    Clark should stay another year at Iowa.

    WNBA had its highest TV ratings and attendance in 20 years this season. The Caitlin Clark era is happening at a time when interest in women’s professional basketball has never been higher. It’s like when MJ entered the NBA right when the league was beginning to take off. The timing was...

    Is KF aware of any top OC's who run a more explosive type offense?

    This is the maddening part: the stubborn refusal to move away from QBs built like Greg Brunner. Iowa’s best offenses have featured QBs capable of breaking off runs of more than 15 yards. The best OC on the planet can’t help an immobile QB operating behind tissue-paper pass protection.

    Ferentz and HoF consideration, milestone hit tonight

    There are 32 coaches in the HoF with winning percentages of .599 or lower. Whatever rule says Kirk ain’t a Hall of Famer isn’t a rule anyone will uphold.

    Beth Goetz

    Imagine it’s the early mid 2000s and Bob Bowlsby is still AD and Iowa fans are worried about Kirk going to the NFL. And I tell you that Kirk will still be at Iowa in 2023 winning games because of a 26-year-old Australian punter, but we’re hoping an interim AD fires his son for literally having...

    Here is a fresh perspective…..

    Had him on the ropes in “you’re” mind.

    No Doyle = No Oline

    People who use the word “woke” in conversation got C+ grade in high school and blame the world for their car shop on the corner not taking off.

    Iowa State might go 1-11

    Matt Campbell getting run out of Ames is gonna be amazing to watch. Still pissed Iowa actually lost a game to their savior.

    Utah St postgame review - good, bad, pretty good?

    There’s an old saying that some people have a face for radio. After watching two minutes of that Hawk Central video, I think those dudes need to realize they are meant for the written word.

    What do you think the opening line will be for CyHawk game?

    The Vegas line went from -7.5 Iowa to pick ‘em the moment Cooper DeJean dropped the gift 6.

    Proctor getting good reviews

    There are 2 types of dudes: Those who married the hot chick from high school and those who can’t let it go. As someone who’s of the former club, I strongly suggest you let this one go.

    Update: Noah Shannon CLEARED TO PRACTICE. 26 UI student-athletes investigated for online gambling, incl in FB, Men’s BB, Baseball, T&F & Wrestling

    NCAA is dying and doing this to pretend it still has teeth.

    Utah State will be paid $1,650,000. Western Michigan $1,500,000

    And even if it's based on ticket revenue, why not tell Utah State they can have the money generated by their fans who buy tickets and travel to Iowa City? Will never not bother me that one school has to pay another school to play a game, especially when it's not uncommon for the team getting...

    Utah State will be paid $1,650,000. Western Michigan $1,500,000

    If 1500 fans each donate $1000 to the athletic department, they just paid for Utah State to play a football game. The absurdity of collegiate football economics has to end. Why the hell would any sane Iowa fan care to support the Utah State football program in this manner?

    So now two Iowa games are exclusively on Peacock?

    As someone who has played the streaming game for several years (and quite well if I do say so myself) here are some high level thoughts that should address many questions I’ve seen in this thread: 1. MetroNet is an incredible internet service provider that I have used for two years since it...

    Can we have a civil conversation about the Iowa offensive struggles the past couple years?

    I did the math for you all so you don’t have to: Brian needs to average 25 ppg… for the season. Doesn’t need to score 25+ points EVERY GAME. Say Iowa drops 55 opening day against Utah State, 28 against Iowa State and 48 against Western Michigan. That 131 points through 3 games is a 43.6 ppg...

    What if the 2015 Hawks had the 2021 or 2022 Hawk defense

    You likely aren't wrong. BUT in this dream scenario, Shonn Greene would have entered the season as a Heisman favorite. The Hawks were ranked like 21 or 22 in the preseason poll without him. They are undeniably starting that season borderline Top 10 with him. Would it have been enough to edge...

    What if the 2015 Hawks had the 2021 or 2022 Hawk defense

    I’ll take the 2009 Iowa team with Shonn Greene.

    Five things that stood out at kids day

    So long as we hear the name DeJean 10x for every time we hear the name DeJong, this is a 10 win Iowa team at minimum.

    2002 Iowa vs. Michigan

    Was fun to watch that again. Was a freshman living in Hillcrest watching that live in 2002. Thing that stood out on the rewatch, sadly, was that graphic in the 3rd quarter about Iowa’s blown double digit leads that year up to that point. We all say “what if” with the Iowa State loss, but forget...

    Kaleb Johnson Ready for Sophomore Year Leap

    Sometimes when I'm having a bad day I watch Kaleb Johnson's Purdue highlights and suddenly everything is ok.
