    #1 South Carolina at #9 LSU on ESPN

    Agreed, basketball IQ matches actual IQ. Even more comical that they burned their final timeout like 30 seconds prior because Sid was cramping and they wanted to keep her in the game.

    Bluder Botched the Transfer Portal

    I’m relatively new to the world of WBB as I didn’t ever watch prior to CC. Thus I’m not blaming Bluder whatsoever. I just look at LSU and all the talent they brought in and then look at Iowa’s roster and can’t help but wonder what more could have been done to help CC. If those on this board say...

    Bluder Botched the Transfer Portal

    Don’t disagree whatsoever and hindsight is 20/20. Based on the season sellout and the outrageous secondary ticket prices people are paying, we likely could have generated a very large sum of money towards a portal player - again I have no concept of how this would be organized, but having a...

    Bluder Botched the Transfer Portal

    There have been numerous threads discussing Iowa’s pursuit of a big to replace Czinano, particularly regarding Betts from Stanford. This is definitely not a new conversation topic. CC is a generational talent, not throwing the bank of NIL money available to try and win a Natty with her here is...

    Bluder Botched the Transfer Portal

    Was thinking something similar. This team without Clark is…bad. Really unfortunate that next years team likely reverts to being irrelevant with half full attendance.

    The next Athletic Director? Will it be Beth? Who decides?

    The university sent out an email about a month ago with the committee members selected for the AD search. I’ll look for it tomorrow at work and post it. When I read through the list of committee members I was…surprised. The chair was an academic professor, a few athletes-none I’d heard of, an...

    92-0

    Objectively speaking yes, but perception is reality. Losing by a TD in a game vs getting blanked repeatedly means a lot. Nationally we’re an embarrassment as we’ve fallen on our face in every ranked matchup this year, if you think recruits look at the results as only a loss and don’t take into...

    215-27

    There is a contingent of fans here who say exactly this and will completely side step the previously mentioned facts. Getting nationally embarrassed in back to back games should sway opinion, but I’m confident the brain trust will have a way to positively spin this.

    Is Lachey practicing?

    No inside information on his availability, but I did see him walking without a boot with Hill and another player by the hospital last week. Obviously a huge difference between walking and playing a game, but given the gruesome nature of the injury it’s a positive sign.

    Jestin Jacobs

    Tis the season, In looking at updated rankings I’ll walk back the 2-3rd round expectation. Admittedly, I didn’t catch much of the Ducks defense this year. I do think Jacobs has a rare blend of size and athleticism that sets him apart, but injuries and modest production likely limit his draft...

    Jestin Jacobs

    Definitely this. Ryan Grubb is an offensive guru. On this particular drive they ran multiple draws and designed QB runs which sucked the defense in - Jacob’s got caught looking in the backfield a second too long, it happens. Not like he completely whiffed or botched the play. IMO if he stayed...

    Are we the worst 10-win P5 football team in CFB history?

    But hey we’re 10-2 and just kept Nebby out of getting to a bowl, so whatevs

    Has your opinion of Kirk changed? How?

    This is pretty spot on for me as well. I think he’s one of the most genuine coaches out there and he’s clearly passionate about the program and his players - queue the highlight real of all the times he let his emotions out after a win and when they did the special on him regarding his donation...

    Beth Goetz Had to Do This????

    I see your tone-deaf decision and raise you KF blaming this BF situation as a distraction for the remainder of the season and an excuse for future offensive woes/losses.

    Iowa football is a destination head coaching job; how many P5 jobs are a step up at Iowa?

    I was going to challenge this take as it felt like they just built the new football facility not that long ago. Sure as shit, they’re looking to do $2.5 million in locker room upgrades on it as it was built 10+ years ago already. College football is a different animal these days.

    ******Mich St vs Iowa Game Thread******

    Again, I’m just voicing displeasure with the offense regardless of the outcome of the game. I don’t post too frequently here and this is after all a free public forum and not North Korea. The idea that people can’t impact who the Iowa OC is is ludicrous. Our OC situation and this 25 ppg is a...
