    Hawk Central, Tyler Tachman

    Back when I was coaching (in the '80s), I worked the Wartburg Basketball Camp. The coach from Denver (I believe) made the statement "You better hope that your son is really bad or really good because anything in between and you will be criticized mercilessly." When I asked him which was his son...

    Wow what a Pathetic Basketball Game

    Last time I checked, Gaza is on the Mediterranean Sea. Plenty of opportunities to port a boat. And sand? Really? You really don't know your geography well, do you?

    New thread: OC Rumormill

    Did you see them play? I watched nearly all their games (they stream for free). Twice as many passing yards as rushing yards? Over 3,000 yards in passing offense? No way would Kirk allow that offense.

    Harsh reality

    Hey, I liked KOK and he did put up decent numbers on offense. But how many here think he was given free rein on offense? (Hopefully no one is that naive) When he was at Allegheny he ran what resembled the Air Raid offense and won a DIII championship. Does anyone believe that if he had free rein...

    Harsh reality

    I find this reasoning hilarious. When football is played outdoors, which it is for ALL current Big 10 teams, your strategy is limited by the elements. How many games has USC, UCLA, Oregon or Washington had to play in snow? How many in sub-freezing weather? How many with bone-numbing windchill...

    Hawks-Gophers Game Thread

    From the NCAA rule book website on fair catch: A valid signal is a signal given by a player of Team B who has obviously signaled his intention by extending one hand only clearly above his head and waving that hand from side to side of his body more than once. Team B was designated earlier in...

    Hear me out, our fall back could be our answer.

    Please tell me the last time an Iowa team with Kirk as the coach did this. And don't forget that even when our RBs went down and we were using a walk-on as our starting back and we had Drew Tate as QB that we STILL didn't do that. We can talk about doing this until we are blue in the face but it...

    Coaching changes

    Exactly right. Ever since Brian moved from OLine coach to OC our line play has deteriorated. Doesn't matter who's the QB or RB, if they don't get blocking they don't do squat.

    What makes Iowa offense so predictable?

    Lets not forget that during the covid season, Iowa had Linderbaum, Cronk and Jackson on the O-line; all three are in the NFL now. Banwart is on an NFL practice squad now. That's 4 of the starting 5 linemen. How many of the current linemen do you think will be NFL players?

    Should Beth Goetz Rescind Brian's Contract Stipulations?

    I look at it this way: When a new CEO is hired by a corporation, that CEO does not renegotiate all the standing contracts. I myself have been through 3 different CEO's and 5 (I think) CIO's (I worked in IT). My contracts were never renegotiated when the new person took over. Brian's contract...

    UW Board of Regents meeting tonight

    My brother and I have agreed for a while now that FBS college football will have two conferences: the ESPN conference and the Fox Sports conference.

    Major ISU Shakeup

    How hard would it be for a player in those states to 1) Drive to another state before logging in (not hard but time consuming), or 2) Use a VPN, which would completely change their phone's reported location (easy to do, set up takes less than 10 minutes).

    Rashad Godfrey Jr. Commits to Iowa

    Any relation to former Iowa DB Charles Godfrey?

    ESPN Layoffs

    ESPN is owned by Disney and Disney has been bleeding money for several years and has begun a HUGE purge. This is just a part of the purge.

    We're in elite company

    You may have a valid criticism of the non-conference schedule, but the conference schedule is not something the coach or AD have any control over; it's set by the Big 10 front office. And did you happen to notice that last year we played both Michigan and Ohio St.? And did you also notice that...

    Do we like the Ohio State WR visiting today?

    Just to point out... OSU had a run/pass mix of 465/408 last year. That's right more run than pass.

    Kris gone...declaring for NBA

    And let's not forget that Keegan shot 39.8% his last season at Iowa and is now shooting at 41.4% as an NBA rookie against better, quicker defenders with the line 3-4 feet farther out. It isn't unreasonable to believe that Kris could make the same percentage increase. And there are a number of...

    Kris gone...declaring for NBA

    A lot of posters here thought Keegan should come back for another year... and he's only set the NBA rookie record for made 3-pt field goals while shooting a respectable 41.4% as well has helping the Kings to the playoffs for the first time since the 2005-2006 season. I'd say he's done OK.

    Nothing to hang their heads about, one of those days were unfortunately things were going against you

    Didn't know the extent of her injuries. Thanks for the update.
