I read through DJK's statement twice last night, and slept on it. The guy freely admits that he repeatedly refused to follow Kirk's directives - and he doesn't know why he was constantly in the doghouse? I found myself thinking that in order for Ferentz to get that angry/vindictive, DJK must...

There's nothing random about it. These events are entertainment and optional. Anyone attending was able to make plans to alter their normal daily routine. Cancelling school is a much bigger deal. Lots of people can't go to work and don't get paid if they suddenly have to stay home with their...

Purdue only missed 9 2-point shots all game, there weren't that many rebounds to be had.

The conference season is a grind. Winning on the road is hard, even against average teams. And on some nights, the other team just doesn't miss. The game was a turd, and is not indicative of any future performances. We laid a turd at Nebraska and then looked like a totally different team a few...

Steven Bardo..."Cordell Pemsl may be the best passing big in the Big Ten" That was a great pass, but let's not go crazy here, Steven.

It's the two-way contract system. Teams get 15 full roster slots and 2 two-way slots. If the parent team loses players to injury, they can convert the two-way players to a full slot, to free up a two-way slot to take a closer look at another G Leaguer. I agree it's harsh, but the players get a...

The "football move" part of the rule is just stupid. He had control of the ball and took 3-4 steps with it clearly in his possession. That was a catch.

People on this board have always been hyper-sensitive to this kind of thing. Inferiority complex much? Gus gushed about both teams at appropriate times, he's a total pro. And Joel Klatt was extremely complimentary towards Iowa throughout. The studio crew had two former USC athletes, so I...

Hey Brian, maybe if you didn't save that drive for when you get down by two touchdowns and coached with more urgency earlier in the game, we would win more games.

Iowa's issue against Michigan wasn't blocking technique, it was a pure numbers mismatch. When a team blitzes, they leave openings that can be exploited - but Iowa's coaching staff continued to run the same slow-developing plays that never work against defensive pressure. Roll out the QB, put in...

After I quit playing fantasy football about 5 years ago, I realized that I have very little interest in the NFL without it.

good teams need a player like Moss: steady, consistent, fearless, talented enough to be periodically dangerous I enjoyed watching Moss play and wish him well, but he was neither steady nor consistent. His flashes of brilliance stand in stark contrast to the games where he didn't assert himself...

That song is aggressively terrible and I can't believe they still use it.

Iowa's lack of athleticism isn't automatically their downfall. What costs Iowa more is that they give away way too many possessions - sloppy ball handling, lazy/dumb passes, failure to box out when rebounding, etc. Mr. Davis would have won more games with this roster. They wouldn't have played...

I thought this was an interesting question, so I looked it up. The last time Iowa played a non-chalk opponent in the NCAA tournament was in 1987, when #2 seed Iowa played #6 Oklahoma (who beat #3 Pitt in the previous game) in the regional semifinal - one game before the meltdown against UNLV...

Aaron White was a much more versatile scorer than Cook is, and was also a much better ball handler. Cook is more physically imposing and can dominate at times, but his effectiveness is muted because he's not a great FT shooter and he's a turnover machine when he pushes too hard. Give me AW over...

Jordan should just sit on the bench wearing a cape and crown for the first 35 minutes of each game, then come in and score a quick 20 and pull out a victory in the final 5.

This is just stupid, Dolph was being complimentary. What's next...banning use of the word "beast"?

From Baer's own words... "...I was just hoping I'd just tip it and then hope it falls to somebody....I was ideally trying to catch it and then make a play, but just did what I could and was able to get it to Joe." Sounds like the play drawn up was "throw the ball down the court and hope for...

They had to make sure how much time should have been remaining after the made basket. By rule, if there is less than .3 seconds left, a player doesn't have time to shoot the ball and is only allowed to score on a tip in.
