    Iowa players getting buzzed

    These are 20 year old kids in college. I bet they are getting outright F'ed up when they drink!

    Big Ten offenses may be in Grave danger

    Not that anyone should need more motivation to play at a high level, but Graves has the ability to play himself into being a high draft pick and banking a lot of cash. He will have every opportunity to get a lot of snaps and create some serious tape for scouts. He is disruptive and that is...

    First step in moving fans closer to the court

    Beth cannot go back in time and remedy mistakes. Nor have I heard any suggestion that there is enough donor money for a new arena or a serious makeover. Baby steps are probably the best that is available, but at least there is some incremental progress on improving the atmosphere. Student...

    minutes this coming season

    Assuming everyone is healthy, I would guess starters are: Stirtz, Hausen, Folg., Koch, and Thompson McCollum usually has a short bench if history holds. I would think that Banks and Manyawu will be in the mix. The back up guard positions seem pretty open.

    Trey Thompson

    Its hard to get excited for more than just what is coming up in the next season given NIL and the portal, but landing this kid could be a game changer for the program. He could be a multi-year starter. I was already pumped for this upcoming season, but having a kid who can score regularly from...

    Gronowski Heisman candidate?

    Injuries were the decisive factor in McNamara's poor performance at Iowa. That and a shitty OC. I thought Toni Moeki was the most naturally gifted TE that has come through Iowa, and that is saying something. But, he could not stay on the field. Injury bug cancels out a lot of talent. If...

    So what do you think about 2026 recruiting

    I remember reading a satirical article by a meteorologist who did the math and determined that given the introduction of washing up on the shore the next morning, they couldn't have been more than 50 miles off shore. And, an island that big, in that area, at that time, not only would have been...

    2025 NBA Draft Guide

    Happy that Patrick is getting a shot at an NBA dream, but that kid has an even less NBA skillset than Sanford. Hopefully one or both can stick with the G-League for a bit, but they seemed destined to go overseas or start selling insurance sooner rather than later.

    Hairball named in lawsuit

    Class act as always, Jim. Its one thing to be a blatant cheater, but to protect a sex predator just to increase your odds of hoisting a very tainted trophy for one season? Shame. Regards, Joe Paterno

    So what do you think about 2026 recruiting

    I am not far off from this, Fry. That said, the House Settlement may change how all this goes down for the better, at least from a fan's perspective. Once the schools start paying these kids directly, they will assuredly require contracts. When it was just schollies and food, all the kid...

    So what do you think about 2026 recruiting

    Those are some big hogs. Can't wait to see them on the field in a couple years.

    So what do you think about 2026 recruiting

    Rivals has us at 31. Rankings are so subjective they really don't mean much once you get past the Top 15 blue bloods. Trying to compare Iowa's class with Minnesota is about as useful as debating whether Mary Anne or Ginger was hotter. Totally subjective. I like the class and trust KF and his...

    Cash decomits

    That might be interesting in a few years, but we will probably have forgotten about this kid by then.

    N Daniel commits

    Actually no, there are still walk ons. The House Settlement does not require everyone to be on scholarship. All it did in this regard is institute roster limits, which when implemented most schools will have nearly all kids on scholarship, but its not required. The cap is 105 kids. The old...

    Iowa assistants pleased with summer basketball workouts

    My point is that every coach has different approach to conditioning based upon their style of play and coaching philosophy. One is not right or better. For those of us that have some serious grey hair, in 1984 Legendary Coach Bud Grant retired from the Vikings and they elevated an assistant...

    The Fever and The Pacers: Really Fun to Watch

    Sophie's got to be the prettiest hockey goon I have ever seen.

    Iowa assistants pleased with summer basketball workouts

    I don't view as that way, just a different approach. Fran usually tried to go 10-11 deep, and so conditioning was not as critical, and as Fran talked about all the time, he was focused on having "fresh legs." Fran had tremendous success during the regular season given the limitations in Iowa's...

    Cooper DeJean & coach Ben McCullum

    Just watched it. Damn, coach can still ball!!!! Love Coop. One of my all time favorite Hawks in any sport.

    The Fever and The Pacers: Really Fun to Watch

    This has not been discussed enough. Sheldon started that whole thing with that shoulder drop. If Cunningham went down it would have been a clear offensive foul. That aint what Sophie wanted though. :) If Sheldon stayed down, it should have been a charging foul on her, and a flagrant 2 on...

    The Fever and The Pacers: Really Fun to Watch

    I just read another tid bit on Cunningham that she played football in high school! She was a kicker and there is video of her nailing kicks in real games. Bad ass lady for sure.
