    1981 QB question

    Once upon a time in a land far away a coach played players when ever there was a chance to play them. Blow outs, to see who played better under real game time pressure. Not just anointing players to start indefinitely.

    Watch: Iowa Men's Hoops 12-19-24

    Fran and gang seemed uninspired when we attended the post-regular season last year here in Utah. There were a lot of empty seats. It appeared that Utah showed a little more energy than Iowa. I don’t think that will be the case in this game. Let’s whoop their ass’s!!!

    Could not agree more and it’s long over due. Could you be right about not giving a crap about the basketball program. Once upon a time the football program was crap and the big ticket was the basketball program. The coach and powers that be decided to put up a new arena. Unfortunately the head...

    Yep, They gave their coach card blanche and he went out and brought/ bought in a lot of new players. Can they sustain it…….. time will tell. I want to see the playoffs expand to 32 teams the. We can get a real test of true test of a championship. Some teams develop toward the end of the...

    Ok, you surprised me on your last sentence . This is what has caused my biggest frustration with both programs. Good coaches but when it comes to when it really matters the most the term “pissing down their leg”’comes to my mind. Sure every program will have its ups and downs but when it comes...

    If you think it is bad now then you are not old enough to remember life before a shot clock. If Lute Olsen had a small lead against a superior opponent he would literally have his players just pass the ball around and try to run the clock out. I am not talking about in the last minute but with...

    For as long as he has been here and having put a few players in the NBA you would have thought he would have had at least two teams that got past the first weekend in the NCAA tournament. Defense has been his weakness and there is very little to lead anyone to believe that is going to change...

    Exactly, so Iowa needs to get out their credit cards and go shopping. The NIL should help us as now we don’t have to be one of the few CLEAN programs anymore. We can buy our way in like the crooked SEC has done for decades………… and now it’s legal. There are very wealthy Iowa boosters and it’s...

    How does Iowa State put together good teams that get national attention and Iowa struggles to do it?

    That was an awesome team. Tom messed up by not calling a timeout sooner and changing up his defense sooner to stave off the towel sucking coach’s come back.

    It’s sports and it’s suppose to be e fun. I think many of us are suffering PTSD from the Lick years.

    “the only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” Assuming the Presidency at the depth of the Great Depression, Franklin D. Roosevelt helped the American people regain faith in themselves. He brought hope as he promised prompt, vigorous action, and asserted in his Inaugural Address, “the only...

    Totally agree and have said it many times. Now with the NIL in place that will likely only get worse as with the big bucks comes bigger expectations. With bigger expectations comes bigger disappointments and with those disappointments comes bigger criticisms. As college sports continues to go...

    Nevermind Huck I just stubbled upon an article about this. It also mentions the seven million dollar estimate. I seems crazy that he would choose BYU over other prominent schools. When is the last time BYU did anything in college basketball. I seen the lady hawks handled them pretty easily.

    Huck, Do you have a legitimate source or link to this story? Doesn’t sound like something the LDS church would engage in. BYU is owned, operated, and directed by the LDS church. if it is true and the LDS church is opening this can of worms then they will without any doubt have the funds to buy...
