    Why was Levelle Moton never mentioned?

    I'm assuming there was supposed to be a jimlad, sarcasm pirate, or something at the end of this post.:plaugh:

    Why not Becky Hammon?

    Speaking of a woman coaching MBB, I still think ISU missed an opportunity when it didn't hire Vivian Stringer during one of our coaching searches.

    Model Athletic Departmet of the Big 12... Baylor?

    For track and field, baseball, and softball, geography does play a big part in success. And being in a big, sport crazed state with millions more people than Iowa helps a bunch. But in football, the game that provides the most financial return in most programs, geography is trumped by...

    Bowlsby says no Conference Championship Game

    If we don't get a CCG, could we eliminate the profusion of bye-weeks, so the season can end when there is less chance of truly lousy weather? The idea of dragging the season out so our last conference weekend nearly corresponds with the other leagues CCG's didn't work out so well. Besides...

    Thursday Poll: Funniest Things About Iowa Basketball Recruiting Strategy

    Hey, scoring 25 when you're the only decent shooter on a bad team is AWESOME! After all, the other team is going to concentrate all their defense on you. So if you can still put up 25, that's great. I'm surprised Mad Fran hasn't offered him yet....

    JTS construction webcam?

    AMEN!! Like everyone, I saw the projections of the project early on. But the projections don't convey the feeling that seeing the genuine article does. Been going to games in JTS since before it was JTS, somewhere about '78 or so. And all I can say is, WOW! Well done, Jamie and all those who...

    3 U of I Wrestlers Arrested in Marion on Theft Charges

    Reading the Gazette article, it would seem pretty difficult for the uofi to sweep this one under the carpet. The young men were charged with multiple crimes; under age drinking, resisting arrest, and the most serious ones (I'm guessing), possession of stolen material. Plus suspicion of 7...

    ISU 12th in new AP

    That must be a really big bandwagon that the AP voters ride on!

    McKay

    It appears to me that there has been a common thread in the play of all the transfers. I, being an un-savvy basketball fan, always expected that with their experience and the year off to get acclimated to the team and coaching, the transfers would be ready to go more or less instantly. But in...

    :::Official National Recruiting Day Thread:::

    I recall reading that all or nearly all of the new coach hires were outstanding recruiters. Hopefully that translates to more success on the field and more talented recruits in the future as the success wave keeps rising. Assuming we are more successful this season.

    The most impressive thing about our 2015 football recruiting class....

    So with the 2nd and 3rd best recruiting classes of the CPR era coming on deck this fall, we should be ready to rock and roll! Right?

    Bryce Meeker

    I admit that I haven't followed football recruiting much. But am curious as to why a prospect would fall in the recruit rankings after the season. It's not like the player can have some bad games to deflate his ranking. If memory serves me correctly I do recall that Bret Meyer was rated at 3...

    To Rush or Not To Rush

    Been so long since we've had reason to rush the field at the end of a game, I first thought the post was about our ability or inability to move the football on the ground.....:twitcy:

    Which Big XII member do you miss the most?

    TAM and CO are both better off where they are. CO wanted to be in the PAC 8/10/12 for decades. Their only real rivalry interest was NU. I'm sure it was a beautiful road trip to Boulder and it's environs, our only choice for mountains now is WVU. TAM was like the little brother (to UT)...

    Per FootballScoop Ferentz may walk away from Iowa

    Even sweeter and easier now that he apparently is letting the fan base (and majority vote of the coaching staff) choose the two deeps. I can see it now, after every game, eiu fans can choose the two deeps for the next game via an internet poll. Had they done that this year, the back up QB...

    Einstein of College Basketball Coaches Us

    When I listen to Fred on his pre- and post-game shows, his technical analysis of the game always leads me to wonder, "Did he learn that stuff from Johnny? Or somewhere in the pros?" He definitely has an Einstein-like grasp of the ins and outs of winning basketball. And to think how some folks...
