Tons of injuries in the defensive backfield really buried Iowa State. They never really were going to have a pass rush so then when they lost the corners it was kind of over on defense. Rocco took a massive hit in the Cincy game and has quite frankly been a shell of himself. I’d love to blame...

It’s probably AI actually.

I paid 21.00 for 1 beer at a dodgers game this summer. Could be worse

Well, there will be 50-60 more men’s and women’s basketball games and wrestling meets. It’ll be fine, and even if it’s not the uni isn’t on the hook for the building costs, it’s in the developer. It won’t be nearly as big as the BPV. I think the basketball games will be a bigger draw actually...

Okay, well since you're so informed tell me how they are funding it and where it's happening. Albaugh and Stine don't give a crap about ISU sports. Tell me the last game they were at. I'd love to hear it. Where are ISU's major donors, why aren't they donating to the collective or to the...

I don't know why Iowa fans feel required to make these excuses but Albaugh and Stine do not bankroll ISU. Iowa's NIL is larger than ISU's. Guys these are non-profits - check their budgets and operating expenses. Iowa's athletics budget/donor base is much larger than ISU's and it's going to get...

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...
