Wallace Loh, the President of the University of Maryland, was the provost at the University of Iowa as recently as the fall of 2010. He also earned his undergrad from Grinnell College. Interesting. (Side note: he did fall asleep during a presentation I gave to the PCOA back in 2009...must have...

I'd take Marty over these guys in a heartbeat. Sure he stirred the pot but you could always tell when he was doing it which made it easy to filter him. He's entertaining, no matter what you think of him. Matt Perrault, on the other hand, is an annoying, unentertaining version of Marty with a...

They really should. Could cover the main topics people care about anyway. Would be especially valuable during football season. Maybe 2 per week during football season - Thur or Fri preview the weekend and Mon and Tue review the weekend.

If not for any other reason, then for this quote. The statue must come down. They should also change the uniforms, the logo, and they should sever all ties with anyone associated with the crime and cover up. They should create a model for improved checks and balances, one that can be adopted...

It's brutal, dude. I'm sorry. I gave them a shot early on and did not last long. I won't even turn it on anymore. I know it's a dead time and I know they have a challenging slot, but even during football/basketball season I can't do it. Just reemphasizes the fact that Deace could have made some...

Really emphasizes the lack of time and attention spent marketing the program doesn't it?

If Barta (et al) focused half as much prompt attention and energy to marketing the program as he (they) just did to publicly throwing Fran under the bus, the program wouldn't be desperately trying to climb out of the debts of the unknown and irrelevant. And fans wouldn't be nearly as apathetic...

You have a nation behind you Dolph, Hawkeye Nation. Don't hesitate to lean on us. Beat it like we do the Cyclones!

Very, very tough to argue. So I won't. I love Tom Brands. Anything he ever needs...

Amen. Let's go UIAD!

Capacity is 4,000. Obviously there haven't been that may students at a game in 5+ years. Stick with me. To your point about IN, ISU, and MO: Are you really using ISU and Indiana in your argument? How have their teams played recently (last 2-3 years)? How about IL, Michigan, Duke, KU, MSU, Penn...

And this is the main reason the Iowa basketball program has had the problem it has had for more than half of a decade now. For some reason far beyond my comprehension they, like Iowa Banker, believe that people should consume their product "just because" or if they're a "true Hawk." While that...

Hahaha. Nice.

My apologies for the defensive assumption. Thanks for the constructive thought. True Hawk. Agreed. Has to be full and rockin. If marketed creatively though, I think simply relocating the section and putting the students in a prime spot will bring more students in and of itself. However...

Thanks. Roughly $5/game if purchased as a season ticket ($80-85). I think I know where you're going though. And we can have that conversation...but do recall what I said, make an investment in the student section.

Push the first 10 rows of the arena (not permanent structure) back under the permanent structure (as they do during practices to make the floor bigger) and put in bleachers for the students to use in that area. This would negate the need for any tarps or "killed seats" and anyone who used to...

By "some" you must mean about 75 of the 4,000 seats that are in the Hawks Nest. What needs to happen is the generous donors who sit in the first 10 rows at CHA (on the TV side) such as yourself, Mr IowaBanker, need to unite. If there was a considerable group of you that would be willing to...

Exactly. Maybe take a proactive, business-like approach and make an investment in the student body by relocating the section. Empower the Hawks Nest to make a difference and help the rebuilding project. Instead, the mantra remains: "win and they will come back, we can't do anything else until...
