I may be wrong here, but can't you redshirt a player to start off the season and then play them if everyone else were to get hurt? You would lose the extra year of eligibility, but you could still do it if you needed/wanted to. So if you don't think a freshmen is going to play or see the field...

In my opinion, Basabe is our best post player defensively and offensively. He leads the team in blocks, 3rd in rebounds and is shooting over 50%. And from what I have seen he is hustling/working hard whenever he is out on the court this year. The problem is his lack of size when going up...

Who is this one player that people keep referring to? I have my suspicions, but after reading some of the posts in other threads I am not sure who people are talking about... Did something happen in the Nebby game? I wasn't able to watch and the radio stream I was using stopped working for me.

I would like more scorers too, but I disagree with almost everything else in your post. How can you say that Fran whiffed on Clemmons and Ingram? Or even Ogelsby? Ogelsby: I will admit that I haven't been impressed with him, but I think he lacks confidence. Have you played sports? (That is...

Well this is ironic.

Yes. Fran has: -Made this team watchable -Recruited some really good players -Made us competitive. We can go toe-to-toe with anyone when we are playing at our best (which won't happen on a consistent basis when a team is this young) -Gotten Iowa fans excited for the future (or at least they...

Is it possible that Fran is preparing this team for next year? I don't think we are a good enough team this year to do much in the tourney even if we made it. Why not let the players learn to play through tough situations? Why not do everything you can do improve the team and prepare them for...

I'm curious to know how many teams can or have shot 0% from 3 and still won (and by a large margin) in the past few years. Would a team like Illinois or Wisconsin be able to win if they shot 0% from 3?

I also liked what I saw from Clemons. He tries to do some things that probably worked in high school, but he is finding out that they won't work here and I think he will become a very good player as he gets more experience. However, I have not been overly impressed with White this year so...

I didn't see this posted, but apparently the Rice MOB took a shot at USC last night during the halftime show: The Rice Marching Band Took Some Halftime Shots At "U$C" I thought the bit they did mocking the $EC was even better: Rice MOB at Texas September 3, 2011 - Full show with text - YouTube

I agree. I think that might be one of the more frustrating parts about it for me... A lot of the regulars have some good information and are very capable of posting informative and quality posts. I have been a member of this board for almost 2 years (I had just been a lurker before). The...

I got very frustrated last season when I watched him. He was constantly getting hit by defenders (usually multiple defenders) before he even got to the line of scrimmage. I mean... I'll admit that there were times where he probably should have cut back and hit an opening when gap the play was...

Does anyone here follow the Jets much? I try to watch them when I can, because of Greene, but I haven't really got the chance the past few years... and well... I'm not a huge pro football fan. The only thing I get to see on Greene is stats and such... I have had him on my fantasy football team...

Here is what I don't understand. Let's say a guy signs a contract that averages out to $500,000/yr for 4 years. He will make somewhere close to 2 million dollars. A lot of these guys say they should be making more money and I don't understand the reasoning behind it. Even if they are cut after...

Interesting question/topic, Jon. I actually did a research paper that touched base on this issue a little. However, the paper was looking at the bigger picture and the sports world/culture/society as a whole so I never really thought about this question in particular. I remember a thread a...

I get what you are saying, but I think there is a difference between being intimidating/"imposing your will" and what these players did. In the 2009 NFC title game 8 hits were sent in for review by the league. 4 of those hits resulted in fines--3 of them were hits on Brett Favre. It is one...

The thing is... If you look at the number of players Iowa sends to the NFL you might think "well we should be winning like [insert consistently dominant football team here] with talent like that!" However, IMO, all that really seems to be saying is: Iowa has some of the best players in the...

Are you kidding me? The guy actively participated in a bounty program. He intentionally tried injuring other players and encouraged his teammates to do the same. They could have ended another player's career.... and you are complaining that they had to find out about a suspension on...

The # of players we send to the pros/# of players that get drafted out of Iowa is not going to affect the # of wins we get as much as some people seem to think it should. Even though LSU only had 5 players drafted and Iowa had 6... LSU is clearly the more talented team. They just have more...

I feel like Cousins fell a bit further in the draft than most would have thought and was a great pick up for most teams at that point of the draft. People will criticize because the Redskins already took RG3, but who says that the Redskins ever planned on drafting Cousins as a starter for their...
