    And it’s killing his recruiting and program at Clemson.

    Is there a worse division in the P5 than the B1G West?

    They are playing better in large part due to the schedule they are playing. They play us every year and have 2 decades of video to know how to exploit us. It was common knowledge that they had a great off season and we were only a favorite by Kinnick itself so even Vegas felt this was a toss...

    Is there a worse division in the P5 than the B1G West?

    That’s the same song and dance we always hear. The ‘if we played today’ card. They had their stud tailback and miracle worker QB in September and could not score. Yet ‘today’ they are much improved after playing in a marginal conference. Nice try troll.

    Howe column: Beast of the Big Ten West Takes Out Hawkeyes Again

    Last night was a program win for Wisconsin. They are simply a better program hands down. The proof is in the numbers. Had it not been for a forced fumble at the goal line in 2015 we might be looking at 7 straight losses. Many of those losses came down to the 4th quarter where programs win...

    Maryland is worse off keeping Durkin

    Durkin (and Court) will be unhireable in the coaching profession.

    Howe: Iowa Does It Right in Meeting Off-Field Issues Head On

    We sit in different areas of the stadium and run with different groups of fans evidently because that’s not the sentiment I hear from anyone. Losses and mediocre to poor seasons sting. This is facetious in what I say here.... but let me know when we hang our next ‘did it the right way’ banner...

    Howe: Iowa Does It Right in Meeting Off-Field Issues Head On

    I did not say anything about wanting a dirty program. I am commenting because I just find the cynicism in this ‘do it the right way’, ‘run a clean program’ and ‘don’t embarrass us’ type of narrative only to be followed by the narrative from the same media and fans discussing ‘what’s wrong with...

    Howe: Iowa Does It Right in Meeting Off-Field Issues Head On

    Doing the right thing can and usually does mean more losses which in turn less interest/vigor for the program. Recruiting suffers because the outside narrative is ‘they are hard on players’ or ‘treat them unfairly’ type of stuff. In the end I guess the tough calls are made to help young men...

    Can I ask a question

    I don’t know many old men that talk like a valley girl. Just write your question in English if you want an answer. Still not sure what this thread is about.

    Will Daniels stay healthy ... that’s the question.

    Wow. Fran must be feeling some heat for missing out on DJ

    I’m betting against fools that think changing coaches alone will solve the problem when the problems run much deeper than the coach. That’s the point. You want real change then you’d better focus on the underlying issues. The data backs me up and that’s 4 different coaches over almost 30...

    Wow. Fran must be feeling some heat for missing out on DJ

    And we will see who is right after the next rinse and repeat hire. I’m betting on me but you’ll be no where to be found when it comes time for me to collect.

    Wow. Fran must be feeling some heat for missing out on DJ

    2) You need clarification. We need a new smaller arena for basketball only close to students. It shows commitment, provides something to see for fans and most importantly to build a true home court advantage and engage students. That has nothing to do with a fan’s good will meter. It’s...

    Wow. Fran must be feeling some heat for missing out on DJ

    The same irony / hypocrisy you are pointing out about recruiting which is a good point also applies to wanting a new coach. In the last 30 years over 4 coaches there have been a few bright spots but not much to celebrate about consistently. That speaks to a systemic university issue not a...

    Wirfs Arrested

    I’m not looking for a fight ... I just noticed your comment speculating that this could be an indicator of a lack of focus and if so we could be in for a 6-6 type season. I pointed out we’ve also done 6-6 with no off the field incidents too. This strikes a cord with me that we are so prompt to...

    Wirfs Arrested

    I think it’s total bull crap trying to infer some team incidents to performance. If you or anyone else can provide data on drinking to win/loss performance then I’ll reconsider. It’s common sense to say players over indulging on a regular basis can diminish individual and team performance...

    Wirfs Arrested

    What does ‘focus not that sharp’ mean? The only difference here is getting caught. If he had made it to the destination unscathed you would have not known and he has an all-B1G season you’d then be posting ‘how sharp his focus was’?

    So what is going to take to win at Iowa

    So what is going to take to win at Iowa

    There’s often a bump in most sports as a result of building something new. That’s how you get interest before the wins. There is a new found energy and excitement that comes with something like that. Now the key is building a basketball arena not an arena for everything else. Build it...

    Iowa St. has new uniforms, again!

    The black uniform just shows what Campbell knows and that is there school colors are embarrassingly bad. There’s nothing they can do to spruce them up other than eliminate them slowly. First step, black uniforms.
