    Prepare for the Great White Hype

    If we all thought that we heard too much of Devyn Marble throughout the course of this past year, just wait until what October will bring. The hype for Aaron White's last stand coming out the athletic department and Iowa beat writers promises to be almost Tim Dwightian.

    Unofficial World Cup/US Nats Victory Thread

    Almost here, folks. I personally can't wait. This one could be special if we beat Ghana. Cue the weird soccer trolling in 5, 4, 3....

    Dispelling the Fleming 3 pt% Myth

    While Fleming did shoot in the high 20s% from 3 in AAU ball last year, an Ensworth coach reported to me that he shot "right around 40%" for his junior year of high school. He also listed his high school stats as: 19.3 ppg, 4.7 rpg, 2.1 assists per game. He commented that Andrew is extremely...

    We're About to Soar

    This team is too good. We needed a slump - every team has one. We needed this period to understand the stakes and the effort needed to step up as the curtain starts to fall. We're talented at every position, we're deep, we're well-coached and we have high character guys. This team is going...

    I Just Wanna Say

    That at this point in his final season, Tom Davis' Hawkeye team was ranked #18 in the country. ...and he already knew that we wouldn't renew his contract. Not that I'm bitter.

    It's Time, Unfortunately...

    Do you find yourself scratching your head as to why Kansas is being projected as a 2 seed? Having a tough time figuring out why Iowa State is projected higher than us on the bracket? Wondering why the hell everyone is saying Minnesota is in the dance? It's RPI time, boys. NCAA College...

    Where Will Devyn Finish?

    At this point in his career, Devyn Marble has a very strong chance to finish as a top-5 all-time scoring Hawkeye. The question is - where will he land? Dev currently sits at 1,529 points, putting him 146 points behind #5 Ronnie Lester and 250 points behind #2 Acie Earl. As of right now...

    Why Not More Love For Marble?

    I've never understood it. I started a thread on here last year where I compared his career trajectory to Ricki Stanzi, and I stand by that comparison...until this year. Dev has surpassed himself as a Junior, Ameristanzi didn't. To my eyes, he's the greatest Hawkeye basketball player since...

    If UNI beats Wichita State...

    Between Iowa destroying the #10 team in the country and Ejim breaking the Big 12 scoring record....all three Iowa teams would be national sports stories. Great year for the state of Iowa cagers.

    "Scrappy"? "Gritty"? Psssh....

    We've had some decent teams in my day...but since 87, it was always because we played out of our minds with emotion and heart; outplaying conference foes out of sheer will only to be outclassed in rounds one or two of the NCAA. This team has that rare gift - pure, composed talent - that has...

    Athleticism Does Not Equal 'Jumping High'

    I've grown tired of people calling this team unathletic. Agility, speed, strength, stamina, quickness and coordination are all factors in athleticism. We've got a team of excellent athletes. /rant.

    ...But seriously, fire Kirk Ferentz

    I hope the bitter, misanthropic, shortsighted and blind among us will scurry away to dark holes for at least a couple of years. Never forget, it pays to be lucky. Go Hawks.

    Xavier Game: Now it's war

    Some guy over on the Xavier board is trying to claim that Maid-Rite started in Ohio. They might as well have fire bombed Mt. Pleasant for all the rage I feel.

    Xavier Breakdown by a Guy Who Knows Nothing About Xavier

    1. They are young. Their top-5 scorers feature 2 sophomores, 2 Juniors and one senior. 2. They are deep. They have 10 players who average at least 13 minutes. 3. They feature strong, consistent guard play. Semaj Christon, a sophomore, was a top 40 recruit in 2012 and the #3 point guard...

    Adios, Football Board

    This board has officially jumped the shark. I know most on here won't miss me, but I'm retreating to the basketball world where things actually make sense. Go Hawks. Go Iowa Football. Go Kirk Ferentz. Peace out.

    Just To Be Clear

    The cynical, sarcastic cabal which persists in dominating this board will continue to call for KF's head during bowl prep this year right? And when we're ranked next year, right? Just want everyone firmly on the record. What am I thinking? They'll just switch to their "we're winning" handles.

    Still Pumped

    I had us down for 8-5 with a loss to Northern Illinois. We looked far better in that game than I hoped. Bright days ahead. We're gonna win some games.
