Is there a limit to the number of new threads that can be created?

Part of the problems with the fouls is lack of consistency in the way they are called from game to game. In the UConn game, the refs allowed a lot of rough play. The NW game, not as rough played was allowed, but the NW defense was still stifling at times and the play where Hannah got the...

Iowa was intentionally trying to force the ball inside, which seemed to work when Heiden was in the game, and not work so well when Heiden left due to foul trouble. Funny thing is it was assumed Iowa had a lot of depth in the post this year, but it really felt like Iowa could still use one...

Iowa this year was 4-4 in games that were close in the 4Q. Iowa managed to finish games strong against Rutgers, Penn St, Mich St and Vandy to pull out close wins. While strong starts kinda fizzled out in close losses against Iowa St, Indy, Oregon and USC. In the end Iowa's record of 9-4...

I guess it gives me hope that Deal can work past her struggles when you look at how much Ava Heiden struggled last year as a freshman but something clicked in February last year for Heiden and now she is an all Big Ten candidate. Of course Guyton also struggled last year as a freshman and...

I find it interesting how much playing time Levin is getting since Feurebach went out. In a trickle down effect, I just assumed Stremlow would Feurbach"s minutes and Deal would get Stremlow's minutes. But Deal did not play as many minutes against Penn St and Nebraska as I thought she...

Yes, the real key is finding a long snapper that doesn't hike the ball over the punter's head.

To follow LeVar Woods?

Yes, but now having the Pac-4 will probably expand the number of bowls in the next Big Ten contract. I would not mind if the next bowl contract for the Big Ten includes the Alamo Bowl and the Holiday Bowl. Of course if the CFP expands to 24 teams, you won't need as many bowls.

If Stuelke's free throws don't get better, she won't be playing at the end of games. Especially with the emergence of all the talented sophomres and freshmen on the team. You got Heiden and Hays who can play the 5. Houston can play the 4. Then you can play 3 guards or even 4 guards at...

So does this mean that Em-Rod is no longer "indefinitely suspended" due to violation of team rules?

There is a terrific podcast called "Sold a Story" that is a great summary of what was recently wrong nationwide with how grade school children were being taught to read. The podcast outlines a recent push to embrace the science of reading, which also has been a key to the Mississippi...

The interesting part is how well Fleck has done against Neb and Wisc while stinking against Iowa. If Fleck could have just figured out how to beat Iowa, he would have a couple of Big Ten West titles by now (and would probably be coaching at higher level school by now) The other interesting...

Yes, Conner is going to regret all this pettiness when Caitlin Clark becomes Iowa's head basketball coach one day.

https://247sports.com/college/iowa/article/iowa-football-2026-nfl-pro-bowl-george-kittle-cooper-dejean-tristan-wirfs-267724629/ Iowa is tied for 2nd among all schools with 5 players making this year's Pro Bowl. This is right behind the top school, Georgia, which had 6 schools.
