    Things your kids have said

    I had one back in the day when we lived out West when my oldest was in daycare before either my birthday or Father’s Day. They did those interview sheets where they ask the kid questions like how old is your dad, how much does your dad weigh, etc. They asked him who is your dad’s favorite team...

    Congrats Clones

    Congrats on the win. Tough loss for the Hawks. I was very impressed again with the toughness and fortitude of Morris and Niang. That is the number one thing Iowa is missing. I thought it was a great battle with a number of different players stepping up at different times in the game. I...

    List of potential replacements should Fred Hoiberg leave

    I haven't read all 34 pages of this thread but I just wanted to comment on Leon Rice. I am a Hawk fan living in Boise and really like Coach Rice. I certainly think there are questions in regards to Midwest vs West ties, non power 5 experience, NBA ties. I think Coach Rice is a throw-back...

    Jake McDonough talks about paying players.

    I know obviously not all players qualify for Pell Grants, but do athletes have access to student loans (subsidized/unsubsidized)?

    Why is the Iowa media/fans obsessed with Paul Rhoads?

    Hypothetical? Iowa did finish in the top 8 four times. ISU should have finished in the top 8 2 or 3 of the last 3 years but they didn't. I don't think KF is over paid for what he has given Iowa and I don't think Fred is over paid for what he has or will give ISU but they have only made the...

    Why is the Iowa media/fans obsessed with Paul Rhoads?

    You could basically make the same argument about PR vs Kirk. PR has a losing record against Iowa, KF, B10. What is your point?

    What excuse will EIU come up with?

    I can't come up with an excuse. I thought it was a great game by two pretty good teams. I was actually pretty pleased with how the Hawks handled adversity tonight. I am a little down about the last 30 seconds and stepping up and hitting their free throws but you have to hand it to the Clones...

    Arian Foster admits to accepting money

    Most jobs have requirements for employment (must be 18 years old, have a certain education level, etc). The NFL, NBA and MLB have job requirements to be eligible to work in those leagues.

    NBA Players drafted from each state

    I don't remember for sure but I don't think Oliver was drafted. Nick Collison and Adam Haluska would both be on the list. I think Ryan Bowen would be included from 1998 as well.

    Regents Approve $9 Mil for Kinnick

    Assuming everything you say is true, does that really change the historical comparison of the two programs? Hayden arrived nearly 30 years ago. Iowa certainly had a bad stretch before JHF but they did have an accomplishment or two between then and 1912.

    Rhode Island Vacation

    I have spent a bit of time in RI and really love Newport. The Breakers, Marble House and a number of other Gilded Age summer homes are really something to see. 4-5 days in RI may be a bit much but you could do a little more of New England but I think Newport (especially the cliff walk) is...
