    Luka Garza Awarded a NBA Standard Contract With Wolves.

    He had a two-way contract but was given a standard contract ahead of the playoffs. Good to hear. https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nba/timberwolves-make-intriguing-roster-move-before-playoffs/ar-BB1l8pI6?ocid=entnewsntp&pc=U531&cvid=4063f9efcf7242b8b47235a6bf565fc3&ei=95

    Run Iowa Run Against UConn??

    Iowa ran LSU out of the gym and the game plan was to run them to submission which they did. LSU came out gassed in the 2nd half. Iowa clearly is a very conditioned team as CC and Marshall often play the entire game. I don't know how well that will work against UConn as UConn I suspect is also...

    Stephen A. Smith Rant - Vote For Trump

    I wonder if the ESPN Execs knew he was going to do this? I give him props for stating the truth what is happening. He's right. We don't take care of our own legal citizens in this nation now. Is anybody really supporting the Democratic party now? They are absolutely insane and out-of-control...

    Anybody Have An Extra $9,800 Lying Around?

    This is the price of the average SuperBowl which is the most expensive ever, up 70% from even last year. Just ticket and doesn't count travel, lodging and meals. Anybody ever gone to the SuperBowl? Thoughts on experience...

    Star Ranking and NFL Draft

    Kadyn Proctor is coming to Iowa and he was a 5* recruit, one of a few coming out of high schools in Iowa. I heard Mark Rogers state and interesting stat on a Voice of College Football podcast. He stated that in the last 5 yrs, the draft rate for 5* players was 63%. - 5* players are 15 times more...

    Blimps: Are They Still a Thing?

    Remember in the 1970's and 1980's, maybe 1990's the huge blimps that would attend all the big sporting events including college football. Are they still around but they just don't show them or are they a thing of the past? I think they haven't been around for many years. Anybody know what year...

    Michigan Scouting and Cade McNamara.

    I really haven't heard this discussed too much in the media or on podcasts. How valuable is it having Cade on Iowa's team only being a year out from participating with Michigan as well as starting there? He might be the most valuable player on Iowa's roster this week helping with the scouting...

    Don't Look Now, Iowa Flipped The Field With It's Offense!!

    Instead of relying on the stellar D and Tory Taylor to flip the field vs Rutgers, Iowa's offense managed to move the ball and chains, sustaining drives and letting the D rest more. Iowa gained 402 yrds of offense (223 passing yrds by Deacon Hill) and outgained Taylor's punting yards (143) which...

    Kaden Wetjen

    Should they get him more involved on offense? Can't they use him at WR more, instead of just on jet sweeps which will be obvious for the D when he is in and going in motion. When watching him, he's fast as fuckles. I watched him return that kickoff Saturday and he has a speed and seem to glide...

    Tory Taylor Outpunting Iowa's Offense.

    I was listening to "From the Hawkeye of The Storm" podcast, and heard a shocking stat from Cory Brada. Through all games this season so far, Tory Taylor has averaged 288.2 punting yards per game. Iowa's offense has averaged 249.2 yards gained per game. That is a problem!

    Purdue's Phantom Ball Falls Off Tee Call.

    Wasn't that the wildest chit you ever saw in a game. Lol. He completely biffed the squib kick but kudos for the kicker for quick thinking as he completely sold it. I wonder why that couldn't be reviewed as it seems pretty easy to rule out. Is it reviewable or did KF say F it just kick it at this...

    Online Contacts and Eyeglasses

    I was wondering where you all order contacts from and/or eyeglasses. I recently went to the eye Dr. to get my eye situation straightened out as I turned 52. I've had glasses and/or contacts pretty much my entire life. I wore contacts until I started to have difficulty seeing up close late 40's...

    Press Conference - State a Question You Would Ask Kirk.

    I was really interested in the decision to fair catch every KO. I realize later in the game some went deep into the end zone but early in the game there were a couple that could have been returned by Wetjen. Now, knowing there was a pretty good chance the offense was going to struggle to move...

    Should Beth Goetz Rescind Brian's Contract Stipulations?

    I mean this thing has just turned into a national joke and cluster F. You now have Ohio St. podcasters who are gunna allocate 15 minutes each week updating everyone on the progress to 325. You have other teams fan bases from other conferences creating spoof coach press conferences making fun of...

    Where Was Diante Vines???

    After the game it dawned on me, I don't recall him having any catches. Hell, I'm not sure he really had any targets, did he? Maybe one?? So, I was wondering if anybody else observed this or had any info or thoughts. Did he have this stud CB on him all game Saturday or what?

    My Hope For Cade This Saturday.

    I hope he starts and gets 2-3 productive drives with some scores than sit him out to avoid any further injury. This would also let Deacon get the majority of reps for experience and live game action the rest of the game. I just hope between Cade and the D they can put up 24-27 pts by mid 2nd Q...

    Can't Iowa Afford To Take More Chances On Offense?

    I mean think about it. Your team typically has a top defense and they should be stout again this year. In addition, you also have an All-American candidate punter that seems to put the ball within the 20 yrd line 80% of the time. I have heard that Cade takes care of the ball pretty well. So...
