And with that, I'm out. Rob, thanks for running a great site. I've enjoyed the discussions, and the information everyone has provided to keep me "in the loop" on the Hawkeyes. But, after 10 years, my posting days are over. It has nothing to do with all of the recent events, there were...

One thing that I've sloughed off in the past is the notion that there are bad apples in every organization, so we just have to acknowledge it and deal with it. I've change my mind on this in regards to public safety organizations/police departments. I was scrolling through someone's twitter...

If there is to be a discussion on this topic, a true discussion on the advancement of African Americans in this country, then it must not only include talk of unconscious bias, systemic racism and white privilege, but personal responsibility, faith and the importance of African American men...

If this offense can't score points this year, then I'm not sure Brian can put together an offense that ever will be able to do so. ISM is going to be hard to stop. Smith is solid, and can overpower DBs for the ball. Tracy may end up being the most fun to watch, he is electric...

The vast majority of cops are good cops and good people. But it only takes a few to taint the whole bunch and those who are willing to exploit those few for their own ends. It’s sad and destructive on both sides. Where are the supervisors who assign this guy to this patrol? It’s hard to...

Question: If NW keeps the students off campus this fall, will they offer a discount on their tuition? I guess that question applies to any school who elects to keep students away. Some students may just say eff it, and never come back, and come to realize they don't mind not having some...

Not only the losses to Nebraska and Tennessee, but the loss to Iowa State after leading 14-3 at halftime and the loss to Maryland (and even a close game against Wisconsin). Turn around even a couple of those regular season games into wins and CJB likely transfers, and who knows where it goes...

How much longer will Kirk coach? Second question, is there a succession plan for when Kirk retires? Last question, when he does retire, will they keep it in house or go outside to hire the next coach? Many have opined that it will be Brian, but that's at best an educated guess to us...

If it is a rule limiting the number of fans, I trust it won't include this person:

Barring something like the University charging $500 a ticket, if the stadium is opened this fall to the fans, I'm going to the games. I don't need to tailgate and to give random high fives to some guy I don't know, but I will go, because there will have been health care professionals who were...

Maybe this is where Schwartz’s article should have been posted. Talking about the virus is more contagious than the virus itself, and has more mutations, too.

On the one hand, he writes that it's May and no one can predict what September will be like, and ends by writing that fans shouldn't be allowed in the stands for a season that starts in . . . September. Granted it's an opinion piece, but it still should be logical to have credibility...

If the statement was only to cover for the sensitive personal issues he was going through that’s one thing, not that big of a deal. If it was used for obtaining a formal release ruled on by a third party that would be something else, a bigger deal. I always thought it was the former...

In this case, it feels like there's most of the rest of the story. Hope for his sake he ends up doing what he wants to do. Best of luck to him.

His reasons are his reasons, although I would add that playing more is a good balm for the other things that can ail a player.

You should see some of the stuff my kid tweets. Further support why Kirk doesn't let them tweet. They don't always (rarely?) think it through. My two cents - Twitter, what a crappy invention, and belongs in the "just because you can do something doesn't mean you should" category.

The DJ Johnson move to the transfer portal begged a question from me - Without spring practice, is the depth chart static from where it was at the end of last season (of course, not including the guys who graduated or left early)? Guys like DJ might have made a move up the depth chart this...

If it's about wanting more playing time and a guy doesn't see it coming or doesn't want to take the risk that it won't happen, then I'm fine. If it's a dissatisfaction with the program, unrelated to their personal dissatisfaction because of the lack on PT, then I'd be more concerned. It...

Sometimes you don't know what you have until it's gone. Isn't that a song? If it isn't, it should be. Does that give the Hawks some wiggle room on the scholarships? How about that big kid from NIU? Is that viable now?

You're correct, we don't know about Nunge. He looks like a guy who should play inside, yet he seems like a guy who wants to play outside. There's more opportunity for him as an inside guy, but only if he wants to be there. We'll see.
