Bo Nickal
This is not a minor thing.I think I have a pretty good indication that Tom was told to make a change and this wasn't just BT deciding he didn't want to coach anymore. He was only making $50K so that's part of it no doubt, but you don't just replace a Bobby Telford with a guy like Nickal out of nowhe
Which 1-year guy would you like to have back?
We had both of these guys for 1 year, but you get one of these guys for 1 more year. Which would you choose?I'm a football guy all the way and am a very casual basketball fan, so I'd love to see Gronowski have a full spring and summer this year.
Final BB Rankings
AP anyway.....Lol @ one comment (AP = Almost Plausible)Comment away.
Ben told UNC nope
It's being reported by Matt Norlander that UNC did contact coach McCollum and told him they wanted to interview him. However Ben said thanks but no thanks I'm home.... You think he'll use that on the recruiting trail from now till eternity?
This run should get us our Bennett Stritz replacement
What do you think?? We haven't had to rely solely on Bennett during this run which bodes vey nicely for us !! ( not saying even his presence helps) If these guys come back as a group with this solid big ten season under thier belt, stronger and knowing how the league plays and we get a scorer ev
Geno went full Geno
My god... Dude just can not handle losing. His interview during the game was a complete bitch fest about the refs and then he did the cardinal sin of bitching about the other coach Staley and how she was talking to the refs. He didn't seem to like that she did that. I guess only he can. I've never s
Last Tourney Game At Carver Today --- Ever?
The answer is "No" for now, but I found FDU coach presser comments interesting. She said Jan congratulated her on FDU season and added, " 'This is why we gotta get off the home courts. We gotta go neutral.' " I did a cursory look back at NCAA women' tourney and sites. It appears prior to 2018-2

Anybody know when this next shoe drops?
O-Line
Listened to the latest Legends and Listeners with Doc and Chad. It made me more confident in Iowa's O-line next year, said Pieper may have been the best lineman last year. Also very high on LBs, D-Line is another story but everyone knows that.
Worst GM in pro sports

Can this year get anymore unbelievable
After a solid but middle of pack year Hawks get in tournament and make a great run. Not the most talented team but one winnable game away from final 4. What a year for 1st year Coach McCullomNow I have seen a number of sports articles which have our coach as a possible candidate to be the next NC he

No champaign in Champaign
Welp, there will be a house divided here come Saturday.Me: started following Iowa in 1970. From Hampton Iowa. Still vividly remember listening to the last second BB loss to Jacksonville on WHO. Graduated from Iowa. Hawks are in my DNA. But now I live in western Illinois.Wifey: born/raised/indoctrina

Nolan Groves
The portals officially open Monday and it likely will get wild and crazy. Let's hope the Hawks successfully fill some of their needs.I saw a post on X the last couple days that may have some legs.Nolan Groves, who I'd never heard of, is entering the portal. He just finished his freshman year at Texa
Iowa State…
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAThat’s all.Watched the game start to finish while paging through the 100+ page meltdown on CyFan.I don’t think there’s ever been a better week long stretch in Hawkeye history.
Bruce Pearl and Jalen Rose post game
Apologies if this has already been mentioned on one of the threads, but the post game with Pearl and Rose was surreal to me. It felt like Bruce Pearl was literally in my text thread with high school buddies or sitting next to me on the couch.There, on national TV, within minutes of the biggest Hawke
I Want To Address Something...
Starting about 5 minutes after the lincoln city dumpsterfires lost that game, I got flooded with texts from nebraska fan associates of mine. I can't call them friends because it makes me dry heave...Anywhoo...the texts were mostly about how the refs gave us the game because they weren't supposed to

Sad to see that Callie Levin has become the latest to hit the transfer portal.
CBS Sports Predictions
Interesting quote.The Hawks have not had fewer than 8 wins since 2014. That is a string of 10 consecutive seasons in which the Hawks have won at least 8 games.In 6 of those years Iowa won at least 9 games. And in 4 seasons the Hawks had at least 10 wins.So, of course, the experts predict 7.5 wins fo
How did Indiana get to where Iowa wants to be
What Indiana has done is amazing to me, I did not think it was possible for a non power to do what they have done.Coaching - I have total respect for Ferentz & staff, most all players love him, develop under program, many end up in NFL as 2 ,3, 4 stars.Coaching philosophy - win line of scrimmag

March Madness
That UConn win over Duke was incredible. Coming back after down 19. Shooting 1-18 from 3 until late and winning on a steal and long 3 at the buzzer.Not that I am a UCONN fan but I love seeing Duke go down.Maybe gives Illinois a better chance. Would be great to see an all Big Ten Final

Penn's Leading Scorer Entering Transfer Portal.
Ethan Roberts is a 6' 5" wing who led Penn with 17 pts a game and was their most effective player. He's from Chicago area and started at Army, went to Drake but medical redshirted than to Penn. Boy, would that be interesting and funny if Iowa was able to snag him. Illinois & other BIG schools may be
J.J.
She seems to be a good recruiter, but as a coach, not so much. Lisa B. was better than we have seen with Jan. I would have thought she would have a better grip of using T.O. to her advantage. Hand clapping and rah rah don't get it done.
The War
Here’s an interesting take, read the articlehttps://twitter.com/x/status/2027799113182679061
can Emely Rodriguez medically redshirt?
is she elegible for the medical redshirt? I think she brings the toughness that Iowa needs. Her shot selection and driving to the basket can look a bit selfish, at times. Certainly not what you would expect in an Iowa "system" player. But, she has talent. Can Jan harness that or will Emely bolt to t
OPINION
Do you think the mens team will overtake the women's team in popularity anytime soon? I believe it will. Not right away but soon!
Epi fails physical for Browns
Been reading where Epi was in Cleveland about a new contract for a year at 5mill but the Browns found something wrong with his physical. He's back on the free agency market.
Ben Kueter
So is he playing football this yr? Haven't heard anything about him in awhile. I'm no wrestling fan. I occasionally will see some wrestling stuff but I don't pretend to be a huge fan or keep up with it. But is he sticking with wrestling or coming back to football and in spring ball this yr or what?
Fryowa ODs on Diet Coke.
A northwest Iowa hospital reported this morning that a gentleman who would identify himself only as 'Fryowa' was admitted last night with an acute case of Diet Coke overdose.

It's officially official--Walk BMC is coming to Iowa
All the news outlets and Hawk reporters have said the NIL amount was the final detail that had to be ironed out. Love the hire. I'll watch Iowa Basketball again, win or lose.
Group project idea...
We need a video montage of, "We had to consider where Iowa was as a program..."Followed by all of the humiliations Nebraska has suffered at the hands of the Hawkeyes in the subsequent 10 years. I am thinking clips from FB, MBB, and WBB over that time. Maybe some stills thrown in. Something like...Fo

Random Thoughts By Jack Handy.
1) Of the top 100 games in the NCAA tourney, Iowa has 3 of the top 4 games for offensive adjustment. I think this is a measure of efficiency.vs Clemson = 142.2vs Florida = 141.7vs Nebby = 143.2The other is Alabama vs Texas Tech = 141.92) Bennet Stirtz has played every minute of every game and has 1
My The Things We've Seen...
Some things we have seen happen or have accomplished this year. Many not expected even by the biggest homer. Not in any particular order...- Some asked it or speculated how that Drake team would do in our conference. We pretty much saw it play out for real. A team of MVC and some former D2 players d
Hawks playing with house money
Florida is big athletic and experienced in this setting. Really no one expects Hawks to winBut this has been a great start for Mcullom. To win 20 plus get into and win a game in the tournament is was at the top of my expectations. Really with not a lot of size and talent. So far you really have to l

Son of former Iowa basketball coach entering transfer portal
Saw thisheadlineand couldn't think of who they were talking about at first. Apparently Matta retired from Butler and Jack is in the portal. I know where he won't be going, my guess would be Penn. I wish him success where ever he decides to play.
