    Fire Greg Davis

    KOK was never the problem neither is Greg Davis. Kirk Ferentz is the leader calling all the shots. Ultimately they call the plays he wants called, D is the same way, they haven't lined up the secondary on the line once, still 5 yard buffer every play

    Iowa has a home game on the 20th Anniversary of Chris Street's passing

    08-27-2012 07:30 PMclicheusername3 Everyone should wear Street on the back of the jersey. This would be cool. I remember the night and next day after that car accident. It was announced on the late night local news that Street and another UI student had been in a crash but I think the...

    McCaffery says Kyle Meyer ‘really a good kid’

    Re:McCaffery says Kyle Meyer ‘really a good kid’ I grew up in IC and chose not to pursue my higher education there for several reasons and the bar/drinking/public intox/DUI were a major reason. I can remember after every home football game opening the DI and reading at least 3 pages of...

    Iowa #6 most expensive team in average listed ticket price

    Think this is generally hilarious but what is not at all funny is that Steele Jantz worked Iowa last year en route to something like 44 points. Our D-line broke through so many times only for Jantz to run away and complete a play for positive yardage that should have been a loss of yards...

    Mike Gesell Video

    Every PG who isn't a disgustingly quick athlete too has trouble with the 'more athletic' point guards. Sometimes that phrase is a bit cliché on these posts. MG seems more athletic and explosive than Horner but definitely not as quick as Dean was though he already appears to be a much better...

    Most overused cliches in analyzing CFB talent

    box score

    Players have off nights sometimes, even pseudo super sophs. It's been posted a ton of times already but Basabe may benefit the most from an increased front court next year which is the best explanation for the inconsistency he's shown this year compared to what he showed us last year. Let's...

    So...Maybe We Aren't Back...But Lets Stay Excited

    We ARE back, just back down to Earth. OSU is a VERY good team and played like it today. I didn't expect Iowa to win but I thought they'd make it much more competitive than a 30 point home loss, especially coming off back to back road wins in conference play. If anything I'd have thought that...

    B1G Champs

    OSU definitely brought the hawks back to Earth, but this is to be expected. We all knew that this year's team and next year's team will have some inconsistency and growing pains, which is to be expected from such a young team. Winning in Madison proves you can win anywhere, this year's team will...

    Game thread

    If Gatens has a decent shooting night the Hawks would've pulled out the upset. Marble and Basabe are becoming our 'super sophs' White is instant offense off the bench. Over all a very well fought contest for the Hawks, I hope they continue to be this competitive for the rest of conference play.

    6th Grader playing Varsity ball

    He's reallly skilled for an 11 year old but as quick as he and as good of a ball handler that he is he is still built like an 11 year old boy and even the top 11 year old UN the country is not ready to okay varsity. Most if the top athletes these days are 19 by senior year, this kid is not...

    LIVE CHAT - Iowa at UNI

    still a LONG way to go Why is Oglesby throwing up contested 3's not within the offensive rhythm? Why is Fran and the bench picking up T's in a 1 possession game? Why us Mel air balling 3ft hook shots?

    LIVE CHAT - Iowa at UNI

    Refs just out Iowa out if this game GTBFKM! A 2 point game on a fast break followed by 3 technical fouls

    I am starting to think Lickliter actually had the right idea.....

    1st of all Wiscy does not just bring slow white farm boys, each year they also have at least 1 elite athlete/player a la Jordan Taylor and previously guys like Kamron Taylor, Alando Tucker and even way back to Michael Finley. I will repeat what several other poster have stated in that any style...

    Hlas: Iowans, ex-Hawks doing nicely out of state

    http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/7073008/cody-larson-florida-gators-avoids-jail-time-probation-violation Sorry, apparently he has eluded jail for now, dude had a drug conviction he was on probation for and he tried to break into/steal a car, sounds like a real winner

    Hlas: Iowans, ex-Hawks doing nicely out of state

    Last I heard about Larson he was headed to jail/prison. I can't remember if it was drugs, guns, maybe a bit of both

    My starting 5

    Cartwright Gatens Oglesby McCabe White Those 5 have the best overall body of work in terms of performance so far this season. That 5 will/would get eaten alive in the post but so will any 5 we have this year but right now those 5 are simply the best players on the team. I put Marble in as...

    Cartwright

    Hubbard would have started, why he isn't getting minutes at a smaller school is anyvody's guess. Reality check folks, just because a school is a mid-major doesn't automatically mean their talent is inferior to Iowa's, in fact over the last 4 years that cannot be assumed at all. Maybe Hubbard...

    Fran

    Given the bare cupboard Fran inherited he should have 4 years before we really judge him, give him a chance to bring one of his recruiting classes through. In 2013-2014 if we are losing at home to Campbell or down by 30 to Creighton THEN it will be fair to talk about coaching changes. Even...
