I don't know why everyone is so upset about a weaker non conference. In most seasons, we are a bubblish type team and strength of schedule matters in the end when you have a 20-12 type season. But this year, we will be a preseason top 5 with probably one showcase game in the ACC challenge. We...

I watched that guy play a little bit and I can tell you we could have used him big time. He would have fit in here perfectly. It is too bad that one got screwed up because he definitely would have made our football team better.

Well said North! With respect specifically to the virus, I live in a county in NC of 160,000 people. We have been in lockdown for I guess about a month now with only essential businesses open. However, the definition of essential is very broad and even includes wine, liquor and beer stores...

The reality of contracting some sort of virus and transmitting it to family members, friends and others is and always has been there. While the severity of covid may be more than the flu with respect to lethality rates, the reality is that flu does kill people, healthy people, and nobody knows...

I dont disagree with what you are saying either. It is an impossible situation where there are no right answers. I just think there is a point where the risk of covid and the risk of economy (when I say economy I mean our way of life, mental health, financial health, etc) are the same.

I am sure I can speak for everyone here and thank your son for his service at this time. I disagree with the rest of your post as being "lighter things" and that there are "wins all around." If our so-called leaders overreact and not allow mass gatherings for the rest of the year, or hell, for...

I think all of it is a moot point. What we know now is that both coaches are very good coaches and probably hall of famers. The difference between the two would have been the talent, and specifically, the skill position talent that they would coach. Geography and conference dictate this more...

If you re read what I wrote I said offensively.

Independent of his teammates, Luka could absolutely improve his free throw shooting and his three point shooting. Those things slide right into his game and would make him that much more hard to guard. Now with respect to his teammates, Fran has an off season to work on sets that get guys open...

Start with the lineup will of Luka, Wieskamp and Fredrick. That is your base to both start and finish. This lineup requires 4 defenders for our 3 guys. Now, other pieces would be JBo, who would certainly require a 5th defender and leaving 1 guy wide open. We have CMac, not the most...

Garza is going to get 20-25 shots a game, so it just depends on what shots he wants to take. Is a 15 foot hook shot at 50 percent accuracy as good as a 3 point shot at 40? Or a low post move at 60? Problem is that while he can stroke the 3, if he is out on the perimeter who rebounds? And...

Looks like to me that the goal here is to turn Luka's game into a more Dirk Novitski type. And really, why not? He has the size, the reach, and with a more dependable shot as well as he moves on the low block, he could be truly unguardable at any level.

Not a chance. The only way anyone on this board could possibly make that list is if you remove yourself and spare us all your assholishness, because you have that entire list locked up. What a dick.

What I wonder about is the the motivation of the officials to consistently call a certain number of fouls per game, on each team, and at what times and how that is never ever talked about even though the numbers show it. I haven't seen the data nor compiled any, but I would bet that I am right...

Rob, I will first say that I would not want to be in your shoes to have to decide where to draw the line between sports and politics, because our way of life is woven so tightly among them. When I try to decide on where I draw my line, I tend to look at the extremes, and in this case I dont...

There is a whole lot about this virus and its characteristics that we do not know, but the few things that we do know make this a gross over-reaction of historic proportions. I understand what the point of minimizing social contact is supposed to do, lessen the rate of spread, but the severe...

I do like the idea suggested by several players and coaches of giving the seniors another year of eligibility.

What is crazy is that every public event is being cancelled and all with respect to protecting the people from this virus, yet, the k-12 schools are operating normally. If there is ever an incubator for viruses and bacteria, it would be an elementary school!

I know that the predominant stance is that the right thing was done, and to the players and to the teams that it really sucks but it is a life lesson in that life isn't always fair. However, while all of that may be true, it doesn't mean that we have to accept the fact that life isnt always...

NCAA tournament along with all winter NCAA sports are cancelled. Thank you 2019-20 Iowa Hawkeye men's BB, women's basketball and wrestling for keeping us all on the edge of our seats. We will never know how you would have fared at the end, but you will forever be remembered in our hearts.
