    What Makes Saturdays in Iowa City So Magical?: Tell Your Favorite Game Day Memories

    Been apart of some crazy tailgates. Back in the college days we'd have huge tailgate parties where hilbillies from where I grew up would come. Once they smuggled a live goose into Slater and dropped it out a window many stories up. It flew off - one of the funniest things I've seen at a tailgate !

    Jeff Moe's Whistle Stop Inn Bar

    With him owning strip clubs in Indy I'm hoping the bartenders at Whistle Stop will look a little slutty. ;):ROFLMAO:

    Jeff Moe's Whistle Stop Inn Bar

    Going to Indianapolis next week. I heard Jeff Moe bought this bar near Lucas Oil. Have to make a point to stop in for 1. Anyone been there or know anything about it ?

    Dead as a doornail on here.

    As for it being quiet - I for 1 don't come on as often since they took away the OT board. I used to check daily the Hawkeye news in each category and then get some laughs at the OT board. Without the laughs I don't come in here daily anymore.

    Who excites you the most of the new players? Which of the returnees will have a breakout year?

    I think Sage and Koch will be the 2 leading scorers. If Banks is back then throw him in the top 3. Then compliment Thompson and McKeever and Howard. It will be the jobs of Combs and Coleman to get the ball to these guys while also being capable scorers themselves. Seems to be a team more...

    OT: Greg McDemott retiring after this season

    Coon is not a great shooter. 29% from 3 and only 64% free throws. Had a lot of dunks. Is uber athletic. Maybe Ben makes him a lockdown defender

    OT: Greg McDemott retiring after this season

    Ben called him right after Iowa beat Florida the other night. So he is trying hard. Question is will Iowa be able to pay him what Creighton is paying him ? Especially when priorities are point guard and a big man.

    OT: Greg McDemott retiring after this season

    I have a reliable source that said McCollum has already called Coon both last night and this morning.

    Jack McCaffery in the transfer portal

    The McCaffery family would kick him out of the family if he came to Iowa. I think the whole family is butt hurt over Fran being shown the door.

    RIP Ryan Driscoll

    I believe Driscoll had some drama in high school. Out 1 night he got into a fight and the guy jumped on the hood of his car. Ryan drove out onto the interstate with him on the hood and the guy flew off and died, I believe. The details could be off but something like that. Maybe someone else...

    Those who were there Sunday, what are your impressions? Will you be back?

    I was there. Fullest I've seen Carver in a while. It got loud and fans were on their feet a lot. Got off to such a bad start but fought back into it and had chances down the stretch. Need a couple more horses on the court. Illinois was huge and blocked a lot of our shots inside. Ben can coach...
