    Hayden Pauls commits

    Not sure how much we were competing with each one, but the list of Iowan OL commits to Iowa who had both ISU and Iowa offers back to 2016: Wirfs, Fenske, Endres, Miller, Kallenberger. They have a 2020 commit from Volk. There may be more out-of-state guys, but, meh...I'll leave that to someone else.

    Spartan Loss

    A message board ******* match on the unwritten rules of court-storming. This is AWESOME! I'll be back later to see who's winning the argument. Brap.

    Marquette looks TURRIBLE!

    I think they are playing in a tournament over T-Giving in which they play Dayton (pretty good), could possibly play Notre Dame and Wichita State. They play FSU, no clue if they're any good, though. Of course they play us (pats self on back). Then again, they did play a terrible Coppin State...

    Dear America - Iowa Doesn't Care What You Think

    Kinda wish I could complain bout being ranked "only" #9. I didn't listen to Miller's thing, but I think the problem a lot of fans have -- not just Hawk fans but those around the nation -- is that Alabama is ranked in the top 4 with a loss against an Ole Miss team that has two losses.

    Actually the Iowa in the NIT Thread

    Pretty impressive. They actually had fans there that cared and made it a tough venue. Not the blue hairs. Yeah, I know the oldies donate big $$$, but they tend to think they're going to Maude's funeral rather than a game.

    Actually the Iowa in the NIT Thread

    Good for them. Love Freddie, but Fran has Iowa going in the right direction as well. Next year, both teams will be in the NCAAs.

    Giggles

    I always find it interesting that there are threads with hundreds of posts -- one just last week -- of people who don't listen to Matt or will never listen again. Yet, they always seem to know exactly what he's said. And one earlier today went on and on about how terrible Deace is. But...

    Culver could push for ISU to Big Ten

    One of Culver's biggest allies is the Union. Yet, for two sessions--with a legislature full of dems--he hasn't gotten any consequential pro-Union bill passed, despite all kinds of grandstanding and promises. To me, that tells me all I need to know about how much power he wields. The only...

    Vet advice

    Hang in there. I lost my Golden to lymphoma several years ago. I spent an ungodly amount of money on treatment keeping him happy and active for a full year after he was diagnosed. But I wouldn't have had it any other way. He got me through a crappy divorce and made some dark days much more...

    McCaffrey gets 6 years, $1.1 million per year

    I think Bobby Hansen was on the radio and said the reached out to some of the big name guys and they were asking for Kirk Ferentz type money. Everyone knows that at Iowa, only one guy makes Kirk Ferentz-type money. Justifiably so, I might add.

    Some new names rumored

    In all due respect to Jon, I don't think he was ever saying that Iowa had a great or even good shot at Pearl. His list of top 5 guys was a "wish list." It wasn't a "here's the 5 Iowa will choose from and then let the other 4 down easy" list. I love cycling. On my wish list is a $10,000...

    Directv Users- Versus will be back on air

    Good news! As a hard-core cycling fan, I'm a happy guy. Bring on the Classics, bring on le Tour. I had a suspicion this was in the works -- a few days ago Phil Liggett tweeted that they reached a decision and then quickly took it back. I think he realized he had prematurely thrown "a cat...

    If that was an email from Barta

    All about point of view. If Barta sent that e-mail, about 70% on here (or whatever percent is supporting JP) would be slamming the e-mail and talking about "typical EIU arrogance."

    BikeWorld Warehouse Sale

    Get there as early as possible. It's a madhouse. There might be some good deals on the road bikes, but it all depends on what they had left over from 2009, sizes of those bikes, etc. I went last year hoping to get a new bike (a specific Trek I was looking at, hoping to spend around 2K) but...

    Seantrell Henderson #1 recruit

    Actually, I heard Ferentz cancelled the in-home visit. Papa Henderson's involvement apparently rubbed some the wrong way. And that's an understatement.

    Andre Dawson commits to....

    Rarely do I "LOL" as they say on the interwebz, but I did with this one. Solid work.

    New Stupid Shirt Idea!

    So what was the best way to answer it? It was a stupid question. Period. I still have no idea what that guy was getting at.

    Hawkeye Fans at the Orange Bowl

    The only reason anyone here would value a USC fan's opinion of Iowa is because it might be negative about Iowa. Seriously, from my experience, most USC fan's opinions of other fans is as useful as a condom in a nunnery. They're DBs.

    KCCI News

    And now the real job begins -- keeping everyone in the fold. January has to be a nervous time for all college football coaches.

    HA! How pathetic!

    Can you get those people to confirm that you were actually watching the Insight Bowl and not a replay of Iowa v. OSU or NW? Be happy -- it's a new year and ISU just won a bowl game! :yes:
