My guess is both. He'll try to find at the very least a good ball-handler and leader. I'm sure he'll also expect a couple of returners to step up and carry more of the offensive load.

He will be a huge loss, no doubt. As far as other players, there was a stretch there where Luka Garza carried the team on his back for several games. Ben is a smart coach, and my guess is he's been planning for Stirtz's departure for the past year. I would expect to see a solid guard get added...

Some of the most driven people are "Adult Children of Alcoholics (ACOA)." But, they also have profound issues with intimacy, truthfulness and being a functional member within a team framework. I hope Barry and T&T have taken time to work on overcoming the consequencies of growing up in that...

Same. I can't even remember the last time I woke up feeling rested and rejuvinated, and ready to hit the day. I'm exceedingly envious of those who do. In my case, though, I'm pretty sure it's related to an atypical daily migraine disorder. It's like waking up every morning feeling like you...

I like your list. They are all very close, but I would go with this: 1. Banach 2. Tom 3. McIlravy 4. Lee 5. Barry Davis (you didn't include him, but all-time wins leader for Iowa and a silver medalist) 6. Terry

I'm not putting any of this on the coaches. This is all on Keuter. They may have already had that discussion with him. I don't know. From the tone of your post, I think we are both saying the same thing. 3:26 AM? Long night last night?

That really wasn't my point, though. As I stated, NIL is by far the biggest factor. I was just pointing out that it's not the ONLY factor in Iowa's decline. I hold T&T in high regard, but to think that they don't bear any responsibility due to their coaching styles and refusal to adapt, is...

I agree to a point. NIL is by far the biggest driver right now. Little money = little success. As much as I've respected them over the years, T&T do bear some responsibility for this decline, though. I've posted for years about my concerns as they relate the their coaching style/philosophy...

In any sport, you have to take advantage of whatever edge you have. If you're a 7'2', 300 lb, basketball player, you don't hang out at the 3-point line and wait for the ball so you can take a shot... Right now, Keuter is that guy. His only hope is to take advantage of his quickness and length...

Earlier in the season, you could kind of see the writing on the wall. It was a fun ride there for awhile, but it was almost like you could "feel" that the team would get exposed at some point. The biggest issue is lack of urgency defensively. The coaches are going to need to drill into the...

I agree that moving on from T&T has little chance of success, at least in the short term, and, Fry is correct, Beth will have to "read the room" very intently before making any major changes. That said, IF she (the boosters...) decide now is the time to move on, one name I would through out...

I think the distinction is that when you shoot for a double-leg, you're not a missle moving 20 miles/hr.

Obviously, neither is good. I wouldn't characterize hyperextension injuries as "MUCH safer," though. The compressive force can lead to fractures to the lamina and spinous processes, and, in severe cases, a "Hangman's Fracture" of C2. Point being, keeping the c-spine relatively straight on...

What is interesting about the "crown of the helmut" targeting rule is that the alternative actually may increase the risk of serious injury for the tackler. "Head up, wrap up" has been the recommended teaching point for the past several years. The problem with that, is if you are coming in at a...

There you go. It's insane. Just driving a golf cart on the course, it's all you can do to avoid hitting them. Instead of making it punitive, it should be encouraged.... ;)

I haven't checked recently, but, yeah, for years they were/are protected. Either way, I have a clandestine plan to make some "disappear" from our backyard. :cool:

Yeah, growing up in NE Iowa, seeing eagles was a regular occurrence. We get an occasional one here in Indiana. People tend to go nuts when they see one - which I understand - but I'm like, "That's cool," and move on. What I can't figure out is why Canadian Geese are protected (?). They are...
