    Are you personally worried about getting the Coronavirus?

    I’m not personally afraid of getting it, but I am nervous for my parents as they both have pre existing conditions that would probably lead to death should they get it. My biggest fear, though, are the idiots who are so blasé about it. It’s that attitude that will cause our medical system to...

    Which current HCs' Caused the Game to be too Physical?

    Knight & Keady started it. Izzo & Bo Ryan took it to a whole new level.

    Call your shot....what’s our seed, what region, and who are we playing? Call your shot part 2....do we play on Sat in BTT?

    As the B10 bracket looks now...

    We were Top 30 in defensive efficiency every year we had Woodbury and Gesell. We've been anywhere from below average to absolutely atrocious since. Make of that what you will.

    ***Official Hawks Stomp The Ill-Lye-Nye For A Double Bye Game Thread***

    How the heck an Illinois game thread devolved into a war on COVID 19 is beyond me! :) With that being said, this is no longer about containment....the cat's out of the bag now. This is now about everyone doing what they can to limit the spread so it doesn't end up overwhelming hospitals and...

    Should Kriener start for Wieskamp at the BIG Tournament?

    Assuming we play Minn on Thursday, I'd be all for Kriener getting the start. He played really well against Minn last time and allows Garza to not have to expend extra energy defending Oturu. Sometimes when a guy is in a slump, it's good to switch up some things, so perhaps coming off the bench...

    Martin Named to Buster Posey Award Watch List

    Anytime I see that name, I can't help but think of the commercial where the wife is giving birth and Buster Posey is there to catch the baby and the wife isn't having any of it and the husband says...."Honey, you're embarrassing me in front of Buster Posey!" :)

    Who would you add?

    Gimme JBo for the entire year and we win the B1G regular season and probably get a 2-3 seed.

    Marshal Yanda Retires

    Gold jacket career for sure. It's too bad that in his last game, he had to put up with that jagoff rookie Simmons from Miss St (who also was involved with taunting Iowa players at the Children's Hospital in Tampa) spitting in his face. Oh well, Yanda made a cool $70M and Simmons will be out of...

    Peyton Ramsey to Northwestern

    I admittedly don't know the transfer rules.....but in a case like this, since it was in the conference....if NW and Indiana were scheduled against each other in 2020 (they aren't), could Indiana have blocked the transfer to NW?

    Would You Rather...?

    This is a year I'd actually take a 7 and be okay with it. The 2's this year are going to be full of mid-major type programs, like Dayton, Creighton, SDSU, Seton Hall, etc whereas the 3s are going to be established blue bloods like Duke, Kentucky, Villanova, etc.

    As the B10 bracket looks now...

    Remove Fran's 1st 2 years when he had to remove us from the Lick crater and remove Mr. Davis's 1st 2 years with Raveling's recruits, and they're essentially the same coach, with the same record, having the same issues and with the same strengths. At this point, I'll consider that a positive given...

    My All-B1G Teams, POY, COY, Etc.

    I hate Wisconsin athletics with every fiber of my being....which means I respect the hell out of them! :)

    Would You Rather...?

    Is this really a question? :) Let's see, would I rather play a traditional giant killer in Wichita St. with a coach who knows how to coach in March and has been to the Final Four recently or face a Utah State team that only got hot at the right time in St. Louis that will be 90% Hawks? And if...

    The best 2 weeks of the sport is upon us

    Also, part of me almost wants the 7 at this point because the 7 gives us a GREAT shot to play Creighton in St. Louis. I'd take that all day over playing Duke in Greensboro as a 6.

    The best 2 weeks of the sport is upon us

    We're all making the assumption that Minny wins on Wed. I'd say at this point that game is probably a toss up. I think regardless of who we play Thursday that we win. I think the Illinois game is a complete toss up as both games won by the homes teams were. If we can find our outside shot in...

    My All-B1G Teams, POY, COY, Etc.

    Rob - good list. Probably my only difference would be defensive POY. I'd probably go with Eastern from Purdue, but that's probably picking nits....both are deserving.

    As the B10 bracket looks now...

    Totally see your point, but I'd rather play Minnesota than Purdue or Indiana, seeing as how the BTT is in Indianapolis. And heck, the way NW played against PSU, we may end up playing them. I'd also rather play Illinois than either Maryland or MSU at this point, so I think that still works out...

    Game Report: Iowa Misses Out on B1G Tourney Double Bye with Loss at Illinois

    Totally understand your point and I probably agree with it to a certain extent. I wasn't really addressing whether it was a good idea or would just fall on deaf ears (or even result in reprisals from some refs). It was just that I didn't necessarily have an issue with CJF (or Connor before...

    ***Official Hawks Stomp The Ill-Lye-Nye For A Double Bye Game Thread***

    I wasn't meaning from an "injury" standpoint. I was more referring to just overall getting "beat down" as the conference season dragged on. Compare and contrast us and Wisconsin. They are significantly more physically capable of handling the grind of the season and it showed in how they...
