    GCU Forward Oscar Frayer Killed In Car Crash

    Just read about it and thought I'd pass this along. Horrible news - life is too short. My heart goes out to everyone in the GCU program...

    Trouble Signing In?

    Anyone else having continual trouble getting signed in on this site? Lately, I have been having to attempt to sign in over and over and over again before it finally succeeds. Even if I enter the correct credentials... It keeps telling me either my account doesn't exist or my pw is incorrect...

    UVA going for the repeat..

    26-14 Gardner Webb, lol. I expect UVA to come back but you've gotta wonder what's going through their heads right now.

    106.

    The number of points Iowa has given up in the last 40 minutes of game play. Time to start paying attention to defense again.

    40 points allowed in 12:57

    After just 31 in the first. What the heck happened to the defense? Its not a 20 minute game. Until Iowa starts committing to playing 40 minutes if defense, every game, they're always going to be looking up at those at the top of the conference. I'm probably overstating the obvious, but our...

    Fran's early success VS Today

    I've thought about this more and more in recent years, but regarding Fran's early success at Iowa, I have to wonder how much of that was a bit of fool's gold. If you think about Fran's best players: Devyn Marble - Legacy recruit (Lickliter landed him). Does Roy Marble have any more kids out...

    Last time Iowa played UConn...

    IIRC, was it Alford's first year, also in MSG? Opening game of the Coaches Vs Cancer classic:

    8-4

    Now we can talk about how great 8-4 should feel. Not convinced we beat Nebraska, though. Or even Illinois.

    When's the last time Iowa won a big game?

    For me, 2004 against Wisconsin is about the last I can remember Iowa needing a win with something on the line and delivering. Don't tell me Ohio State last year.. Great win for sure, but nothing really was on the line in that game. I'm talking about a game that we need to win the conference...

    I wonder what it feels like...

    ...to be a fan of a team that can win a close game? This continues to be a problem. Late in close games, this seems to be the pattern: Offense - turn the ball over or force a wild shot Defense - foul and gift the opponent 2 FT's Rinse and repeat until you've lost the game, even if it takes 2...

    Classic Game: Iowa @UNC 1989

    Been wanting to see this again for a long time. Score. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXCkMhlr0Pw

    Fantasy Matchup: This Year's Hawks Vs. 1986-87 Team

    Since Iowa is having such a great season, comparable to the 1986-87 team, it got me to thinking about how this year's Iowa team would do in a fantasy matchup against that particular Iowa team. I'm assuming the 86-87 team was as it was then - Armstrong, Marble, Horton as sophomores, not Seniors...

    Monday Morning Stuff - RPI, Lunardi, etc.

    Hawks at #9 in the RPI this morning. FSU now a Top 50 win: http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/rpi/_/teamId/2294 As of Saturday, Joe Lunardi listed Iowa at 11th, then tack on the win over Michigan. Presumably, he would list Iowa as a 3 seed in his next bracketology, for what it's worth...

    Did ESPN2 Re-Air the 2013-14 Iowa/ISU game?

    Can't tell. Basically exact same thing. Except this time, instead of missed FT's, it was the inability to inbound the freaking ball. 6 point lead with a minute left... Poof. :mad:

    My Worst Nightmare Just Came True.

    First, Iowa misses the double-bye since neither MSU or Purdue lost down the stretch. So, Iowa gets paired up with the 12/13 seed. Sure hope they don't lose that game.... Welp, they blew it and lost. Might want to consider showing up for the Big Ten Tournament one of these years, Hawks...

    New Bracketology - Iowa a 7 Seed

    About what I expected after last night's win, Iowa up to a 7 seed: http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/bracketology Kind of ironic, last time Iowa was in a 7/10 game, they played Cincy. Why wouldn't Iowa be the 7 seed in Omaha, though? I thought the committee always tried to keep teams...

    I like this team when they shoot less 3's

    The last 6 games, Iowa's 3 point shooting, and results: @Michigan: 4-11 (win) MD: 5-11 (win) Minnesota: 4-14 (loss) @NW: 8-24 (loss) Rutgers: 8-17 (win) @Nebby: 5-10 (win) Rutgers being the real lone outlier (8-17), Iowa seems to be at its best when they are shooting closer to 10-12...

    Classic Hawkeye Games on DVD, etc.?

    Many years ago (back in the 1990s) I was able to get my hands on a few classic Hawkeye hoops games on VHS through a contact in the basketball program.. For a fee of course. Does anyone know if something like this is still available through the university, etc.? If not, has anyone found a way...

    Men's Basketball Assistant Coaches

    I've read enough football threads over the years to see that the assistant football coaches can often be lightning rods of criticism. With the football program, the role of each assistant seems pretty clear cut - offensive coordinator, defensive coordinator, special teams coach, offensive line...

    Why do I do this to myself?

    15 years since Tom Davis was shown the door... Alford, Lick, Fran... Various degrees of mediocre. Wasting my life a couple hours at a time. Honestly not sure why I bother anymore. Hope is the only thing that's kept me around this long, and that is fading too.. Never thought I'd say...
