People have commented recently that for an Iowa alum and longtime Hawkeye fan that I sure seem to be lukewarm on Fran. I've mentioned his temper, his table kicking, his chair slamming, his referee chasing, his technicals, but fact of the matter is I would tolerate all of that more if Fran won...

Why are so many punt returners calling fair catches when inside their ten yard line? I've seen more of it this year than ever before. Used to be the rule of thumb when the other team punted near midfield was to stand on the ten yard line, then if it went over your head to let it go into the...

UMBC on tap tonight. Let's goooooooo!

Wasn't a popular decision amongst the fans when Iowa punted on fourth and inches from midfield, but couldn't argue with the results when Taylor pinned the Gophs at the one yard line. Comment from Gary and Ed on the air: "It shows that Kirk would rather have Minnesota with the ball on their...

Ihmar Smith-Marsette is having a monster preseason with Kansas City. Today another 100 yard plus game with another TD. After bouncing around with the Vikings and Bears, he wound up on KC's practice squad last year and ended up winning a ring. Now he looks to make the active roster and he...

Anyone know why incoming freshman Ladji Dimbele isn't on the France and Spain trip with the rest of the team?

But he serves his two week suspension now, one of the deadest times for coaches. He misses two weeks in July, not when practice starts or when the games start. Investigation for potential hazing is ongoing.

The Bills have signed free agent Leonard Floyd to go along with Von Miller on the other side, meaning the sand is just about run out of the hourglass for AJ Epenesa. Eppy has been an underachiever and the Bills have found out why he slipped to the second round. He had a decent rookie year but...

Was watching a YouTube replay of the 1986 game vs Iowa State, a game I attended in person during my student years. You know who was on the field at halftime? David Lee Roth. Yes, that Dave. He did some stuff with the band, did some gymnastics, may have twirled the baton a little bit. You...

So she won't go to the White House, Jill can't walk her comment back, but she would be "willing to meet Barack and Michelle if invited". Barf. I don't want to hear one more word about how she's just a competitor, let alone the her and Clark are equally guilty. It does not take welders goggles...

The Brewers, Pirates and Rays are flying out of the gate. The Red Sox and Phillies? Not so much. Early returns show that the pitch clock, shift rules, amd bigger bases are making an impact. And it favors athletic teams who can run over beer league teams who wait for the occasional long ball...

Buckle up buttercups. With one week to go and a couple games still to be decided today, there is a potential for TEN teams to finish 11-9 in the league. And Iowa still owns tiebreakers on many of them. Which is why yesterday was so critical to win and would have been so devastating to lose...

This is my state. I will get this Bucky hunt started :)

What's everybody's take on the decision to sit Tony Perkins for much of the first half? I generally don't like it under any circumstances and I definitely didn’t like it under these. Perk was coming off a 32 point game and could have kept it close in the first half with one of his patented...

Program has been halted immediately and indefinitely while an investigation is made into alleged hazing. And there is a state of Iowa connection (not U of I) to this. Their head coach is Dubuque native Greg Heiar, who was already having a tumultuous first year before this allegation came down...

Most of you know that LeBron James became the NBA's all time leading points scorer last night, surpassing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. But did you know the circumstances surrounding the night Kareem set the record? It was vs Utah in 1984. The man who scored the first basket after the record? None...

Having had 24 hours to digest all that went down yesterday, I hope people realize just how massive a win that was on all levels. And how gut wrenching it would have been to lose. Emotion: There was plenty of it. You could feel it listening on the radio which I was forced to do. The emotion...

Players getting ready to come out for second half of Indiana/Ohio State game and a piece of metal falls to the court from the scoreboard, not far from where an Ohio Dtate player was standing. So naturally game is in delay, who knows for how long. Geez, where have we seen this before?

It's South Dakota State, with a convincing win over rival and fellow power North Dakota State. Jackrabbits win 45-21. Folks we weren't playing chopped liver that day. And to think out of our three conference crossover games, two of them made the FBS playoff. Thar was one tough schedule we...

The NFL has been heavily mentioning the famous "Immaculate Reception" as we approach the 50th anniversary of that iconic play. There's a document coming up on NFL network. The Steelers and Raiders play this weekend, ceremonies galore. And now word that Franco Harris has passed literally the...
