    Starting 5

    Barkley started his pro career a "The Round Mound of Rebound". He weighed in around 280 as a rookie. He dropped over 30 pounds before his second season and found his outside shot. Rodman and Evans were rebounding and defense guys and neither took many shots outside of about 10 feet. Flip has...

    Starting 5

    Brunner wasn't asked to guard 7' guys like Dickinson or Edey either. If you don't think guarding guys that physically outmatch you isn't going to affect your entire game, then I don't know what to tell you. That and the offenses run by Alford and Fran are completely different.

    Starting 5

    Well, I'll point to use another Hawkeye who didn't have much of a shot outside about 10 feet who played 8 years in Europe and was smaller than Flip: Greg Brunner.

    Aaron Graves MaxPreps National Athlete of Year

    That was in the early 1980's. He's currently a supply chain manager for Nestle's.

    Aaron Graves MaxPreps National Athlete of Year

    Well, there was a young man when I coached at Maxwell who was a 1st team all-state receiver, placed 2nd in the state wrestling meet, was on the 4x100 state qualifying relay team and was my starting shortstop and earned all conference honors at that. He regularly said he didn't get a tough enough...

    Pre-season Athlon B1G 1st team offense

    Strange team that Braelon Allen plays for, according to the logo??!!

    Saban Calls Out NIL Abuse

    Sounds like our politicians today. Every politician can point out a problem but only a couple of them can propose any realistic solutions to the problem.

    Early point spreads

    Only a few of the seniors are still there from the 2017 Iowa win. And the coaching staff has all changed.

    B1G records vs winning teams (10 year window)

    Then I guess Michigan is going to have a heck of a QB then because their coach has absolutely no prior experience as a QB coach and never even attended a college football practice.

    Speraw retiring

    And that's bad how? Connor can D up on multiple positions and as a coach he can impart that experience. I just get a little tired of the Negative Nancy's that post on this forum. I've got enough negativity going on in my life (just had my left foot amputated, so now I have metal feet) which...

    Connor McCaffery Announces Return for 6th Season

    I see what you did there.... ;) But seriously, you are correct. There is a LOT more to basketball that scoring points. The offense has to flow for the good shooters to get the ball in their hands at their spots in order to BE good shooters. Every offense needs "glue" players. Players who give...

    Who went to spring scrimmage and what are the big news items

    My thought is that YES, Iowa's offense is much more difficult for the QB and the offensive edge players. How many other offenses in the Big 10 (or in all of the NCAA for that matter) have the offense line up and then all skill positions and most linemen look to the sideline for the play...

    Big Man Iowa Contacted

    Just curious as to why you think he would skip over Windows 95, 98 and 2000 to go directly to Windows XP?

    Here may be what you don't get. Check out the dates for men's basketball. https://www.ncsasports.org/ncaa-eligibility-center/recruiting-rules/recruiting-calendar The end of the final recruiting period was April 28. Ash was awarded a scholarship on May 7, well after the end of the recruiting...

    Josh Ogundele in the transfer portal

    No. In that game, defensive stops were at a premium as the shooting percentages for both teams were low. And we had trouble getting stops consistently.

    Josh Ogundele in the transfer portal

    I would disagree with the line I bolded. We played 10 guys, but apparently Ulis didn't even play a full minute. So 9 guys played. The problem was our bench, which usually contributes quite a bit, was 3-16 from the field and 0-10 from three point range, contributing only 7 points. Having a 12th...

    Brian Ferentz Feels Prepared for Expanded Role

    How do you think Mississippi State or Nebraska feel? Their QB coaches didn't even play college football. Leach played rugby in college (at BYU) and Verduzco didn't play any sport in college. Or maybe you'd feel better if we had a college punter for a QB coach, you know... like Michigan.

    Josh Ogundele in the transfer portal

    He may have had offers from D3 schools, but NCAA D3 does not allow any sports scholarships. Academic scholarships? Sure. But not sports scholarships

    Keegan Murray Enters Name in NBA Draft

    Yeah, dropping to 20 would be absolutely AWFUL.... 2022 NBA Rookie scale contract for pick #20: Year 1: $2,216,300 Year 2: $2,327,100 Year 3: $2,437,900 Year 4: $3,759,242 I can't figure out how anyone can live on a measly $2 million + per year.

    Brian is the new QB coach

    Just to remind everyone that you don't have to play the position you are coaching, here's a list of P5 quarterback coaches who didn't play quarterback in college. This list is likely incomplete. Mike Leach - Mississippi St (did not play college football) Jeff Lebby - Ole Miss (injury forced him...
