What happened to the Hawks’ nest? Did the vitriol for Alford just kill it?

I am expecting a typical Iowa year…middle-of-the pack in conference play, and a 8 or 9 seed in the tournament. I will consider that a win in Ben’s first year.

George Niang Luka Garza This is basically the Celtics backup front court. Funny, one is a Hawk, the other is a Clone, and neither one are much of a defender. Niang is better in the NBA than he was in college, but he still isn’t good. Garza will never be a good defender. Both will have...

Yeah, that Richmond team was bad. You get the excuses about Keegan’s ankle injury, and all the 12 seeds upsetting the 5 seeds in the past, and you still roll your eyes. It is inexcusable that Pmac was the only one that had any juice after the BIG Tournament.

The 1st paragraph of my post was tongue-in-cheek. Conner is/was clearly upset that his father was fired, and I was clowning around with his deleted tweets. I get your point, tho. A Fran team wants to play with tempo/pace and grinding games out in the 60(s) wasn’t going to happen. Now we are...

Lol, is that an indictment on Fran? Maybe we should let Conner know why his Dad was let go.:) In all seriousness…I am excited what potentially the BM era could be.

Holy shit, coach still has a handle. For a 45 year old, that was impressive.

Yeah, I had similar thoughts. Granted I am not watching a ton of Rutgers games, but the few I did watch I didn’t see it.

Not a big Drew Allar guy, and I was saying this even before the shit throw late in the Notre Dame game. Luke Altmyer might be the only “lock” on the OP’s list. Illinois could be a sneaky 10-2 team this year. Nico I has the highest ceiling, if he puts it together, he is a top 5 NFL draft pick...

I’m in agreement with Fry, other than maybe a high end steak joint. I’m not living a baller lifestyle, so I am not covering the entire tab, but a round of drinks, and paying for my meal…I will spend a little bit of coin for that. Odds of me being in a Ruth‘s Chis or something better, no pun...

Meh I am in agreement with @haydensly, this shit happens all the time. BM knows how to construct a roster, and more importantly, it appears that he will not over pay for dudes…soooo, if he wants to add his kid as a walk-on… I’m good with it.

They have put 2 starting white corners in the NFL.:) In all seriousness, it is everything, everyone else has said in this thread, in regards to the Iowa defense from 19-23.

IIRC, Oklahoma/Michigan is the only big game CyHawk week.

Neutral site games in Sioux Falls and the Quad Cities have had really good fan turn outs. You will get a good crowd in Des Moines. You wish that the opponent would be a little “sexier”, but I get the rationale behind it.

^^^^Ding, ding, ding. Playing Drake at Wells would check so many boxes. My runner up would be Creighton.

Does it matter that you have 60,000 for Ball St. or 65,000 for Arkansas, for a home game in mid-September? What matters to me, is being a 5 seed taking on Notre Dame at home, night game, Kinnick being electric.

The more compelling matchups you can get, the better. I get it…OSU/Texas, who isn’t looking forward to that next year? My point is Bama and Wisconsin. Wisconsin didn’t get anything out of it. Iowa/Georgia would probably be similar if they signed up for a similar series. Just play E. Michigan...

Blue blood programs I 1000% agree with. If you are a developmental program in the B1G/SEC and you have a path to the playoff…why play a difficult non-con?

100% I know a good chunk of the fan base wants a sexier non-conference schedule, but I am good playing tomato cans…given the current landscape of college football.

I love that BM isn’t going to overpay for dudes. Now, if that is optional or not, is a different question.:) Until games are actually played, on paper, he does seem like he is “cherry picking’’ in the right way.
