    For Fun…

    Since this is just for fun, I'm going with 6-0 you sandy beaches!!

    Exhibition games rule change

    You're gonna find out a lot more about what you need to work on to make the best of the season vs those types than the Marathon Oil's of the world. What's better? Beating a tiny D2 Iowa school by 50+ in a scrimmage and then losing to a really good team by 25+ when the games count - or losing...

    4-star PG includes Iowa in final schools

    What a feeling knowing that being on these types of kids' lists isn't anything other than a nice 'pipe dream' to imagine them coming to Iowa anymore. "Future's so bright, I gotta wear shades."

    Do we now have the size (and pieces) to reach the Final Four?

    I could end up being dead wrong, but I think the loss of BS is being way overblown by both the national pundits and some Iowa fans. Ben McCollum was putting up an absurd winning % just as much without Bennett Stirtz on his rosters as he was with him as the PG. The experience will be missed...

    Exhibition games rule change

    Since these are just basically scrimmages, play the best of the best. See where you're at, heading into the season. Duke, Arizona, Kansas (for a 'regional matchup'), UConn, etc.

    Too many letters, just stick close to her real name and go with Shehottie.

    What was your favorite game of Iowa’s run to the Elite 8?

    This is a tough one for me. Gotta give the UF game the slight nod on this one. Beating the Bugeaters in the Sweet16 will never not be a highlight, in any season or situation. But beating a 1 - the previous national champ, to boot - as a 9 to reach the second weekend for the first time in 27...

    Good News for Josh Dix

    OT - Maybe they just needed a new waterboy, but what are the Suns thinking? They signed Sam Hoiberg to a UFA deal. Not sure where you find PT for a midget sorta-PG in the NBA.

    What was your favorite game of Iowa’s run to the Elite 8?

    Same as Duke's order of favorite games from the '26 NCAAT. Although I disagree somewhat with HAWKNESS. It was great reaching the Sweet16 again for the first time in 27 years, and watching Iowa playing an extra NCAAT game was awesome ... but it would have bummed me out for a while if they had...

    Ben improving the schedule

    No. I don't think the Hawks are allowed to play in a T'giving tourney this season - that or couldn't find a place to slot in somewhere - thus the need/reason for the 3 neutral site games against major conference opponents.

    Stirtz starting five prediction

    Please God no. Last thing the program/UI sports needs is more potential problems with nepotism complaints and disparagement. Still way too soon.

    Former Iowa guard transfer destination.

    Call me a 'get off my lawn' guy, but I am so sick of seeing "... his agent tells/says ..." in these types of news bits. Collegiate athletes needing agents, very much mostly due to just NIL. smdh

    Iowa purchases basketball court used for 2026 NCAA Houston Regional Elite Eight

    As long as it doesn't give me migraines or cause seizures to look at, I don't really care what the floor - new or same - will look like. Wins & losses trumps all of that fluff.

    RIP to a Message Board Great

    That guy always went to the mat for his Moline boys. So long, IllQChawk. RIP. Shame you're gone, as we were finally staring to see things on a shared level with the new coach & system.

    "With NIL we [Kentucky] can't cheat like we used to."

    Can we talk about the most important part of that clip? That being Michelle Beadle.
