Iowa is a basketball school.

It's obvious to me: b-ball is soooo back, and football has become irrelevant and loserish.

*Like*

I'm not giving up on the FB team, but boy was this a big win today!!!!

Does Alford know this?

Until basketball can become an all day event and celebration, football will always be king in IC.

sorry there is only one sport Iowa dominates in and that is what kind of school we are

Wrestling has no national appeal. We're not a woman's field hockey school either.

I think Iowa has the ability to field great football and basketball teams at the same time. If they were stocks though, you'd definitely want to buy the basketball stock right now.

Yeah Iowa will never be a wrestling school. Ever.

I agree... Tell me how many times do you see College Wrestling on ESPN. Very few times.
Fran is turning this team around and hopefully we can make a case in the Big Ten Tittle race and possibly go far in the tournment.
Our football program has lost it's touch. I hope we can start rebuilding but Ferentz will have to get top prospects instead of these white slow kids.
