    Midseason expectations adjustment.

    If we continue to have major issues with the most basic of basketball fundamentals (shooting) it is going to be really hard for us to win many games.

    The big issue with the basketball team is a lack of talent in the art form of placing a round ball into a round cylinder from more than 4 feet away. I have yet to witness a worse shooting team in years of watching basketball. We can guard when we want to. We can run. We can rebound...

    Why should college coaches not bolt to the NFL?

    Disagree. Saban is under intense pressure by a fanbase that is far tougher and more insane than any NFL base to win every year - not go 8-4 and play in the Chick Fil A bowl, but to go 11-1, 12-0 every year. Plus he has to live in ******* Tuscaloosa. Cleveland would be like moving to Rome.

    Why should college coaches not bolt to the NFL?

    It's a blue blood sport. 90% of the coaches in the country walk into jobs where a national championship will never happen. And even with the 4 team BCS, the cards are stacked so far against you it's unreal. Plus you have to work 12 months a year with insane amounts of travel trying to...

    More Smoke Regarding North Carolina and Georgia Tech

    I don't think the B1G is going to stop at 16, I think they are going to 20. In that they add. Boston College (HUGE TV MARKET) Virginia Prestige and swallows up DC UNC Georgia Tech Kansas or Mizzou (maintain midwest roots) and yes, once these dominoes fall, Notre Dame. You can then...

    So which staff member left today?

    Iowa only faetures one back a year. If you only get 1,000 yards rushing in a run first offense that has a feature back, you didn't have a very good year.

    So which staff member left today?

    Ghost - not so much that he's black but that he came with a cool nickname and came from Michigan. If his name was Leo and he came from Idaho...

    $$$ Fran McCaffery $$$

    Binghampton and Albany make Iowa City look like Rome. And no I'm not kidding. And everything I've heard is that Marg absolutely loves Iowa City. It's not like he left from St. Johns and was living in the East Village people.

    Ferentz's Contract: What's in it to protect Iowa's interests?

    I wondered about this too, but not from the position of can we get rid of Kirk, but more - was Barta trying to protect the U from having KF leave

    Hawkeye Mashup: Shimonek Shining, Recruiting & More

    I think Iowa City and the Iowa FB program is plenty sexy to attract top recruits. Top coaches is another story, but if you get into college coaching, small town life is what you are signing up for. And as far as cities of under 100K in the B1G, I'd put Iowa City up against any of them. I...

    Top 10 dissapointments of 2012 college football

    The only thing that Iowa can afford less than KF's buyout is another 4-8 season. I am fairly certain that if that happens again next year that Kirk will not coach in 2014.
