I don't know how adding more coach's challenges improves the flow of the game. Replay challenges have got to go in basketball. What a waste of time for what is usually just one possession. I know it's an old cliche, but these missed calls even out in time.

It seems like so many afternon games in late August and early September have issues with lightning delays and/or excessive heat, it makes a lot of sense to me to play more of those games at night. Everybody remembers that Iowa-Iowa St marathon game ar Ames delayed due to lighting where the...

I never knew that Kate Martin was Jan's niece. Of course Kate was gone before Jan became the head coach. Jan must be very proud of her niece making it on a WNBA roster.

https://x.com/Brett_McMurphy/status/1928108141587104071?s=01 The threshold for making the College Football hall of fame as a head coach has been lowered from 60% to 59.5%. This change was done mainly to get dearly departed Mike Leach into the hall. But this could be good news for Kirk...

It is an interesting question why Iowa's defense was so good from 2019 to 2023.

This makes a lot of sense. Iowa ranks 21st in attendence and in University endowment funds, and a bunch if other lists I have seen. Iowa also typically finishes 8-5 with the occasional 10 win season. So always good, sometimes great, but not elite. But I do have some minor nitpicks. ...

Yes, I would guess that Bama and Georgia are probably not going to happen. But I would not mind if Iowa and Arkansas play a home and home series. Or maybe Iowa and Ole Miss. Eventually get Mizzou in a home and home, but not for a few years because they just played each other in a bowl.

My attitude about non-conference games has changed somewhat since the Big Ten went to an 18-team divisionless format. Other than playing Minn, Wisc and Neb every year, Iowa plays everybody else about 2 times in 5 years. So you get plenty of fresh P2-level teams each year. Plus you get 1...

Brian's offenses weren't terrible until the 2nd half of 2021. Nate Stanley actual threw a ton of TD passes, thanks in part to Brian recognizing he had 2 TE's with 2st round NFL talent. It also helped that Kirk brought back Ken Okeefe to mentor Brian and act as the QB coach. I don't know...

That's even better than Haley Van Lith in her WNBA debut. Haley only got to play the last 5 minutes of her game that the Chicago Sky lost by 30+ points. She did do well in garbage time though.

For those of who don't have access, can you summarize what the article said?

The Mystics #1 pick in the draft is out for the year with an ACL. This is Lucy's window of opportunity to make the WNBA long term. I expect her jersey sales to be high just like Kate Martin's. The chance that you might sell a lot of jersey's has got to help if you are battling for that...

Is chasing dopamine through technology worse than the old way with sex, drugs and alcohol.

Yes, I believe that is true. Although Morris eventually turned into a pretty good LB by the time he was a senior, he was clearly overwhelmed when forced to play Middle LB as a freshman. I am not sure, but I think back then the defensive adjustments and calls on the field were all made by...

Heard something clever today People 50 years ago had 3 or 4 kids. People today have 3 or 4 dads.

I think it was because of seasons like 2010 that Iowa figured out that a 8-man DL rotation was the best option for Iowa's bend but don't break defense. You want DL players taking 50% of downs off so that they are still fresh at the end of the game. Also this way DL can give 100% on the downs...

BJ must be around 58 years old now. Interesting age for a career change. It would interesting to see what the Kings do with Keegan Murray. Is BJ friends with Keegan or his dad?
