Well, wrestling, FB, and WBB are pretty popular, for what it is worth. On the flip side, Iowa soccer and FH should probably be more popular, based upon recent success.

This is exactly what Dochterman and Leistikow said on their podcast last week...they both think the guy can coach, but there is just too much Fran-fatigue to ignore. The constant end-of-year disappointment, the unwillingness/inability to change up defensive philosophy, and the unwillingness to...

I am not sure about next year, but I agree with eventually. I think she will become a valuable piece.

And they were actually down 8-9 before ripping off that 17-0 run to finish the quarter. Wisky didn't score for the last 6 minutes of the quarter.

Hard to ignore UCONN's 30 point destruction of South Carolina...I know one game is just one game, but that was as thorough of an ass-whipping as you are going to see.

I think Iowa may have only won 1 regular season title with Clark (tied with OSU in '21-'22). To win a regular season title you have to have the depth to withstand injuries, off-nights from some of your complementary players, etc. Iowa never had that kind of depth of talent, so it is not...

Thanks...I am really trying to take the long view here. I have done the Core4 gravel ride with my kid that last 2 years (25 mile two years ago, then the 40 mile last year), but my conditioning has been held back by the fact my body can't seem to handle high volumes at this point. I get to...

I made Cajun Red Beans and Rice for a Mardi Gras shindig at church on Saturday. Just had some leftovers for lunch. Such a cheap meal that gives me so much satisfaction! Went to the women's game on Sunday, great crowd. Wisconsin played really well, but the Hawks pulled away and won by 15. I was...

I think it is just hard to play 2 posts in modern basketball. Defenses have gotten too smart, and they defend the restricted area and the 3-point line like their life depends on it. If you have a player out there who isn't in the post, and isn't a threat from 3, the lane becomes so congested as...

Apparently, James Ferentz (asst OL coach) and Steve Ferentz (defensive asst) are already on the staff of the Giants.

Basically, you are starting an improv scene, and you are looking for people to "yes, and" these ideas for entertainment and enlightenment. And @Fryowa is coming in here like Michael Scott, pulling out his finger guns (the right, but boring, answer), trying to shut the whole scene down. No bad...

I am also scared of any mind-altering substances, never drank or used tobacco in my life. I wouldn't have the courage to try them, but when you hear about how prevalent they are among CEOs (especially in tech), it makes you think. Comedian Neal Brennan also talks (sincerely) about how he was a...

Boo, you are not becoming any more fun...you probably need some psychedelics to loosen you up.

You're no fun! Everyone has a price. Also, once you make F you money, sometimes it is not even about getting more loot, it is about power and your ability to wield it (see Musk, Elon). Being the savior of Iowa BB has to mean something.

It turned out pretty good. I rubbed with salt and some chipotle seasoning, seared on all sides in a cast iron dutch oven, and then threw a small, sliced onion in the bottom of the pot. Threw in a roasting rack to boost the roast up, and then cooked at 425 until it reach an internal temp of 120...

That shows you what she can do when she HAS to...her drop in scoring this year is explained wholly by her decrease in volume (her efficiency has gone up substantially). UCLA forced her to carry the load, and she came through. Agreed on the Iowa victory...Iowa's game plan was make anyone else...

Good questions, and I have many thoughts. But, they are going to have to be saved for another day :)

I love a good cabbage and white bean soup. A bit of sausage for flavor, and that always satisfies! As I am sure you know, there is no magic food to eat, or to avoid, for consistent, healthy eating. Always be skeptical of any diet that claims that excluding a certain subset of foods makes all...

Iowa in Tier 4 seems about right, although aspirationally I think we could be a Tier 3 team. But, some of Mandel's Tier 3 teams should NOT be above Iowa: Tier 3 (10): I’m converting this to “every three to five years,” because five is a long time: Ole Miss, Texas A&M, Auburn, Tennessee...

Just salt (supposed to be 1/4 Kosher to 4 cups of water, I usually use 1/8 cup of fine-ground salt), and then rinse, pat, and rub with olive oil and a seasoning blend before roasting. Sometimes I just want to throw them in the oven and skip the rigamarole of the brining, but chicken breast can...
