I had an apparently stupid AI tell me it was on Peacock.

Don't know how accurate this was as I watched the game while somewhat distracted, but in the postgame interview, Dolph mentioned to McCollum that there are three of his players (one was Banks, for sure) who all seemed to be the same size with the same skill set.

I used to look forward to Katz and his pronouncements, but the past few years, he's become a parody of himself doing whatever it takes to steal the spotlight. No longer a fan.

According to the official stats (which we all know can lean heavily to the bogus side), the attendance for that Wisconsin game was 12,693. And Freeman didn't start for the Blue Jays last night, but he was their leading scorer with 19. Dix had 11. It's going to be weird and a little sad to...

I haven't seen these coaches enough to judge them on their various methods and communication skills, but it appears that McCollum has a quirky sense of humor, so for now, I choose him.

I thought McCaffery's teams could easily play with these guys on offense. They were athletic enough to finish second in the country (to Gonzaga) in assists, tenth in FG %, 36th in Fast Break Points, etc. Unfortunately, it is when you flip the page to Defensive stats that the problem becomes...

I'm not sure I would be making any declarative statements regarding the athleticism of the team. Let's see how they fare against some of the heavy hitters we will see on the schedule. For one game, against an overpowered Robert Morris team, we looked pretty good and luckily, our immediate...

I remember back in the 70's, you could walk into the Field House and stroll right up to an unprotected Floyd. Seems pretty quaint compared to all the security in place today.

Am I the only guy who is troubled with this? First of all, John Deere has laid off a bunch of workers these past couple of years, but they have plenty of money for this nonsense. Personally I am dead set against naming rights. What happens next? The Fancy Feast Stadium? Does the athletic...

Realistically, where will this team wind up in the standings of the expanded B1G? I admit, I know nothing about the players on this team or what they might be capable of.

I sincerely hope that the fans who are able start showing up for the games again and give the players some justification for choosing Iowa.

As big of an Iowa Basketball fan as I have been in the past, it seems bizarre to me that I only recognize two of the names on your starting unit and one (Stirz) because of the publicity he came with. Ought to be an enlightening development for me when the games actually start. As usual, I...

I dunno. Gronowski running as much as he is looks like a ticking bomb to me. Did he run this much at his previous stop? I thought he was presented as a passing QB. Eventually someone is going to get a good hit on him (other teams will make a point of targeting him) and perhaps put him on the...

What an odd upcoming season. I have been incredibly busy and I'm not up on: (1) Who this coach will be in this conference and (2) Who the heck are the players and how good are they expected to be over 18 conference games and a few other necessities. I assume they start playing in 6-7 weeks...

Hope you are able to enjoy your retirement, as I have. So nice not having to be somewhere every morning!

The Shamrock used the KXIC contest every week for a case of beer. After I won it three times and the owner knew I wasn't a regular customer, he politely asked me to quit entering. I remember I gave one case to Jim Collins, an-ex Hawkeye who tended bar there.

This week, with all the conference championships is just the start of the fun. I kissed MrsLucky goodbye and told her I would see her in April.

What traction? There's not a whisper of this on TOB.

Big "Field of Dreams" game tonight. Great opportunity to show the country just how badly the Cubs have been allowed to regress since the glory days of a few year ago. Hope the Ricketts appear to take a bow.

Well, the trading deadline has come and gone and Happ and Contreras are both still Cubs and both of them seem happy about that fact. Now if we can just stop trading talent for beans and start accumulating players we may eventually be able to catch up to the Brewers and Cardinals, but it will...
