    Oglesby: Public Intox

    There weren't any mass shootings, ect. Not entirely true: Charles Joseph Whitman (June 24, 1941 – August 1, 1966) was an American engineering student and former U.S. Marine, who killed 16 people and wounded 32 others in a spree shooting in and around the Tower of the University of...

    Fleming's a Hawkeye!

    No, but there had been several posts between anyone questioning the verbals and your comment so I did not connect the two. Also, the concern was for after Iowa went 19-15, not 19-14. edit: doesn't look like my wink came through for the last sentence. I have never tried to insert one before...

    Fleming's a Hawkeye!

    You do realize that by November 2014 Iowa will not have gone 19-14 in the 2014-15 season, right?

    Go watch the game again..

    A guy I work with (yeah, I know) couldn't watch the game and listened to the Tennessee announcers on the radio last night. They were saying that Tenn was getting away with a lot and the calls were really going their way.

    for those obsessed with the notion that were not in the NCAA

    There are 351 teams that play NCAA Division 1 basketball. 283 of them can not be champions this year, 68 of them can. One of those 68 is Iowa therefore Iowa is in the tournament.

    This year still up in the Air but Next Year

    Regarding Marble: I think he would be best suited in the Scottie Pippen role (I think he would thrive) but on this team he is playing the Michael Jordan role (where he has not always thrived). Not hating, I love me some Marble, terrific player who has done fabulous things here. I just think...

    Wisconsin at Indiana tonight

    I must say it is fun being able to root for the mid and lower level teams (e.g. Indiana and Northwestern) to beat the contenders because it improves our chances of winning the title. For the past several years I would root for the mid to lower level teams to lose so we could, just possibly...

    Dakich thinks Iowa Could be a Top 10 Team

    I must have been watching a different Aaron Craft than you were. The one I saw was very physical and would foul out regularly under the new rules if he continues to play that way and the rules are actually enforced. I remember especially during the NCAA's last year getting sick of hearing...

    ESPN insider has Iowa finishing 9th in the Big Ten

    "With May gone, McCaffery hopes that Marble will take on more of a playmaking role" I liked this comment. What does May being gone have to do with anyone's extra playmaking duties? (Note - I am not hating on May here at all)

    Tyler Ulis Trims List to 4

    Ben Brust in 2012-13 11.1 Pts 5.1 Rebs 2.3 Assts 38.9 % from 3 (exactly the same % as his freshman year). I think that would have helped the Hawks last year.

    New uniforms next year

    Like I said, I am not even sure what the current uniforms look like. I can conjure them up if I try really hard but I have no problem with a change. I do have some concern that they will pick one of the (what I consider) god-awful designs out there.

    New uniforms next year

    How would you be able tell if Penn State was wearing throwbacks?

    New uniforms next year

    I agree. signed, Indiana U. (This doesn't mean I am against the change. I honestly have trouble even picturing the current uniforms. I figure that is not a good sign re: the design.)

    Reality Check: Where Exactly is Iowa Basketball on the Improvement Meter

    Oglesby = 4.8 ppg (shooting like dog-crap, won't argue that) Clemmons = 4.4 ppg Woodbury = 4.8 ppg McCabe = 6.0 ppg TOTAL = 20.0 ppg Not exactly zero offense.

    Bold Prediction for Next Year

    Lohuas was really not much until he was a senior. I just checked and his numbers as a junior, after the red-shirt, were actually a bit worse than they were as a sophomore. I specifically remember thinking in his sophomore year how much he had improved because when someone passed him the ball...

    5 Reasons I'm Optimistic about Iowa Basketball

    Hopefully yet this year but certainly next year, I believe these guys will be winning close games more often than not. We really need some guys that can consistantly hit from outside. Two or three current players have shots that look pretty good, they just aren't going in very often. Add...

    Big 10 refs paid or voluntary?

    Is it OK to complain about the refs when we win and shoot 23 more FT's than the other team? Hope so because that was awful. Consistantly awful both ways. Basabe T'd up for that dunk? Holy crap.

    ***OFFICIAL IOWA - SC STATE GAME THREAD ****

    Absolutely right. We should be more like Indiana and playing a powerhouse like Mount St. Mary's.
