    Fran not retiring anytime soon

    Did not see it but apparently he revealed his intentions in some interview. He is not going to be fired so he will be coming back for at least another year. For those fans who have expressed optimism I hope you are right. I do look forward to Iowa basketball in the depth of an Iowa winter...

    It's Time

    Of course not Ohio State has big advantage in both The statement was made that all Big Ten teams would welcome Fran back for 15th year. That is just ridiculous the bar is higher at most Big Ten schools IMO

    It's Time

    No lets just stop Fran has missed the tournament 2 years in a row. Back in 17-18 (may be wrong year) he went to the NIT and next year was like 14-19 As far as players coming back next year Perkins is gone. I agree Freeman could be a very good player especially if he finds a 15 foot shot...

    It's Time

    I know I have not been a great McCaffrey supporter the past several years but it is not because I am not an Iowa fan. I have experienced the ups of JJ and Fred Brown, Lester and the final four and Marble and Armstrong. Also the downs of Dick Schultz and Lick. McCaffrey has proven to be a coach...

    As Dandy Don said Turn out the lights

    Fran is not going to get a chance to add to his 4 NCAA tournament wins in his 14th year. I guess they still have a shot at playing Western Michigan in the NIT in front of 2500 screaming fans. That may not even happen as the rest of he schedule is pretty tough. Bottom line is we just aren't a...

    Ohio State fires coach

    I guess Ohio State doesn"t have the patience of some I saw a short list of possible replacement and Devries was on the list. I was hoping he would be available when the Iowa job opened

    Anyone going to the game Sunday

    According to The Cedar Rapids paper scanned tickets have averaged a tad over 5000. I would guess less than that for Sunday. On the other side a friend of mine sold 4 Women tickets for the Michigan game for over $300 each. I'm sure a lot of people want to be there when Clark sets the record...

    Anyone Watching Tonight?

    After yesterday kind of tough to watch another one! If we don't play defense and hit some 3s going to be another tough game to watch, but hope springs eternal

    Typical SEC vs Big Ten

    Their second team is more talented and FASTER than our first team. Just the way it is and not likely to change Of course everyone agrees that Hill can not be the QB next year and I think that will be the case even if McNamara goes down (and he will) The other thing is that BF needs to take the...

    Wow what a Pathetic Basketball Game

    Could we have found a worse team to play? I always look forward to watching basketball but I just can't watch anymore of this. Did you notice how may empty seats? Of course they are coming to watch Clark and the women's team What a role reversal of Men's and Women's basketball. Lucky to have 3...

    Someone Has to finish Last

    I think clearly Iowa has got a chance to finish at or very near the bottom of a very mediocre conference. I have been saying for some time (with little agreement from other posters) that Fran would not be the coach in his 14th season for any other team in the Big Ten with his record. No...

    So Does The Bandwagon get Going

    I have on a number of occasions posted that I thought it was time for a coaching change at Iowa. Of course Fran has been better than Lick but that was a bar touching the ground. He has had some exciting teams at least offensively and has been very very lucky to find a player like Garza and have...

    The Good News Coming Out of the Beatdown

    If you have kids that want to go to an Iowa game there will be tons of good seats available. The next Iowa AD has some major things ahead

    No. 4 Purdue Cruises By Iowa

    A complete game by the Hawks Bad defense, Bad rebounding, Bad shooting. I did think they did a decent job of fouling Not a game we were going to win but exposes what we are. If we don't shoot well particularly from 3 we have almost no chance to win against good teams. With this talent Fran...

    Ohio State's Kyle McCord

    Hitting the Portal. Can you imagine the crap the poor kid is taking in Columbus? Probably almost as much as BF is everywhere! Fans are wanting to go after Cam Ward from Washington State who has also entered the portal. Wonder how much that will cost Ohio State? Few million I would guess Is...

    So What Will It Look Like in 5 Years with the NIL

    Just read an article on line about Nebraska. Rhule was answering questions about the Portal and finding a QB. Looks like they want to find one but he says they are going for 1.5 to 2 million. He says he knows of players in the 5-6 million range. Doesn't seem thrilled with the NIL Another...

    Braun Unanimous Coach of Year

    Not surprising I thought Northwestern would be bad before all hell broke loose. I didn't expect them to win a Big Ten game. To win 7 is amazing. I assume Ferentz was second. An incredible feat winning 10 games with the worst offense in the country. And after watching a replay of Nebraska game...

    Ferentz will always do it his way

    And his way has been successful in his tenure at Iowa but a couple of things caught my attention Saturday First I thought sure if we won the toss we would defer?? Our offense Our defense the weather. But like almost always he decides to take the ball. He has deferred but most often he does...
