OK, I lived (WAY) out of state when this must have happened. But I have NEVER heard this. What's the story here? Ron was always true class.

It is catchy. And it makes you laugh because it is right on - in both a funny and very unfunny way.

Or at the very least, shut the place down until an INDEPENDENT contractor (not the homerish group from 2014 that magically was able to complete a top-to-bottom inspection of Assembly Hall in about six hours and declare it safe - under DIRECT orders from both the coach and A.D. to protect their...

My thoughts exactly. To summarize: "Petras is a horrible QB, but the fact is we have the world's worst offensive coordinator." And also: "We have the world's worst offensive coordinator, but the fact is we have a horrible QB." So my question is, "Who should've gotten the majority of boos...

The ratings by themselves don't mean all that much. But I got the impression that Iowa has already moved to the top #3 seed in Bracketology (at the very least). Ultimately, it would appear that it will come down to four teams fighting for two remaining #2 seed slots - and two of those four...

What's going on with all these injuries? I know that they are a part of this sport. But this is ridiculous. And you hardly ever - EVER - hear about a litany of Penn State injuries. And if whatever was injured was serious enough that four of our ten guys had to take medical forfeits, we would...

This group is special enough that: +They won the regular season championship despite losing at home to Northwestern (and IUPUI), and then won the conference tournament despite the fact that Caitlin Clark led us in scoring in only one of the three games; +They led the 14-team Big 10 in...

1. It is a habit - I do the same thing with my e-mails. And unless it is messing up someone's computer or is in a foreign language, why would the moderator care? 2. Don't embarrass yourself. I've followed Hawkeye wrestling all the way back to the Kurdelmeier era. I can tell you of the...

I should be somewhere between happy and ecstatic about finally getting back on the top of the podium. But I'm not. We needed a young man with a torn ACL to gut it out to win our only individual national championship - and plenty of bonus points earlier so that Saturday night didn't matter...

After playing an evening game on Saturday, the hallowed tradition of moving Iowa all the way up to the front of the line for their 2nd-round game has been maintained. We play Oregon Monday morning at 11 AM on CBS. I thought they quit doing this crap long ago. It seemed to be a preferred...

I was one of the guys who had extreme worry - even pessimism - that we could do what we have just done, especially when we started down a stretch that looked remarkably like the stretch that stretched on for the rest of just about every previous season under Fran. But for once, we don't look...

See my fingers rubbing together???? On to the next story.

As for Gard and Davison's Wisconsin teammates, I suppose this whining is what they think they are supposed to do. OK, Gard is beyond frustrated because what was essentially the same team that won the B1G regular season last year just finished .500 in the conference this year, and tied for 6th...

Someone is going to have to explain something to me. Another poster called the hook-and-hold the "targeting" of college basketball. I'm not sure where he intended to go with that statement, but I can tell you two things: *Both targeting and the h-&-h are REALLY bad technique - a poor...

Um ... unless you're thinking of a different play in a different game (which is entirely possible, especially when it comes to the douche-bag Davison), it was not a hook on Connor's leg. I won't repeat what it really was, but it was the epitome of dirty play - the kind of crap there is...

The Arch Madness website has issued a press release that details what I wrote. And it must be a Friday night, meaning everybody in the sports journalism world, despite the fact this is high season for sports, has decided to hit the pubs and get back to reporting maybe sometime on Monday. I...

OK, I know this isn't Hawkeye basketball. But with a number of the Big Ten conference tournaments taking place at various venues in the next few days, this should make you sit up and pay attention. Apparently, while UNI had been keeping to proper Missouri Valley COVID regulations and...

BINGO! We are talking about an Iowa team that, year in and year out, finds some way to move from one of the top teams in the B1G to a team that always ends up playing on Thursday in the BTT (and was going to again last year), and has then lost the 5-12 game at least a time or two. I would be...

Terrific - I can agree with that. And I have a solution for the problem. How about our current coach showing he really is a great coach and can get these guys back to playing at a high level that returns to being nasty on defense, utililizing sets that bring our star back to dominance, getting...

Thanks to all of you posting back. This is the most back-and-forth I've seen on Iowa basketball in a while. And your comments pretty much have gotten me to comment on all the things that were stuck in my craw. I don't ever want you to mistake my comments as not being grateful for having this...
