I brought it up in the Media day post. Couple of thoughts. 1. Iowa lead at half 2. they played the games in quarters 3. Iowa didn't play their starters for most of the 2nd half and Parker McCollum played the entire 4th quarter and 4. St Louis is considered one of the contenders this year in the...

Right, and his whole thing is that his players are in IC to serve people...and that means everyone. That's his philosophy, doing things for others selflessly. He'll have a strong hammer, but again, imo, not too much to worry about with what our first few games look like.

He's a big piece of what Iowa is going to need this year, that said, not the first dust up in downtown IC for a student athlete. He'll likely sit out a few games we won't need him for to start the year.

Ben also said he was going to use these scrimmages for situational scenarios and not really worry about PT etc. Like, you know Bennet didn't play that much and he'll likely rarely leave the floor this season.

I haven't been able to find much about it, but I heard on the Hawkeye Report pod that Iowa played St. Louis in a super secret match over the weekend and by the sounds of St. Louis beat writers, Iowa got stomped. Take it for what it's worth - I personally think this could be a difficult...

Says a lot - IMO, he's going to get chewed up and spit out there.

Did any players follow him besides his kid?

Going to be a few hoops games on the Cock as well.

Creighton is paying 2 million for Dix and 1.8 for Freeman. Creighton has a rabid fan base that is packed for every single game. It's the only show in town in the winter.

Fran had a guy land on the first team almost every season.

I feel like it could be worse than last years, not just as bad. I have no idea if this roster is made to compete in the B1G, last year I felt like they had the talent, they were just awful. This year I think we might lack a little of that talent but have a better X's and O's guy. I am firmly...

I know it's weird to say or even think, but I think Iowa is sitting pretty good at WR. I mean, Sam Phillips already beat him out of camp.

1000X, I was a Fran loyalist but I had a breaking point as well. I maintained that I would be happy as long we were making the dance regularly. Can't miss it 2 years in a row 15 years into your tenure. I turned on Fran before the B1G season started last year. I saw them play Utah St in KC and I...

I am right there with you, I just have no idea what to expect and I think anointing the hire before a single shot is taken is setting ya up for disappointment. I think Ben's the guy, and I already met him and I really like him....but Iowa could be in a few bleak years as he rebuilds. We have...

Unfortunately that's where he had them last year and I thought he was a bozo...and he was dead on

What if Iowa is sub .500 this season? Will it still be fresh?

Yeah, I am not cheering for any of the guys that left Iowa for a bag of money. I can't blame them and I don't wish them ill or anything, but I don't give AF about what they do from here on out. I am a Creighton observer so to say, living about 5 minutes from their stadium. I won't go see them...

This is all based off hope and belief in the new coach, frankly, we have no idea what it's going to look like or be and either does anyone else. I am not saying Iowa isn't going to be good this season, but we don't know right? Like, this could be a rough few seasons to start if the talent isn't...

He was suspended first half of first game for undisclosed disciplinary reasons

I have heard that this is the first year he's really been given extra resources. Thought is that it's held him back - and let's be honest, Fred is going into his 7th season with only 1 tournament appearance. He HAS to win or he's gone, so, I am sure there is a GIGANTIC push to get him what he...
