    Give an Intelligent Answer

    Another flat tire on the Franmobile. Must be the officials, or the reporters. Maybe try coaching and recruiting

    Will best coach prevail today..

    Will be interesting to see to see if Thad makes adjustments and pulls an Izzo on Fran.

    Men against Boys

    Thanks Gary, it never ends. The rest of the Big Ten is laughing at Iowa athletics. No swager. Trice has more guts than the entire Iowa Football and Basketball team.

    The positive

    After this basketball season, I believe Barta will be gone. If not, one more pathetic year.

    Is it Direction, Recruiting or Caoching

    At this point, football and basketball look the same. No emotion, no swager, no confidence, no development of skills. Tonight embarased by kids with parents that attended Iowa and their kids not recruited by Iowa. For all you people that continue to justify this by saying its better than the...

    Please where are you

    I remember the days of Ed Horton, AC Earl, Les Jepsen, Reggie Evans, Chris Street, Chris Kingsbury, Andre Woolridge, Jeff Horner, Greg Brunner, Jeff Moe, Ryan Bowen, Jess Settles. Where are you guys, we have nobody like you. Where is the fight, the energy, the connection to the fans. I miss you...

    The next two years

    Hopefully people are happy with a repeat of 2011. Recruiting shows no indication that talent is coming in. 6-7 wins is the best is expected for a coach that earns a salary top 10 nationally. Eventually, fans will say they have had enough. Its not like the program is spotless, as there are a...

    Clock Management

    Maybe somebody brought this up, but why down the ball and give up a down at end of first half when you have two time outs left. In the end we ran out of downs with 40 seconds left on the clock. Got a FG instead of potential TD

    Lighten up

    Folks, its a college football game. These are college kids, playing on the road against a good team that was clearly pointing at this game. We will not be the only top 10 team to drop a game or win small when you should win big. Yes, I was disappointed and I am sure every player is too. If...

    Chad Walthall

    Chad is still listed as a coach on the roster under Hawkeye.com while Jordan is not. I know they both were supposedly given a look by Ohio St. Chad was lead recruiter on most kids, including Larson and Brust. Anybody know if Chad is seriously considering staying at Iowa if given an...

    It Could Be Worse

    If you think we have problems here, how would you like to be an Oregon fan. Its been more than 30 days and they can't even buy a coach. They have no coach or firm staff with signing day about here. To me, we have the sniffles, they are in the hospital.

    Fran on Big Ten Network

    Just listened to him for a few minutes. Looking forward to raising a family in IA City and wants to coach in Big 10. I like him as a people person. He inherited worse problems at Siena and got it done if you go look back. He has turned programs around before and that may well be why he and...

    Barbee

    Saw on UTEP ESPN Message Board for UTEP that rumor is that well known boosters are saying Barbee is headed for DePaul. Not happy campers, and a bit critical of his coaching skill.

    Remember 3 years ago?

    Please be careful not to get caught up in the tournament. Don't make it the basis for selecting your next coach. We just fired a coach that was national COY and in the sweet 16 with a mid major. Bill Self is the same coach he was yesterday. Roy Williams is the same coach he was last year...

    Situation looks very familar

    As this unfolds, this looks very much like what happended to Nebraska Football. Callahan came in and alienated past players and fans. He had no ties to the fan base and was numb to all the passion in the state. He was an enemy in his own state. After five years, and major defeats, Tom Osborne...
