot of power which could put coaches in extremely difficult situations.

I for one like the 2020 schedule. Kirk seems to coach better when he feels his back is against the wall. And with this murderers' row he will be on a weekly basis. But like most other years, if Iowa takes care of business in the West, they'll be fine even if they lose to PSU and OSU.

Hopefully like in the early 2000s the NFL stands firm on their eligibility rules. And the NFLPA would also have to get on board knowing that a lot of guys in the late 20s and early 30s would suddenly be out of a job in favor of young, cheaper, more athletic players. While I understand the...

Is the US testing fruit, motor oil, and goats as well? Apparently coronavirus doesn't discriminate against those things either.

Only 60 guys get drafted and probably 7-10 will be SR so roughly 75% of the guys on that list will not be drafted.

He also was not a fan of TD's substitution patterns. He mentioned its hard to get in a rhythm of a game when you're always going in and out. But it was pretty clear he was a "me" guy throughout his college and NBA career. Although its interesting that he continued playing after his NBA career...

I don't agree with putting a cap on how many 5 or 4 star players a team can have. You can't punish good coaches and recruiters even though there are clearly inherent advantages at a handful of programs. But just ask Michigan, Tennessee, Nebraska, USC, & Miami. It takes a lot more than a big...

Hopefully Nate gets cut by the Vikings early in training camp and then gets picked up by a better franchise and eventually becomes their starter.

They did mention the key point in that article. Iowa ranked 12 of 14 in adjusted D in the conference. That has to go up for them to actually have a chance at living up to that ranking. If they continue to play defense like they have since MG & Woodbury left, they'll be about right where they...

Great landing spot for Wirfs. Good for him

So glad Wirfs didn't go to that mess in Cleveland.

I saw that. And then it soared the Tuesday and Wednesday. I think it almost hit 3,000 on Tuesday. Same thing happened a few weeks back. There were a couple days where the numbers looked to be leveling off a bit and then it jumps up.

That's why I worry about TJ. There are a few franchises where careers die far quicker than normal. Detroit, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Oakland used to be one of them as well. We'll see if that trend continues in Vegas. Speaking of those franchises, this is the time of year that those franchises...

I still remember being so nervous for this game. They had crushed Iowa in Kinnick a year earlier. But Iowa made short work of them and the following season won a thriller in Iowa City over an underachieving Illinois team. But that late 80s - mid 90s was a bizarre stretch for this rivalry...

The interesting and potentially very funny aspect of the conference only type of season is that what happens to Notre Dame? How great would it be if the P5 conferences got together and said, we're playing conference games only starting on this date followed by the conference championship weekend?

Harmon hardly pissed away a pro career. He played for 11 years and was pretty good 3rd down RB. I think he had 9,000 career yards from scrimmage and 30+ TDs. Like Dwight, he was born a few decades too early. Those guys would thrive in today's game.

As you mentioned, Garza won't survive in the NBA without playing good pick and roll defense. He probably wouldn't survive in the G-League without it. You have to be an outstanding offensive NBA level player to offset that deficiency. I would also say his footwork, while already good, probably...

I agree with this but Cryst and Leonard are very good at what they do. They very good at identifying their opponents weaknesses and attacking them and identifying strengths and limiting them. They won the West because they did something to Minnesota that only Iowa also had success with and...
