That is a really good approach if you want someone in house to take over. We have seen numerous examples recently: Wisconsin BB coach, Stoops to Riley, even Bluder to Jensen.

Iowa had a lot of NFL offensive talent through the first 4 years of BF's tenure. Wirfs Linderbaum A. Jackson Kallenberger (I will go to my grave believing he would have been a multi year NFL starter had he kept playing) Hock Fant ISM B. Smith T. Goodson Tracy Stanley Iowa mostly managed to...

This sounds like another case study in the negative impact of power without checks and balances. He felt emboldened to behave how he wanted, and it took something like this to ever question his approach. With more accountability forced upon him along the way, he could have figured that out at...

https://twitter.com/DArrington73/status/1845162282134729127 I love L. Jones' response after driving the dude into the stands...knows full well he is getting a penalty, never even looks back, just runs back to the huddle with a determined look on his face.

I think we can all agree, Penn State deserves a swift kick to the balls for this: https://www.thegazette.com/higher-education/university-of-iowa-renames-road-hawkeye-wave-way-amid-for-the-kids-trademark-scuffle/ In short, PSU applied to trademark "For The Kids" in 2019, a slogan that they, and...

How would Gwynn's game be different (if at all) if he played in the modern, analytical, OPS-obsessed era? I gotta think he would have still been awesome, but I bet his approach at the plate would have looked a lot different.

So, do you take Iowa against that 19.5 pt spread, and then hedge with the over (thinking if Iowa doesn't beat that spread, OSU is probably lighting up the scoreboard and beating the 45.5)? Or, do you take OSU to cover the spread, and hedge with the under (Iowa probably doesn't win if this goes...

I have 2 strong beliefs when it comes to reffing/reviewing: 1) When in doubt, keep the flag in your pocket. My wife coached HS basketball for over a decade, and for part of that time we would rewatch games to do the stats. One thing that jumped out to me was ref's accuracy (or lack thereof) on...

I tried with some AI generated images for the Iowa-Minn game, but it didn't seem to catch on. I just asked Microsoft Copilot to create a humorous depiction of the most likely outcome of the Iowa vs. OSU game. Everything it kicked out was super disturbing, I will just share one:

I always cheered for Bonds because he was on my 1994 rotisserie league team. I didn't know squat about baseball, but I knew he was good, and he was one of the only offensive bright spots. Other random players I cheered for their entire careers because they made their way onto one of my fantasy...

I honestly don't know baseball at all, I just hear 50-50, and combine that with the fact he is also a dominant pitcher, and it kind of blows me away. Has there ever been anyone else who could pull that off? Maybe Babe Ruth, but the MLB of 100 years ago is a lot different from that of today.

Hopefully I cost you lots of potential winnings!

I don't think it will tell us if KJ is a legit top RB...we already know the answer to that. But against a D as stout as OSU, you still need a passing game to keep safeties back, and an OL to at least occupy guys. There is no guarantee we will get that. Even if he rushes 15 times for 10 yards, it...

This is my yearly reminder that in the new-Kirk era (since 2015), Iowa has been awesome as a favorite. 5th best win% in the nation, and the best performance vs. the spread of those teams. And yeah, I know that bettor spreads and favorites are not a true indication of who is SUPPOSED to win or...

Russian national team? I didn't see that one coming.

Clark was guarding Mabrey on that possession. She overhelped on a drive, which seems to be a team-wide issue.

I am okay with Dantas and Fegbenle coming off the bench, but an upgrade at 4 would help. Smith has value as a one-on-one option, but she is the 4th option in the Fever starting lineup as it is, which decreases that value. She is not a floor spacer, and she is not a facilitator, the 2 skills that...

Much better showing, but Indiana made mistakes down the stretch, and Connecticut made big plays. What an 11-month run it has been for Clark...go rest up and come back better than ever.

But Nebraska was never a national-level scandal. You hear rumors about the Osborne era, but there was never any attempt by an investigative journalist to un-earth them and bring them to light. It is also hard to compare anything to PSU-Sandusky, the horrible sports scandal to end all horrible...
