    New 2012 offer

    With the large class coming in, I would not be surprised if a couple of kids were redshirted to even out the classes?

    Did I sleep through an entire basketball season?

    Rick Klatt has absolutely no idea what he is doing nor does he want to. Bascially collects his pay and does nothing...

    Big Ten Tournament Bye not out of the question

    Hawkfarmer has it right. Don't kid yourself if you think Illannoy is going to lie down when Iowa comes to town. IF there is ONE team they can get up for it will be Iowa. Iowa has not beaten Illannoy at Illinois since 1987...THAT is a tough tough place for Iowa to play. Perhaps the toughest in...

    what do we really lose when gatens (and other seniors) leave?

    It is always tough to lose a player like Gatens. He didn't really develop into the player he is until his junior/senior seasons though. Next year, we have potentially very talented kids coming in. But the key word is potentially. I doubt all will not turn into super studs. But of the bunch...

    Very happy to see Basabe getting after it

    If he begins to play as well as he did last year, with Marble playing like he is, red playing like he has been playing, and of course Gatens continuing to play as he is, Iowa could very well win the rest of its conference games and maybe even one or two in the tournament.

    Scott Van Pelt's Thoughts on Iowa in the Dance

    Regardless of record, virtually none of the teams on the bubble even have a good record against top 25 teams. Certainly none of them have four wins against top 25 teams.

    Meltdown in Badgertown

    And Wisconsin plays a style of ball that if they get behind double-digtis, it is very very difficult for them to catch up. I hope Iowa DID cost them the B1G title. Nothing would be sweeter.

    What would be better for program development?

    Regardless where they would play or who they would draw, going to the NCAA far outweighs the NIT...

    Booing Brust? I thought we didn't want him anyway.

    Students can do whatever they want...although it isn't like Brust is setting the world of college bb on fire. He will be a junior next year and has done little up to now. Had he stayed, Iowa wouldn't have gotten one of the players they have recruited the past 2 years. I want players that Fran...

    Celebrating the Win

    It just does not matter if people go onto the court. In football, it has become more of a tradition rather than a "stormin' the field" sort of event because we won a big game. Iowa fans just go onto the court and the field because they can. Most schools won't allow people onto the field after a...

    Back to Back Magic: Can Iowa Make the Dance?

    I believe Jon mentioned that Iowa last beat Illannoy in Champaign in 1987. THAT is a long long time. This is as good a year as any to beat them and would be especially sweet this year!

    Storming the Court

    I could care less what the media or anyone else thinks. I like the idea of Iowa fans going onto the court after a game...in both football and bb. I think the players like it and I believe it connects Iowa fans with the teams. I don't think it is a bad tradition at all. If others don't like it...

    Marble's D on Jordan Taylor was terrific

    Interesting to see Devyn develop as he has this year. He isn't his father but he is going to be a very good player and an important part of the equation before he graduates. Going to be an interesting time the next few years to see just how good of a coach Fran can be. As he gets his players, I...

    ESPN College Basketball Live Talks Iowa and the Bubble

    There couldn't be a better time to get hot. Too bad we lost to Nebraska and PSU, those two wins would have really set Iowa up. We just have to go to Illannoy and win and that is not going to be easy. Hopefully, the guys just want to win more than the other team now! A win at Illannoy could be a...

    Conference Qualifier Allocations released...

    Won't be long before the B1G and the Big 12 are the only schools left with wrestling teams...throw in a few eastern schools and you have college wrestling these days. too bad...Nice sport killed so that schools could finance women's rowing teams where they have to advertise to get rowers and...

    Greg Davis recruiting

    Recruiting at Texas is unlike recruiting everywhere else. Recruits go to Texas and all Texas does is evaluate them and then decide if they join the team. Not much running around looking for recruits in other states...

    Talk about sour grapes...

    Maybe the guy should focus more on the inability of Indiana to win on the road the past 3 years. Something like three wins and two have been against Penn St? Going off the top of my head on this, but the inability for Indiana to win on the road says more than losing to Iowa. Indiana basically...

    Big 4 tourney in Des Moines?

    If the Hawks fill the open slot with a major conference team and I suppose this is where the PAC 12 comes in, it will be worth it. A home against a team from the PAC 12 is probably more exciting than a home against UNI or Drake. I imagine this arrangement hurts those two schools by not getting...
