Going to be a few hoops games on the Cock as well.

Creighton is paying 2 million for Dix and 1.8 for Freeman. Creighton has a rabid fan base that is packed for every single game. It's the only show in town in the winter.

Fran had a guy land on the first team almost every season.

I feel like it could be worse than last years, not just as bad. I have no idea if this roster is made to compete in the B1G, last year I felt like they had the talent, they were just awful. This year I think we might lack a little of that talent but have a better X's and O's guy. I am firmly...

I know it's weird to say or even think, but I think Iowa is sitting pretty good at WR. I mean, Sam Phillips already beat him out of camp.

1000X, I was a Fran loyalist but I had a breaking point as well. I maintained that I would be happy as long we were making the dance regularly. Can't miss it 2 years in a row 15 years into your tenure. I turned on Fran before the B1G season started last year. I saw them play Utah St in KC and I...

I am right there with you, I just have no idea what to expect and I think anointing the hire before a single shot is taken is setting ya up for disappointment. I think Ben's the guy, and I already met him and I really like him....but Iowa could be in a few bleak years as he rebuilds. We have...

Unfortunately that's where he had them last year and I thought he was a bozo...and he was dead on

What if Iowa is sub .500 this season? Will it still be fresh?

Yeah, I am not cheering for any of the guys that left Iowa for a bag of money. I can't blame them and I don't wish them ill or anything, but I don't give AF about what they do from here on out. I am a Creighton observer so to say, living about 5 minutes from their stadium. I won't go see them...

This is all based off hope and belief in the new coach, frankly, we have no idea what it's going to look like or be and either does anyone else. I am not saying Iowa isn't going to be good this season, but we don't know right? Like, this could be a rough few seasons to start if the talent isn't...

He was suspended first half of first game for undisclosed disciplinary reasons

I have heard that this is the first year he's really been given extra resources. Thought is that it's held him back - and let's be honest, Fred is going into his 7th season with only 1 tournament appearance. He HAS to win or he's gone, so, I am sure there is a GIGANTIC push to get him what he...

Pryce got over a million - he wasn't getting close to that here.

Fred has strong ties in IA, and Iowa is in transition with their coach. IMO, losing Pryce to them will always be something that bothers me.

Would make sense that PG's might want to play for Ben. I shit you not, watch Iowa be great Defensively, have great PG's and then have NO fucking post play and not be able to score now. As a miserable Iowa hoops fan I almost expect it. We all wanted D and guards, now we'll get it and we'll be...

Yeah, I think Cooper Koch is going to be too good to keep off the court.

Right and I think that kind of stuff is as valuable as anything, half the team already knew the new coaches system, routines, workout schedules....basically the culture and it's already instilled in half the roster, making the transition that much smoother, that much quicker. I think the...

My main Hawkeye feed is Twitter. This board hardly discusses anything. I definitely agree that Iowa fans are in the honeymoon phase. I met BM this summer, great guy. That said, fans overall are not expecting much year one with what we have, which IMO seems short sighted.

I found this on SI in regards to Iowa and this upcoming season. I feel like a lot of people have been selling that BM has not done well, mostly because he's brought a lot of Drake players Iowa fans don't feel like would be good enough to play at the B1G level. I think that's yet to be seen, as a...
