If you’re not going to donate to the Iowa Swarm

Then keep your fvcking mouth shut about Iowa athletics. Don’t say “we” need this player or “we” need to do this. Then don’t tell me I have a family to take care of that’s I won’t donate. Well then take care of your worthless family instead of worrying about Iowa athletics. Cheap tavern hawk bastards won’t even update their Iowa apparel. They’ve been wearing the same unlicensed crap for the past thirty years.
Ok Karen

Ohio State blew $20M on a Roster that Finished 4th in the B1G

Well, if they were a top 2 team, they'd (1) have beaten Michigan at home as a heavy favorite and (2) be playing in the B1G Championship game. So, at best, they're 3rd best. And in the standings, they are 4th best with 2 conference losses.
Between the three, who do you think Oregon would rather plan on a neutral field? And I would think you're bright enough to understand that in rivalry games sometimes the better team doesn't win the game.

Jada Gyamfi talent?

How in the hell do Black people then enslave their brethren?

I guess you must have missed this last election. ??

Because as we have often shown in our history, people are selfish and stupid, and will default to beating down those less fortunate.

*Believe it or not, in the wake of the Clark internet era Iowa has a perception problem. You either dam the current or you let it flow. I don't see many willing to fill a sand bag.

NET Rankings

"A few"? Of course. Everyone understands it.

You play an exhibition and "a few" tune up games, and then prepare your team to compete in the conference and the NCAA.

Sometimes you can't schedule every type of game you'd like to play. That's just reality.

But the schedule this year -- and frankly, many past years -- does not seem designed to prepare this team. It seems designed to get easy Ws.

This isn't 1995. In the age of analytics, a record like this fools exactly no one. It also fails to prepare teams, or excite the people who buy tickets, and merch, and tune into the game.

We can do better.

Again, the analytics and SOS will be quite solid because of the Big schedule. We play 8 road games against quad 1 teams. That’s insanely impressive. Borrowed this from someone else:

Iowa's remaining schedule as of 12/2 NET ranks:
Q1: 12 (4 home/8 away)
Q2: 7 (5 home/1 away/1 neutral)
Q3: 3 (2 home/1 away)
Q4: 2 (home)

I find it odd how many injuries UCONN has..

I've honestly never been convinced that CC22 is "a better athlete" then many of her contemporaries. I think her edge comes from her extremely sharp Basketball IQ. She scores or creates her own shot even against players that are probably "more athletic" because she knows how to get them leaning, off balance, wrong foot forward etc.. She has a quick first step, but more so she knows how to create angles, and do get her shoulder past the defender, and thats all she needs to get to the rim. Her use of footwork and her handles, allow her to set players up for her step back/side step threes. She creates space unlike anyone we've seen. Her length also helps her get those shots off. As I said I think thats the main reason she can score on almost anyone, WHEN she has the ball in her hands. Its on defense that you can see that she's at somewhat of a disadvantage against quicker players.
Caitlin played one year of high school soccer as a 9th grader at Dowling. She was voted 1st team all-state. After watching her play golf, I'm convinced she could have gone to the top in that sport too. I think she may be the best athlete I've every seen - man or women. Having muscles, speed, and quickness do not equal athleticism IMO.

Injury Updates on Koch (was hospitalized?) & Payton + Traore has a “bad sprain” & should be back hopefully in the next week (Dec 3) or two (Dec 10)

First off those NBA draft projections are hardly set in stone, and that was after last year. The rest of that book has not yet been written...
Wasn't really my point - the poster said neither of the Sandfort's impressed him. I said at least Payton has done enough to warrant a little respect. Shooting the ball with a bad wrist isn't exactly the easiest thing in the world to do and many in his position would have shut it down so they didn't look bad. That alone deserves some respect.

Between buying tickets and $3200 each year to the I Club I'm pretty sure I can say what I want. Haven't donated directly to Swarm but have bought some products to support. I may donate this year but if I do it won't be much. I think its bullshit.
