Caught up with Langden Kitchen this afternoon to discuss his recruitment.

After picking up the offer from Iowa State on Saturday, things have blown up for him. Hawkeyes appear to be in a solid spot, though. A solid prospect with some serious upside under Kelvin Bell.

Go Drake!

Where is he? Is he in Kirk's dog house? There's no way he fell off this much. He's a game changer.

Hey Hawks!!!

I am starting a new thread for the 2025 season. It looks like the first Black and Gold game was last Thursday and a close 4-3 Black Team win over the Gold Team.

There appeared to be some recruits at the football game yesterday. It may have been mostly (or all) of the 2025 verbals.

It appears Coach Prater has left Campbell and is not the head coach at Memphis. It looks like Tristan and Kat stayed at Campbell.

Still no official fall ball schedule on the website yet. Will post it when its on the website with any info on the spring schedule as tournaments start releasing information about their tournaments.

Go Hawks!!

After a year at Western Michigan, Anterio Thompson is back in the portal.

Isnt this the plan now due to some court cases? Are we talking single or double digits of thousands of dollars?

Are all the football players getting the same amount?

Not bad. Definitely not as bad as the reviews made it sound. I liked it.

Good players are landing everywhere except Iowa. We need beef on the OL and DL; receivers, TE, CB and a good RB. If we have all this NIL, we should be standing on more than just a back qb at this point.

Dammit!

Other entries this year include Dirty Dancing, Spy Kids, and Beverly Hills Cop. Plus, some artsy fartsy stuff.

How much should you spend on your teenage kids for Christmas?

It was a lot more fun Christmas shopping for them when they were little & still wanted toys, now everything they want is $100 or more.

We used to cap each kid at $500 that's seems impossible at this age.


Thoughts

Sources have said UCF has contacted Scott Frost and gauged interest from the Lincoln Riley camp as possible replacements for Gus Malzahn.

Imagine Frost getting UCF into the playoffs before Rhule gets Nebraska there. The Big 12 is a cluster right now. ASU and ISU are playing for a spot this Saturday. Meanwhile the B1G has Oregon, Ohio State, Penn State, Indiana and Michigan operating at a higher level right now. Heck Illinois and Iowa are good for at least 8 wins. Much tougher sledding.

Edit: It's a done deal! The "2017 National Championship" coach is back baby!!!" They can have that parade and Frost can say "I'm going to Disney World".

Seems his confirmation is all but assured at this point.

Getting a clunk when I accelerate - any of you know how I can tell the difference?

Thanks in advance

Also, the chase for more devastating "stuff". Workload may be down, but max effort is creating the rise in injuries per the study.

Went in there to get a printer. Kind of a ghost town in there. I don't know how they stay in business. Used to be well stocked. Kind of an upscale better version of a radio shack minus all the resistors and wiring.

I had to work all day. Hoping to get out for a few hours tomorrow. Cold and snowy here. Will see what happens.

It is great to be an Iowa Wrestling fan.

Go Hawks!
