    Brian's Quote: "If this is my last season as Iowa's OC, I'm at peace with that."

    I thought he was a decent line coach (a position he played, I believe). Neither he nor Kirk really have any concept of offensive football (Most of Kirk's coaching prior to Iowa was spent as a line coach, not an offensive coach). Ken O'Keefe and even Greg Davis were far superior to Brian Ferentz...

    LSU clearly better team today

    I don't count those but that's just my opinion. I'm talking about finishes determined by tournaments or final major polls. The 2023 women's Hawkeyes finished 2nd in the tournament and #2 in the final coaches poll. Iowa football finished #2 in the final AP poll in 1958, I believe. Men's BB...

    Okay Bluder...

    Clark is a generational offensive player and a great rebounder. Her defense could improve??

    LSU clearly better team today

    This is spot on. I love Clark....so exciting.....great young lady off the court.....but everyone has to grow up.....let your on-the- court play do the talking. I think if we had played LSU 10 times we might beat them 4 or 5, but that is not how it works. A 4 minute hot shooting stretch at the...

    LSU clearly better team today

    Great season. No football or basketball team has ever finished better than national runner-up. Clark is a generational player. Even Mulkey said so.

    Have to admit...

    She could make more money with NIL by staying at Iowa the next two years than going to the WNBA. she reminds me of Dan Gable. She could be a head coach right out of college. Incredibly bright kid and student of the game. I predict she skips the crappy WNBA and goes tight into coaching.

    My 2 cents

    Overall, the talent simply isn't there for Iowa. Fran has a nice system and we seem to do reasonably well in the Big Ten, but the talent and athleticism to compete nationally is missing. And I don't really think it will improve any time during the remaining Fran tenure. His two sons are not...

    Perspective for a moment - two fold.

    I simply find Iowa basketball boring as hell right now. We need more athleticism, but when he recruits it, it sits on the bench behind mediocre athletes like his two sons. Bowen should have been playing all year, not Connor. The recruiting really isn't there. Fun team to watch at times, but a...

    Rob Sand Wants Barta Out

    Bruce Rastetter is a kingpin donor (his Ag Summit company has contributed a ton to Iowa’s NIL). He likes Barta. He doesn’t like Rob Sand. Barta is safe.

    How many of you are having a hard time getting behind this year's Hawks?

    We just don’t defend. End of story.

    Iowa Women #2 in the AP

    Great team with great leadership. Men's team? Not so much.

    Wo-Man Up, Time For Some High Quality BBall

    Iowa women have a toughness that the men's team lacks. Very confusing to me. I just think Lisa Bluder is a better coach and there is more buy in from the entire team.

    Iowa State Is A Tire Fire

    Grill couldn't get along with his teammates. Very divisive. That's all I'm going to say. They had no choice but to cut ties.

    Iowa State Is A Tire Fire

    I believe he is 64. There are so many great young coaches out there.....Collins at Northwestern actually seems like a better fit to me.

    Starting 5 Next Year

    Good summary. We need a big body. Does Rebraca get a COVID year? I would also add that Bowen REALLY should stay, even though he is probably frustrated with the minutes he is getting this year....he is in line for a big role next year. Hopefully the coaching staff is making that clear to him...

    Greatest Individual Game In Iowa History

    I guess the great thing about Iowa this year is you can never count them out. This is the third time at home that they’ve rallied at the end to win

    Greatest Individual Game In Iowa History

    I’m proud to say I saw the whole thing. Iowa played loose and with great intensity at the end. Second biggest last minute comeback IN NCAA HISTORY!
