    Time to Start Over

    SD makes a great point, why sign any coach to a “longer than recruiting needs” contract? So for example, if Devries came to Iowa go $24 over 6 years. If by year 2 things aren’t looking up, and the fans aren’t buying tickets, does he really need an extension? I assume it’s bad to not have a...

    Time to Start Over

    Wrong about football. Personally I don’t even care about wrestling but I do understand many do. Men’s hoops needs new life. McCaffery family needs to go away. They needed to go away 5 years ago in my view. He had 4 NBA players on the same team and sat two so his kids could play though.

    Brody Brecht #9 ranked player in the MLB 24 draft class

    I’m too lazy to search for it but a couple years ago when the WR room was not looking very good, I mentioned Brody was going to be a much better baseball player and at least one poster here laughed at the thought. That poster can take their L whenever. And yeah, kind of pathetic of me to bring...

    **Iowa vs OSU BTT Game Thread**

    I have been asking for years which coach is responsible for defense. Nobody has ever had an answer - maybe they brought somebody in recently, I don’t know, I don’t really care anymore. Fran is a horrible coach and his nepotism problem is as bad as KF. Beth, your turn to fix shit again… I trust you!

    What a terrific year ladies!!!!

    Ok. Fair enough, I respect opinions. The only thing is I do not consider my degree from Iowa to mean I’m a better or more natural fan than anybody else. I get why people say “we”. I do it all the time. That stated, I also get why others say it’s not the correct pronoun. At least I think...

    What a terrific year ladies!!!!

    I know what you mean, but that’s like the grammar police on steroids. Since I went to Iowa, and maybe all of us on this board did, can I say “we”?

    Iowa WBB #2 in new AP poll

    Very true as well. I accept the argument that “when Iowa is ON, they can play with anybody”. One thing nobody has said yet (I think) is the NCAAW definitely want Clark on TV as much as possible. She drives ratings. Whether that means what I think it might mean… who can say?

    Iowa WBB #2 in new AP poll

    I’m afraid it won’t be a long phone call, you can hang up whenever. I don’t have anything for you except my (possibly, probably) naive opinion. Again, I don’t want to be right about this. Go Hawks!

    Iowa WBB #2 in new AP poll

    I’m hoping for the best but when I think about it honestly, I’m not seeing this team get to the final four. Any team that has multiple bigs can just destroy Iowa inside, but they also need one lock down defender to guard Clark. I just feel like the Lady Hawks lack inside depth although Hannah...

    FRAN, STOP PLAYING YOUR SON!!!!!

    Ok my apologies for any offense taken. However I think we’d both agree to the following: 1) every player can have bad games here and there. 2) as long as that player has had many more good games, we as fans shrug it off. 3) PMac hasn’t earned the right for MOST of us to give him such...

    FRAN, STOP PLAYING YOUR SON!!!!!

    Tone deaf post there… Perkins and Krikke have racked up a lot of goodwill this season. Sandfort too. Patrick has lead the team in what I call “jump twirls” though.

    FRAN, STOP PLAYING YOUR SON!!!!!

    If Beth is the AD most of us think she is them she will be talking to Fran to be sure this doesn’t happen. My hope is Beth is going to show Fran attendance graphs and tell him it’s time to move along… Iowa men’s basketball has reached a level of apathy no AD wants to have to deal with. Our...

    *****Illinois vs Iowa Game Thread*****

    You know what? I barely post here anymore, but I can recall you and I both taking a ton of crap 5-7 years ago for pointing out Fran has been a horrible coach.

    *****Illinois vs Iowa Game Thread*****

    All of you blaming the players are blaming the wrong people. You want to know why “something” keeps happening, whether it’s lousy defense, poor shot selection, no offensive game plan, playing your garbage son too much, etc? It’s one man who allows it to happen.

    Fran Booted for getting his 2nd T

    I’ve been trying to tell you guys for years. Many of you made fun of me or worse, said I’m not a real fan. The whole family has got to go.

    Vines to the portal

    Anybody bashing Vines is a moron. It’s not like ANY receiver can shine at Iowa in this piss poor offense. I don’t blame him at all. I wish him luck.

    I don’t see it…this season is just a rinse and repeat of previous seasons…staring down the barrel of 13+ losses.

    Haha, I’ve been telling you guys this for years. He’s not a good coach. Guard play is always an issue as is defense and rebounding. Way too much PMac. That said, I will try to enjoy this year because I see promise in some players and I think the B1G is not very good outside of a few teams...

    I think that’s his point. Go up strong and you might get that call.

    *****Iowa vs Creighton Game Thread*****

    I’ve just always thought he looks like he’s playing just on the wrong side of out of control, if that makes sense. When he holds it barely together, he can be great, but many times he’s kind of tripping over his own feet or flailing around. I appreciate what he is and what he’s done, but I...

    *****Iowa vs Creighton Game Thread*****

    Did not love the end of half strategy…. Had a chance to call a TO and set up an actual play, instead we chose to run kind of long-shot. That 2-3 points could be huge. I wish the staff understood these things. Also, when you’ve got #8 Creightin on the ropes, you don’t HAVE to play all of your...
