    Only thing as bad as watching the game is reading about it the next day

    As soon as GANNETT owns a newspaper, it will be a friggin' joke.

    Defending Fran's recruiting

    I hate to break the news to some of our fellow posters, but there is not a division 1 coach in college basketball that does not know about everything there is to know about x's and o's. Are you kidding me?

    Consolation Prize: We Graduate Players

    This is NOT a complex issue. Until significant changes are made, recruits at Iowa must show that they "predict" for achievement of a degree. A high school diploma, rank in class, GPA in high school, and ACT scores are the measurement tools typically used to make that prediction. Graduation...

    Head Scratcher: Hawks Have the Highest Paid Assistants in the Big 10?

    This is correct. I wrote down all of the total assistant coaches' salaries by BT team and Iowa ranks 4th behind OSU, MSU, MI. Iowa total is $2,772,186. Everyone is above $2 million and majority are clustered around $2.3 - $2.7 million, including Iowa. The big guys are over $3,000,000. Penn...

    Time to Pull the Plug On the Oglesby's Playing Time?

    Josh will be fine. His percentage on 3's last year was pretty good. He won't be a star, but Fran is clear that J's defense, passing, assist to turnover ratio, rebounding and general play on the floor is pretty darn good and that he will get playing time as a sub in the top 7-8. Fine with me...

    WOW Andersen to Oregon State

    Yup. Hire Barry immediately. Please. Then, you, too, can have absolute chaos in your football program. Barry will be next to be fired, if W. has any sense. This from an Iowa fanatic who has lived in W. since 1981 and is a fanatic about following BT football. Wahoo! I love it, I love it!

    Gary Uses Unacceptable to Describe 7-5....

    OTH...what is the deal with you and the name calling? If you have nothing interesting to say, just stfu. I will take Barta at his word. If my boss had made a state,ent in public like this one, I would conclude that I had been put on notice.

    This myth of Wisconsin's 2014 defense

    Urban also commented prior to the game, on BTN, that "Iowa did a good job of containing Melvin Gordon. You may not be able to stop him completely." I think it is correct that Urban took the Iowa tape seriously, both defensively and offensively. And, cripes, OSU has a ton of really good...

    Winning not not main focus to Kirk & program?

    I cannot even begin to imagine what KF said that did not prioritize winning as the major goal for the Iowa football program. Geez.

    North Florida punks Purdue in West Lafayette

    Another totally predictable statement from good ol' HawkeyeMike23. After Iowa beats up on UNI, I am sure we will see an apology for this silly post.

    Do Your Part - Do Not Purchase Bowl Game Tickets

    I can't go to the game in Florida, but I think I will buy a ticket just to p... off a bunch of guys in this thread.

    Iowa vs Tennessee - Gator Bowl

    "January bowl games like this mean nothing now." You must have talked to the players on the Iowa team? No? Of course, approval for playing in a bowl game has nothing to do with the kids, just fans like you. Stay home. Don't watch on TV. Write anonymously on message boards that we need to...

    bowl?

    Just saw a tweet from a small Iowa newspaper that said Iowa vs Tennessee in the old Gator Bowl...cannot confirm

    Miller & Deace: Nebraska Makes 'Disastrous, Dumpster Fire' Hire

    I find it interesting that many of the sports gurus in the media are calling Nebraska's hire a very good one. They think Riley is one of the most under rated coaches in the business and that he has a wealth of experience in various situations. They also pointed out that NE and Florida. Went...

    Barta "without question.....

    This thread represents a new low on Hawkeyenation. A bunch of hyperbole and name calling...geez, what a bore. Go over to iowa.247sports to read some actual discussion on the topic. You all screamed for a response from Barta and you got it. But, since you didn't get KF fired and GB's...

    Barta "without question.....

    With all the clamor on this thread to fire KF and GB, and all of the criticism of Barta and his failure to hold K's feet to the fire...how many times have you heard AD's come out in support of a head coach, followed by that same coach being sent down the road? I read it this way: if KF does...

    Last night a predictor of more Iowa games this year?

    Fran has recruited long, athletic players who can run. He has gone in this direction since day 1 at Iowa and probably before he ever came to Iowa City. His recruitment fits well with an up tempo offense and a defense suited to either a fast paced or half court offensive set by the opposing...

    Do We Deserve To Be Ranked Next Week?

    At this point in the season, I don't really care whether we are ranked or not. And, I frankly don't think there is enough evidence right now to rank Iowa...or probably half of the teams "ranked" in the top 25 as it stands right now. Yawn.

    Roy Williams Postgame

    If Fran had talked about Iowa players the way Williams talked about his, this message board would have lighted up with "...Fran threw his players under the bus!"

    Do Your Part - Do Not Purchase Bowl Game Tickets

    Yup. People have to make their own decisions about paying money to watch the Hawk football program. I have been reluctant to attend bowl games for a few years because they have become so expensive. A trip to San Francisco for a game would likely run me $2000 or more. For that amount, I can...
