    Gopher/Weisman tidbit

    One of my best friends is friends with a Gopher coach. He told me that there is a picture of Weisman in the Gopher FB complex that says, "Are you tough enough to tackle him?" The coaches were impressed with him and disappointed in their own kids' efforts last year. Gonna be a good game for...

    Favorite player from the past 5 years?

    Aaron White Mike Muscala (Bucknell) - I coached him in HS

    Holy **** a real scrimmage this Saturday!

    This is a terrific idea. My guess is one of the main reasons involves getting a look at the QB's in as much of a game situation as possible. Love that we're changing things up a bit! Go Hawks!

    Sapp

    Gotta hand it to Fran on this. His 2 early TOs were terrible. I could have seen where he doesn't see the court after that. Starters can do that, role players often have to cheer the rest of the night. That might not be right, but that's how it is. Fran also chewed him at the end of the...

    Officiating

    The thing that drives me crazy is that calls favor the home team at an unbelievable level. The Hawks have gotten quite a few terrible calls at Carver that are shameful. A few of the calls that Zeller got the other day were downright laughable. When I coached I used to say that we had to play...

    Best freshman year?

    Great season for Settles. Ricky Davis 31 Games 15.0 ppg 2.4 apg 4.8 rpg 1.2 spg I'd give the nod to Jess.

    Best freshman year?

    I don't recall stats but Ricky Davis' frosh year has to be one of the best in Hawk history.

    Minnesota's Win Over Indiana Complicates Iowa's Big Ten Tourney Seed?

    Good work, Spank. I have a huge case of the blahs regarding the Hawks right now. I think it's a carryover from football and heartbreaking bb losses. Maybe we can make a run and I'll get excited again. Right now I feel like if I care less, close losses won't hurt as badly. Yeah, right. Oh...

    Ferentz Speak - One thing that was actually important.

    Zero chance BVS doesn't start. Providing he's healthy (knock wood).

    Bold Prediction for Next Year

    There's a difference b/n HS and the B1G. That said, we would have won 1.5 - 2 more games this year w/ Jok having the ball in his hands at crunch time. He's bigger physically than I thought.

    Bubble Watch 2013 – The Precarious Resume of Iowa

    It's crazy early and if (big IF) the Hawks get on a roll, the committee would look very favorably on our squad. Some close losses, brutal Big Ten, etc... We need to climb those B1G standings, I believe. That's how we punch our ticket. Our out-of-conference results are neither here nor there...

    OT-Muscala Bucknell

    I will pass these sentiments to him. They would mean a great deal to him.

    OT-Muscala Bucknell

    Please take a second to vote for my former player, Mike Muscala of Bucknell. Men's Basketball | Senior CLASS Award Mike's an exceptional player, student, and the most humble person I know. I called the Iowa staff under the previous coach and told them about him. They said they were, "Aware...

    Get the ball inside...

    That was my biggest frustration. There were many instances late where we should have taken the ball at Bucky. They are a good defensive team, but not so great that we can't drive/pass the ball inside. We were in the double bonus. Get the ball inside, shoot free throws, win. Period. Granted...

    Marble needs to Sit

    If he's not hurt, and that's what we saw, he should sit the rest of the season. The effort on getting caught on the screen/curl cut w/ Brust made it look like Dev was in quicksand. If he's injured, let him heal. If that was from lack of effort, I don't want to see him again this year.

    Temper your Disappointment

    Marble isn't healthy. He almost couldn't pivot vs the Gophers up in the barn. When I saw that I couldn't believe he was on the court.

    40 Forever!

    I just posted these same sentiments. Part of me wants to avoid it b/c it hurts. Chris felt like a brother to me even though I had never met him.

    CMS40

    Obviously many threads have been written and many more will. I just watched a few of the videos that have been done. I almost can't get through them. After 20 years it still hurts badly. I never once met Chris Street, yet his death is one of the worst days of my life. What an amazing person...
