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

    Thank you for the gentle lesson. Be that as it may, it’s only been in the last 10-15 years that wider variety of court colorings have come into popular use.

    If Tavion Banks returns in 2026-27, we would have 0 Open Roster Spots (14 players are officially signed)

    Thanks. For the fellow memory-challenged, here’s a little more info on Williamson: https://www.hawkcentral.com/story/sports/college/iowa/basketball-men/2025/05/29/iowa-basketball-ashton-williamson-no-longer-joining-hawkeyes-roster/83920640007/ Edit: Looks like my link might be paywalled for...

    Can someone remind me of who we are talking about here?

    Major Dirt coming out on Fran & Margaret (who was heckling from the crowd) related to a Coaches vs Cancer event

    I’ll do you one better: I can almost guarantee that Beth went into the MBB hiring process with the specific aim of hiring a coach who was committed to building relationships with fans, media, etc — not tearing them down. I would be shocked if Beth and Ben didn’t have very specific conversations...

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

    I think the key is in creating enough contrast between the main, “natural,” color of the court, which tends to be kind of yellowish, and the painted lanes/sidelines, if they are gold. The Warriors do a pretty good job with this by keeping the main color of their court a fairly light shade...

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

    It seems like a really good opportunity to change things up a bit, as long as they don’t go crazy. I have always felt like the black court was an improvement over the old gold/yellow, mainly because with the old court, there wasn’t enough contrast between the color/stain of the wood and the...

    QB is NOT a Transfer Portal Priority, per KF on Dec 18. Jeremy Hecklinski appears to have passed Hank Brown on the Depth Chart.

    Agree on Hawkeye fans needing to look past one errant pass when evaluating our quarterbacks. I am reminded of another quarterback competition, back in 1987, when Iowa entered the season with Dan McGwire, Tom Poholsky, and Chuck Hartlieb all competing for the job. In the season opener, in the...

    Ralph Miller, Lute Olson and Tom Davis. What interesting stat do they have in common.

    Three people who have never been in my kitchen.

    HS recruits and portal transfers be like:

    Arkansas (where I live) recently approved a law to make it legal for kids who have committed to an in-state school to accept NIL payments while they are still in high school. Within the past week, I have heard an Arkansas high school coach advising players to give a verbal commitment to the...

    I don’t think that would happen. If Peyton was dropped from the roster, he’d have to end all team activities. The NCAA isn’t going to let teams skirt the 15-player roster limit by making guys “managers” for a year or two. And we all know the extra scrutiny the NCAA has for the University of...

    Bennett Stirtz a projected Lottery Pick at #10

    We will have to see how things go at the combine, but it wouldn’t shock me to see Bennett drop into the second round. I’m just not sure he fits the eyeball test that a lot of teams are looking for.

    *****2026-27 Transfer Portal News*****

    I haven't followed your overall postings enough to draw any conclusions about how fair or unfair you have been in your assessment of Jan Jenson, but I think what’s riled people up is that you’ve done what many habitual critics do -- take a single comment or moment from Jan and elevate it into a...
