    McCaffery to Notre Dame?

    Hawk fans are sticking it to Fran after the NW loss. McCaffery spent 10 years as an ***'t at Notre Dame and his wife went to school there. The Irish are a hot mess right now. Would Fran jump at the chance to go back to South Bend if ND cans Brey? I don't think it would happen this season but...

    Iowa Really Stinks

    I know Iowa almost beat us early in the season, but what Hawkeye would you trade for if you could. McCabe and Woodbury would never get off the bench for Fred. Gesell over Morris or Kane? Marble over Melvin -- no way. Not to mention how McCaffery pulls a guy every time he makes a mistake or...

    Your Best Johnny Orr Stories here.

    I have a couple. 1-At the first Veisha "riot" in '87? the police called Johnny down to Welch Ave. to try and get the students to go home at about 4 AM. Johnny came out and with a bullhorn told everyone that enough fun had been had and it was time to go home, and that's what we did. 2-I had...

    QB recruits

    Early in the season he was getting looks from UNI and North Dakota State. I think he could be a Drew Brees-type player. About 6-1...the most accurate HS QB I've ever seen. He's thrown for over 3,000 yards two years in a row while often playing just half the game because of blowouts.

    *** Iowa State @ Oklahoma Game thread ***

    I'm tired of hearing how good Vanderkamp is. How many shanks has he had this season. I know it's windy but he seems to punch at the ball instead of following through. He's hurt ISU all season.

    where are the ND fans???

    My wife and I are ISU grads from the 80's and our son goes to Notre Dame. ND renovated their basketball arena a few years ago and reduced the number of seats to around 8,000 I think, and most nights they don't come close to selling out. My son went to all the football games and just 2 BB games...

    Tom Izzo

    Re-watching the game and every time a shot goes up, Lucious just turns and looks..never even tries to box out his man, leading to a couple of easy putbacks. He only seems interested in jacking up long three's.

    Mike Gesell

    There were a lot of people (just fans) who watched Hinrich play in high school who didn't think he would play much at KU. Gesell's coach, who had a brother play with Hinrich, acknowledges that Hinrich is bigger, but thinks Gesell's skill set is similar to Hinrich's. Gesell was one of the top...

    Mike Gesell

    ESPN rates him the 12th best point guard in the country. McDermott was looking at him but Hoiberg showed no interest. Some think he's a Kirk Hinrich type talent and he gets overlooked by some for not being "athletic" enough. Hinrich heard the same thing and he's been in the NBA for 8 years...

    SIOUX CITY (KTIV) -- One of the best high school basketball players in Sioux City has switched schools. Wesley Staten, who committed to Iowa State as a freshman, has left West High and transferred to Bishop Heelan. Bishop Heelan head coach Tom Betz told News Channel 4 that Staten's last day...
