So let me get this straight Utah just lost the beauty contest? I love it when the teams that win Gritty football games and win the ugly with DEFENSE and ball control are the only ones left standing.

If we are talking about best possibility of play off, I think Pitt and NW are our best friends. If Iowa goes undefeated road wins vs a quality Pitt team and a NW team who's win vs Stanford wasn't a fluke, plus an b10 championship win. To me that is the recipe.

No matter what your job in life, do it big and celebrate every success like it's your last young man!!!! Hell, moments like that might get you and your team 2 million views on ESPN and a Jimmy Kimmel appearance.

There is a horse wildly chasing a cart there. I love the optimism and don't discount that it is remotely possible but Iowa fought like hell for home wins vs a decent Il state team, a pretty good Pit team and on the road against a very mediocre IA state team. It's a nice early resume deserving of...

It happens nearly every year. I can't honestly recall a year without upsets of 2 or 3 seeded teams that didn't collapse and were coached by wildly successful coaches. You are certainly on point though by saying it will be remembered. These upsets are remembered a long time.

I don't think one game constitutes a collapse nor does a brief lack of class from a few players. Upsets like this happen to great coaches and great teams in this tournament all the time, but if true about walking off without shaking hands, that a bad reflection on the coach. Nothing to get too...

Is that new?

In a best of 5 series, I think Davidson may (possibly) be better than a couple of those teams. If Davidson pressures and it causes problems, if they get hot and or a lot of 2nd chances on long rebounds there could be issues. It's a sexy upset pick for those looking for a bracket buster...

I thought we were going to talk some marching band here. Oh well.... Great first half... let's keep the foot on the pedal and avoid a close finish.

Or you could try reading...or maybe not.

"Dance with who brung ya." I loved the run on 3rd and 5. In 4 down territory. Not that I would bet we would have gone for it but it was the right call.

This team is not blessed with championship athletes at every position 5 star recruits or all Americans, but I do see some solid skills and passion in this team. I think this group, from what I have seen so far has a good shot at being one of those Iowa teams that plays better and better as the...

If Iowa takes care of the ball and cleans up the false starts, we win today. Iowa win today with a strong performance and fans begin to feel a little better. Some of Iowa's best teams have started slow and looked pretty rough early on.

I've been there for a couple years and there is a cooling trend. Iowa scores 37 today. I have money on it with Elvis.

This just isn't true at all. Young talented teams that have made deep NIT runs have often done the same in the NCAA the following season. This is a young Iowa team and this means something.

Jim Bain. Hands down.

Exactly!!!!

I don't see how you could watch these bowl games and say the Big Ten is terrible. I'm not taking any moral victories but these leagues aren't all that far apart. B12, BIG, PAC, SEC, even ACC are all closer than than all the hype would lead you to believe. Sure there are up years down years...

If you also remember, Evan Turner told May that he was going to be a superstar if he kept working. That's high praise for any freshmen and supports your earlier comment that May did SOME spetacular things as a freshman. No matter what people think of Eric, he is a senior with some very nice...

Tom Davis get and unfair tag as a poor recruiter IMHO. He may not have loved it and he my have failed to take a step that other coaches didn't but the fact remains that all but one or two of Davis' classes were good to very good. Davis also seemed to be the last asked to leave the living room of...
