"One of the things Walter learned that led to his longevity was to avoid the hard hits. He knew when to duck down and not try to pile drive the defenders coming up to hit him." Yep, and he also never stayed on the ground very long...to eliminate the 'accidental' ankle, foot, and knee twisting...

Heck, I'd rank Sullivan #9 on that list. What a top-heavy group...not much to cheer about after #8, and frankly, only the Top 4 could really be called exceptional. Agreed, Stanzi is a little higher on that list than I'd have him.

Man, seeing Nick Bell running at the 4:25 mark warmed my cockles!

I have to admit, Coach Cig jumped up my ladder quite a bit with his response to a typical softball question lobbed by BTen network hosts during BTen media days. When asked "At this point in your coaching career, what brings you the most satisfaction?" Expecting a predictable "Seeing youngsters...

Bret Bielema would be my first choice. The Washington coach a close 2nd -- he seems like a cool dude. Couldn't pay me to hang with Fleck.

Wow. Guys other than the point guard playing defense. Amazing.

TT said the biggest factor for him -- other than the coaches -- was he was told Iowa needed him to play right away...something the Purdue's and Tennessee's of the world probably couldn't commit to. Coach M has been around long enough to know you don't tell somebody they're going to get playing...

"Paterno debacle"? Many talking heads were predicting the sanctions against PSU at that time would set back their football program for a decade. Any clear-headed view knew that was not the case, and as I predicted their program suffered barely a bump in the road. Most recruits today wouldn't...

Perhaps. But in addition to shopping around for more $$ -- and more GUARANTEED $$ -- why wouldn't athletes just shop around for contracts with the fewest limits and most favorable terms?

Sounds like the Huskers are in the mix for Bo. After Penn St. and Okie St, could Nebraska displace Iowa as the 3rd best program in the country? They just finished 2nd at the NCAA this year, recruited A.J. Ferrari...

Ouch. That hurts bigtime.

This.

Certainly the 'defense' part of that is no surprise.

That album had amazing technical production....just kicked ass on my large Advent speakers (with liquid-cooled tweeters) in '77. To this day, the best speakers I ever owned.

These type of discussions always remind me of being back in the wrestling room at West Waterloo High back in the mid-'70s with Bob Siddens -- one of the best h.s. coaches in Iowa's history. The 1960s and '70s were a time of great cultural change, yet he remained very 'old school' -- but not in...

Kallakmanis Top 5 in the BTen? I don't think so.

As a fan, it will be awesome to have that early game in the evening. Also relieved that the ISU game is at 11:00 and not a night game. Iowa HAS won at night in Jack Trice, but it won't be nearly the zoo it could be at 11 in the morning.

Recently visited the Bay Area and took my son and daughter-in-law out to a hip, happenin' place known for great cocktails in downtown Berkeley for dinner on a Friday night. Place was hoppin'. Total tab for 5 drinks and multiple shared courses was $181, the most I've ever paid for dinner out...

The last time I ate at Red Lobster it was nasty...not at all surprised they're toast. Appleby's used to be a hoppin' place, but the last time I went there it was like a ghost town and the scene was so weird we just turned around and walked out...they're toast too. Somehow, Olive Garden has...

No need to buy new when looking for a pickup. They're built to last years and take a fair amount of punishment. I bought a 5 yr old 2007 GMC Sierra 1500 in 2012 for about $23,000. I live in the city and am a relatively light user, but that truck is now 18 years old and I've done nothing but...
