It is indeed puzzling and I totally acknowledge your point. Can we agree that instead of debating Cook, or for example, complaining about Iowa's guard situation and lack of production from the PG position... it's clear that Iowa is an under-coached team? I like Fran. I like his staff. But why...

I totally agree. But I think we're viewing this from our own perspective (as Iowa fans) and not from his perspective. In his view, he can and will be a glass eater, workhorse rebounder, energy guy, etc. - he can and will turn that on when needed. Examples of this are when he's working out for...

I'll try to watch it. If nothing else, it was sure an entertaining game and could be worth re-watching. I was up close and personal when Cook looked past multiple outlet-pass options and took a defensive rebound end to end, only to easily turn it over with ~ 1 min left in the game, essentially...

Certainly an interesting conversation starter. But this is so dumb and absolutely false. Iowa needs (better) athletes and it shows in every loss. It's not about flashy dunks or speed on fast breaks, it's about defense. We need bigger, stronger, quicker, more athletic guys to defend against other...

Would love to see this. I always thought it was designed as a true 50/50 multi-usage venue for hoops and wrestling. For wrestling, I think it's one of the coolest venues around. The bowl design (while a bit sleepy for hoops), has a really cool coliseum kind of feel. For wrestling, I think it's...

According to Wikipedia, there are 351 D1 bball schools. Let's be real, where does Carver Hawkeye Arena rank? I would say very much middle of the pack. That's not something we're used to as Iowa fans (when comparing it to Kinnick or to CHA for wrestling). I think there is so much to be...

UCONN't be serious

Hock and Fant are both great athletes and I think they'll both perform well at the next level. I'm curious to know how the TE position performs, on average, in terms of NFL draft placement. Do first round picks turn out be great star players? Or do late rounders often emerge as the best? The TE...

First, does this 100% mean he's gone? Is this sort of an intermediate spot where he could be making the decision to stay vs. go? Either way, does not seem good. Second, to all of the completely/blindly homer fans on this board, the types that grab their torches and pitchforks whenever anyone...

Fake news

He could easily take the #1 spot with a big year next year. The problem is that he needs statistical production and I'm not confident in his receiving corps to catch TDs next year. Not saying it can't happen, but a 30 TD passing year seems unlikely. Look at Stanzi's weapons: DJK, McNutt...

I don't always cook Pot Roast. But when I do, I wait until 10 minutes left on the over timer to order Dominos Pizza

Agreed. The counter argument is that IF we can hold on to successful, development players (into their 4th and 5th years), we could have a physical/age advantage over programs starting many underclassmen. Examples of this are guys like Parker Hesse, Keegan Render, Austin Kelly. A 4th-5th year...

We should all be proud of Anthony and of the entire program. Presumably, he's going to make a lot of money and this is a really happy situation for both Nelson and the Iowa program (although we're sad to lose him early). But this trend is skyrocketing. Iowa (and all of college FB) should...

Statistically - a wash. But this is the difference between a turnover and a takeaway. Their DB jumped that route and made a great play. Their WR handed us an interception.

Not sure what you're looking at. But either way it's close and a gray area in the rules that's not going to get called all that often. I'm more interested in the fact that this play (from this formation) is setup this way, as opposed to in the bubble screen format. I like this format because a...

Good point. Rewatched it. Easley is clearly downfield, across the LOS. Both blockers are fully engaged while the ball is in the air. When watching this play live, I was ecstatic with the blocking and execution. But this is really strange play design. Should be a foul

They dropped the game winning TD pass in the endzone. It literally bounced off his chest in between his numbers. The ball ricocheted straight into the hands of our DB, who ran it out and ended the game. Of course they feel like they beat themselves.

I love your attitude. But this is simply inaccurate. -15 vs. +190 yard rushing totals. They could run the ball and we couldn't. They couldn't punch it into the endzone all that effectively. And I totally believe Iowa deserved to win. But let's not get carried away. Our O Line was manhandled...
