    How to handle a Fender Bender

    Since insurance follows the vehicle in Iowa, it will be up to the drivers mother what she wants to do. As an insurance adjuster myself, I wouldn't worry about filing a claim right away. Technically, you are required to report it per your policy, but if it was minor, I would just wait for her...

    Hail

    you are correct. usually 1.75 hail or golf ball sized will start to do the damage. Smaller hail stones will do damage as well if there are the strong winds to go with.

    Doug to Creighton?

    Doug could be released to play for Mac at Creighton, but I am fairly certain that the MVC transfer rule on inter-conference transfers does not allow for them to accept a scholarship. So GMac would be footing the bill....which I'm sure he could shake the seat cushions and cover.

    Coaching spot

    Nick Nurse is a possibility from what I have heard

    McDermott alters staff

    I would definitely agree that Mac has altered his staff. If he just wanted to fill the open position, he would promote Eric Crawford into this role and leave the other assistants as is. The Direction of Ops job can be viewed in a different light depending on the situation. When Coach Smith...

    New Coach for MBB - A THOUGHT with rules

    Lon Krueger - wins everywhere he goes Chris Collins - longtime Duke assistant, strong Chicago ties, strong NBA ties Bruce Pearl - longshot but probably woudn't mind sticking it to Iowa yr in/yr out Ben Braun - former Cal coach Billy G - proven winner, reputation may keep him out for awhile...

    GMac's explosion at the game today

    much agreed Yaman. We sit fairly close to the bench and I heard the guy behind us say the "explosion" during that timeout looked and seemed choreographed to him.

    GMac's explosion at the game today

    Mr. funny man Jack & Hilton. While the "delivery" may have been a bit farfetched in nature, the idea that Mac has to show some emotion and get his guys to WANT to play for him is spot on. Him showing any emotion and enthusiasm for his players is better than the status quo of his adjusting his...

    Experiment for today's game

    I know the coaches stay away from the internet fodder, but I also know for a fact that their wives/families pay attention to these boards. So, please could someone get a message to Coach Mac in the next couple hours? Coach could you please give these kids a reason to WANT to play for U! Show...

    Rick Hartzell

    While I cringe at the sight of Hightower, Hartzell usually will do some good for the Cyclones. He made 3 big decisions that all helped us out....1)with time expiring and the ball tied up, he gave DG a timeout in front of our bench that he never called, and Hartzell was 50ft away on the opposite...

    Both Iowa and Iowa St bowl game not televise any where on Mediacom

    Or just avoid the whole Mediacom blackout all together. I have Mediacom, went to BestBuy today and purchased a "new school" antenna that will bring in all of the local channels in HD for FREE. I just hooked it up last night on a TV we didn't have hooked up to the digital box and was able to...

    Did not see Antwan Oliver on bench today

    Oliver was allowed to go home early for the holidays as he is a redshirt. Bubu obviously didn't have far to go.

    Going forward from UNI

    There is a lot of talk about us finding our "identity" but first, GMac must figure out his identity. He has to figure out if he is "ALL-IN" with the running game, or a half court offense, and a defensive philosophy. Once he can settle on the scheme, our guys can take on this identity with some...

    Future Basketball Recruit

    Jok was at the game last night sitting in that oh how familiar seat that Harrison occupied for the last two years.

    Want McDermott gone...?

    While I agree the offense is painful to watch. It is much to do about the defense that causes most of the pain. We can't stop anyone in terms of dribble penetration and instead of closing out to contest shots, we close out to not get beaten off the dribble. The result has been people having...

    Wesley, Oh Wesley.....

    While no one is happy or accepting of last night's loss, let us not forget what happened in the offseason. Mac, his entire staff, the team, and every Cyclone fan was counting on Wesley Johnson to be the centerpiece of this team. The recruiting was considering WJ returns, the gameplan was...

    UNI ISU basketball

    Just saw in today's USA Today that UNI is a 5pt favorite. This should be a great day to take the Cyclones! After watching UNI last week a couple times here are some observations: 1. Moran is a Benny Jacobson clone that can get hot and carry them. That being said we should be able to contain...

    Wes Eikmeier= Stephen Curry lite?

    Wes has played well in his first two games and great to see that he always thinks the next one is going in, no matter what! I think his range should help him overcome the lack of strength once Big 12 play starts As for HB, hope his attire is no indication of where he is going....Carolina blue...
