    Roy Williams and Ty Lawson

    Roy and Bill Self are sort of cut from the same cloth....aw shucks good ol' boys who are as dirty as the day is long.

    Last Dance - Random Thought

    The "Dean Smith" answer is sort of tongue in cheek. Dean didn't hold Michael back at all. That team had Michael, James Worthy, and Sam Perkins. There's only so many shots to go around. Plus, no 3 point line either. But he won a NC, was Player of the Year and 1st Team AA. So I think Dean...

    Schwartz: 12 Sentences – Let’s Watch Hawkeye Football In 2020 Edition

    I'm sorry, but using one or two examples of a 30 year old having a negative reaction doesn't prove it's veracity....it just doesn't. Are you saying the CDC is lying? Because that's coming from them. If you take away the 75% of deaths that occurred from sticking sick elderly back into nursing...

    1. Knowing JBo like you do, were you surprised by JBo considering transferring according to Leistikow's piece? 2. Is the fact that Luka is back in Iowa City a pretty tell-tale sign that he's coming back? 3. Do you think Fran reverts to a 10-11 man rotation next year or do you think he's...

    QB flip?

    I know for a fact that the MAC has had 3 taken in the 1st round in the last 20 years....Chad Pennington, Byron Leftwich, and Ben Rothlisberger. Which I think is 3 more than the B1G has had in the last 20 years. Others that have been drafted include: Josh Harris Charlie Frye Omar Jacobs Nate...

    How Hawkeyes Have Rebounded Nicely from Forgettable Finish in '14

    Understood, but that's not the same as saying "10 a year". There's a big difference between averaging 10 and winning 10 every year.

    Will We Have Football in the Fall?

    Nice job Rob! I think people sometimes confuse a message board you privately own with the Comments section of some news article. Keep up the good work!

    How Hawkeyes Have Rebounded Nicely from Forgettable Finish in '14

    There are only 4 P5 teams that have won 10 games every year for the past 5 years. Alabama, Ohio State, Oklahoma, and Clemson. Not LSU. Not Wisky. Not Georgia. Not Penn State. So to think we can win 10 games per year is fools gold.

    QB flip?

    In the last 20 years, I'm guessing that the MAC has put more QBs in the league than the B1G has. There's no shame in getting a QB flip from the MAC, to be sure.

    Schwartz: 12 Sentences – Let’s Watch Hawkeye Football In 2020 Edition

    The CDC put out a stat the other day that their calculated mortality, given the fact that there are so many asymptomatic people that aren't being tested but are being picked up via serology testing, is .4%. When removing for pre-existing and 75 and older, the mortality for everyone else is .2%...

    How Hawkeyes Have Rebounded Nicely from Forgettable Finish in '14

    On the flipside, we damn near lost to Ball State that year. That year just sucked. It was all laid out for us and we pissed down our leg.

    1. Sort of piggy backing off Homes' question above....Does Gary and KF retire together? 2. If they do retire together, who do you think would be in line for the next AD? Does the UI go the diversity route and promote Barbara Burke? Do they pull Gene Taylor from K State? Someone else? 3. Do...

    Howe: Hawkeyes About to Be Part of Science Experiment

    The virus is here to stay now, we're just going to have to learn to live with it and live with the repercussions that come with it. We certainly can't close down everytime there's a spike and I don't think places will. I think we've gotten over the initial "Oh shit" shock that comes with the...

    The washed up walkons have talked about it off and on in their podcasts. It definitely was real.

    How Hawkeyes Have Rebounded Nicely from Forgettable Finish in '14

    This was a great article. I can still remember when I heard the news that KF had called a press conference in January. At that point, you knew something was going to change. It started by naming CJ the starter and just got better from there. No more punting from inside an opponents 40 yard...

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

    If the football team made the playoffs, that means they would have probably won at the 'Shoe and would have won the B1G title in Indy as well. Both those things coupled with getting to hear for a month about Hawkeye football on a national stage until their playoff game would be awesome. Gimme...

    QB flip?

    MAC has turned out great QBs during their entire history. There can only be 65 starting QBs in P5 so some guys are going to go under the radar. Hopefully this is one of them.
