I would love to know the details of that one day. KOK seemed to go away very quietly and I don't believe he has made an appearance since, the way some of Kirk's other assistants have. They are both gentlemen and if there is any more to the story, obviously neither one talked about it with...

Chasing dopamine through technology is the most damaging thing to our society right now, in my opinion. Tech companies are the new big tobacco, although far more damaging. They are continually "enhancing" products through research to make them more and more addictive and manipulate users into...

I'm not sure anyone could have a better job at Iowa State than what Pollard has done. Can you imagine what he would have done in Iowa City with Iowa's resources and fan interest? (I started to type like three different cheap shots at Gary Barta here but couldn't decide on one so just decided...

Raveling wasn't taking any assistant coaching gig though. Guy had already made a name for himself at Washington State, was in early at Nike, was one of the '84 Olympic coaches that won gold, and left Iowa for USC.

I think it'd be awesome if Jon and Rob could own it someday. They have the right perspective these days. Keep it fun and civil, don't take themselves or the subject matter too seriously, avoid the nonsense.

In the past, could Euro players have any pro experience and be eligible for the NCAA? I'm guessing no, that it is a change, but I don't really know.

Agreed

I love what Lester is doing but he probably wouldn't even be considered for a head coaching job in the MAC right now.

Above or below Matt Campbell?

Iowa is no doubt an easier place to win than Northwestern. But you could also argue Gary Barnett and Randy Walker laid the groundwork for Fitz. They won as many Big Ten titles as Hayden in fewer years. At Northwestern! Something you certainly can't say about places like Minnesota or Indiana...

Apologies if I missed this somewhere, but sounds like he'll be announced as a signing soon. Class of 2025, 6'7" shooting guard from Oklahoma who committed to Drake.

I know it doesn't really matter who starts, but... Chit-Chat Feuerbach Deal Hannah Ava That's a pretty good five.

Plus Chit-Chat Wright is a top 3 all-time name in Hawkeye sports. Sounds like a perfect fit. A true, pass first point guard who is ultra quick and leads with defense. Hits on all the needs.

There has only been one Iowa team over the last quarter century that has come as close to the Sweet 16 as Drake did this year. (The OT loss to Tennessee). So that's where I land on Drake's roster. If a lot of it was due to coaching - then the roster was made up of kids who had the right...

Yep, I like it. QBs, now more than ever, are always gonna be coming and going. More playing time, more money, whatever. There is no such thing as "recruiting over someone." You keep recruiting at all positions, you only promise them they'll get great coaching and a chance to compete, and the...

That said, if I was any Big Ten AD with less football success than Iowa (Indiana, Purdue, etc.), he'd be on my short list.

I think he is a great coach, but out of curiosity I looked up his conference winning percentage. A little rough. 46% vs. 59% for Kirk. That's a pretty significant gap and would be a tough sell. I get Northwestern is a tough place to win, but Iowa isn't easy either. I think you'd hope to see a...

I mean Kirk is one of his closest friends in the business, he's been on the Iowa sidelines for a game, and his kid is now on the team...

I think he has one kid left in high school. I know he was very invested in the local community, even while still at Northwestern. I have a couple colleagues in Evanston with similar age kids and they said he was always at pizza parties, school events, birthday parties, everything....even from...

I haven't followed that news, but just looked him up. I couldn't figure out his connection to Michigan. And then I saw he is currently on his 6th wife, who is a Michigan grad. He's 80, she's 30 something. Also, not all that hot. I mean fine looking gal and all, but if you are 80 and on your...
