Biggest thing is for me is Swoopes came off bitter and jealous. Some of that may be the attention and money that these young athletes are getting that was not made available to Swoopes and her era. I think the biggest issue is she didn't do her homework. Her chief complaint was that CC shoots...

She also threw shade on Angel Reese. I think it's envy. Look at where the game of women's basketball has gone. I don't believe there has been this much hype or viewership ever. Yet, the WNBA is still pretty stagnant. I think some of it (too) is that "old guard" mentality of playing in a...

I think there's a lot to digest here. We can all agree, our O-line was atrocious. Hoping another year of experience and the addition of Proctor will help. The poor O-line play did not help Hill. But I saw other issues. Mechanics. He seemed like a pitcher with a slow wind up and just threw...

My hope is that if we can even have an average offense, our defense will compliment that and we have potential to have a solid season again. If the O-line remains healthy, and the addition of Proctor, I think this offense will improve. This is a forum and we debate and try to predict what will...

Thanks guys. Appreciate the info. This will be interesting to see how this plays out.

Speaking of Noah Shannon, any chance he gets his year of eligibility back? Does he even want to? That would be awesome to have him come back to be in the defensive line rotation. My fear is that from the sounds of the way the court hearings are going, even if it is reversed (appealed), the...

Were just going to run left and throw that way. LOL. In Proctor we trust. Seriously, I did not expect a big splash at OC . I mean with our current roster and our showing on offense the last few years who in their right mind would want this gig. I'm shocked we got four candidates. That is the...

This is a can of worms. Sanger purchasing the software, using geo fencing to locate underage gamblers, and being told to stop, but continuing. Then targeting specifically the athletic complex at the U of I. Lots of things to digest here. The DCI and the state have already taken a lot of heat...

I think there is also less of a rush since Iowa has no scholarships. I am wondering if there is someone on his list that maybe is interviewing for head coaching vacancies, and with our results on offense the last couple years, I am assuming not many are super interested. Throw in the premise...

He was interviewed during the Purdue/Iowa men's basketball game. Oh boy, the internet exploded on tampering accusations. I think he said Iowa kept in touch with him and encouraged him during his struggles. I'm assuming KP was misquoted or may need to clarify. My hope he stays a couple years...

Any truth that Bama had KP almost up to 400 lbs? I would hope Iowa maybe looks at that and potentially if it also lead to some of his struggles. If I recall, wasn't he prior to this last season 330-350? Some of the knock on him was his feet were slow and that he struggled against edge pass...

Unless we flip the switch on our O-line, and we can pass protect and open holes, Cade will be a sitting duck and likely get injured again. The other issue, once you blow your ACL out, the potential to reinjure it is quite a bit higher. He has done it twice now. I love the kid. Has promoted and...

I was fine with either Philbin or Chryst, and who knows, maybe there is a wild card. At the end of the day, I think it's evident that whomever it is, they likely will align with Kirk's philosophy.

Since we are on the subject of DeJean, I also wonder if he will transition to safety in the NFL. Not saying he is not able to, but we have seen a few of our cornerbacks have to make that change. And does he get some run in potential Heisman hype if he comes back? I don't think he is the type of...

You're right. I think Hurkett can step in and got a lot of quality reps and showed he is very capable to replacing Evans. I think Graves is gonna be a beast. He just reminds me of Jared Devries for some reason. Hawkeyes have used that rotation on the defensive line for a few years now and had...

Let's hope we never have to deal with that ever again! It's wishful thinking for him to return. But I will hold out hope til he makes his decision. It's fun. But I will say DeJean is small town Iowa kid, and cut from a different cloth. He loves being a Hawkeye (as we see is evident by many...

But they hammer Noah Shannon.....funny how that works. It's all about money, and what goes in their pocket. I'm with you, what a joke.

IF Castro comes back, and Higgins and Jackson both decide to come back, we already have YaYa Black coming back. Maybe Coop decides he wants to run it back. I know it's wishful thinking. But if somehow it happened, wow! DeJean is a different breed. While going to the NFL makes all the sense in...

I am 100% with you on this!! I would be a ghost! I always joke if I had my druthers, I would build a cabin/home out in the middle of nowhere and as long as I could get internet so I could watch sports, you would not see me. LOL. Great post and this is just a microcosm of how the world works. The...
