    Jaidyn Coon Storm Lake

    I got a lot of mileage from this one liner that I first read here when McCaffrey started having success around the same time as Hoiberg, and UNI was still good... Iowa gets the guys Michigan State didn't want, UNI gets the guys Iowa didn't want, and Iowa State gets the guys no one wants.

    Kirk Press Conference - Billy VandeMerkt to be new QB Coach

    Something worth noting, he worked for Lester at Western Michigan. That section of his bio is poorly written and somewhat vague on his position as it is kind of a run on sentence combining multiple schools he worked at,, but the way I read it is he was Lester's QB coach.

    Are you pulling for an all Big Ten Final Game?

    Absolutely not. Michigan I could handle, F Illinois and UConn, and I almost want Arizona to win just to spite the fact that it's another team winning a championship that was involved in the FBI corruption scandal not long ago that turned out to have zero repercussions.

    Win or lose tonight I am so damn proud of this team

    Totally. They made the tournament really fun for the first time of my adult life. Only once have I been old enough to remember an Iowa team making it to the second weekend of the tournament. And they're this close to making the THIRD and FINAL weekend when they were tripping over their feet...

    Reporters asked & Ben McCollum answered. Despite the rumors, he's not going anywhere

    I concur. I think he truly does believe he can win anywhere. And he's home doing the job he always wanted. To a guy like that he doesn't look at the prestige and resources of another job as a necessity to succeed. I think if he continues to be successful the risk of losing him would be to...

    Armstrong - Horton - Marble

    So much cool stuff in this thread. I miss that court. I miss those uniforms. I miss those radio station posters. If I had a choice the gold court and parquet floor would be back tomorrow. Remember that was an Alford thing anyways...

    Does this help future recruiting?

    Id say it actually helps more because of NIL. Ya, top players cost, but those transfers are just like the high school recruits you're not getting if you're not high profile. Iowa already doesn't get that. However there are for more affordable players that more schools of our caliber are all...

    Refs are supposed to check for the correct number of players on court. View AI search; did they screw up the do-over?

    I think people are using the lack of a rule as a reason to make their own interpretation. IF they require 5 to play, then what happens when there is only 4? We have a delay of game rule when a player obstructs the other team from getting the ball after a basket to inbound it. If the referees...

    Refs are supposed to check for the correct number of players on court. View AI search; did they screw up the do-over?

    You lost me at A.I. I've found when you ask these types of questions, it data mines from so many inaccurate sources and interjects peoples opinions into that 'overview'. It might be drawing info from the manual from the Fargo North Dakota youth league. Specific example, the business manager...

    What was your favorite high school job?

    Same here. Knowing what I know now I would have considered going the PGA route. The whole weekends and holidays thing made me never consider that, but now that I'm in my 40s and the whole family plays golf, having winters off and all the time to go to the kids tournaments and meets doesn't...

    What was your favorite high school job?

    I'll second the OP and say golf course. I worked in the shop though. Still the favorite job I ever had, it just happened to be when I was in high school. Can't make a career out of it but if money didn't matter but I still had to go to work, I'd be right back there. Once our club opens up...

    Mast when he realized he was supposed to be in the Game…

    Lol, that prompted me to go check on the husker board. My favorite comment in their main thread about that was 'it would have been pretty badass if it would.have worked'. Lol. By Hawkink.c.1. Who I don't remember being on of ours, that person post here?

    so it looks like illinois

    Any idea if this is early or late game Saturday? Haven't seen anything yet. Is this a scheduling decision and not pre determined, or have i just not found it?

    Iowa was called for ONE foul the entire second half

    I was saying at around the 3 minute mark Iowa needed to aggressively throw themselves at the ball playing kamikaze defense. They had so many to give and if it came down to needing to foul to get Nebraska to hopefully miss some front ends they needed to get closer to the bonus. And going all out...
