I understand trying to make a quality schedule. I knew about USC, but did not know about the other 3. My fault, I should have checked. But c'mon! Playing at Middle Tennessee State?

WOW! Minnesota has to GO to Middle Tennessee State to play a game?! Their Athletic Director or whomever makes the schedule should be fired immediately! Be embarassed Gopher fans. You couldn't get them to come to your BRAND NEW STADIUM? Pathetic.

GazetteOnline.com : A 5-inning no-hitter still counts

Tue, 13 Jul 2010 19:50:23 +0000

If a NASCAR driver can get a win by only finishing half the race (which I'm not a fan of) then I have no problem with this being considered a no-hitter.

Why is it when an Iowa Basketball player says that they're commited to the program, they normaly leave?

I'm still not sure why Iowa State cares so much about retaining their BCS status. It's not like they're ever going to need it.

"He was a member of the 1992 U.S. Youth Soccer Region II Olympic Development Program team". Sooooo...was he 1 at the time, if that?

GazetteOnline.com : Lickliter discusses speculation

Fri, 12 Mar 2010 06:04:51 +0000

Who's going to replace Todd? Answer me that. I agree that he has to leave, But who takes his job? The buyout on his contract is huge. And who pays for that? The Taxpayers, that's who. Quit buying into the Hawaii coaches buyout. Donors to the school paid for his $200,000 payday. Iowa would owe Todd over $2,000,000 in tax payer money if he's fired! He should do the honorable thing and resign if he really cares about the people of Iowa. At least we won't have to hear him say that "We have turned the corner" ever again!

GazetteOnline.com : Four downs with the QBs

Wed, 10 Mar 2010 11:27:22 +0000

Maybe he can back up Peyton Manning. He has a thing for Big Ten QB's. Sorgi, Painter. Hey, at the very least, maybe Stanzi can win a ring as a backup. Not sure if he is a starter at this point, but who knows. Nobody thought much of Kurt Warner until Trent Green went down!

GazetteOnline.com : Lickliter doesn't expect transfers, but it wouldn't surprise him, either

Wed, 10 Mar 2010 11:14:21 +0000

What does it take to be a "star player at Hawaii"? Just show up? Quit reading the blog's and putting your spin on someone else's spin. Wait one more year and see what Lick does with a full squad. Until then, none of us have any room to comment.

What about Tim Dwight? Not only was he an amazing football player, but he was also a 4 time Big Ten track champion.

Mike, Found this link today. It actually makes a pretty rational arguement for Texas joining the Big Ten. Check it out. I assure you it's not as long of an article as it looks! http://frankthetank.wordpress.com/2010/01/04/big-...

GazetteOnline.com : Iowa's Tucker to play tonight?

Wed, 10 Feb 2010 23:04:40 +0000

Playing well? Rotations being established? No offense to John Lickliter, but Tucker gives us a WAY better chance of W-I-N-N-I-N-G when on the court, not on the bench. If Anthony still has requirements to fulfill, so be it. Just don't dress him! But if not, you have to play him.

Carver was a fantastic atmosphere last night! It was great to see the fans finally come out and support the Hawks. Even if it meant letting all the students in for free. Hopefully all the people that came saw just how much these kids are progressing and will come out and see them again!

GazetteOnline.com : Lickliter: Tucker may not play rest of season

Wed, 27 Jan 2010 10:46:34 +0000

Is Tucker eligable for a red shirt the rest of the season? I wouldn't think so, but just wondering.
