    The Case for Fran to be B1G Coach of the Year

    I’d say Greg Gard made a pretty strong case tonight. Did not see Wisconsin going into Michigan and winning

    All of the 10-6 teams have warts because 10-6 is an “ok” record but certainly not great. In order to separate, someone is going to have to hold serve at home and steal one on the road. MSU usually figures it out this time of the year but this is certainly not a vintage spartan team. Anyone...

    That’s a pretty boneheaded statement given that Wisconsin has pretty much been a bunch of bedheaded white guys for 20+ years and had some pretty phenomenal success. Iowa beat Wisconsin at Carver having to come back from 14 points. I certainly wouldn’t look past them whatsoever. It’s gonna...

    The Case for Fran to be B1G Coach of the Year

    Lots of basketball to be played yet. Will be interesting to see how last 4-5 games play out and that will likely determine COY. Typically it goes to coach whose team finished better relative to expectations. I’d have to go back to see where PSU, Illinois, Wisconsin and Rutgers were expected...

    The Case for Fran to be B1G Coach of the Year

    I would think Greg Gard would deserve just as much consideration as any of the aforementioned coaches. 1. His lead assistant tragically lost his wife and daughter in the off-season and hasn’t coached all year. Every other point is secondary 2. Lost leading scorer and most talented player (Kobe...

    Is Iowa scrambling in the 2020 class?

    Wisconsin has the #1 rated recruiting class in the country in 2021.

    11/26/18 - KENPOM/SAGARIN BIG TEN COMPOSITE RANKINGS

    Possibly but Wisconsin last year was decimated by injuries. It was basically just Happ and 1-player isn’t going to beat any solid teams. Should be a good game Friday. But this team is more like typical “Wisconsin” teams.

    Hawks are in the playoff

    You do realize Wisky is likely without their best WR, 3/4’s of their secondary, their starting QB, 2-defensive lineman, and 8-starters overall? Wisconsin isn’t very good. But Wisconsin isn’t the same team personnel-wise that received all the pre-season pub. It goes beyond normal course of the...

    Our 2 early conf. games...

    Probably accurate. They had a terrible season last year but they also had a rash of season ending injuries. Those players come back. Davison and Happ are a solid nucleus

    My goodness, enough of this "we gifted them a win" nonsense

    Iowa didn’t gift wrap Wisconsin a 4th and 1 stop on a QB sneak at the 6-yard line or holding the hawks to 3-points on a 1st and goal from the 5-yard line. I get the hand wringing over the mistakes but it’s part of the game. There were still plenty of other chances to end the game and it...

    My goodness, enough of this "we gifted them a win" nonsense

    Most teams in college football outside of Alabama are gonna drop some games. BYU was a non-con game. Wisconsin got it done on the road in a meaningful conference game. Iowa can bemoan their own mistakes and there is validity to that but Wisconsin got it done when it mattered and left with a...

    My goodness, enough of this "we gifted them a win" nonsense

    Bottom line is with 5:00 left, Wisconsin was at their own 12-yard line in an incredibly hostile environment. They proceeded to drive the length of the field and scored. They took the game. Iowa could’ve shut it down on that drive and didn’t. That is champion DNA. Wisconsin was also missing...

    Sports bras on my Hawks?

    I believe it also monitors heart rate. Lots of programs use them. In light of what happened at Maryland I imagine more safety devices will be used to monitor heart rate/safety etc This isn’t 1970’s anymore and that’s a good thing

    Whoops Wisconsin wr

    Unknown, maybe switch to Decaf? You aren’t helping yourself here. The University has done everything they’ve needed to do based on the evidence (at this point). The only facts are that Cephus had sex. Period. The prosecution says it wasn’t consensual and the defense says it was. The other...

    Whoops Wisconsin wr

    You’re convicting both players already. There is a presumption of innocence. Cephus’s lawyers today asked for charges to be dropped due to video and texts that would prove his innocence (according to them) just because the defense claims that doesn’t make it true either. People on one side or...

    Whoops Wisconsin wr

    I believe Cephus missed the Iowa game last year in Madison. I don’t have anything to say about the incident, let the legal system work. No one knows anything at this point.

    Happ is leaving? For the G-league? The dude can’t shoot from a foot away. It’s like he has the yips

    Rank next year's Big 10 teams

    Wisconsin lost 2 of their top players and most dynamic creators last year to injury. Davison was basically playing injured all year. They return everyone. I would expect a rapid turnaround from them

    Jon Crispins new power ratings

    Given Iowa's losses in noncon, who would you rank Iowa ahead of? Almost every BIG team has beaten someone with a pulse and not lost to multiple times to sub 250 RPI teams. Rutgers has notched some good wins. Indiana just lost to Ft Wayne but they beat ND. Wisconsin has numerous losses but not...

    New AP Top 25

    The schedule is so very bad this year in non-con. There shouldn't be any more than 1-2 losses. At most.
