    Time to Confess What You Did When You Lost Faith Against MSU

    Good question. I wanted to hate Tark but the guy made me smile. But I hated that game. Did Raveling big time cheat? I do think a lot of guys wanted to play for him. Not sure Iowa City was a good fit for him. That year gave us unrealistic expectations for Davis. Funny thing was that I L...

    Greatest Individual Game In Iowa History

    After a lot of thought, Iowa IL in 1978? (was there as a kid) when IL was next up to be number 1. The Iowa win over OU was classic. The level of play was beyond what we see today. Both teams highly talented. The help D was incredible. That game was a classic throughout the game...

    Iowa State Is A Tire Fire

    I'm guessing if JBo said it, he knows something. Maybe you weren't around, but I remember Lute changed late in the season his last year and after the loss in the dance, his interview was thoughtful and calm. I said to my buddy.....he gone.... and he was shortly after Fran for his T's has been...

    Time to Confess What You Did When You Lost Faith Against MSU

    I was grading tests during that game. I wanted to shred all the tests and burn them. I think that this game followed the OU miracle made it even worse. Gamble was unbelievable. Iowa and IL that year had to be like the best teams ever with nba talent on them and neither won the Big. Iowa had...

    Duke has got to be one of the funniest, most human, and likable people on this board. Stunningly hilarious kudos to you North!

    Starting 5 Next Year

    JO isn't playing. He clearly doesn't understand the game which is worse than being out of shape.

    Time to Confess What You Did When You Lost Faith Against MSU

    I kept watching. Why? Fran entertainment. Also, I knew they couldn't screw around and had to get shots up without thinking and doing screwy fundamental things. Didn't think they'd win, but wanted to see what they could do. The highlight of the whole game was watching Duke post several...

    Iowa State Is A Tire Fire

    Coaching would be no different than hiring other professionals. You want someone who can do the job you pay for experience. If you want cheaper you get less old. How NCAA has changed has changed everything. The thought of needing to get a coach committed for 10 years is out the door and...

    Lawsuit - coaches, Barta, and Doyle dismissed

    Actually the Dept of Ed can be involved in lawsuits. Wasn't suggesting it, but was just curious. The flip side is they can ding the university in a number of ways. The deadline for filing with the Dept of Ed has passed which is why I wondered that. I could see where it might help or it might...

    Depends on the definition of relevant. Right now close to 500 in conference would be relevant

    Iowa State Is A Tire Fire

    I don't think age has that much pull anymore. Teams want success in a few years and Fran is young enough to get there and then some. He seems to enjoy coaching now as much as ever. And he's probably better now than 10 years ago. I don't think Fran is as popular as some think he is, nor is he...

    Feature: Connor McCaffery A Coach in Waiting

    Son's of farmers have advantages and disadvantages being mentored by dad. The weak side is they develop dad's system...the good and the bad. Learning from someone else would be a good thing.

    Lawsuit - coaches, Barta, and Doyle dismissed

    Going to guess the check will be after it goes to a court decision. They may not want to settle. The will meet the scope of discrimination, old coaches or not. Bank on it.

    Lawsuit - coaches, Barta, and Doyle dismissed

    Likely means: The easiest and the biggest way to get a settlement is to go after the university. Will be easier to prove as a group as opposed to an individual. The University has stringent rules to follow on discrimination and therein is the payoff. It's likely going to be big. The...
