I have met Tim Miles a couple of times ... once when he came in to do a guest spot on a program, and the other was at the arena when he came by to chat after their shoot around. He is pretty much what you see. No fake smiles, no slaps on the back. Just a genuine guy. Almost always smiling. SOOO...

If KF wants BF to be the next Head Coach, he needs to make the move now. Time is running out for him. And, for the record, I am not saying this is something I want, but could see happening. I believe KF to be a good man, but one whose time has come to move on. But Barta needs to go now.

My personal opinion is a lot of stadiums have a problem with the entire game being scripted. I have covered a lot of games and it is frustrating to see the defense sack a quarterback at the 1 yd line, the crowd goes crazy chanting DEFENSE, the opposing coach calls timeout, and the fans quiet to...

Good luck, JD

Too many Athletic Directors around the country are suits with short sighted goals. They look no further down the road than next years budget. They need to realize every year, they lose a number of the ticket buying fans. And to replace them, you need to grow your base. Keep your Sky Box and 50...

“If you like old-school, grind-it-out, knock-the-snot-out-of-each-other-for-four-quarters style of football, that’s what our game against Iowa was like last year. It was amazing.”… So, who do you think said it?

And, if Fran wanted to, or felt the need to, he could have Connor walk on, much like McDermott did at Creighton this last year. I doubt it happens, but can you imagine a 5 star walk on? LOL

JD, I believe, mentioned Creighton having such great attendance over the last few years. And that is undeniably true. They have even brought in extra bleachers to Century Link to help increase the attendance. But from my years of covering Creighton BB, I can tell you it is not all what it is...

So, you're a Nebraskan, then?!?!?! : ) Just kidding

Getting back to Huff, not every player wants to come in to a situation where they don't know if they will play. By going to Creighton, Huff is pretty much guaranteed a starting spot. The cupboard is bare next year, and not much more the year after. He should have very little competition for...

Apparently that is not true. From the article, "Ironically, if there aren't enough bowl-eligible teams for all the slots -- at least a 6-6 record -- bowls will be allowed to dip down to 5-7 eligibility. But those teams will be ranked by highest APR score."

Much like Basketball, the tourney win will get an automatic invite. But the B1G really needs to step up the competition if they want to get multiple teams to the NCAA. Right now, there are only 4 B1G teams in the top 100 RPI, with Indiana far and away the best at #5. After them, it drops to...

Re: Omaha World Herald takes a shot at Iowa Football program, their coach, their fans Maybe instead of criticizing Ferentz for taking advantage of a teaching moment, ol Dirk should be suggesting the Nebraska coaches take a page from Kirk's playbook. Look what happened to the Husker FB team last...

I would love to see some stats on what percentage actually made an impact over the last ten years. I know at Iowa, people point to Gamble, Bullard, Woolridge, Recker, and Haluska as some of the success stories. And hopefully, Uthoff will continue that tradition. But what about the ones who...

Something to think about. Early in the year Iowa was winning and looking good, getting up and down the floor, scoring at a high pace. Then we all know how we did towards the end. Keep in mind the new rules changes regarding hands and arm bars and how close games were called. However, games were...

Is Hawkeye Nation the medium, or the sum of it's posters? Hawkeye Nation as a medium is useful tool and resource, much like Twitter, Facebook, the interwebs, and television. It is how the users decide to use the tool is where the good/bad debate comes into play. For years people have called...

Wow, Miles gets tossed. As much as I like him as a coach and admire him for what he has accomplished, I can't help but think this is payback for all the crap Nebbie fans talked about Fran when he got tossed. How glad they were not to have a hot head as a coach. Yeah ... I know ... Pelini ... but...

I have a hard time picking Iowa to beat anybody right now. If the players weren't embarrassed by the Illinois game, or motivated by the Team Pat game in the B1G Tourney, I just don't see it happening against a team that is on a roll, winning 5 of the last 6. And I hate feeling this way. I am...

Remember When White said he liked it when people talked smack or disrespected him cause it gave him motivation? Well, here is his chance.

The Petteway you saw in the second half was more the real head case I saw earlier in the season and wondered when he would reappear. It shocked me how Miles was able to keep him under control during their run. But eventually, I figured the attitude would return. The bigger the stage, the...
