    Peloton Ad

    that's because they are not targeting bike enthusiasts who would care about that stuff. This ad is focused on a different persona -- middle-class women who have heard of Peleton, think it sounds/looks cool, but haven't pulled the trigger.

    Right down the ole Assalley

    First attempt on the offside did go right.

    Leave it to California

    Do all players on the team get the same amount? Or will it be tied to production on the field? or is about the brand name? So can they hire agents, marketing teams and PR people to help their publicity to become more "valuable" so they can earn more? Who quantitifies their "value"? Will there...

    Last Chance U - Netflix Documentary

    I think the coaching drama has been intriguing but would agree with some of you - let's see a new school. I would be interested to see a JUCO program that has a team mentality and a coach that can actually coach (maybe it doesn't exist and actually sounds boring as I type this out). Both Buddy...

    Pollard pointing out the obvious

    How many first round draft picks did Iowa have this year? How many in the top 3 rounds? And what was their record last year playing 10 of their games against unranked opponents? Ferentz continues to underwhelm with the talent he has. That's his mantra -- not changing his offense/defense to...

    Brigette C is in!!!!,,,,,,Maegan G,......

    They only play ball 4 months out of the year? No practice, training, video sessions, camps, etc. the rest of the year?! They are getting paid to do all the above, not just show up to games 4 months out of the year. So no, $41,965 per year is not good.

    Corn growers Vs Bud Light

    Where you at @Doc? Those enabler soccer moms sure are outraged!

    Corn growers Vs Bud Light

    BL missed the mark. The intent was for the average joe (not a midwesterner) to assume corn syrup is the same as high-fructose corn syrup, implying Miller and Coors are bad for you. Instead, midwesterners who know the difference, got upset. Am I missing anything?

    Zone Defense?

    Zone worked against KU because their only points were in the paint. Collapsing the zone forced them into jump shots and they weren't making anything. The past few games were more of a match-up zone -- great concept. Doesn't allow the offense to overload one side and leave one guy unguarded...

    Sources: Shaka Smart’s Departure Likely

    Shaka ran a gimmick at VCU and it worked, because other mid-major teams didn't have the talent to withstand a handsy full-court press. Comes to TX without those type of scrappy guys, plays against B12 talent, and it doesn't work. So he resorts to changing his style, which also doesn't work. I...

    Hilton has lost its luster....

    Does Cyclone Alley still "ban" the -- clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, YOU SUCK! -- chant? .

    Not to jinx anything but...

    His best game is getting to the rack. Puts more pressure on the D and opens things for others. As long as he's not settling for threes, he's tough to stop.

    CBB Hook and hold rules

    Giving referees more power to make game-changing decisions, is never a good thing.

    Why didn't the Big 4 Classic work?

    The fix is simple -- Just have a craft beer discount, offer exotic grilled cheese sandwiches and watch the east village hipsters roll in.

    Weiskamp status?

    3 assists and 3/7 from the line from our Senior PG -- obviously won't cut it.

    Enough said...

    As much as this is on dingleberry for being a doofus, #1 is standing at the low post guarding the camera man.

    Weiskamp status?

    Context. We did all that with 4 freshman, two transfers and a PG who have never played ball together.

    Oregon-Iowa basketball

    Both teams shot a combined 35% from the field. Was the defense ok, yes. But at one point in the second half, Oregon missed 6 layups/point-blank-shots in a row.

    NOTEBOOK: Campbell "excited" for backup RBs in Montgomery's first-half absence

    The back-ups are not better, we all know that. However, our backups bring a different style that can help wear down the D. We should see more bubble screens, outside runs and lateral passes that will stretch the D edge to edge.

    Amazing Iowa High School Football Turnaround

    Sounds crazy but in 8 man, one kid makes a HUGE difference especially if he was the QB and middle linebacker.
