Not to be a jerk, but most of those strung out fentanyl junkies are in the midwest. Way lower overdose rates in CA than in places like Ohio.

I probably never watched soccer in my entire life until my oldest kid started playing it. Now I'd much rather watch soccer than football. No commercials, every game done in under 2 hours, I think it's actually better for an ADD society. Unless you consider the fact that most people, even in...

I don't doubt that, but if you're somebody looking at Iowa you're looking at a team where one player is quite possibly the biggest star in Women's CBB history taking roughly 1/3 of the shots on the team. This is Clark's team, it should be Clark's team, when you come in you're signing up for that...

She was extremely unique though. Wasn't there a stat that she hadn't dribbled once in the NCAA tournament? She was the perfect fit for the offense. Most players want the ball in their hands even if they are a center.

I'm not making excuses for anybody but honestly I think this is the issue. If I were negatively recruiting Iowa I would just say yeah you can go there, but Clark is going to get all of the shine and you'll be an also ran. Elite athletes don't think like that.

End of games are terrible. I'd like to see intentional fouls called correctly - if the defender isn't making a play on the ball, it's an intentional foul and that team gets free throws and keeps the ball.

I think it's an absolutely awful hire, but St. Johns probably feels like they need to make some kind of huge splash. I guess exceptions are made for guys who have two national championships, 7 final fours, 6 conference championships. It's come out since that Fran was never a candidate for ND.

My GPA would indicate no, I was not in the library.

It doesn't erase the good times had during the season. But I was a freshman at ISU when ISU went 14-2 and won the conference and lost to Hampton in the 1st round and I'd be absolutely lying if I said that didn't completely sully the season.

You can't include the 200+ low majors when talking about making the tourney. basically 60% of Big 12, Big 10, and SEC teams make the dance. It's still an achievement, it shouldn't be expected, but it's not like some rare thing. Fran has done a good job. I fully expect Iowa to beat Auburn, I...

I agree. I was trying to say something like this. Iowa State is finally dropping some but it’s really only after the blowouts have started. It’s hard to drop if you’re playing all highly ranked teams.

Okay, name the last time a P5 program hired a 64 year old. TT hired Mark Adams two years ago when Beard left them in the lurch and he got promoted from within to try and maintain consistency in the program. An external hire, taking over a program that will be gutted after this year by a 64 year...

In the context of being hired as a college basketball head coach taking over a complete rebuild, yes, I think so.

For the Big 12 this year I think it's a little overrated, simply because they have good noncon wins, but mostly as a conference they have avoided bad noncon losses. Not getting blown out also helps. The Big 12 has 1 Q4 loss and 1 Q3 loss between all 10 teams all season. That has lead itself to...

ISU could not be limping into the postseason any harder. IMO they don't win another game but admittedly I thought that about this point last year. I always say just making the tournament makes any season a success, and any additional goals you hit are just icing on the cake. Man this year is...

You can get Men's tourney tickets for 37 bucks? that's a steal.

I coach Little League (This year I'll have 10 year olds) and last year every kid on my team pitched at least 1 inning except one and he just didn't want to do it. I'm not going to make anybody do it but I'll tell them if they work on it they'll get put in the game. The team who won the regular...

As somebody who lives in the DSM metro, this is absolutely mind blowing to me. That said, I think Ames even had a hard time fielding a team a few years ago.

I think he’s had consistently good teams with the exception of 2018 since 2014. IMO that’s when he hit his stride.

Who will pay him more? He's making almost double what Brey did at ND.
