    Tariffs

    I'm sorry. Not trying to lecture you. I understand that you might have reservations as well. Just trying to point out the obvious pitfalls of tariffs and provide a counterpoint to your implied point that time will tell and that this might somehow reset things for the US.

    Tariffs

    The problem with using Tariffs as a blunt instrument for every country is that you get unintended consequences. Do you think iphones will be assembled in the US? Do you think clothes will be made in the US? If so, you'd have to get Americans to do very manual labor. Also, the cost of...

    Tariffs

    My understanding of tariffs is that they can be used for a limited time in targeted ways. However, using them as blunt, across the board clubs to punish other countries results in everyone losing. Some lose a lot, some lose a little, but everyone loses. To me, in my sorta humble opinion, our...

    Yeah, that's the interesting thing for me. I see that they have young talent on this team, and arguably better talent coming in next year. I'm of two minds about all of this. I wouldn't be shattered if Fran left, but maybe they have the makings a good team in the next couple of years...

    5 Wins and the Hawks are in game thread

    Easy automatic qualifier from this point. Just a few more wins. :)

    Sad

    I have to admit that it would be really exciting to see a new direction, with a new coach. I also wonder if they would consider building a new arena at some point, but I know universities are getting more worried about money now, and who knows what things are going to cost in terms of...

    That's fair. It's a pretty big investment to drive 3 plus hours to see Iowa MBB.

    Dear 12345, I think they played a great game that is worthy of some praise. They lost their best player this year. The big ten is really tough this year. We are all disappointed, but there is some talent coming in (and some young talent). With no respect, and eat some cat shit, Western

    If Hawks win out over the right opponents?

    Heiden was a revelation yesterday. I thought the same thing, that they were better with her on the floor.

    worst losses last 10 years

    Ugh. I agree. I was at that game, and I felt like I was punched in the gut as I left the stadium.

    Owen Freeman OUT for remainder of the season!!!!

    Thank you for the positive vibes, man. I watched Iowa play in person recently and watched them get blown out of the arena. I'm a steadfast supporter of both Iowa FB and MBB, but it's tough to be a MBB fan these days.

    Owen Freeman OUT for remainder of the season!!!!

    Yeah, I know that's actually true, but I would love to see the Iowa women get a natty in a few years. Men's bball will be fortunate to get to the tournament in current state (I really hope I'm wrong). You're right, but if Iowa women's make it to the final four routinely, there a lot of...

    Owen Freeman OUT for remainder of the season!!!!

    Based on the women's current team with the freshmen, the incoming recruits, and the potential to be a legit player long term, one could argue Iowa's NIL money should all go to WBB. They are the only ones (except maybe rasslin) that have a chance at a National Championship.

    Is this the Unraveling 2? The first unraveling is when they fired George Raveling :)

    A modern-day rendition of Moby Dick

    "All of it made up". Bull shit. And so it began. Eight years of unrelenting hunting, pressure, throwing out every means possible to subdue and kill their MD. All of it made up. Lies begot lies. All of it evil. And as it turns out, all of it was ineffective and all for naught.
