    There is no way that’s a legit twitter account.

    NPR suspends veteran editor who blew whistle on liberal bias at organization

    Joe - are you an NPR listener? I’m someone who listens occasionally and it does feel like coverage has taken a harder turn to the left. The two big changes I’ve noticed were post-Trump coming on the scene and post-George Floyd. I used to listen to Fresh Air all the time. I hate Trump but it...

    It is what it is

    It was one practice and he was going against the second team but I thought Marco looked much better than Hill today. Still, Marco didn’t look that good. Clearly they need another portal QB.

    Truth Social shares go into freefall after investors learn how much money it really makes!!!

    I’m sure his lawyers and accountants are trying to find ways for him to legally cash out. Even if his board is comprised of his buddies, I imagine they they’d be putting themselves at risk of a major lawsuit if they let him cash out early.

    Two Kentucky boosters have just pledged $4 million for basketball NIL. Our AD has to put pressure on boosters and alumni for NIL...

    NCAA and ADs need to get off their asses and figure out a way to pay athletes directly. Figure out some salary cap structure so the sports are entertaining. If the transfer portal is unable to be reigned in, follow the NBA model where someone that stays at the same school can get paid more than...

    Iowa Womens Bball Portal Targets

    I agree, I have no problem with them getting paid. What will become boring for me is if transfers all load into a couple top schools. Someone else mentioned how beneficial parity is in coming into the women’s game. If the top transfers are just heading to UConn, LSU, etc., while I understand...

    Chicago and the White Sox in serious discussions for a new baseball only stadium downtown.

    The problem is that for almost all cities, they city isn’t making an up or down vote. It’s the city council or some other entity that decides to give out the money. Therefore, it isn’t very easy for voters to reject. In Minneapolis, a decade plus ago, voters rejected the new Vikings stadium and...

    Drake Relays

    Wish University of Iowa would run more guys at the Drake Relays. It seems like they have gotten a lot better at track but don’t send the full team to Drake.

    The Fall of Minneapolis

    How much of that is your friends aging and just not wanting to go downtown anymore? I’ve had older co-workers say the same about downtown Des Moines (e.g., “why would anyone want to live there”) where they basically take their own preferences and act like everyone should have the same. I’m not...

    Sooners looking to move out of Norman?

    I’m not sure why people are that up in arms. There have been numerous discussions here over the years on some dumb position the Iowa City city council has taken. If the university wanted a new basketball stadium and IC council was opposed due to the additional shadows the district would...

    Clark has offer for 5 MILLION DOLLARS

    She’s already known by basically anyone with an interest in sports. Is the publicity and attention good for the Fever if she gets absolutely dominated by a bunch of 40 year-old men? I would think that would be a set back to her brand and the WNBA. If she wasn’t already raking in endorsement...

    Caitlin Clark gets $5 Million big 3 offer

    I’m trying to use Twitter a lot less but its a hard habit to kick. You are right on the toxic people or bots. Having random Cyclone fans’ tweets in my feed that are annoying random shots at Iowa gotten so old. Even when I select “not interested in this tweet”, they keep feeding me it. I need to...

    *****W Virginia vs Iowa (W) Game Thread*****

    I’d play Affolter the rest of the way. At least she can drive to the hoop. Kylie probably should sit. Let McCabe spell Syd for a few minutes. Fewer dum passes and take the short jumper instead of forcing another pass into the post. WVU is giving the short jumper and stopping the extra pass to Hanmah.

    SWARM CEO Brad Heinrichs Explains why they Currently are Unable to Support the Men's Basketball Program like they Need To

    I will give Brad at the Swarm credit, I think he’s tried to be creative to raise funds beyond just asking for monthly / annual donations. The beer / vodka was creative. They’ve had golf outings and other experiences like a suite and meet and greet watching K. Murray and the Kings play. I’m glad...

    SWARM CEO Brad Heinrichs Explains why they Currently are Unable to Support the Men's Basketball Program like they Need To

    Exactly. The Athletic recently ran an article on donor fatigue which had fan quotes saying the same thing. Schools are getting record TV deals. Pay the players yourselves and stop asking us fans for more and more.

    Whitlock: NCAA using DEI to bust Caitlin Clark's and Iowa's WBB bracket

    I never said anything about equality. I’m just trying to watch basketball. You and the people you are complaining about are all annoying losers as far as I’m concerned.

    Whitlock: NCAA using DEI to bust Caitlin Clark's and Iowa's WBB bracket

    It’s funny, I think Whitlock originally had an anti-CC take like a few months or a year ago, assuming that would land big with his audience. When that didn’t work, its looked like he’s now pivoted to pro-CC DEI takes. Whitlock, Clay Travis, Jemelle Hill - the best thing America can do is...

    Pornhub: Now Illegal in TX

    I think the challenge is that there is a broad amount of porn and there is some social stigma related to it, more so than other vices. I think most adults would admit to watching porn (for those that do), just like they would admit to drinking alcohol, for example. However, I would think almost...

    Pornhub: Now Illegal in TX

    So that is how you word it when any new regulation is added to a business sector? When banks had to have new capital requirements, you would tell people banking is now illegal in the US, for example? I don’t like the new law but you’re being a douche with this argument, frankly.

    Realtor's commissions just dropped...

    To me, if you want that type of service as a buyer (having your own agent show you 10-20 houses), you’ll be able to get it. The question is, are you willing to pay what sellers were previously paying for that service? For example, on a $500k house, would you be willing to pay $15k for the...
