I'm actually surprised this hasn't been settled out of court. Iowa could easily write a check to Meyer for a couple million and she could simply retire, and Iowa would avoid the public embarrassment of all the dirty laundry being aired in public. To me this all goes down to Barta being a poor...

Fran only has 30 minutes per game to distribute (Jok's time) among all the returning players plus 3 incoming freshman. Here are my guesses: Dailey - didn't play much this year. I'd be surprised if he inherited any of Jok's minutes over the likes of Moss, Ellingson, Williams, Connor McCaffery...

The NIT is essentially like going 6-6 and getting an invite to the Insight Bowl. Not somewhere you set your sights on going to at the beginning of the year, but its better than nothing. If they don't take it serious then they probably lose first round to some other flawed team. But if they...

Unless Fran thinks Barta is too much of a moron to work for, I can't imagine him leaving Iowa unless he has a dream job (Notre Dame/Villanova, etc) offer him. I think he'll follow the Ferentz plan. Stay at Iowa, make good money, allow his kids attend the same school through graduation, and his...

Dakich. I know people hate him because of the Woodbury eye poking incident, but I actually enjoy listening to him call a game. I'd rather listen to him then announcers like Vitale or Bill Walton or Jon Gruden who say everyone is the best ever and the greatest player or coach in history. Plus...

Maybe someone could give him the Draymond Green treatment early in the game.

Not to rain on the parade after a good win last night, but what's up with Moss? He starts and then only plays 5 minutes the whole game? This seems to be the pattern lately, start and then sit for most of the 2nd half. If Fran doesn't trust him due to bad shots or turnovers (neither of which...

I think the McCaffery's are handling this perfectly. 1. They can't come out and say Fran is going to "Crean" some kid to free up a basketball scholarship for his own son. 2. If a scholarship does open up, maybe by this spring a HS senior may want to be released from his letter of intent due...

Yes, napoleon is a great description. I hate when I see him on the crew for an Iowa game. He seems to go out of his way to be confrontational. He's like the MLB baseball umpires who toss players/mgr's for even questioning a call.

Last night was a frustrating loss, but I respect those players and can't wait to see what they become as a team in the next couple of years. They received an epic failure on the officiating with the Ellingson time out/jump ball. I mean anyone who watches basketball is anticipating the time out...

Maybe KOK's return to Iowa will be like when Steve Jobs came back to Apple the 2nd time, and he will revolutionize college football. And maybe start wearing only black turtlenecks.

Great moment for a local kid. I'm not saying this offer is any sort of package deal, but isn't Wieland a workout partner with Oliver Martin? Maybe seeing one of your buddies joining the Hawks may help Iowa's sales pitch to Martin.

Does John Lickliter have any eligibility left?

I think as someone mentioned above, Iowa sells a large % of their available tickets. I wonder if the problem is a lot of those season ticket holders (folks in the 1st 20 rows) are people from Des Moines, Waterloo, Quad Cities, maybe even KC/Chicago area that just can't make it to every game...

I like the idea of Raih as the QB coach, maybe groom him to be next OC if Brian Ferentz takes over for Kirk in a couple of years. If WR spot opens up, maybe reach out to some young former Hawks in the area (Martin-Manley, McNutt, Hinkle). All three are coaching/working high high school players...

I hope Weigers stays. He has 2 years of eligibility left. Is he an NFL QB? Probably not, so he will make his living off of his degree. So do you transfer down to some Missouri Valley school just to play for 2 years and then get a degree from a lesser valued academic school (no offense to...

Maybe he just knows the Ferentz policy on no visits after committing, which is why he hasn't committed yet. And I can't blame a kid for wanting to go look at other schools. Think about your current career. If another company offered to fly you out to their location to tour their facilities...

Promoting Brian makes sense, plus it then opens up the O-Line job for Steven who is graduating and probably needs a job. Also, if we could hire a defensive coach who could teach our badass LB's and Safety's how to make an open field tackle the Hawks will be all set for 2017.

I do think Fran, as a 50+ year old man, should have taken the high road. What would Fran's reaction been if Bo Ryan refused to shake hands after Woodbury eye poking, or when Gatens choke slammed one of their players? What about if Izzo would have pulled his team out of the line when McCabe hip...

I think this is a win-win for both sides. If Dailey plays well or improves as the year goes on and earns his minutes, then it's good for the team and gives him experience going into next season. He can develop the same whether he is red-shirting or if he's the 12th man on the bench. If he...
