    Expectations Tiers for 2026

    My point was to refute the claim that when Iowa players say the team goal is to win a NC they don’t really believe it’s possible. Indiana was preseason ranked #20 and #19 by the AP and Coaches poll prior to last season’s NC - about where Iowa is being ranked this Summer (#19 ESPN, # 20 CFN, #...

    Best Winning %s in the BCS/CFP Era

    I used to be mildly impressed with this statistic then I remember the embarrassing arse whippings delivered in the Big Ten Championship games. My mind has cruelly lumped the 2016 Rose Bowl shellacking from Christian McCaffery and Stanford in with that mental file. It’s more impressive to...

    Expectations Tiers for 2026

    I disagree. I don’t believe the Hawk players who will declare a NC as the team goal this season will be doing so, as you stated, knowing there is zero chance that it is possible. IMO Indiana proved long shots can win a championship.

    Expectations Tiers for 2026

    You mentioned fans, what about the Iowa football players? The tone for expectations are also set by the Iowa team. The players have stated that a national championship is the ultimate team goal - they said that publicly last year and the years before; they will say it again before this...

    ***CC22 and the Fever mega thread***

    You originally claimed that the Liberty ALWAYS expose the Fever. That claim is indisputably false. I see you have now amended to claim domination “on average”. I accept your concession.

    ***CC22 and the Fever mega thread***

    What argument? You posted this: “Fever always get exposed by the Liberty”. Always The Fever beat the Liberty by 20 points tonight The Fever do not always get exposed by the Liberty. That claim is demonstrably false. What argument do you think you’re winning? What, are you an idiot?

    Clark clutch, record-setting night leads Fever win

    Some people wonder who Clark is talking about when she makes it a point to say that there are a lot of people out there who think they know a lot about her and Coach White but “they are just blatantly wrong” Ladies and Gentlemen, I present Duke Slater.

    ***CC22 and the Fever mega thread***

    Reese had 23 & 13 Monday vs. the Sparks and made a 3PT FG with the game tied 87-87 to break open a close game. I’m sure frantheman’s head exploded.

    ***CC22 and the Fever mega thread***

    It’s not easy carrying around a 210 pound barnacle almost every day …. and all that trademark McCaffery whining and complaining has rubbed off on CC in a bad way. Somebody do an intervention before she throws around a few sideline chairs.

    Adam Silver vs. Kathy Engelbert

    Bad enough that basketball fans (and, curiously, non bb fans) have pressed political viewpoints into the sport. Now you have idiot congressmen publicly interjecting demands on the league. Silver pretty much nailed it. Again, a weak Commissioner has made the circumstance worse.

    OT: Jamie Pollard retiring next year

    This is the hilarious coping mechanism pushed on bewildered Cyclone fans who join the Anxious Cyclone Fan support group.

    Adam Silver vs. Kathy Engelbert

    Never heard clark say that. Nothing she has stated about her experience comes close to describing “a nightmare”….. maybe you could post a quote.
