    Dan Dakich Calling out J-Bo

    I am a huge Jordan fan, but Dakich is mostly right and hilarious. Jordan is a lot about Jordan. Also, Dan probably didn't get knocked since in most situations he would be by far the biggest guy in the brawl. His point was good and tells a little about the gelded post-modern American male...

    How a high school coach feels about LeVar Woods & Iowa coaches in general

    Bra ****ing vo! The Never Ferentz bitter enders will never accept anything good about Iowa football. Always met with snark or low brow attacks. Almost everywhere you go in the country you will find football people saying the same things. Everyone knows that Iowa punches way above our weight...

    Fear

    I think we have four more seasons. KF will be 70. Probably want to enjoy a few years of good health so I could see him going until 2026.

    Ryan Bowen, Head Coach & NBA Champion

    So Ryan would need to prove himself as an HC in the hardest and most talented basketball league in the world before he's qualified to be a HC at a maybe a top 25% program in a substantially easier level of competition in basketball. I think Iowa has about 6 years left with McC. I will be...

    New Story ***Alex Mota commits to Iowa***

    I'm told this kid's football IQ is very high and he's a fast learner. Receiver is the least complex position to learn.

    Are "student-athletes" on their way to being Reclassified as Employees?

    NIL just involved the IRS. The players probably haven't thought through taxes. But the IRS and taxation are nothing compared to the damage the NLRB could do.

    Barta nonsense

    The permanent first step in fixing anything public or "large". Cui bono.

    Barta nonsense

    It's the culture at Iowa City. It's been going on since President Boyd left. It got so bad in the late 80's that Terry threatened to fire not only the President but the entire Board of Regents over Iowa athletics.

    Are "student-athletes" on their way to being Reclassified as Employees?

    You know what college athletics really need, more federal intervention and control. You know, because the mongoloids running this country have done such a great job since about 1965.

    Barta nonsense

    That decision was not made by either Wilson or Barta. The AG made that decision and probably with the informal approval or direction of the Governor.

    Are "student-athletes" on their way to being Reclassified as Employees?

    They can form a union and become subject to NLRB arbitration of the silliest shit the most sensitive late adolescents can dream up. Many other consequences. Were I a congressman I would be on the phone getting a bill out of committee that defines student athletes as not employees for any...

    11 Commits - Who next?

    Haa. I get you on that one to be sure. Played a game of Global War, in board game days, that went on for a week. Forgot about SAT day.

    Hunter D.

    This is predictable and catastrophic. In addition to opening the door for more taxation it bring college athletics under labor regulations. That means a player's union, and federal regulators looking into every DEI and woke complaint that disgruntled players make. This country is literally...

    Will we open things up?

    The reason I usually say the numbers tell you what you are because they factor in and reflect the play. So the offensive problems reflect the number of dropped passes, the number of missed reads or the number of terrible missed throws. I don't know that we have a bad offensive coordinator...

    Been reading a couple of these Win TOTAL predictions..

    Win all the NC games and all the home games and we get to 8. That requires a road win over an always mediocre ISU. Right now I favor Iowa in that game, if for no other reason than that's the usual result. Iowa up 7-3 last ten games played. A road win at Wiley seems likely at this point. I...

    11 Commits - Who next?

    One thing you quickly learn when dealing with national media and political ops. The coastal media and elites really just see Iowa as a spot on the map, of little consequence and ultimately populated with kind of backward and unsophisticated people. I had two women from maybe Reuters or NBC ask...

    11 Commits - Who next?

    Not to every top level recruit nor even anywhere close to every recruit gets; but to at least some recruits. At the end, nationally we're "just Iowa." Re both posts. I think the offer list and identity of whoever is promoting the kid have a lot more to do with rankings than actual play...

    11 Commits - Who next?

    You'd lose. I'm OCD as hell. I used to track this. Frequently reduced, especially in basketball, although the norm is our guys almost never get a bump. Then I found a new OCD hobby and stopped that silliness. Olesani was the worst. On the day he signed with Iowa he dropped from a 3* to...

    Next Man In: Hayden Large

    Hayden is large. Leverage is valuable but he might have the size to just overwhelm the LB. Wouldn't throw a ball at him until the game with Sparty. Let them see that one, after watching him block for three games.

    Will we open things up?

    I don't think it was Petras wilting, I think KF is naturally cautious. The coaches get paid to win. KF knew the only way to get wins was to limit turnovers and count on rock solid defense and special teams. Where this backfired was the perceived less risky choice didn't limit turnovers or...
