    Wow - UI is now officially a stepping stone

    Someone was saying on Cotlar this morning that Iowa can get a great coach. Since they don't have to pay Alford's buyout, they could spend up to $2 million to lure a Gillespie or a Pearl.

    My 2 cents on Taylor's punishment

    I'm not on board with cutting Taylor loose. If McDermott wants to make a tough statement, I would suspend him for the first five games of the season. In addition, I would tell him to get a student loan, and I would give Thompson back his scholarship. This, to me, would be tough, but fair, way...

    We better hope Garrett is as good as Advertised (Mike Taylor arrested)

    By the way, I don't think Garrett was brought in to fill Taylor's niche. It's my understanding that he is more of a slasher than a sharshooter. I think that Staiger is going to be the one that needs to step up to fill the shooter role, if Taylor receives any game suspensions. I have full...

    We better hope Garrett is as good as Advertised (Mike Taylor arrested)

    Re: Taylor alledgedly arrested: My bad on the repeat. I didn't see a title that summed it up.

    Lazer 103 drops Mancow

    I hated Mancow, and I only listened to him when it was my co-worker's choice for the radio that day. He was a mix of Rush Limbaugh, Howard Stern and the Jerky Boys; however, he constantly told you how original he was. Good Riddance. I'll turn on 106.3 and enjoy some music.

    Portland

    You can go to the Full Sail microbrewery. It overlooks the Columbia river, and there's often sailboarder's out doing their thing. They have a pretty good amber.

    Most tired sports cliches

    Mine would have to be message boards cliches involving rivals. The Cyclones are always the clowns from an Iowa point of view. Cyclones call the Hawkeyes the squawks. Come on, aren't we mature enought to acknowledge the other school by their chosen name? I often question the maturity of the...

    I'm excited about the depth of next year's team. Even if Garrett and Brackins aren't world beaters, they should still provide some quality minutes. Plus, no offense intended towards Ceaser and Jacobsen, we'll have almost all of our minutes accounted for by scholarship athletes.

    Hunter suspended for amphetamines.

    Does this mean that Will could be returning to the show during his supsension?

    New South Park Tonite!!!!

    The preview I saw made it look like they were going to do something with Kramer's N bomb rant.

    **** Vitale in HOF??

    I don't care for the man's broadcasts. However, he's become iconic in college basketball. If Keith Jackson, whom I don't find annoying, is in the football HOF, then I suppose that Vitale might belong in the basketball one.

    Big 12 Spring Preview

    Six wins would be great. However, I think five would be a success. Much like basketball, I just want to see our team get better as the season progresses, and I want to see us look competitive even when we lose.

    NITology doesn't mention us.

    That probably means they think that we need two wins in the conference tournament. One of those would have to come against a red hot Kansas team. I would love for these guys to get a little post-season experience, but the year would probably still be considered a success without it. Most of...

    Big 12 Spring Preview

    The article seems pretty accurate. If Chizik and staff can shore up the lines, we could make some waves this year. However, those are pretty big if's. We'll need our juco's to hit the ground running.

    Speaking of "New Look Uniforms"

    Exactly, Colorado. I'm thinking of how Oliver Miller, Tractor Traylor or Big Vic would have looked in those things. Not every D1 quality player has the ideal figure. I'm not even sure that long and lanky (Hubalek) can pull those things off.

    The new recruit and questions

    Isn't he part of the D1 scheduling payback? Just kidding.

    OT-Red Hot Chili Peppers

    Did they play anything from Freaky Styley(sp?), or Real Men Don't Kill Coyotes? How far back did they go?

    Nice honor for Huluska

    If Adam Haluska had not left, we may still have Wayne Morgan at the helm. As a senior last year, he could have easily made a difference in enought games to have put us in the tournament. Looking at the big picture, maybe it's better he didn't. McDermott could have ended up at Iowa City rather...

    Thank you to Iowa...

    I remember back to last year. Iowa was winning, and a large portion of the fan base who wanted him fired the year before was saying that this was the real Steve Alford. If the measure of a coach is being able to keep one class together in 8 years, and being able to win with 4 seniors and a...
