    OT- WBB Since we have so many Iowa loons on here

    Difference between 28.5 and 29.5 is there. But mathematically it’s isn’t a ginormous difference. Adjustment for sure, but angle of decent, that 1” on 18” rim isn’t enormous. Ppl just learn the shot angle that works best. Women could learn to shoot men balls like they do female balls. And all...

    Iowa makes me sick…. HOW…

    As an Iowa fan… I’m not sure if original poster is talking strictly D or on entire team. Defense, Dejean is a lock. Higgins, Jackson if they test above average should. Noah Shannon, Logan Lee are long shots. Priority UDFA more than likely. Offense, Lachey and All are locks if they declare...

    Skers Now 2.5 point Favorites on Black Friday

    Very well could be correct. That’s my personal view. But as I stated, I live in MN, So the Gopher/IA hate is constant. I border WI, the BTW has come down between us a lot over the past 5-8 years. Maybe Iowa fans in western Iowa hate Nebraska much greater than I. None the less, I think Rhule...

    Skers Now 2.5 point Favorites on Black Friday

    Why would Iowa unload everything? What’s in it for them? Ppl like Logan Jones, tried going the last two weeks. Has made it 3 total series. Players like that I imagine will rest. (Obviously could be wrong) Players and coaches will want to win. They will be motivated. If one team was gonna throw...

    Skers Now 2.5 point Favorites on Black Friday

    As an Iowa fan for me personally. #1 Wisconsin. #2 minnesota #3 Nebraska #4 Iowa state. 2,3,4 can flip depending on quality of team at the time. But Wisconsin has been #1 for a long long time. Personally living in MN, likely leans gophers heavier than others. But to be honest Nebraska comes...

    Skers Now 2.5 point Favorites on Black Friday

    Iowa coaches and players would love to win this game, and they will try their best within reason. Iowa won’t make the CFP, Iowa won’t make the rose bowl. It’s likely severely ding’d up players will get the week off. And the vanilla scheme will be even for vanilla this week. Any plays they have...

    We're Begging to Be Iowa?

    I think the point the poster was making, if Petras tore his Labrum he clearly wasn’t faking an injury to protect BF, as you have stated. CJD is Cooper Dejean, he just flipped the J and D. He got knocked out first possession and True Freshman got absolutely smoked by Palmer at least twice...

    Iowa

    If I had to guess, 3-5 years. The bigger problem for Iowa IMO is it sounds like once KF is done Phil Parker is done as well. So when change happens it could be massive.

    Iowa

    I am a Iowa fan. Did injuries alter the game? Absolutely, is that a part of football? Absolutely. Nebraska won plain and simple. Iowa has a great program going for them. Albeit not sexy. Take low level recruits and get them to the league. It’s the same recipe Nebraska hung their hat on for...

    Could Angel Reese be a bigger trash ball?

    I think the whole thing is over blown. Saying that, I also believe if Reese does the finger thing as she walks by Clark, then proceeds to play to the crowd and celebrate with teammates it’s not even a discussion. Reese followed for 10 seconds, and then demanded respect in post game conference...

    Caitlin Clark

    As a Hawk fan I’m elated obviously. The game went how I expected. The rebounding of SC was unreal. The two things that tipped the scales was early fouls on Boston not allowing her to get into a rhythm. Clark ability to finish inside. I figured the perimeter D would be tougher and Bigs at Rim...

    Caitlin Clark

    As a Hawk fan, South Carolina is a terrible matchup for Iowa. SC should win by 15-20. Iowa struggles against any quality post, and rebounding. Two things SC has in spades. SC has very good perimeter defenders. To make Clark work for everything. Maryland matched up better than Iowa.

    North Dakota 22.5 underdog

    As a Hawk fan absolutely… I will be way more Shocked if we win by 16. Than if we were to lose. SD St is no joke. Our offense was pitiful before. Now starting 4 SO offensive lineman. 2 So Rb. WR core down to a limited Keegan Johnson, Arland Bruce and…? Oh yea Spencer Petras is still the QB. The...

    Benning Says Nebraska Needs To Accept They Are A Developmental Program

    I think people are losing sight at the fact that he is right. If you look at Nebraska,Wisconsin,Iowa, Michigan, Michigan St., Penn State’s last 7 recruiting rankings and win% against each other over last 7 years a picture is painted. Iowa(36), Wisconsin (32), Michigan State (30) (is average...

    Next Head Coach

    Not sexy, but I would take a long look at Chris Klieman. Won on the lower level, has Kansas State going in the right direction. I like the offensive system he runs, and will bring some toughness to the trenches, and defense.
