    Improving Offense Focus of Iowa Spring

    “But playing complementary football and not being reckless with the football is a big part of that, and being good on special teams. That's been a big part of our (Kirk don’t you mean MY ) blueprint, I guess, and if you coach offense sometimes you may pay a price because maybe we're not going to...

    Hawkeyes Get By WVU, Off to Sweet 16 Again

    Tony Perkins to the Portal

    It is a sad reality. I think a comment Kirk made at his spring football press conference is going to have to happen. He said they are going to have to lay some ground rules on the portal. He didn’t specifically use Proctor’s name but we all know that’s situation is what it was eluding to. How...

    Tony Perkins to the Portal

    Well I made the same comment a couple of weeks ago. I have had moments when Fran really pissed me off, but looking over the lay of the land, I basically said the very point you made in this post for the very same reasons. Unless some multi-million dollar person comes out of the wood work...

    Patrick McCaffery Enters Transfer Portal

    All speculation at this point, and logic would seem to dictate it’s all false rumor. Fran has been treated very well at Iowa by the administration and out of respect he would have informed them already. They then would have announced the search for a new coach to replace him by now. That’s my...

    Well Lester failed test number 1

    Like any normal thinking human who watched last year, I am just shaking my head on this one, UNLESS Lester is the reincarnation of Jesus Christ and can raise Hill from dead. I am just trying to give Lester some credit for maybe having the ability to teach the kid how to throw the damn ball...

    Well Lester failed test number 1

    I understand as it was painful to watch last year. What I am really hoping for is that once Lester gets settled in that he will hit the recruiting trail and bring in a quarterback with the same skill set he had when he was QB. That in and of itself would also open up and improve our receiver...

    Well Lester failed test number 1

    I am also hoping that when Cade comes back he doesn’t trip over a yard line marker and fall apart like a saltine cracker that’s been soaking in liquid for two days.

    Patrick McCaffery Enters Transfer Portal

    Best wishes for Patrick in his last year of college basketball. Even bigger wishes and prayers for him to stay cancer free. Thank you Patrick for all your time and effort as a Hawkeye. Best wishes for Tony also.

    Well Lester failed test number 1

    You’re totally right if Hill hasn’t improved. You do have to remember that Hill didn’t have a QB coach last year and that Lester was a very good QB in college and has had a good amount of experience since college. Hill did show good arm strength but needed to learn how to put air under the ball...

    Well Lester failed test number 1

    I hope Lester gets a fair shot. Sounds like our little control freak head coach is going to do what he always does on offense regardless of who the OC is. Did people even read Kirk’s comments in the article? Low risk offense especially if we have a lead in the fourth quarter. Complementary...

    Tony Perkins to the Portal

    Lol, you just named two of the three I was thinking of, but I agree and would throw Dix in there also. I hope we can keep all three.

    Tony Perkins to the Portal

    Agreed, but what might fall at Fran’s feet is how successful he is at getting into the portal and getting someone to replace him. I am not a fan of this portal BS and I understand how it must frustrate coaches but regardless to be competitive you need to get on the band wagon. The powers...

    Breaking Down Iowa-West Virginia Matchup

    Wow, almost prophetic. Great win today but definitely a tough win. Hats off to West Virginia for battling in such a tough arena. Hopefully the Lady Hawks play better away from home at the next game. They will need to.

    NIT Round 2: Iowa @ Utah

    Despite a disappointing loss me and my two boys had a great time being at the game and cheering on th players. I wish I lived back home close enough to have seasons tickets. It is always fun to have family venues you can go to and enjoy cheering on your favorite team. Freeman is the real deal...

    NIT Round 2: Iowa @ Utah

    Or the SOB’s with hair on the heads, lol. Honestly it was poor officiating both ways. There were several phantom calls both ways. You could see them on the big overhead screen.

    NIT Round 2: Iowa @ Utah

    He was moving slow and had a hitch or limp in his walk. A couple times when Iowa missed shots he didn’t even get back on defense. Obviously in some kind of pain. No explosion toward the offensive basket. As far as Fran was concerned he was a calm cucumber most of the game. Not once yelling at...
