    What was learned from Penn State ....

    What was learned during IOVVA's victory over Penn State was more important than the win itself. McKenna Warnock continued her opportunistic play proving herself a more than adequate replacement for Monica Czinano during her ankle recovery: 16 points (2 of 3 from the arc), 7 rebounds. 3 assists...

    McKenna Warnock Freshman of the Week and Kathleen Doyle Honor Roll

    But for the performance of Warnock, the MSU's outcome may not have been as please as it was. OUTSTANDING IMPACT!

    A Definitive Explanation Required

    Thank so much for the breakdown. Very informative. Even so, from a consumer standpoint, the Big Ten should be controlling the rights to their teams' games. I do not beleive that I (as a subsciber to BTN Plus) should have to pay for streamed coverage that should be included in my subscription...

    A Definitive Explanation Required

    I too am an "official" old man and did listen to the games on WHO. In fact, the my first rememberance of Iowa Basketball was the 1969 team ("Six Pack" – John Johnson, Chad Calabria, Fred Brown, Glenn "Stick" Vidnovic, Dick Jensen, and Ben McGilmer) whom I listened to in bed on a $2 transistor...

    Good thought. It wasn't BTN but rather the tournament who controlled broadcast rights. I too refused to pay.

    BTN Plus subscriber for several years to 1) get early season men's BB 2) get all women's BB and 3) Get Wrestling, Baseball and softball. Up until this year I've been very satisfied with the coverage however this year the early tournaments were subcontracted away from BTN Plus to FloHoops who...

    If you see a negative post re the game, put a link in this thread.

    One thing about it..... if you were gonna screw up like the punter did, this was a good to do it!

    Have you all seen this OSU fan's youtube post on the game?

    This dude might well be the biggest excuse maker in the history of college football!

    Cayman Islands TV Schedule

    I watched last night's game v. Wm Jewell on BTN Plus to which I have a subscription. Further, this was a Flohoops production. As such, will the Cayman games be made available to anyone having a BTN Plus subscription? It would make sense that they would.

    possibly unpopular: discussion about the fans

    Not trying to single you out, Racer but I've heard this story line before so many times it makes me puke. Of course no one likes the booing but how many ever did something about it. Two years ago that crap started in my section and on that particular day I had particularly successful...

    Iowa National Title Hopes Take Beating Tonight

    I really don't beleive there have every been any realistic national title hopes this year. The key is next year. Finish strong even if its with a loss, go the Rose Bowl and beat Oregon. Set the table for next year! Come out of the gate strong and and we'll all be rewarded.

    I think Oregon would smoke us...

    IT wasnt the time off that was responsible at the Orange Bowl. Our players weren't prepared to play in the heat. The coaching staff learned much from that trip.

    The best thing that could happen....

    is for Texas and either Bama or Fla to meet in the Championship game. Iowa must then garner a trip to the Rose Bowl (frankly I'm indifferent as to whether we go undefeated or not) and play Oregon, IMHO and many others, the best team in the country. If Oregon is excluded from the Nat Champ...

    Year helmet was used?

    I remember it specificallly. It was ANF and the American flag were on the Hawks the year of the Freedom Bowl. Driving rain storm yet the Hawks looked like they were on Astro Turf. Beat Texas so bad that the slaughtered Bevo and had steaks!!!!

    Illinois Trainwreck Continues

    I really hope Illinois keeps Zook. As my handle may indicate, I'm a big Bears fan and frankly I really dont want to see another broken down ex-ILL INI coach "dead end" in Chicago!

    Does anyone else miss....

    I sure as heck don't miss the massive traffic jams of people entering the game at the SW corner. That was dangerous for kids!
