I have a sick feeling that when McNamara goes down early on if he is able to start the year that Ferentz is going to put Hill in the starting lineup. I have not seen any promising news in the Portal and I'm not sure Ferentz Is even making an effort to find a QB. Don't have any information that...

FWIW and that's probably not much he has us at #17 ahead of Washington for the cellar. I find that a bit difficult to believe but I guess it shows at least one "expert" is not very impressed with our chances as of today. Which brings up the question of the portal. I have not seen Iowa...

Fran was never a great recruiter before the NIL although he managed to get some good legacy recruits and his age and record are going to make it difficult but the NIL throws a huge barrier for Fran or anyone who comes in after him. I read where Storr from Wisconsin was asking for a million...

Wins Jim Phalen National Coach of the year. Really? Did a decent job but Coach of the year??

FWIW I just read a story on internet which looked legit that said that the Ivy League and Big Ten were merging in 25-26. So when you stop laughing tell me why they put on an April Fools joke on April 3

Some of you probably don't remember The old days. In the Bud Wilkinson era of college football Oklahoma used to recruit all the good players and dominated college football. That continued after Bud was gone. I can remember when Fry came to Iowa and we went down to Oklahoma to play and he said he...

Very Good Win. Great effort Great coaching and Great defense with shorthanded team and limited offensive weapons

Did Porter take Swarm money? Some have suggested Iowa State has a sugar daddy for NIL who might that be

I know this is an Iowa Board and believe me I am not an Iowa State fan, but you just have to say they have a great team and probably coach of the year. Just the truth They now might get a 1 seed and have to be one of the favorites to win it all

I expect we will accept one. Frankly it is a silly tournament and like some silly bowl games should be discontinued. I guess I don't care much one way or the other.

Lets see he went to a sweet 16 won a Big Ten Championship and had a lousy year and is gone I guess the bar is just a bit higher at Michigan

Well we could be pretty good offensive team but the question is how good can you be when you don't know how to play defense? To be a great team you have to do it on both ends and McCaffrey teams have never been able to do that

I think most on the board would agree that the Iowa program has been stuck in a long stretch of for lack of a better term mediocrity. Had some decent teams and some very good players (mostly sons of former players) without a lot of success in the tournament. Enthusiasm or lack thereof seems to...

Just not an NCAA caliber team but not all bad. If they get a home game great time to take the kids as tickets will be plentiful and inexpensive

Sure hope he comes back although I think earlier in year he said this would be his last at Iowa or something to that effect. In any event he would be a huge piece in a team that could be pretty good next year. I'm sure he will be a hot commodity if he enters the portal. Indiana is desperate for...

Best time of the year in college basketball and Iowa has 3 teams in the hunt Iowa has played well the last couple weeks and put themselves in a position to get in the tournament which 2 weeks ago looked very unlikely. Big win at a struggling Michigan State and a banged up Northwestern made...

Did not see it but apparently he revealed his intentions in some interview. He is not going to be fired so he will be coming back for at least another year. For those fans who have expressed optimism I hope you are right. I do look forward to Iowa basketball in the depth of an Iowa winter...

I know I have not been a great McCaffrey supporter the past several years but it is not because I am not an Iowa fan. I have experienced the ups of JJ and Fred Brown, Lester and the final four and Marble and Armstrong. Also the downs of Dick Schultz and Lick. McCaffrey has proven to be a coach...

Fran is not going to get a chance to add to his 4 NCAA tournament wins in his 14th year. I guess they still have a shot at playing Western Michigan in the NIT in front of 2500 screaming fans. That may not even happen as the rest of he schedule is pretty tough. Bottom line is we just aren't a...

I guess Ohio State doesn"t have the patience of some I saw a short list of possible replacement and Devries was on the list. I was hoping he would be available when the Iowa job opened
