Ditto for best and most favorite Iowa basketball player. Unreal natural talent, plus ability to lift up the game of those around him. I'm sure he's well connected and will land on his feet.

Great video... thanks for sharing. When Hayden came to town 2 years later, he had that capital "I" scraped off the 50-yard line. He said it had been painted and repainted so many times that it was raised half an inch off the turf and guys would trip on it. The few zoom shots show the Iowa...

Wonder if Mr. Alden knows the attendance history at CHA during the Alford era. Mr. Alden, after all, has a relatively new arena he needs to fill, not empty.

I saw a game in Feb 1982 at Field House for B10 title against Minnesota. Gophers were led by Kevin McHale and were absolutely huge. Hawks battled them possession for possession but the game slipped away. The fans were as loud and passionate as usual. I sat in press overhang, which was simply...

As a dad with 3 little kids, I wince during commercials while watching sports on TV. My children deserve to have their innocence protected. I can't protect other kids, but I can protect my own (from music, bad influences from friends, TV shows). My children think those disgusting commercials...

Agree with farmer's OP. Quade is just an excellent baseball man. He showed it in Iowa, and learned even more with 3 years in the bigs. It's his time. I predict he's NL manager of the year and Cubs have a winning record. As a lifelong Cub fan, I love Ryno dearly. He will get his chance...

I noticed the problem began around the time that the video highlight streaming moved to the top. Given that the current highlights are largely the enemy hitting 3-pointers or dunking on the Hawks, can we do without the highlights feature for awhile?

BMG - Barta must go. He botched the athletic department's handling of the rape case (female athlete was ridiculed by teammates while one of Barta's subordinates looked other way), he hired TL 4 years ago (when will it recover?), and now he's playing golf while our flagship program is being...

Getting admitted is one thing ... ... finding that the insurance company lets someone stay more than 48 hours is quite noteworthy in itself. p.s. it is spelled HIPAA.

OK, so KF was out of town and could not attend. We understand. Where was Barta? If this is a PR disaster, the SID office reports to him. Is he not accountable, either for his football coaches' training methods, or the public relations decisions? Why did he choose to send Iowa football...

From DMR story: Gary Barta, Iowa athletic director, said football coach Kirk Ferentz remained out of town on a recruiting trip, but was aware that players had been hospitalized. “Our No. 1 concern is the safety of our student-athletes,” Barta said in a news release, “so we are pleased with the...

Adam has had a challenging year, with the highs of great games and lows of poor choices and concussions. He's only 21 and had the weight of the world on his shoulders on game day. He showed flashes of maturity during the season, then crashed at the end. As much as I dislike pressers, he...

Best Hawk rassler ... Dakota Destroyer Most under-rated ... TJ Williams Rassler with name most wished we could hear Haddy announce again ... Ri-co CHIP-pa-RELL-ee Sanderson was great ... but I can't vote for a Clone.

Dolphin votes for Banks. But he says he thought his first name was Andre?

Wish I could pick the Hawks. Unfortunately, we sat through the Minnie game and watched a team as flat as a pancake. Even a ticked off KF can't fix this in a month. Mizzou by 10. Let's get to spring and start over.

2011: Cubs qualify for the playoffs ... Mike Quade named manager of the year.

In the last 40 years, only one team from the state has advanced to the Final Four. That team was carried on the back of their star player, who really only had one leg. Ronnie Lester is the man. Great player. Great competitor.

Funny story. Too bad Hightower wasn't there, or Jim Bain. Must have been fun for the players to think they could palm it like Wilt.

77, you nailed it. My fifth grader is a DJK fan, so I'm sure he'll be asking. Thanks for the well-phrased words to borrow. DJK, if you read message boards, the lifestyle choice is yours. And never forget that God is a God of second chances, and He extends his forgiveness to you, if you ask...

UNI has more experience, more quality depth, more discipline, and more outside shooters. UNI could be hurt inside, but that isn't Iowa's strength yet. My wife's alma mater beats mine by at least 8.
