    Iowa needs to go get Raegan Beers from Oregon State

    Soooo...are you saying that we don't need to pursue this player? Just trying to get a read on what you are laying down, that's all. /sarc :) :)

    Geno Auriemma on "one and done" in girls Hoops

    Agreed. From a casual fans perspective (me) the men's game is unfollowable these days. I am not sure if I could name five players from all the other B10 teams. Zach Edey...that's all I got. :) As it turns out...I like to follow the progress of teams over the years...not just watch what amounts...

    Was Brody Brecht a Bigger Disappointment in Football or Baseball?

    I am not arguing with you, as I really don't know how his mechanics are working. But I am flabbergasted that after 3 years in a D1 college program that there hasn't been marked improvement via coaching and repetition, etc. This sounds very similar to a report a couple years back where the FB...

    81 year old kills 61 year old Uber driver

    While I think it is clear that the shooter didn't react to the situation correctly, he also had a pretty good reason, the ransom/extortion call earlier, to be "on edge". He made multiple wrong choices, yes, but I can appreciate that an elderly man, a vulnerable soul, was essentially being...

    How much time do you spend alone, in silence?

    Does the sound of a wood splitter, tractor, mower, chain saw running, etc, violate the silence clause here? Because I have a lot of personal "quiet" time while doing these types of tasks. And still a fair amount of total quiet while fishing, hunting, woodworking.

    81 year old kills 61 year old Uber driver

    FWIW, I can totally see my now deceased paternal grandmother being VERY vulnerable to this type of "family member in trouble, send money" scam. It is also true that there would be a host of plausible scenarios that a trickster could have baited her with...as more than a few members of my...

    "Never Call the Cops" Policy at a Bar?

    Funny, not funny. Man, it seems like one of the few sane individuals in this melee was the person who called for help...and then got fired. I would think that the business owner is going to have a tough time here, as he/she should IMO. It's akin to telling employees not to call the fire...

    Iowa Womens Bball Portal Targets

    Technically, wrestling has 9.9 scholarships. But with NIL...I don't think those limits really constrain everyone.

    Iowa Men 17th in the B1G next year???

    Are you sure, cuz generally Fran's team don't make it into the round of 16 from what I hear. Oh, wait, you meant in the conference. Oh OK, well, I am not even sure about that now that I think about it. :)

    5 police officers for a seatbelt violation

    If you watched the video there were an awful lot of those 96 shots taken when the officers would have NO IDEA if they had connected or not. Standard LEO training is to keep shooting until the threat is confirmed to be neutralized...and they really could not do that for at least the first 2/3 of...

    5 police officers for a seatbelt violation

    Aaaaannnnddd...he resisted many legit requests immediately prior to the shots starting. I have ZERO sympathy for the deceased shooter...as soon as you start resisting AND produce a weapon...it's open season as far as I am concerned.

    5 police officers for a seatbelt violation

    Agreed. ^^ Although it does seem like some more target practice for the officers would be a good idea.
