Without specifically mentioning the notoriously quiet Iowa fans at Iowa men's games, after the Bucknell game in Des Moines Coach McCollum offered up this gem: "We need to get those same people to Carver."

I tuned into the game off and on, not realizing it was in Des Moines. Then with just a few minutes remaining, I heard loud "Let's Go HAWKS" crowd chants -- when Iowa was up by 50 pts! I was like, WHAT? What's going on to make this game special and the crowd so enthusiastic? Then I realized...

When I was 18 in I entered volunteer service and lived in Jackson, MS for a year. 1976. Got involved with a lot of the old civil rights network folks, who were still around. At that time I had multiple friends get hauled down to the police depts in small towns for simply walking down the...

If she doesn't stick around, it's not the end of the world for the Hawks, but it's a loss. After one of the games, I noted she's one of the few players -- other than Chit Chat the ONLY player, really -- on Iowa's team that can 'get her own shot' -- meaning when the offense breaks down and the...

Watch this year's Vandy-Tennessee game. He's good.

Iowa tried to front Crooks numerous times -- most of the time the Clones were successful throwing it over the top to her, a couple times it resulted in a turnover. The only way Crooks will be stopped from scoring is when she encounters a post player significantly taller than her, 6'7 or 6'8"...

Just what the Hawks need prior to the bowl game -- a pissed off Heisman contender wanting to prove every voter in the country made a mistake when he plays vs Iowa. We don't need that. I still have nightmares of Iowa's first defensive play vs McCaffery at the Rose Bowl...

...about Chit Chat's concussion and whiplash situation, following the Lindenwood game. It sounds like at some point during the game Chit Chat got knocked and began to feel oddly out-of-sorts, and came out of the game. She never returned out of 'caution'. I thought Jensen's comments afterward...

It's so stupid that whenever an Iowa team loses, a majority of people blame it on the refs -- as tho the Hawks are better than any team they play and the only way can lose is if they get screwed by the refs. Frankly, I saw more holding and grabbing by Iowa's guards during the 1st half of the...

The refs didn't cost Iowa this game. In fact, by letting both teams play through obvious fouls in the 1st half that actually favored Iowa because ISU is a quicker team that drives more to the basket. In the 2nd half the refs called a much tighter game, which favored ISU -- but only because ISU...

It's not a crazy idea. But it's a crazy idea in the eyes of KF. From his lense, change=increased odds for mistakes or errors.

I wouldn't even want Dylan at this point. He naively saw himself as a 5-star gunslinger who could single-handedly revive an entire dormant football program like Nebraska's. Hasn't quite worked out the way he envisioned, and in the meantime he's picked up some really bad habits when it comes to...

Not so sure about that. Moore was on his way out of Ann Arbor one way or another -- his record of 18-8 as HC over the past 2 seasons doesn't cut it at Michigan. There's more pressure to win at Michigan than Penn St., PLUS you have to play Ohio St. every season. If Campbell goes 18-8 over his...

With our OLine and DLine pretty much set last season, it was easy to put a ton of NIL $$ into the QB position. Very different situation in '26. The OLine will have 2 returning starters, so the Hawks will probably be in the market for at least 1 proven P5 Olineman. Problem is, we've added a...

Far too much common sense in this post. Eliminate 1 or both of the Byes each team gets, and make the season more condensed. Unfortunately, the conferences don't want to give up their 'championship' game because of the $$.

Damn. I liked watching Patterson A LOT. North-south runner, with some power. Some games ya just gotta have that type of RB...after starting Washington in the Iowa St. game (BTW, what the F*** were Iowa coaches thinking??) he came in and gave the Hawks a real jolt of offense. Did the same in...

Think UIowa's Director of Player Personnel has been busy the past couple days? Frankly, there's not that much to poach -- especially from their #48th ranked recruiting class. The day Campbell was hired I spent 1/2 hour on the main Penn St. blog -- it's amazing how happy they were to get him...

With all due respect to the poster, Pollard is doing something right: the men's bball team is a Top 10 team and just punked the #1 team by 25 pts on their home court; the women's bball team is a Top 10 team. Their wrestling team is Top 5 in the nation. The football team was at one time...

Yeah, it's gotta feel great to uproot your wife and kids to come to a place where on Dec. 6 there's 17 inches of snow on the ground, it was -15 a couple days before, and oh yeah, the team is so excited about you as their new coach that they want to welcome you by saying they have no interest in...

People don't think this team is like Fran's teams, but oddly enough, just like Fran's teams this team will go only as far as their 3pt shooting will take them. This team is better defensively than Fran's teams, but without a rim protector or any type of enforcer inside, they certainly are not...
