99% of the public (probably more) would not be able to recall the 2011 rhabdo case. It was news for a few days during the off-season. It became more than it should have been due to Iowa's slow and borderline incompetent response in the first few days it happened. Barta was on a fundraising trip...

Like most things, there are 2 sides to every tale. And if they bring up rhabdo in comparison specifically to Griesbaum, it will allow for the UI's attorneys to paint specific differences between the rhabo incident and the reasons for Griesbaum's termination. In the rhabdo case, the coaches/S&C...

Thank you for bringing facts to the discussion. Since that time, he has been very inefficient volume scorer. Shooting 35% from the field and 28% from 3 isn't helping the team, with the volume of shots he puts up. My hope is that he is healthy enough to play well for however long Iowa is in the...

Bohannon's improving but it's fine to just state facts. Watson was hurt, he has a groin issue that kept him from starting. The first game against Iowa Watson had a career game and did whatever he wanted. For the year, Bohannon has a negative Defensive +/- according to College Basketball...

Yes the more talented RB's you have on board, the better. Bound to get 1-2 who are capable backs if you have 4-5 to start with. Ivory-Martin looks to have some skills as well.

Yes water is wet, and Cyclone fans are going to Cyclone. The regular **** Iowa threads and comments are very creative, not.

Thanks Rob that is interesting. Corrales had a legitimate chance to come in and play right away at a winning B1G program. Same with Holmes. Probably a bit of blame on both sides in the Eno fiasco. Hopefully Mansell stays on board. He has a skill set that could potentially be good in the Iowa...

This x 1000. Somewhere/someone (I don't know who) posted the contrast in responses by both the Iowa team and media after Iowa got its rear handed to it by Penn State. There was no comments about "this team not being 30 points better than us" like the Nebraska safety made after Friday's game. KF...

Lots of reasons. No single reason. And I wouldn't call it a "demise" as Nebraska could still win conference titles and contend for a national title for the right coach. But you could say the same about a number of programs. The Omaha World Herald had a good column from one of the guys there on...

Yeah that seemed odd. With so much of the court system online these days, it doesn't seem like it should be difficult to determine if these offenses occurred in Nebraska, or where they happened (and when). I'm all for people getting help and getting their lives straightened out. But if he's...

Agreed. Overall record vs an opponent is only one part of the equation. I was just trying to think about it from an ISU fan's point of view (very dangerous, I know). When you don't have much to fall back on, then record against opponent becomes the default.

Fan bases fall back on the "facts" or data to support their point of view. For Iowa State, it's their record vs. Iowa. For Iowa, it's the overall program performance. So the two fan bases end up talking past each other, or at least talking about different things. An observation: in 2003 while...

I think they are related. The best way to change perception is to win. If Iowa wins the B1G title game last year, no one gives a flying fart about the non-con schedule of Iowa State, Pitt, North Texas and Illinois State.

I wouldn't say he's a genius. He's happened to have enough good to really good seasons for the university to want to keep him. He had the 2010-2014 mediocre stretch where the contract kept Iowa from removing him. Barta doesn't need to pull out all the stops with this one. The school has been...

For a team like Iowa, it would not matter if the non-con schedule was LSU, UCLA and Florida State, and Iowa won them all. I exaggerate a bit, but for teams like Iowa (or Baylor, or North Carolina, or whatever non blue-blood you want to mention), they aren't getting the benefit of the doubt in...

The only this publication can state that Iowa "only has 12 starters" is if you do things like count Ott as a lost starter, even though Iowa played more games without him than with him last year. Let's go through the list. Offense FB - Iowa will have a new FB. Cox and Pliewa were good, but Iowa...

I'd have to see what the computer model is basing its data on. I know some of the computer rankings didn't like Iowa too much last year. Sagarin had Iowa at 21 last year, which is quite different than 60- It's kind of hard to criticize this as it just says "a pre-season model" predicts Iowa to...

What does that mean exactly? Iowa isn't going to go into Texas and get a QB who is offered by Texas, Baylor, Texas A&M. Not going to happen. Doesn't matter if Iowa goes 12-0 again. Iowa/Davis liked what they saw out of Mansell, and offered him. Of course, it would be great to have all 5-star...

Overall Fran has done a very, very good job in taking the Iowa program from oblivion of the Lickliter years to stability and respectability, with 3 straight NCAA tournament appearances. But to say that the recruiting overall in that time is Fran "killing it" isn't accurate, in my opinion. The...

This is true. If you are in the running back depth chart, things can change in a hurry. Having said that, one can understand why he would move on, and why it's perfectly fine that he does. If I'm Graham, I see Wadley, Daniels, Mitchell all for sure ahead of me and perhaps Joly. A lot has to...
