It's a complex and multi-layered issue. I think you are right in pointing out the administrative lack of support and questionable priorities. You would think that when the program hit rock-bottom at the end of the Lickliter years, that a renewed emphasis on support would have happened, but it...

Like some have pointed out, elevating the Iowa men's basketball program is going to be a challenge on several levels. From a head coach standpoint, pontificating whether Fran should get a new contract or be replaced probably is a moot point. My guess is that he's already decided to move on...

Agree with pretty much everything that has been said. There's no doubt that the NCAA could have and should have used some foresight to get out in front of this. That said, I think this situation was inevitable regardless of what the NCAA would have done. At some point, an attorney would have...

He actually had offers from Alabama and Texas A&M, but ISU was on him early and it paid off.

Grant Leeper entered today. Too bad. You don't see too many 6' 7" guys with that degree of athleticism, albeit raw. My guess is, with the new 105 rule, there's just not going to be room for developmental projects.

It's definitely not an exclusive quality..... The difference is Missouri can look like Georgia for a quarter, then Purdue the next quarter. Keeping it real, we never look like Georgia.

Drinkwitz is a good coach, and very good recruiter. As others have pointed out, it's hard to know what to expect with Mizzou. Very up and down, even within games.

The TOs and missed layups were frustrating, but, overall, I came away impressed with this team despite the loss. Very good ball movement and motion, and Jan seems to have them a little more focused and locked-in on both defense and proper blocking-out technique than what we have seen at times...

I may be in the minority, but I honestly don't feel that we ever got a sustained chance to see what Cade can do. Between leg injuries with recovery and conditioning, adapting to a new offense, frequent poor protection and then the concussion, our sample size of a healthy QB comfortable in the...

I've always been a supporter, so have no issue at all if he stays. He appears to genuinely like what he's doing, so as long as he's got the energy to do the job and is receiving satisfaction, he has the right to go out on his own terms. At some point, especially if the on-the-field results...

My gut has been telling me that this season would be his last given the conference changes, NIL challenges, etc. We'll see, but if he announces in a few months he certainly wouldn't be the first coach to say he is staying then leave anyway.

Are you offering to pony up? :cool:

Meh. Every fanbase has the potential to be obnoxious, especially when alcohol is thrown in the mix. In my personal experience, I would say MSU fans are the worst I've encountered, but everybody's experience will depend upon time and place and circumstances. I will say, I've been told more than...

I'll still watch as many meets as I can, but, unless something dramatic happens, it's going to be PSU and everyone else for the foreseeable future.

Never. Even during the worst of times, I spend the off-season missing college football and especially of course the Hawkeyes. Now, do I enjoy the frustrations and all the negative emotions that go with being a sports fan, and in particular the offensive mess that we've been experiencing the...

Other than Long, Iowa unfortunately has a long history of QBs ranging from mediocre to very good (at least at times). And, even Long benefitted greatly from some of the best offensive lines we've had. He rarely had to scramble or ad-lib. Over 40-50 years, one would think that, even by sheer...

Ahhhh. Therefore, you definitely should read that book. It's eye-opening to say the least.

Smallpox was, but the ones listed were not. In fact, measles is on the rise right now due to lack of vaccinations in some areas and travel, leading to increased exposure. The vaccine question will always be controversial, especially the mandatory nature of some. It is a classic example of...

I was more impressed with O'Grady's movement without the ball than the shooting percentage. In fairness, they were basically all layups after nice passes, but she showed very good movement and timing to be in a position to receive those passes. She also seemed more focused and deliberate -...

I can't speak for Rob, but I think the point is that the old days of sacrificing your body for the pride of representing your school are going away whether we like it or not. For the power conferences, the common goal of the players every season will be to fight like hell to be playoff...
