Agree. B.G. acted. Its official. Time for a new coach.

Sure bets don't exist. I readily admit that. Iowa overall is doing reasonably well with NIL, but isn't allocating it to men's basketball. That could change with the right hire. Even if we cannot get McCollum, there are other qualified coaches. I'm not ready to give up on Iowa basketball. I...

Respectfully, I don't think that is what happened. Indiana asked him to retire and he said yes and they negotiated a "retirement" settlement of some sort behind the scenes. He knew the handwriting was on the wall. Indiana is trying to win Big Ten titles and national championships and has the...

Indiana did it the right way.

Why is she waiting? Can't secure another coach? Interesting situation. Iowa may not be that attractive right now, with the low NIL in a brutally difficult league.

Crickets from our brilliant Athletic Director. Why is there no announcement, one way or the other? Either terminate Fran or keep Fran. What in the world is she doing?

If we play this hard against Ohio State we can beat them

Heiden needs 20 minutes per game the rest of the way. Period, end of story. She is good on both ends of the court.

Iowa moved up to 23 in the NET with the big win over Sparty. That's 6 quad 1 wins now; only 5 teams in the country have more than six. Interesting.

Michigan state has one of the best defensive teams in the country. It sure seemed to me that we were a far better team when Heiden was on the floor. She's long and she has good foot speed. Would love to see her get 15 to 20 minutes against Ohio State. Maybe have her on the floor at the same...

A very good Michigan State team is playing Iowa tonight with a chance to clinch an outright Big Ten Title with a win, something Iowa hasn't done in 55 years. They aren't going to blow that chance. Iowa has very little chance in this game.

I'm wondering if that horrific car accident involving his youngest son might have taken a lot out of Fran. I can't imagine how traumatic that must've been for him and his wife. I do disagree slightly with one of our prominent posters who said that he hasn't been appreciated enough by the fan...

It would be fascinating to find out what a 10,000 seat new arena would really cost, perhaps located nearer downtown. If Northwestern can build a new football stadium, could Iowa build a new basketball arena? It seems like that would be a big piece of the puzzle. I recently attended a game at...

The general impression I get after talking to a couple of "insiders" is that until Iowa makes a much bigger financial commitment to men's basketball, it doesn't matter who the coach is.....in other words, we are falling behind many schools because we simply are not spending enough on NIL...

In the late fifties and early sixties, during a golden era of Iowa football, taking the train from Des Moines to Iowa City was a big deal. It was a rolling party. My father and mother did it many times, and Dad mentioned that on more than one occasion they were so "tipsy" that they never made it...

Such great work. More of this, please. I think we found out how good the Big Ten really was this year in football. Iowa's 6-3 conference record was an accomplishment.

Hayden also had the genius Bill Snyder coaching the offense. I met him once in his youth.....an incredibly impressive guy. Fry let Snyder do his thing. That was the genius of Hayden. Let the coaches coach! Kirk plays not to lose. Sometimes it works, but it is a two-sided coin.

Hayden was "scratch where it itches." Kirk is " FU I'm going to scratch in the same place every time." Kirk's offense really hasn't been any good since O'Keefe left. KOK was underrated. With an average offense Kirk would have won 70% of his games at Iowa, and a one or two more Big Ten titles...

What a disaster of a season. This team needs to dig deep to make any kind of a post-season tournament.

Yes, they matter. I think it is somewhat similar to bowl games many years ago when the national championship was awarded by the AP poll BEFORE the bowl games. A bowl is intended to be a reward for the players, coaches and fans. And you get extra practices. You have to win 6 games. It is not that...
