If we blow this game, it's not because JBo didn't play. It's because Fran actively lost the game starting when Iowa was up 15. What a terrible, terrible game by Fran.

It amazes me that Evelyn is the guy who touches the ball every possession, and he's the guy who has absolutely no business being on the floor.

Neither Evelyn nor Pemsl should be anywhere near the floor, but you have to play them because Fran's been jerking with Toussaint the entire game so he's a non-factor.

This is maybe the worst-coached half in Fran's tenure I've ever seen. Every decision he's made has been awful, and it's going to cost Iowa a won game against a bad team if it keeps up.

So we have to go from ISU's Super Bowl to Minnesota's Super Bowl on one less day rest. Dumb.

Mexico is a narcoterrorist state. Period. Some people will wring their hands over this sentence, but it's the truth. Let other people be adventurous. You be smart. If you're going to the tourist areas in Cozumel from your cruise ship...yes, I know, that's different. You go catalog all of the...

I was so excited to come into a thread and talk about the dude that I hope is the starter in the fall and a guy with leadership qualities that the program hasn't seen since Drew Tate, and I get...this. A pox on all your houses.

Most of the success of this team this year has been WITH Jbo and not BECAUSE of JBo. Yes, there's a shot.

(whispers) JBo wasn't playing that well this year anyway and this team may not suffer all that much...

I hope there's an actual competition for the starter job next year. Neither Petras nor Mansell has shown enough in games to say "yeah, that's the guy", and Hogan deserves to get a fair shot. I'd hate to see one or two guys transfer because union card.

Good bowl. The only bad thing is that it's on FS1, which limits the eyes that'll see it.

If they tried to send Iowa to Detroit after going 9-3, I'd expect Barta to call the B1G office and say, "If you don't give us $10M to go to that dump, we'll decline the bid and you're on your own." That said, Barta would probably just sign everyone in a one-mile radius to a contract extension.

Hey, if they want to hear "you couldn't even beat a lesser team in shambles where everyone involved with the program hates it" for a few more years, go ahead and take this game lightly. With a month to prepare, this should be a double-digit win. USC is a tire fire.

Nearly everyone is projecting Iowa vs. USC in the Holiday, which suddenly becomes a must-win game for the program. You can't lose a bowl game to a program with a worse team who just announced that they're bringing their hated coach back for another year and thus causing a fanbase revolt. I don't...

We don't have a defensive gameplan. We just stand around and hope that the opponent shoots worse than we do on their own. Syracuse did.

Yep, someone mail me that Fran defense DVD. JBo should shut it down before ISU. He can't move well enough to defend and he isn't scoring enough to make up for it.

Welp. Connor's going to end up being the second-best player on the floor tonight, which is an issue. It's one thing when JBo and Weiskamp have an off night shooting, but it's another when both have an off night and can't defend an orange traffic cone.

Well, the fact that he's been on the roster all year and doesn't see the field in any sense is certainly data that suggests that he's not very good.

The hard part is that at least one (and maybe two) of the three will not be on the roster by August, so KF had better choose wisely. I'm hoping that Hogan comes in and blows both of them out of the water, but we'll see.
