    ***OFFICIAL NW VS IOWA GAME PREDICTIONS***

    Right now any B1G team can beat any other team with the possible exceptions of NE & PSU. It comes down to who's hot. Iowa is not hot right now and will probably lose a few more games until JBo comes out of his shooting slump. When he is hitting his 3s, I don't think any team in league can...

    Purdue observations

    Agree with your observations. I would add that Toussaint made positive contributions and didn't force it - which sometimes does. Great feeds to Keegan, who also had a good game.

    Should the first call go to Bob Stoops?

    Damario Solomon-Simmons, the attorney representing the ex-players, may have more to say than this year's won-loss record. If he is able to actually bring a case to court, this would be the second discrimination case against this Athletic Department. Unless I missed it, Iowa is the only P5...

    Another in a long line of mediocre QB

    I believe it was when we lost to Great Lakes Navy in our first game in 1918.

    8 Players Sue for $20 Million

    My guess is that the Athletic Dept thought that they checked enough boxes that they could put this behind them. The problem is they don't get to decide if it is enough. Most posters are only discussing the financial motivations of the disgruntled ex-players but don't forget that 10 million was...

    Social Issue/Political Discussion Relating to Iowa Football

    If past is prologue, we only need to go back to the last investigation into this Athletic Dept. - the Jane Meyer and Tracey Griesbaum debacle. It cost the Athletic Dept a bunch of money, there was an internal investigation and nobody lost their job. I believe the recommendations from that...

    Nine More Positive COVID-19 Tests in Iowa Athletic Department

    Probably about 90% of the experts are against encouraging herd immunity the rest are Fox News contributors. Keeping the rate of infections under control is mostly about keeping ICU room and staffing needs under capacity. So when a biker not wearing a helmet is in an accident, there is a bed...

    Racism unique to only Iowa within the college ranks?

    That is how he has won in the past and many players stayed silent because the pros outweighed the cons. Now the floodgates have been opened KF must change or at least give the appearance of change. Parting ways with Doyle, listening sessions, and anti-racist training may be sufficient to...

    Racism unique to only Iowa within the college ranks?

    "Under control" - discipline and culture play a critical role in what KF believes is key to the program's success. Can KF be successful any other way?

    Racism unique to only Iowa within the college ranks?

    Good points. I would add the the culture usually reflects the leader. One of Kirk's strength is his humility and one of his weaknesses is his stubbornness. So if a player has a big ego and tends to brag, they will get more flak given the culture. Kirk stubbornness will prevent him from...

    And a complete lack of emphathy or self-reflection

    Chris Doyle Statement

    Really stupid response from Doyle. How can he possibly know how others interpret his "motivational" comments? Rather than declare his innocence he should have expressed his regrets that former players felt that way and his willingness to learn how to more effectively motivate without degrading...

    Really, Hawks?

    Hindsight is always 20/20, but Fran should have started Kriener in the first half. Painter and Hoiberg used the same strategy, make Iowa beat us on the perimeter, having Kriener in the game would have given us a better shot at getting a few more offensive (and defensive) rebounds.

    The Hopefully Not Garza’s Last Home Game Thread

    This game reminds me of the DePaul game. Shooting 31% and 19% from 3 doesn't help.

    Let's say Iowa wins out and wins the Big Ten Tournament, could they get a 3 seed?

    NCAA is keen on using their NET rankings. The Hawkeyes are currently #29. I believe that the loss to Nebraska is weighed too heavily. I just don't see us winning out as Big Ten tournament champs. Hope I am wrong, but JW would need to come out of his mini-slump big time. Most likely...

    Anyone Still On Their Soapbox?

    It's a head scratcher to me how anyone can complain at this time about the team or the coach. We are 10-7 in the most evenly matched conference in the country. We almost won at Breslin despite all of the injuries and JW struggling on offense. Who really knows if different coaching decisions...

    No doubt about it, Hawks playing tough so far tonight.
