    Jamie Pollard has a new title: “Endowed Cyclone Director of Athletics.” Clown U is still facing a $147 Million budget deficit through 2031

    Regarding Clowntown This project has all the markings of a classic boondoggle. A hotel anchored to a college football stadium sounds appealing on paper, but the underlying economics just don’t support it. Outside of six or seven home Saturdays a year, demand will fall off a cliff. That’s not a...

    Jamie Pollard has a new title: “Endowed Cyclone Director of Athletics.” Clown U is still facing a $147 Million budget deficit through 2031

    This is really just how it works with mid-majors. You get a run, you enjoy it, and then gravity reasserts itself. I’ve always maintained that Clown U is, at its athletic soul, a mid-major program operating on a power conference budget or, more accurately, a mid-major budget while everyone...

    Jaidyn Coon Storm Lake

    Storm lake isn’t exactly synonymous with basketball lore. Does DeJean going to school there a long time ago somehow make that record more impressive?

    The Brands have silenced the haters

    I liked brands 10 years ago. The lunatic personality doesn’t work anymore. One thing i noticed this year was the chain and scrambling wrestling has advanced incredibly. Maybe I’m old but this was the best wrestling I’ve ever seen in the semis and finals. The Iowa guys seem to be plodding and...

    The Brands have silenced the haters

    Yes overly crediting the coaches is ridiculous. It’s not like these ready made wrestlers chose the school because of any coach.

    The Brands have silenced the haters

    They look even stupider because Jax is wearing orange and not a black singlet. The unstable psycho personality isn’t attractive to kids. Nobody wants to wrestle for an autistic hot head anymore.

    The Brands have silenced the haters

    Have you looked at the future? These two guys have failed miserably at recruiting. Our program has been driven off of a cliff. Look at how many duals we lost. What about next year looks promising? They need to go. Good lord.

    The Next Coach recaps Iowa-Minnesota

    My kiddo wrestled a youth dual against one of the askren dual teams a few years ago. I wish Incouks have said they beat them and my kiddo won his match. But not so. Maximus Magayna was in my kiddos team. It was a hodgepodge of kids thrown together at a tourney

    The Next Coach recaps Iowa-Minnesota

    The median 5 year survival rate for lung transplant is 50-60 %. Recruiting travel etc would certainly take its toll. Folks don’t understand that people who have had lung transplants need to coast the rest of their lives

    PREVIEW: Iowa hosts Minnesota for top-10 Friday night dual

    If they don’t get let go at seasons end then Beth doesn’t care about wrestling. I already think that anyway.

    LIVE look at the Clown U football program

    Cytown is a white elephant. The place will be a ghost town in the spring and summers. Hey honey let’s do a weekend in Ames this summer and stay a cytown far away from anything interesting

    Hawks land long snapper Matty McLaughlin

    Ah now lads, stop what ye’re at , Iowa’s gone and signed a long snapper named Matty McLaughlin, and I’m tellin’ ye that’s not a football player, that’s a fella who shows up early to weddings and fixes chairs without bein’ asked. Sure the position fits him like a wool sweater on a cold Dublin...
