    Iowa Post-Spring Position Analysis: DL

    What's great about this type of rotation is the constant pressure we can put on an offense. It's not just the idea of a body subbing in but there's a lot of talent there as well. As just noted, LVN benefitted even though he didn't start. This could very easily be a selling point to a future...

    Iowa Post-Spring Position Analysis: DL

    Agreed! I think Graves has a motor that reminds me of Jared DeVries.

    Hawks UDFA's

    I think Benson has a lot of upside. Overshadowed obviously by Campbell, but I think he can stick around. Who knows, maybe he plays alongside The Outlaw.

    Hawks UDFA's

    I think one thing that might help some of these guys is the reputation that our guys do the fundamentals very well. You hear all the time, that our guys may not be as athletic, but they tackle, block, and are usually in position to make a play. This may bode well for a role on special teams if...

    This staff blew it

    Welp, Van Lith to LSU. I figured she was either going to SC or LSU.

    This staff blew it

    I don't disagree and from a fan or observation standpoint, you are 100% correct, but we are talking about athletes. Type A personalities. A lot of athletes have been "The Show" at their perspective high school or possibly at other programs. That treatment and status becomes a bit intoxicating...

    This staff blew it

    I think the first comment speaks volumes. If you look at the focus of the offense, it's centered around CC and sprinkled in contributions from other role players. I think there was a stat that CC was involved somehow in 80% (or maybe higher) of the Hawkeyes scoring in some way. It's no fault of...

    Portal opens 4-15

    I'm really hoping the O-line takes care of itself. Take away couple years and I think Iowa still has a strong rep for lineman and the potential to play at the next level. I am hopeful they mesh and become a strength again. As for the receiving corp....as previously mentioned, it's a hard sell...

    Shateah Wetering in Portal

    Any way you slice it, it can be a tough convo, and can be spun by someone. Have a honest conversation with a kid and letting them know their future playing time is going to be limited with the program's success. Someone could easily see that as pushing a lesser talented player out. Fry is not...

    Logan Jones Readying for Next Step at Center

    Curious also if there is competition there as well? Didn't we get a transfer from Miami of Ohio that was a grad transfer that has ties to Barnett? Either way, I am hoping for a much improved and cohesive line. I think we go as the O-line goes. Sounds like McNamara is settling in nice and...

    Logan Jones Readying for Next Step at Center

    Hoping Logan was able to take some big strides forward. I think with all of the different issues last year, it's easy to forget that not only was it is first college football experience, but also a new position. At center, too. Sounds like he put in the work, let's hope the Hawkeyes reap the...

    Kris gone...declaring for NBA

    I think he made First Team All Big Ten and was 3rd Team All American? Sure, I think one more year would benefit him, but there's a lot of question marks next year for the basketball team. Kris may not be Keegan, but he is a specimen and has the frame. I assume he is dialing in his game and...

    MLB Week 1

    I still go back to being a traditionalist so change has been tough. Manfred is about finding ways to get the casual fan back to the ball park. Most fans realize the game has not changed much since it's inception. I do like that the games are shorter. But anyone who knows baseball, knows the...

    MLB Week 1

    What are you guys' thoughts on the extra inning runner at second? I dislike it. I see why in some ways with saving arms, but to me, I am a traditionalist and that's part of the game. I also just shake my head at some of the crazy things they are trying in the minors. Has me shaking my head.

    MLB Week 1

    "Pito" always had slow starts blamed on cooler temps in Chicago. I loved him and the Sox always had a great line of first basemen from Big Frank to Konerko to Abreu and now hopefully Vaughn. I'm moving on from Abreu. He had a good run of 9 years with the Sox and it just never panned out. In some...

    MLB Week 1

    I'm still pissed my Chicago White Sox let Jose Abreu walk. But I have tried to move on. I wasn't happy with their off season and I was worried about their pitching in general. I think Lynn bounces back. Cease will do Cy Young things. Giolito hasn't convinced me he has figured it out, and Kopech...

    Okay Bluder...

    I also read somewhere that she volunteers at some food pantry in the area. Apparently, they wanted to pay her, but has declined. I get she is making alot of money, but I also think this gives you a bit more of the perspective of the person, Caitlyn Clark.

    Okay Bluder...

    I can't remember where I was reading this article, but there was talk that CC has her senior year and COVID year left and she has left the door open to come back both years. At first, I thought, "Why? Go to the WNBA and make your money." Although I was unaware of the disparity with...

    Trash talk or poor sportsmanship?

    She also commented she is doing this "for all little girls like her." What does that mean? Brash, trash talking Diva types that lack respect for others and the game? It doesn't help that she is very dismissive of the criticism of her antics. No insight to an alternative perspective. Just a big...

    Trash talk or poor sportsmanship?

    I see ESPN interviewed Reece and the taunting was brought up. Of course, right off the bat, the commentator immediately reinforced how unfair the portrayal of her was and backlash. And right on cue, Reece made mention of race and how she is going to be "unapologetically me". So, I guess...
