    So.. Should Coop have stayed?

    Trade-offs ... his initial contract won't be as big. But also, he'll be a year closer to his 2nd contract. As others indicated ... between being a white-cb and coming off an injury ... it was probably too risky to invest in him as a 1st rounder (or, at least, that could have been the perception).

    Getting to 85

    HIlson has been on the depth chart before.

    Schools #19 and #20

    Pretty much the only Texas schools that could "fit" the B1G in terms of academics, research, athletics, and market-reach would be Texas or TAMU. Baylor actually could potentially be borderline too ... their med-school given them a substantial bump ... but their market-reach probably isn't...

    Schools #19 and #20

    TCU doesn't "fit" the B1G.

    I doubt that Iowa hasn't been weaving in "modern concepts" as it relates to blocking. Iowa's O has only been in full "Jalopy"-mode since 2021. However, before then ... there was at least some modicum of eptitude on the offensive side of the ball. Even Iowa fans would admit that when Brian...

    Petras QB #1 at Utah State?

    Petras got "dumped on" so much by fans ... just as much as was dumped on Brian. It's oddly poetic that now folks are wishing him well ... now seeing him have success at Utah State. I've always contended that players are capable of improving ... and Spencer always improved for us. However...

    Yeah ... lots of issues on the O last season. Folks forget that the RB room was slated to be a strength ... but then we were decimated by injuries even there (particularly early). On top of that ... so much on O is reliant on confidence ... and a lot of that went downhill ... during the...

    A lot of folks get hung up on the false-narrative that Kirk micromanages the O. The primary "stamp" that he puts on the O relates to the following: 1. the philosophy of ballance 2. the philosophy of ball-security 3. the philosophy that punting is not bad (field position matters) 4. the STYLE...

    Kirksey retires as a Cleveland Brown

    I've always been a big fan of Kirksey. I genuinely hope that he was smart with how he handled his money. I hope he enjoys his retirement from the game.

    I think that you're off a little there. The whole significance of "modern concepts" in college ball ... is that it makes things simpler for the QB (and other players too, for that matter). RPOs are dead-easy ... they actually rely on FEWER keys that Iowa's prior O. One of the bigger problems...

    A few comments ... As other already indicated, we're over the 'ship limit ... so some attrition had to happen. Even with the new OC's O being a little more WR-friendly ... Iowa's O is always still going to give its TEs and RBs a lot of touches. Thus, Iowa is still a team that will pretty much...

    Good Story from April 11th's open practice. Lots of motion is seen. Terrell Washington Jr has moved to WR

    The thing is that being a part of a football team is A LOT more than just the product you see on the field. It's a process of the molding of men. It's the forging of friendships that can last a lifetime. Lastly, the NFL doesn't come calling for everyone. So, for many guys, the memories they...

    Serious question: Optimism about any Hawkeye sports this coming year?

    Yeah ... some folks seem to forget that we still have Phil Parker ... and we had surprisingly large number of guys choose to use their covid-year. This D ought to be quite-strong. The question, as always, will be whether the O can carry their weight. The punting game ought to take a step...

    Whitlock: WNBA will destroy Caitlin

    Don't know if I'd call it "hate." Some of what I've read sounds more like old-people who talk about how things were in "their day" ... and then they're just envious how young people have it now. Were I Dawn Staley ... imagine how she could have "cashed in" with here game had she played now...

    Iowa Womens Bball Portal Targets

    Part of it likely has more to do with where donors want their money spent. Also, schools do not pay out NIL-dollars ... so it has to deal more with the coordination of external entities that CAN pay out the NIL dollars. Also, part of it deals simply with how the athletic department is managed...

    Whitlock: WNBA will destroy Caitlin

    If you've tracked Taurasi and Bird before ... they've been complimentary about Caitlin before. Now Taurasi is 100% a competitor ... so she wants the spotlight every bit as much as Caitlin. Thus, I'm sure that a part of her wants to keep Caitlin "in her place" as a rookie. However, Taurasi is...

    Whitlock: WNBA will destroy Caitlin

    Sorry, but you're a little cray. You don't think that Caitlin doesn't already have plenty of gay friends? If you're in women's basketball ... it's pretty much a given. As for being white ... you're really off your rocker there. The WNBA is not partitioned by race whatsoever. Plenty of...

    Iowa Womens Bball Portal Targets

    I don't think that would be much of an issue at all ... particularly as the Iowa coaches reassure the player that they expect them to just be themselves (and to play within themselves). I think that the legend of Caitlin Clark ... and what she's said about Bluder and the rest of the staff is...

    Time to recruit, Lisa.

    Yeah, in football it's a little more understandable ... simply as a numbers and population issue. However, in basketball, roster-sizes are so small ... that you would imagine that it shouldn't be a numbers issue. Of course, Iowa's roster dealt with a good bit of attrition at guard ... because...

    18.9M Viewers vs South Carolina(All-Time College WBB Record); 14.4M vs UConn; 12.3M vs LSU; 6.87M vs Colorado; 4.9M vs W Virginia; 3.23M vs Holy Cross

    Not subjective at all ... particularly when you look at where UConn was before Geno. Geno built that program up from the ground up ... from scratch ... and took it to unprecedented levels. Obviously, given what Geno has built, he's obviously has been able to stock his roster. That roster...
