    ***RB Xavier Williams commits to Iowa***

    Seems like a lot of excitement for a guy with MAC offers. Good luck to this young man. Go Hawks.

    What's wrong with this Louisville player's statement . . .

    Almost worked for Colorado. We couldn't handle their size. 19 offensive rebounds. Yikes. Got to clean things up.šŸ˜€

    If FAU can make F4....

    one would think by just dumb luck our Hawkeyes could scratch out a Sweet 16. Oh well, maybe someday. Go Owls, Go Hawks.

    Fran Does NOT Need to Go

    Making the NCAA tournament is just a step above making a bowl game. Is that the bar at Iowa?

    ISU men's basketball...

    Not sure about the TJ Otz hype train as far as in-game coaching. But his team is fast, physical, tough, athletic, play extremely hard and have defenders at the post. Clones lost their point guard to injury before season. Lipsey (sp?) adequate for a frosh. Just missing a little offense but...

    Part 2 of "Program needs a new direction"

    Well, I guess Frank told us. Mediocrity it is! Just be happy with what we have! Fans are not good fans because they want a little more! How dare we question a program/coach that after 13 years, can't take that next step. Just by dumb luck Iowa should be able to string together back to back...

    Iabcuda, thanks for admitting to being an apologist. You make a good point as well.

    Good points....just wishful thinking here. Ya, Joe T was odd man out????

    Part 2 of "Program needs a new direction"

    Ghost town here. Hate this is where we're at as a program. Maybe we luck out like Iowa State did several years ago with McDermott. Things weren't going so well up there, McDermott takes the Creighton job and ISU is bailed out from firing him... at least that's the way I remember it. Maybe...

    Part 2 of "Program needs a new direction"

    Let's hear from the Fran apologists. I'll start the microwave for a fresh bag of popcorn.

    Program needs a new direction

    I don't have any problem with Fran and T's....if it were me, I'm sure I'd get T'd up as well. The officiating is not good. Tex with good points about Fran not being appealing for other jobs.

    Fran Does NOT Need to Go

    No one disputes that he cares or if he is a good person or stands for his players. Fans expect a little more results on the court. And if you think Iowa is currently a top 20-30 program, please stop posting or walk back that statement.

    Program needs a new direction

    Let me first say that I do like Fran. I like his passion, energy and his commitment to his players. However, his lack of attention to detail on the defensive end of the floor has caused his team dozens of wins over his tenure at Iowa. Time and time again we see the same lackluster defense...

    Brian DONE...

    with all of the negative talk and ready to lead this team back to B10 title game in Indy. Go Hawks!

    1983 Gator Bowl...

    I don't think Florida had "arrived" nationally as a powerhouse at that point. Charlie Pell was their HC at the time. I believe they got hit with probation and that cost Charlie his job. Could be wrong on that.
