    Why Just Why?

    Rhoads made a QB switch at half today in a game they were still in. It was unbelievable we did not see a switch tonight.

    trophy games

    Not a 100% sure, but I thought they said when the divisions started that it would if that was to happen.

    What are the best basketball programs, job wise?

    My bad. I guess I will have to look deeper before I attempt to correct someone next time!

    What are the best basketball programs, job wise?

    From John's OP: "In the Big Ten, you don't find too many jobs that fit this model. Izzo came from within. Ohio State hired Thad Matta out of Xavier."

    Ok, I have to get this off my chest

    Maybe I am getting too old or don't have high enough standards, but I don't get the "Des Moines has nothing to do" statement. If anything I think it has much more to do if you are younger. Court Ave for one is packed any time I drive by there. Maybe they want a movie theater close by since...

    Radio stream for game

    This is the one I have been using all season. I don't know how they get away with it, but I don't care I guess. 1700 also streams during Twins games and I am pretty sure MLB does not alow that. Maybe it is an "ask for forgiveness later" type of thing.

    Time to eliminate youth tackle football

    For one I am 40 so they probably do now. I was referencing how I grew up and what I was used to.

    Time to eliminate youth tackle football

    I actually wish there was a little less in youth. I came from a small Iowa town. Little league baseball started summer after3rd grade and that was the first opportunity to play anything. My son is not blessed with Athleticism and I believe as he grows older he can learn the fundamentals, but...

    Time to eliminate youth tackle football

    I think you guys missed my point. I was saying that in a bigger school youth sports may be all a child gets if they are not in the upper tier of ability. Not that it is needed to play later on.

    Time to eliminate youth tackle football

    I didn't say it could not happen, just that you can't count on it.

    Time to eliminate youth tackle football

    Wow! What a horribly over generalized statement. You make some compelling points, but it gets lost in your rant. I saw just as bad of collisions in my son's flag football games as his tackle games. Kids run full speed and are expected to just be able to stop and pull a flag. Doesn't always...

    Iowa v Indiana game thread **OFFICIAL**

    I didn't realize they were 8-6, missed that 3 game win streak. Thought they were down around 500. Those are all good points for making the tourney, I was just surprised they were ranked. Guess I was commenting on old info.

    Iowa v Indiana game thread **OFFICIAL**

    Can someone with a better basketball IQ than me tell me how the heck Indiana is still ranked? Don't they have about the same conf record as the Hawks? I know they started out hot in the non-con, but have stalled in conf play. I don't get it. They are a lock for the tourney and we aren't even...

    Oh, for Tebow's sake!

    Yeah, I had the same opinion, though I hated to admit it. At least Lebeau didn't game plan well. They were missing Ryan Clark, and Keisel went out at one point. I don't know if he returned. It doesn't help that Harrison can't scratch himself without them calling a penalty anymore.

    Oh, for Tebow's sake!

    Steelers are banged up, but they are a 12-4 team that tied for 1st in their division that sent 3 of the 6 playoff teams. This wan't like a 8-8 team in a crap division that backed into the playoffs. I don't know how the Steelers let Tebow beat them deep so many times today, but it wasn't a...

    Iowa's Woes are Easily Explainable and Fixable

    There is a problem with recruiting. We are at #37 now. Have been except for a couple of years near the bottom of the Big Ten. I could see that when KF first took over, but we have been to many New Year's day bowls, beaten historic programs in bowl games. In additon to that we have put Dallas...

    Worse time to start a game?

    AZ is only 1 hour behind once DLST ends. So would be an 8pm moutain time kick. FWIW Edit: My bad, I thought the game was at 9pm Iowa time. Now I really won't see any of it.

    If Iowa could defend......

    I thought it was a fun game to watch, the crowd was solid. Purdue seemed to just throw up shots and have them go in all night. I am frustrated by our inability to rebound, especially offensively.

    Barta on Coker

    I have zero connections to the football team. One could not be any less "in the know" than I am. However, some of the people's comments that say they do know say it is a BS suspension. My problem is more that if it is a BS suspension why did it extend through the bowl game. To me that is a...

    Compare the impact of Woodbury/Gesell to Horner/Brunner as freshmen.

    I loved Horner and Bruner, but help me remember, what was their rankings out of highschool? Why is it expected that Woodbury and Gesell can't/won't match or exceed them? Were they that highly ranked?
