    Name the Hawkeyes

    Garza Named ESPN National POY, Naismith Finalist

    Thanks. A little research shows the Naismith Award has been around since 1969, the first recipient was Kareem. It is awarded by the Atlanta TipOff Club, which sounds like an organization for whistleblowers. The Wooden Award has been around since 1977, the first recipient was Marques Johnson...

    Garza Named ESPN National POY, Naismith Finalist

    With all of these national player of the year awards, is the Wooden Award the equivalent to the Heisman Trophy, or is it another?

    Yes, the memorable March "situations" that Alford's teams often found themselves in.

    Yes. And Nile Kinnick winning the Heisman. Seems almost too obvious to miss.

    I was certain he was leaving, but now I'm not. Any tea leaf reading going on in Iowa City on this subject?

    I don't want to be greedy, so I'll only contribute just one (although I think I could come up with 64) - Before my time, but worthy of the list in my opinion, in addition to some of the more current, obvious ones. Iowa demolishing Cal in the 1959 Rose Bowl, and earning a national title by the...

    That’s why he probably set an unofficial NCAA record for most average yards per quarterback sneak.

    Scherff is no. 5 on espn’s top 100 free agents

    Hard to follow the careers of OL unless you dive deeper into it than what I do, so I had no clue he is that highly regarded. A future HOFer? Also, Yanda’s comments upon his retirement is another solid endorsement for Hawkeye football.

    Given the total cancellation of spring practice.....

    That should always be on the table. Also, I’m surprised that the Clones didn’t include a Ronald McDonald face mask cover when they rolled out the other ones this past week. Maybe they’re saving that one for its own special occasion.

    Given the total cancellation of spring practice.....

    This would be a good time to refresh on the difference between a cancellation and a postponement.

    The Worst Part of the Season Ending

    That too. If Garza comes back next year, my way too early prediction is that Iowa will win the Big Ten next year. Like ISM said at the end of the year - Unfinished Business.

    Patrick McCaffery - Workout Video

    Not sure he’s going to change his release point, but he can improve how quick he can get his shot off. A quicker release is more important at this point. No time to gather and shoot in the Big Ten. The competition is too good.

    The Worst Part of the Season Ending

    Is that we have to end the season with Wisconsin sharing the Big Ten title. Barf. At least the Hawks beat the Bastgers.

    J Uthoff

    Im sure it’s frustrating to him to not stick on a team that he believes he’s good enough to be on, but it beats working. He’s young enough. Make a little money and enjoy it.
