    Spencer Lee vs Gilman

    It was awesome to see these two Iowa legends finally decide it on the mat. Seeded #2 and #4 respectively, Gilman and Lee sailed into the best-of-3 finals, trying to get a chance at an Olympic spot on the US team if they finish in the top 3 at an Olympic qualifier in 3 weeks in Turkey. As...

    Why would #7 seed in NCAA Women's tourney face the #1 seed?

    I thought typically the brackets would be structured, if all games went chalk, #1 v #8, #2 v #7, #3 v #6, #4 v #5. Yet yesterday the latest Top 16 teams had Iowa as the #7 seed at the same regional as #1 S. Carolina. Not that I'm complaining -- I think Iowa would stand a better chance of...

    How to watch Iowa v Okie State this weekend?

    I haven't seen anything about this coverage -- surely SOMEONE has to be broadcasting it.

    "There are certain things that just aren't negotiable."

    That's what Kirk Ferentz replied today when asked how much freedom Tim Lester would have as Iowa's new OCoordinator. So what things exactly do you think KF believes "aren't negotiable"? I think 'having the offense score quickly' is strongly discouraged. What do you think?

    KF's mind after watching the OSU-Wisconsin game:

    "Until the final few minutes of that game, we had almost the same # of points vs Wisconsin as the Buckeyes did over in Madison. (15 vs 17). So, that proves what we're doing on offense is really working well."

    Brian's Quote: "If this is my last season as Iowa's OC, I'm at peace with that."

    I will simply add this: 70,000 fans who show up on game days are at peace with that idea also.

    What do you think of new rules proposed for college wrestling?

    3 pts for a takedown. No riding time point without turn or back pts. 2-pt and 4-pt near falls eliminated and replaced with a 3 pt near fall after 3 second count instead. Also changes regarding riding on top. Personally, I like nearly all of the proposed changes because they incentivize...

    Has Iowa ever hosted as much talent as Nebraska recruiting this weekend?

    Interesting to see the Huskers are hosting 4 ***** and 14 (!) **** players, plus the obligatory gobs of *** players on campus this weekend. Got me wondering if Iowa has ever had that much talent during one recruiting visit on campus at the same time.

    Is flowrestling carrying early rounds? Some other streaming service?

    Can somebody point me to the BTen wrestling tourney brackets??

    I went to the BTen website, and when I clicked on the link for the Brackets (regular or PDF), it automatically sent me to the flowrestling website. No way I'm paying $29 to see the damn brackets. Surely this can't be the only location....can it?? Any help appreciated.

    What do y'all think about Brian's pay cut and ultimatum announced publicly today?

    Now: his salary is cut from $900,000 to $850,000. The upcoming season: If Hawks don't average 25 pts/game next year, his contract ends (i.e. fired from that position) on June 30, 2024. It's not a hard target to reach, as it includes defensive and special teams scores, however, the past two...

    Judging from Chad Leistikow's column today, he must have got a pair for Christmas.

    Leistikow: What would be the downside of a new offensive coordinator?

    Should Iowa prepare to bring in Nebraska's WR cast-offs?

    Nebraska just landed another 4-star WR for their '23 recruiting class. Counting their '23 class of recruits, they now have 17 scholarship WRs on their roster if they all follow through on their commitment. Considering that the Huskers now stand at around 100 scholarships, and that they'll have...

    Did you see that the Stanford transfer commited to Nebraska, then backed out?

    OT Walter Rouse's finalists were Iowa, Nebraska & Oklahoma. After taking visits, last week with great fanfare he commited to the Huskers......for 3 days. Then he flipped to Oklahoma, citing his gut and God. Heck, maybe the Hawks still have a chance!

    Huskers ready to hire new OC

    South Carolina’s Marcus Satterfield, who put up 94 pts vs Clemson & Tennessee in the last few weeks. That's how it's done, boys and girls.

    Weather forecast for Purdue game.

    Am I seeing correctly that the forecast for Saturday's game at W.Lafayette at kickoff is 50 degrees, chance of light rain, and 45 MPH winds? I don't know that I've ever been to a game with 45 mph winds...not a great climate recipe for the Boilermakers.

    Was Ragaini hurt tonight?

    I didn't see him in the game a lot, even tho half his home-town was in attendance. Did spot him a couple times in the 2nd half: looked like he tripped on an 'out' route on a good ball thrown by Petras, and he just looked dejected on the sideline. Also, any word on Jacobs? He came in the game...

    Iowa-Michigan 2016 crazy replay.

    Just watched the 2016 replay of the Iowa (5-4) vs #3 Michigan (9-0) game. Wow. Beathard has a bad game. Recinos misses a 30 yd FG. P Caluza mishandles a high snap, stumbles forward, does a front-flip, lands on the ground and a Michigan players falls on top of him and is ejected for targeting...

    Is there a way to stream individual mats at the NCAAs on Thursday?

    Other than on ESPN? Will ESPN+ have individual mats? I haven't seen any info on-line.
