    I Love This Fran Quote!

    So, you'd rather watch a team milk every freaking second from the shot clock in order to cut the other teams possession time because you can't recruit with them? OK, to each his own...

    I Love This Fran Quote!

    The blowout losses to Michigan in the BT tournament weren't much fun either.

    If Kinnick would get renovated again???

    I can't imagine why anybody would want to abandon Kinnick. 1) It's one of the classic facilities in the B10, can't buy tradition; 2) it's already a perfect layout, with fans close to the action and no viewing obstructions; 3) $90M renovation just completed a couple of years ago; 4) people...

    Any current band members on here?

    I'd say it's the people worried about what music the band plays during the game who are the geeks. ;)

    School Colors are Black and OLD GOLD, not YELLOW.

    Some of us are uniform geeks. Some of us are obsessed with getting a Tiger Hawk on the water tower. Just the way it is...

    School Colors are Black and OLD GOLD, not YELLOW.

    Well, I'd call what PU wears now "pale gold", almost tan (looks crappy IMHO). True old gold like they used to wear is more brownish. If you run across any PU pics from the 80s or earlier you'll see what I mean. Missouri is more the true old gold also. For me, maintaining distinction from PU...

    School Colors are Black and OLD GOLD, not YELLOW.

    From the pics I've seen, yes the 58 unis were that yellow, so we have 50+ years of yellow-gold. That's a lot of tradition to flush.

    Uniforms

    It's been quite a while since an Iowa team took the field in gold helmets and numbers to go with the gold pants, 1970 I believe. I thought it would look OK, but looks even better than I was expecting. Still like black helmets and white numbers better, though.

    What is Bluder doing right?

    I dunno, talent on the roster has not seemed to be the issue IMO. Injuries have been a problem, compounded with her preference for small rosters. Some of her teams have been a bit passive on court, which plays into aggressive, physical teams like Purdue, Kansas, Duke, etc. I think the big...

    Cards/Reds

    I read Rolen went after Carp because Carp was jawing at Baker. Word was that Rolen & LaRussa had talked and were back on speaking terms; however Rolen still thinks the Cards mishandled his shoulder injury.

    Cards/Reds

    Carp deserved to get cleated in the back? So then did Larue deserve to get cleated in the face also? How do you figure on Yadi, given the provocation?

    Who did we play your first time at Kinnick?

    Minnesota. Not sure what year ('68?), but it was when Larry Lawrence and Podolak were playing. We were unstoppable between the 20's. ;) I can still remember guys in the stands swearing when we blew scoring chances. I was ushering with the Boy Scouts, and the Gophers came out on to the...

    PTL Day 1 Observations (long)

    Depends on the coach, but there's some structure. If Larson is coaching a team he really gets into it. That said, there's still a huge difference between PTL and regular season ball. I saw Bohall and Palmer have pretty good nights a couple of times, and we know how that turned out. Still a...

    PTL Draft - how many Iowa players get taken?

    ISU and Drake send players to the Cap City league in Des Moines.

    Does this mean I have to pull for Nebraska?

    I'm an Iowa fan. I feel no obligation to cheer for other B10 teams. I've never been a NE fan, and won't be now. Not looking forward to NE fans polluting the sports boards.

    Kinnick Renovation: Phase II

    Oops, didn't see hoffahawk's post, what he said. Even the supports for the old press box were pretty hefty.

    Kinnick Renovation: Phase II

    Kinnick is fine for the time being. Let's get the Carver work finished and the BB program pulled out of the crapper, and then worry about Kinnick.

    The Death of Big 12 Help Iowa BB

    Lets not forget Hoiberg has 32 NBA GM's on speed dial. No way we can compete with that. ;)

    Really. Government in the state of Illinois is an ongoing tragedy.

    No Rule Prohibiting Big 10 Night Games in November

    I think there are some people who've somehow forgotten what November weather can be like in B10 country.
