    Doyle, BF, and KF, at a minimum, are gone. Lots of buyers, maybe, but the product on the field won't be so great.

    Howe: Hawkeyes Should Be Allowed to Peacefully Protest During Anthem

    Let's not confuse things. The REAL person who suggested Kaep kneel was his girlfriend. The REAL reason he started doing it is because he lost his starting job. I'm all for his rights, but let's at least be intellectually honest. Like Candace Owens said of George Floyd, it's terrible what...

    Hawkeyes Past, Present, Future Share Feelings on Racial Injustice

    Again, I think my feelings on Cosby was about personal perception and fandom. FWIW, my wife was shocked when the charges came out. But...she actually also though Janice Dickinson was believable and credible! I swear, if my wife wasn't hot, I'd disown her. OK, if she wasn't hot and wasn't...

    Hawkeyes Past, Present, Future Share Feelings on Racial Injustice

    Unfortunately,this is one of those times where we all look at "the system", and ask, "What the hell? WHAT system?!" Chauvin's wife NOW wants a divorce? Other cops stood by? I got a better shot at understanding why the castaways never got off Gilligan's Island than I do of understanding WTF...

    Hawkeyes Past, Present, Future Share Feelings on Racial Injustice

    It's a shitty analogy. What happened to George Floyd would not happen to Lebron James. You're comparing "racial" privilege to "economic" privilege. Do you think OJ Simpson was guilty? What about Kobe Bryant? In each case, economics gave them access to legal defense that the average person...

    Many see what you are talking about as "white guilt". To keep saying people "must" acknowledge unconscious bias and white privilege can sound pretty arrogant. As to the African repatriation comments, do some research. There are, and have been, Smseveral organizations that seek U.S. reparations...

    Hawkeyes Past, Present, Future Share Feelings on Racial Injustice

    Living in Orlando, I saw Casey Anthony get charged with 1st-degree murder. No video, for a while no body, and no "for certain" actual cause of death. Thus, I am confused as to why only 3rd-degree murder and 2nd-degree manslaughter. Oh, and over a supposed $20 counterfeit bill? And he had...

    Will We Have Football in the Fall?

    Oh, it's absolutely fascinating. Look at the 2023 and 2024 schedules. Think the Iowa City Chamber of Commerce doesn't look at those and go, "Oh, f**k, another two-season stretch with crap-all for home games?!" People look and see, at first glance/react with, "Well, there's Wiscy and/or...

    Will We Have Football in the Fall?

    Which is why I think conference games will be full attendance. But it may just become a conference-by-conference, or maybe even NCAA, mandate. If individual schools make the decision, we will see a cluster-F on a level not yet seen in human history.

    How Hawkeyes Have Rebounded Nicely from Forgettable Finish in '14

    One thing not talked about is the tragedy of losing a child/grandchild just before the 2014 season. That HAD to factor into that season in terms of focus, both from a staff and player standpoint.

    IIRC Stanzi and Stanley only to win 3 bowls, another one coming??

    Uh, La Tech or Akron may be your G5 rep in NY6, so that post is a total non-starter.

    IIRC Stanzi and Stanley only to win 3 bowls, another one coming??

    Steve Deace had an interesting view on the bowls as a result of all the panic. He basically said NY6, plus good bowls, plus "good destination" bowls were probably still in play. But, places like NYC, Boston, Detroit, and Boise were probably, along with bowls with international travel involved...

    Will We Have Football in the Fall?

    What will be interesting is how schools handle "certain" games. Think O$U vs. Michigan will be played at half-capacity? And what about Army-Navy? That would be too weird seeing those games with limited capacity. But, they do come at end of regular season, when some schools will have already sent...

    Will We Have Football in the Fall?

    What about food/drink sales, merchandise, etc? Plus organizations that have tables/booths? And media? It could be a fun time in athletic departments the next few months. Or not.

    How do they plan to draw an extra 10,000 people? They play the Hawks in Iowa City this year.

    Meanwhile, a high school coach in Florida is suspended for holding practices DURING THE LOCKDOWN! Sorry, that guy needs to be FIRED, not "suspended". That is downright abuse. https://www.espn.com/espn/story/_/id/29214009/florida-state-champion-coach-suspended-team-allegedly-practices-pandemic

    Who Was Your Favorite Hawkeye that Things Didn't Work Out in Playing Time

    The Nate Gerry hit was called for one reason, and one reason only: the second he went down, Tevaun reached up to his helmet. Even the Nebraska medical staff bolted onto the field since they were a lot closer to him. If they were allowed to review based on "result", that may have been overturned...
