Izzo didn't want to see Lickliter go either, and publicly said so. Unlike Todd, Fran has had some success against Izzo, especially recently.

He hasn't been anywhere near as animated on the sideline as we're used to seeing-and that isn't necessarily a bad thing. In any case I think that's where the "checked out" narratives are originating.

Think i saw that transfer from Miami in the postgame handshake line. Assuming he is eligible to practice with the team.

Hugely influential. Their brand of sleazy glam rock was evident in Motley Crue, GNR, Poison and many others. Johnny Thunders' guitar work may have reached even further, encompassing the Ramones, Black Flag, Bad Religion and most of the above mentioned bands.

When we beat the Badgers last November it was the worst physical mismatch in the series since we had Shonn Greene in our backfield (and Beilema was told to quit passing out on State street or else) It was a thing of beauty!

Heck, UTEP had Iowa on the ropes in the second round. They were down seven with five minutes to go before that famous depth finally wore UTEP down. That game wasn't in the bank until Sir Jamalot sealed it with one of his famous dunks.

Dubuque native Mike Mercer (Kansas City) kicked the first field goal in Super Bowl history. Terry Bradshaw spent part of his childhood in Camanche Iowa. Assuming his father worked for DuPont or one of the chemical plants and got transferred. Didn't George Kittle score a TD in a super bowl...

Fran seems to have Pickiell and Mike Woodson figured out, for whatever that's worth. Something he did or said at halftime clicked. Iowa was actually the aggressor on both ends of the floor down the stretch.

Sandfort, as I predicted over a month ago, will end up second to Bohannon in 3PFG. A d he has a punchers chance of cracking the top ten in total points.

It is not. Tim Dwight returned a kickoff for a TD in 1999 Super Bowl

He is also the only wrestler to beat Tyler Lindebaum in his prep career. Or was it the other way around?

Al Lorenzen comes to mind. Melsahn Basabe perhaps. But to me it was Kenyon Murray and Kevin Boyle, who's career paths were so eerily similar they were practically joined at the hip. I did a stat comparison of the pair years ago and it was apples to apples. Some who have thrown at me that...

How could that block on Pryce not be goaltending? He pinned it on the backboard on the way down!

He wanted to escape the Florida winter snow and come to a place where there is less snow:)

I was worse. In a story I've told before I'd just got back from shagging flies at a Loras College batting practice while home for spring break. Got home in a full baseball uniform minutes before the start of the game. By the time that second half was over, our living room was full of baseball...

Yes Richmond had the same four in four run we had. And yes Mooney outcoached Fran rhat game. Valid points.

Our best defensive Fran era team was in the Woodbury/White 2013 NiT runner up era. We played solid defense that whole run to the title game. But like @lightning1 tried to explain many years ago, its hard to play defense when you exhaust so much energy running a Fran offense. And Fran has...

USC's biggest addition was their coach. I've always been an Eric Musselman fan back to his Nevada days (see my first ever post on this site:))

Probably more entertainment options on a Friday night in SoCal....and more things to currently worry about.

In terms of effort....can't remember and I go back to 1979. And I cant ever remember an Iowa team getting pounded on the boards as consistently bad as this one. In terms of quantifiable, tangible results....maybe 118-71 loss at Indiana in 1990 (had to look the score up) That team was reeling...
