    Deshaun Foster at media days

    I hope you're right, but based on how we've performed recently on the offensive side of the ball that "C" game would have to a performance in which we put up points on the board. The problem I saw last is we have struggled finding a C game on the offensive side of the ball and tried to get by...

    Media picks Iowa to finish 5th in Big10

    I hate to say it, because I don't necessarily think this way, but I think it's going to be a matter of not "if" we win, but "how" we win. It is a weaker schedule and that's going to be held against us all season. That said you can only play the games on the schedule, and with a new OC I think...

    Presidential debate

    What I got out of the whole thing is that our political parties are beyond pathetic and there's a reason other countries laugh at us. Neither of them seem fit to run a household let alone be the face of a country. I'd love to take a mulligan and see two new candidates arise from the shitshow...

    NW Iowa rain

    Best of luck fellas. I can't imagine what your going through despite all the videos and pictures. I'm on the Mississippi side of the state and getting ready to see what that has in store for us, but fortunately things are elevated enough here (Burlington) that while the downtown area and...

    CC and the Olympics

    I may be the outsider that thinks a few less games and less travel could benefit her. She's been going non-stop for what seems like eternity there won't be a complete stop, but at least she gets to catch her breath this way.

    I love the hire already.

    Players Sharing Revenue

    I like your stance on the free transfers. Not sure it'd be possible to insert into college football, but would love to see "transfer fees" imposed to universities losing players to bigger programs in the portal, similar to European football (edit: soccer--my apologies lol). Again I don't think...

    Ohio State QB Devin Brown

    I'd take Uncle Rico in a heartbeat. We need the guy that can throw the ball over them there mountains.

    Players Sharing Revenue

    I think your 100% accurate that as parents we would say a 10 without hesitation. But at the same time we have to take into consideration that what the parents want and what their kids want often aren't the same thing. The other side is, we all know plenty of people that have college degrees...

    Evolution of College Athletics

    I'll agree with you on the fact that 18 year olds are definitely likely to F up upon becoming a millionaire, but I don't see how it is anyone's place to tell them that because they may F up they shouldn't have the opportunity to do so.

    Evolution of College Athletics

    Agreed, but your missing the part that the university's don't care about these athletes they care about the profit those athletes are generating. IF programs truly cared about 100% graduation rates or who needs help remaining eligible or who doesn't care about grades they wouldn't offer them...

    Evolution of College Athletics

    I agree that students should be the last people that should be making decisions affecting large institutions. However when it pertains to the student athlete they are the ones generating the revenue and IMO opinion are the largest player/entity involved in college athletics and whether we like...

    Sports stereotypes

    I'm with you. I think it's more about where he lands then when in the draft he lands there. I'd much rather see him going to the eagles then a train wreck of a program or a program that doesn't quite know what direction they want to go.

    PMac Commits to Butler

    Does it suck as a player as a player or does it suck financially for the players. I get where you're coming from, but if it's NIL based and financially motivated I don't think that's fair to put on the fans or the program. I agree the landscape has changed and we've dropped the ball in that...

    PMac Commits to Butler

    But i'd also think the counter argument to that would be if he hated it that badly why wait 5 years to leave? That's the part that doesn't make sense to me.

    PMac Commits to Butler

    Agreed. He's given 5 years to Iowa which before covid was a full college career. He wants to play somewhere else for a 6th year, IMO so what, let him. I don't think think less of him for doing so or feel that he's obligated to his dad to stay here or that it reflects negatively on Fran for...

    Uncertainty Surrounds '24-25 Iowa Hoops Season

    I agree completely that it hasn't been for a lack of talent and agree with your take. Which is why I'd be pleasantly surprised to see next years team make the tourney, because I've seen it play out over and over.

    Uncertainty Surrounds '24-25 Iowa Hoops Season

    I love the optimism I really do, but we've yet to make a Sweet 16 under Fran's leadership. I like the roster and possibilities, but we've had better rosters with more complete bench's come up short under Fran. Hope I'm wrong and would love to eat crow, but I remain skeptical and feel we're a...

    Thank you ladies

    Never in my wildest mind did I ever think I'd be a women's hoops fan as I was one of those that never gave it a chance, because of the way it was played below the rim and what I blindly saw as a lack of athleticism. Bought in a few years ago, as nothing more then a spectator watching them win...
