But assisted on 3 straight baskets in practice. I could probably do that for god's sake.
They are still making Walkmans. Not sure why, but I guess some people can’t or don’t want to put music on their phones. They’re all digital now, of course.
Wait till nobody cares who she is by this time next year.
Don't worry WHO and Murph will still be in love with her, central Iowa will still get plenty of coverage. Heck most of the time the don't even give NBA playoff scores. But I bet we get every Fever score for the season along with high lights.
She would absolutely never score against any NBA player... hell probably even 99% of college players
Because she's a huge star. It will be interesting to see how that stardom translates to the WNBA, which doesn't get a lot of attention.
That said, let's not get distracted here. This thread is devoted to the state-run media of the Iowa Hawkeyes.
Chad is a good representative of most tavern hoks I know. Hok sports is their universe, and it’s a small universe.
Funny thing with Taylor is that he was drafted WAY too early. I get that he is a really really good punter but he will have to do things differently in the NFL. He will need to speed up his release and NFL returners are going to catch the ball and not let it go over their head to be downed inside the 10. Calling my shot but he won't be nearly as impactful for a NFL team like he was at Iowa.
In the NFL every punter is an elite punter.
And having a long field is less of an encumbrance for NFL offenses. Even with good punts, the benefit for the defense will be less pronounced than at IA
WHO will probably have an alert every time she scores or has an assist.

No punter will ever be as effective as he was at Iowa.
Agreed. For the exact same reason no Iowa WR will be as effective compared to any other WR on any other college football team.
Agreed teams in the NFL are not going to allow him to roll to his right and wait a count or two before kicking the ball allowing his defenders to get down the field. Everything in the NFL is spend up, and he will have to adjust to getting it and kicking the ball. The Bears needed a punter, it was a good landing spot for him.
If you watched him when teams pressured him, he was not as good at pinning teams deep. I’m not talking about going for blocks, I’m talking when they would send 2-3 towards him and not allow him to catch and stand there for a second or two longer and then punt. A lot of his deep pins were from the opponent Not sending anyone and he could have the gunners get an extra second or two and the returner would just bail.
I already don’t give a f**k about her… wish everyone would just stop already !
