    Don't blame Goetz

    This is an issue of NIL dollars, not potential salary. The NIL funds can't (yet) come directly from the athletic department.

    Iowa Softball winning streak

    While you are of course correct, I'd still be surprised if it happens right now. This is the issue that the athletic department will continue to face with Gary in charge. Can he effectively do his job or is he handcuffed by perception?

    Iowa Softball winning streak

    There is a better chance of snow in July in Ottumwa than a female coach being terminated at the University of Iowa right now.

    Carver Hawkeye Arena

    I'm guessing the hospital has proposed this. When I went to the U of I we partied in the east parking before and after (and during) games. Now that space is hospital.

    Carver Hawkeye Arena

    I was thinking more in terms of suites and a mid court score board than total seating. Not to mention that the design means the better your seat, the longer it takes to get to amenities.

    Carver Hawkeye Arena

    During today's recognition of Roy Marble there was mention of the "next" renovation to the arena. I'm curious about everyone's thoughts: Is it time to not renovate but rather replace CHA? Preferably with an above ground facility that is more with the times? Don't get me wrong, I love Carver, but...

    Sally Mason Retiring

    Yes, presser- at noon. No word yet on what The U of I plans to charge for access to it. I am guessing this is all because of the strongly worded email I sent to her office yesterday about the University's hubris, which also was why they changed their minds and ran the football presser for...

    Brandon Wegher All Star Game

    Glad Brandon's life is back on the right path, but had he stayed at Iowa, his eligibility would have been used up before this year.

    SO PROUD OF THIS TEAM

    I used to feel like Iowa was getting the shaft starting on the road for conference play far more often than at home, but ask yourself this: Would you rather have had the squad play at Ohio State in a month, when the students are back in the building and the members of the pep band aren't all at...

    So Marty Tirrell just posted on twitter...

    Technically Marty Tirrell started this thread, and as I pointed out, tongue firmly planted in cheek, "of course he's never been wrong before..." Dude's a click hack, trying to buy ears to his station. Heck, the College Football Talk twitter feed from NBC Sports even wrote a brief article...

    CJ Beathard will start Taxslayer Bowl

    Applying the word "news" to a Tirrell tweet is an inappropriate use of the word "news". Not saying he's wrong, just saying his track record is not good.

    That Sunshine gets the start in the bowl game, Rudock to see "some" action. Of course Marty's never been wrong before.....

    Beneventi Not A Hawk

    Not sure how you could write this unless your blind hatred for the current coaching staff is clouding your input. The kid has been given months now to find the right school. Not hours days or weeks. Months. The message was delivered in person. Not text, phone, or Instagram. It's going to work...

    can kinnick grow again?

    Yes, you are correct. They had a ton of space from the bench area to the stands before the renovation. Also the south stands had been essentially scaffolding and temporary and taken down each winter. They picked up seats by building a permanent south stands area.

    RS Frosh Paul Brown Leaving

    Retweeted by Moorehouse. Looks like he wants to get back to playing QB. Listed at 5'10", 200#, and a DB on the current roster. Hope it works out for the kid.
