Michigan state has one of the best defensive teams in the country. It sure seemed to me that we were a far better team when Heiden was on the floor. She's long and she has good foot speed. Would love to see her get 15 to 20 minutes against Ohio State. Maybe have her on the floor at the same...

A very good Michigan State team is playing Iowa tonight with a chance to clinch an outright Big Ten Title with a win, something Iowa hasn't done in 55 years. They aren't going to blow that chance. Iowa has very little chance in this game.

I'm wondering if that horrific car accident involving his youngest son might have taken a lot out of Fran. I can't imagine how traumatic that must've been for him and his wife. I do disagree slightly with one of our prominent posters who said that he hasn't been appreciated enough by the fan...

It would be fascinating to find out what a 10,000 seat new arena would really cost, perhaps located nearer downtown. If Northwestern can build a new football stadium, could Iowa build a new basketball arena? It seems like that would be a big piece of the puzzle. I recently attended a game at...

The general impression I get after talking to a couple of "insiders" is that until Iowa makes a much bigger financial commitment to men's basketball, it doesn't matter who the coach is.....in other words, we are falling behind many schools because we simply are not spending enough on NIL...

In the late fifties and early sixties, during a golden era of Iowa football, taking the train from Des Moines to Iowa City was a big deal. It was a rolling party. My father and mother did it many times, and Dad mentioned that on more than one occasion they were so "tipsy" that they never made it...

Such great work. More of this, please. I think we found out how good the Big Ten really was this year in football. Iowa's 6-3 conference record was an accomplishment.

Hayden also had the genius Bill Snyder coaching the offense. I met him once in his youth.....an incredibly impressive guy. Fry let Snyder do his thing. That was the genius of Hayden. Let the coaches coach! Kirk plays not to lose. Sometimes it works, but it is a two-sided coin.

Hayden was "scratch where it itches." Kirk is " FU I'm going to scratch in the same place every time." Kirk's offense really hasn't been any good since O'Keefe left. KOK was underrated. With an average offense Kirk would have won 70% of his games at Iowa, and a one or two more Big Ten titles...

What a disaster of a season. This team needs to dig deep to make any kind of a post-season tournament.

Yes, they matter. I think it is somewhat similar to bowl games many years ago when the national championship was awarded by the AP poll BEFORE the bowl games. A bowl is intended to be a reward for the players, coaches and fans. And you get extra practices. You have to win 6 games. It is not that...

I think college football is so messed up now that a school's success is going to depend primarily on how much NIL money that have to spend each year. You don't recruit players as much anymore; you simply buy them. I'm guessing Belichick is going to attract a lot of donations to their NIL fund...

When the other team's captains are so stressed out, amped up and full of hate that they don't even shake hands with your captains before the coin flip. At that point you know it's a true rivalry game. Remember several years ago when the Nebraska people started a narrative that basically...

I thought it would be somewhat interesting to see how the Big West teams did this year against each other, and then against the rest of the conference. First, their records when playing each other: Iowa 4-0 ILL 3-1 Gophers 2-1 Huskers 2-2...

This is the finest post you have ever made on this board. And then to use the prayer deal as an excuse to not show basic sportsmanship during the coin toss is just breathtaking in its arrogance. I think it fueled Iowa to hang in there and defeat a good Nebraska team while using a 5th string...

9-1 against these idiots the last 10 games. End of discussion.

This is an important point. Nebraska is a huge game for Iowa. I think that the truth of the matter now is that the bowls outside of the playoff have lost a lot. It would be a a great way to end this season if we played Nebraska as our final game. Send the seniors off in the correct way and...

Maybe Cade will relax and play a little better. He has a chance to finish the season off well. There have been many years when Iowa had no injuries at QB whatsoever. This wasn't the year.....wow.

Last year Iowa went 5-1 head to head against the other West Division teams. How is Iowa doing this year? Here are the current records (head-to-head only) Iowa 3 0 (remaining games: Nebraska) ILL 2 1 (Northwestern remains) Wis 2 1 (Neb and MN remain) MN 1 1...

Still chance to go 8-4. Will play in a bowl game. This is a good team and they have been great at times. I'm enjoying the season. 2 of the 4 losses came down to the very end of the game. Nebraska would love to be us the last 10 years.
