I know this is farfetched, but, what would have been the result of Mirk, after being purposely tripped, getting to his feet and getting into a fist fight with Fears. Is it possible that both players get ejected. Such a result would surely have benefitted us. I mean, not dealing with Fears'...

From what I understand Wagler's high school Coach had a connection to Underwood because of that coach's allegiance to KSU. That could be the reason Wagler chose Illinois instead of the more money being offered from Minnesota. If that is the case, then connection played a bigger role in this...

After being cut by the Patriots in his attempt to make that roster in'23, he made some noise in the XFL in '24. I have no idea where he is at present. He was a problem at Miami and we avoided that stink. It all worked out for the best. It was kind of a weird episode at the time, though!

If I am Iowa I would go full court press on Chris Collins. JMHO

If Devrie takes any other job tell me why WVU hiring Chester to take the helm is a bad move?

If Brad decides to leave for a fresh start elsewhere we are going to have to search for a credible replacement. If that happens I would not be opposed to kicking the tires on Chris Collins and his assistant Lowery. With our NIL and Alumni support I think Collins would be a star here. His X and O...

I know this is probably a foolish question. Could Ty Rogers lose his red shirt if he decided to play in the NCAA tournament? Just asking for clarification.

I know that this is going to be an unpopular take but my choice to replace Brad is Chris Collins. The kid can coach and he can inspire. With our NIL and a top recruiter on staff I think he would be very successful here. Any coach that can vault the Mild Kitties into relevance would raise the bar...

I am hearing that if Fran hangs it up in Iowa City, Chris Collins is the name on the top of their list. Despite what we feel about the Mild Kitties, Chris can really Coach. I think he could shine in Iowa City. What is the board's feeling on this hot take?

Shopping for a new team to transfer to.

This is kind of off topic. I have watched UCLA play 4 times this year. 3 since Cronin went off on his "soft" rant. It seems to me that the coach's pre-game instruction is that: "the refs can't call them all, foul early and foul often". The Bruins are the most thug team in the league. I will not...

I believe that Peacock will televise the first three games of the Big Ten Tournament on Wednesday. The Big Ten Network will televise the second round games on Thursday. BTN will also televise the third round games on Friday. CBS will televise semifinal and final rounds on Saturday and Sunday.

Playing a full forty would be something completely new.

Very good teams have one thing in common: The Killer Instinct. This team has the players. They need to focus entirely on developing that killer instinct. If they cannot find that ingredient I am afraid they will never find their ceiling; the second season will end with a thud. Never take the...

I have never said anything is bad. Don't put words in my mouth. Tennessee got beat by 30 points just a few games ago. Is Tennessee just a trash team? Hell no they're not. Vet your concerns as you like. But don't expect that there will not be pushback.
