The late hit out-of-bounds call was complete BS and absolutely altered the game, but, either way, completely shutting down the pass offense at the 14 min mark is inexcusable and the blame falls squarely on the coaching. Getting conservative at, say, 8 minutes to go, is one thing, but 14 minutes...

With the attrition we are facing with the offensive line, unless we hit on a few upgrades in the portal, I'm not sure it will matter much which QB Lester successfully targets. As far as I can ascertain from what's been reported, there's only been one lineman we prioritized thus far and he...

All possibly true, but that's not really my point. I was referring to records and statistics, and pointing out that breaking the scoring record in and of itself will not be the bar when comparing any player to Clark. If you combine points, assists, rebounds and steals, Caitlin's collegiate...

JuJu could very well break the scoring record (though I doubt it), but IMO it still wouldn't put her in the same league as Caitlin as a b-ball player. Clark is not a generational player because she scores a lot of points - she's a generational player because of her all-around game, her vision...

It may be some hyperbole, but I thought that Iowa's performance in that game was one of the best I have seen during the Fran era. One, in terms of defensive intensity and hustle, that first 5-10 minutes was exceptional. Utah spaces and motions as well as any team Iowa will face, but yet we...

Those in the know will tell you that Polasek was an abusive a-hole on the practice field. I don't think Kirk was one bit disappointed when he left. As far as o-line recruiting, if there is any stock to be put into rankings, we actually recruited well during that time period. There were a couple...

I'm not on social media so miss a lot of that stuff. I get the point, and, let me be clear, I've always bee a Fran supporter. He's a very good coach that runs a clean program and genuinely cares about his players. I would assume that a lot of the blow-back from fans has been primarily after...

It's a complex and multi-layered issue. I think you are right in pointing out the administrative lack of support and questionable priorities. You would think that when the program hit rock-bottom at the end of the Lickliter years, that a renewed emphasis on support would have happened, but it...

Like some have pointed out, elevating the Iowa men's basketball program is going to be a challenge on several levels. From a head coach standpoint, pontificating whether Fran should get a new contract or be replaced probably is a moot point. My guess is that he's already decided to move on...

Agree with pretty much everything that has been said. There's no doubt that the NCAA could have and should have used some foresight to get out in front of this. That said, I think this situation was inevitable regardless of what the NCAA would have done. At some point, an attorney would have...

He actually had offers from Alabama and Texas A&M, but ISU was on him early and it paid off.

Grant Leeper entered today. Too bad. You don't see too many 6' 7" guys with that degree of athleticism, albeit raw. My guess is, with the new 105 rule, there's just not going to be room for developmental projects.

It's definitely not an exclusive quality..... The difference is Missouri can look like Georgia for a quarter, then Purdue the next quarter. Keeping it real, we never look like Georgia.

Drinkwitz is a good coach, and very good recruiter. As others have pointed out, it's hard to know what to expect with Mizzou. Very up and down, even within games.

The TOs and missed layups were frustrating, but, overall, I came away impressed with this team despite the loss. Very good ball movement and motion, and Jan seems to have them a little more focused and locked-in on both defense and proper blocking-out technique than what we have seen at times...

I may be in the minority, but I honestly don't feel that we ever got a sustained chance to see what Cade can do. Between leg injuries with recovery and conditioning, adapting to a new offense, frequent poor protection and then the concussion, our sample size of a healthy QB comfortable in the...

I've always been a supporter, so have no issue at all if he stays. He appears to genuinely like what he's doing, so as long as he's got the energy to do the job and is receiving satisfaction, he has the right to go out on his own terms. At some point, especially if the on-the-field results...

My gut has been telling me that this season would be his last given the conference changes, NIL challenges, etc. We'll see, but if he announces in a few months he certainly wouldn't be the first coach to say he is staying then leave anyway.

Are you offering to pony up? :cool:

Meh. Every fanbase has the potential to be obnoxious, especially when alcohol is thrown in the mix. In my personal experience, I would say MSU fans are the worst I've encountered, but everybody's experience will depend upon time and place and circumstances. I will say, I've been told more than...
