I picked Iowa to fall to the Sooners in my bracket, and I still think they get the home cooking refs today.

Go hawks!

Bad news for all those bragging and addicted to COVID shots. And don't shoot the messenger. By the way, Bill Gates is seen in a WEF video stating that the population needs to be reduced by several billion through vaccines. Seems as though their plan may be working.




The renowned Cleveland Clinic has dropped a bone-chilling warning that millions of people who received Covid mRNA “vaccines” are facing sudden death within the next “five years.” According to the Ohio-based academic medical center, large numbers of the Covid-vaccinated “may need a heart transplant” to avoid a sudden cardiac arrest. However, the pro-vaccination nonprofit has yet to issue a red alert to the public about the looming catastrophic death wave. Instead, Cleveland Clinic quietly dropped the bombshell in a recent update on its website. According to Cleveland Clinic, mass mortality is expected to surge due to a ticking time bomb of myocarditis among the Covid-vaccinated. Myocarditis is inflammation of the heart muscle or myocardium. This inflammation weakens your heart muscle, making it harder for your heart to pump. Myocarditis can cause strokes, blood clots, cardiac arrest, and ultimately sudden death. Doctors warn that myocarditis acts as a silent killer as it can often be symptomless, with many sufferers not being diagnosed until it’s too late. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), myocarditis is a known side effect of Covid mRNA injections. As cases of myocarditis have surged since the Covid “vaccines” were rolled out in early 2021, Cleveland Clinic has now updated its website with alarming new information on the disorder. According to the renowned medical center, 50 percent of people who contracted myocarditis will be dead “five years later.” “For some people, myocarditis can lead to dilated cardiomyopathy and they may need a heart transplant,” the webpage explains. “Almost 20% of sudden deaths in young people have a connection to myocarditis. “The survival rate for myocarditis is 80% one year after having it and 50% five years later.” The damning update comes as experts around the world continue to raise the alarm about the long-term health impact of the mass vaccination campaign. As Slay News recently reported, a world-renowned virologist, who served as Bill Gates’s lead vaccine advisor, has warned the public that a “wave” of “unprecedented deaths” is looming for those who received Covid mRNA injections. Former Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation scientist and vaccine expert Dr. Geert Vanden Bossche has blown the whistle to warn of a coming “wave of morbidity” and “mortality” among the Covid-vaccinated. Dr. Bossche has warned that population numbers worldwide will soon experience a “completely unprecedented” plunge. Bossche predicts that “up to 30-40%” of the general public will soon die “in highly vaccinated countries.” The top scientist raised the alarm during an interview with vaccine expert and investigator Steve Kirsch. “In some of the highly vaccinated populations … I would not be surprised that we will be dealing with serious decimation of the population, in some populations, maybe up to 30 or 40 percent,” Bossche warned.
As Slay News reported, Bossche warned the public during a separate interview that a “massive tsunami” of “chaos” and “death” is about to decimate the global Covid mRNA-vaccinated population. Bossche warned that a “huge, huge wave” of illness and deaths among those vaccinated for Covid is now “imminent.” The top scientist says this “massive tsunami” will collapse hospitals and cause financial, economic, and social “chaos.” Alarmingly, Bossche is not the only top expert predicting a major population plunge, however. Professor Dolores Cahill, a world-renowned immunology expert, issued an explosive warning to the public that everyone who has been vaccinated with Covid mRNA shots “will die within 3 to 5 years, even if they have had only one injection.” Prof. Cahill has over 25 years of expertise in high-throughput protein array, antibody array, proteomics technology development, and automation. Since the Covid mRNA shots were rolled out in early 2021, Cahill has been sounding the alarm about the devastating impact they will have on public health. Not only does Cahill think the shots are dangerous, but she warns that they will eventually kill everybody who has received one or more doses. During an interview, Cahill explains how mRNA in the injections harms all recipients and acts like a ticking time bomb in the Covid-vaccinated. After explaining how the shots impact human health, Cahill made this following chilling prediction: “Everybody who has an mRNA injection will die within 3 to 5 years, even if they have had only one injection.” Meanwhile, as some experts are warning of looming deaths, others are putting the public on notice over current surges in mortality. Dr. Peter McCullough, a world-renowned cardiologist and epidemiologist, has sounded the alarm after a bombshell peer-reviewed study found a staggering 1,236% surge in excess cardiac arrest deaths among people who received Covid mRNA vaccines. McCullough performed an exploratory data analysis evaluating the cardiac arrest deaths following the Covid vaccination campaign in King County, Washington. The team of researchers, led by McCullough, uncovered evidence of a shocking quadratic increase in excess cardiopulmonary arrest mortality corresponding to higher vaccination rates.

The study was peer-reviewed and published in the Journal of Emergency Medicine: Open Access.

To advance to the Sweet 16 for the fourth time in the last five seasons, Iowa will need to do something on Monday that Lisa Bluder never did and that no Iowa team has done since 1993: win a second round game on an opponent's court. Iowa did win a second round game away from home in 2021 -- but that was the COVID-impacted tournament, when all of the games were played on neutral sites in and around San Antonio.

You have to go back to 1993 and an Iowa win at Old Dominion to find a second round win for the Hawkeyes in a true road game. This year, Iowa will need to defeat 3-seed Oklahoma on its home floor to make it back to the Sweet 16 for a third consecutive season.

Oklahoma went 26-7 this season overall and 11-5 in SEC play and, like Iowa, the Sooners were one of the hottest teams in the country down the stretch. After falling to 4-5 in league play on February 2, Oklahoma ran off seven wins in a row to wrap up the regular season, then added two more wins in the SEC Tournament before losing to South Carolina in the semifinals. This is a Sooner team playing with a lot of confidence heading into Monday's game.

Who is currently on the roster for next year, excluding guys currently in the transfer portal?

Was looking at Drake's roster and noticed no one was over 6'8" but also no one under 6'3" ... curious if BM just couldnt get a true center or prefers this kind of roster? TBH I kinda like it, somewhat positionless basketball, everyone can guard everyone so can switch everything and not let the other team single out the weakest link (looking at you Harding)

Only the best and brightest! All merit based hires!

Yet you people persist with the praise of Goetz.

Top that off with overglorification of a new basketball coach that is one year removed from a 15 year stint at a DII school in Maryville (population 10,309).

I remember the days when we had expectations.

Monday?

Jaxx DeJean is the first in-state prospect that Iowa has offered in the Class of 2027 and the second overall for the Hawkeyes in his class, which just finished their freshman year of high school.

Since we know we have insiders here and this can get to the staff, I figured we could post ideas/suggestions for the program. Let's not turn this into a bitch fest, fire Tom thread, as we know he is not going anywhere. Just post your open ideas/suggestions to improve the program. I also know Tom has forgot more about wrestling than most of us have ever known.

Mine is to bring in a non-Iowa assistant. I know loyalty is great and all, and I'm sure that Tom asks for feedback from his coaches, but when all of the coaches probably have the same line of thinking, not a lot of new ideas are created.

Beth was decisive and made the right decision when she got rid of Brian Ferentz.

She was decisive and made the right decision today to end the Fran McCaffery era.

She had NIL up and running on Day 1 when she was the Athletic Director at Ball State. Unlike Gara Barta, she's working with the SWARM CEO to make Iowa competitive in the NIL era.

This was the June 2023 story from the Gazette, where Beth got Brad Stevens' endorsement:

Could there be life?

Entire budget should go to women's basketball. Much more fun to watch!

Do you dance when the opportunity presents itself?

Was at a wedding reception on Saturday and I did not find my way to the dance floor. I don't really anymore as I'm not as young as I used to be. My kids (especially daughters) are always out dancing around to whatever song comes on. I would probably do a slow song or two with the GF, but don't find myself on the dance floor as I may have when I was in my 20s and had a little more wild times at wedding receptions.

Iowa has its new head basketball coach.
