Of course, you can't recruit good bball players to Iowa. Sincerely, ISU

the beat goes on......

This coming spring we are going to start a garden. We have a pretty good sized area if we wanted to use it all. Probably 30 feet long. Could be as deep as 10 feet, but to start we will probably keep it to a single or double planting row, so maybe 6 feet or so. This particular area had the typical awesome Iowa soil unintentionally stripped out as casualty of war from a previous project in the back yard, and it struggles with having plush thick grass grow. We will need to add fertilizer and such. It also gets a ton of direct sunlight. I know we will do tomatoes. I would like to grow peppers but we have tried to grow them in the past with little success. I like the idea of zucchini. What do you guys plant? Do you use planters or beds, or just plant directly in the ground?

Just confirmed with the Hank Brown that he will be visiting Iowa on Thursday, as I posted in a separate thread.

Top-ranked 190er (#11 overall) Harvey Ludington was committed to Arizona State, but opened up his recruitment a few weeks ago.

Today he committed to Iowa.

He's a Jersey kid.

One of his goals as a kid was to wrestle at Iowa -- pretty cool.

We have #343 New Orleans coming in. 6200 crazy ice cream eaters will be there to see Iowa win by 30+. Then, another treat for real basketball fans -- Eastern powerhouse, #360 New Hampshire, on tap.

Two more big W's for the Body of Work, baby!!!!

Is he a receiver at Auburn who the hawks would like to get? A high school recruit? Is he linked to Hank Brown in some way?

Cops: "Nothing to see here"

Former 4 star Devin Brown has announced he is leaving Ohio State. I expect them to lose former 5 star Air Noland as well. Both guys have rockets and are mobile. Plus say what you want about Ryan Day, but guys like Joe Burrow, Quinn Ewers and Kyle McCord have worked out pretty well after leaving his system.

Will Ferentz or more importantly the donors put up money to get a high end talent at QB? No and yes. The donors would likely do it if Ferentz green lit it. I doubt Ferentz wants a guy that he may deem "high profile" risk takers.

Prof Weissman started his research on mRNA type vaccines in 2005 or 15 years before Covid 19 hit. Kariko soon joined him with her expertise. And even to know how to do this procedure needed the amazing Human Genome Project and genetic sequencing to be perfected.

All these other people at Pfizer and Moderna got the glory and the money but I just wanted to show who really did it.

Let’s talk about it. Is it part of the southeast or the Midwest?

We have seen at least 7 so far. (Hey it gets the wife in the mood....to make me hot chocolate

All in only 3 years. I simply cannot explain it.

I wish they would change the name. This has nothing to do with Name, Image, Likeness.

Shoulda cut ties with Mike and gone after Dusty May.
Thats now four straight for Fred over Mike.
Ulis gets scraps of minutes for Nebraska.

Video coming shortly, but wanted to share with you guys that Fran confirmed this morning that Drew Thelwell will continue to start, Ladji come off the bench.

Pro Football Hall of Fame wide receiver Randy Moss announced he is being treated for cancer, the 47-year-old revealed on Friday.

Moss, while on Instagram Live, said he was released from the hospital on Friday after spending six days undergoing treatment for cancer found in the bile duct between his pancreas and liver.



An emotional Moss called himself a “cancer survivor” and thanked “prayer warriors” for their support.

Earlier this month, Moss took some time away from his punditry work on ESPN to “focus on a personal health challenge.”

Moss shared that on Thanksgiving he had a procedure to put a stent in his liver after experiencing urine discoloration. He also shared that he underwent a six-hour procedure to remove the cancer about a week ago adding that he will undergo chemotherapy and radiation treatment.

The six-time Pro Bowler made it a mission of his to return to his ESPN gig.

“As soon as I get healthy to get back out with guys, I will be on set. … Hopefully I can be with you guys soon,” Moss said.

“My goal is to get back on television with my team.”

The NFL legend played 14 seasons in the league, most notably with the Minnesota Vikings and the New England Patriots



He is considered one of the greatest wide receivers in the sport’s history, being named a first-team All-Pro four times and leading the NFL in receiving touchdowns on five occasions. Over his stellar career, Moss had 15,292 receiving yards and 156 touchdowns.

While wearing Team Moss sweatshirt that read “Let’s Moss Cancer” across the front, Moss said he is selling apparel with most proceeds going to cancer research.

Borlant's family was originally from Ukraine and settled in France, only to be marginalized and discriminated against there. After the start of WW2 Henri, his father, one brother, and one sister were arrested and sent to Auschwitz. His mother and seven siblings remained in France and survived the war while in serving in the French Resistance. After the war he studied to be a MD and started a career, and in later years spoke tirelessly about his time in Auschwitz, and what ever present hunger and terror.

Per Eickholt, Logan Jones will return for one more year.

Hey Guys, I just want to say how much of an amazing job you do and content you guys provide. The articles, coverage, inside scoop is very appreciated!

I have been a member since the Jon Miller days. So I have seen some changes here. I didn’t know what to expect when Tom and Blair left. I said I’ll give it a chance. Thank you for exceeding my expectations!!!

With the year coming to an end I hope you can take a moment and look back at the great things you’ve done with the site. Keep up the great work!!!

@Eliot do you ever sleep😀🤣

I wonder how that would have changed things.
The get it and go style probably wouldn't work.
And how would it have affected recruiting?
Would post players have looked elsewhere as might those that like to run?
She is skilled but I don't think for an Iowa-styled offense.

A common opinion in the transfer portal threads is that Iowa should throw a large sum of money at a top QB transfer.

This seems like an easy answer. However much like City Boyz changed KF's opinion on recruiting after his top 10 recruiting class in 2003(?), I think Cade and Kaleb Brown will really shape which transfers the Hawkeyes bring in via the portal.

Big money comes with big ego and bringing in players like that to a team without top NIL resources will likely affect team unity. I don't think we will see any high profile guys transfer to Iowa, and I honestly think it's a smart move by the coaching staff.

What if you need to tell someone that they are bad at their job in a harsh, direct tone?
I’m stuck inside watching Parks & Rec, and their ads are running constantly.
