@keithmurphy Taking a pay cut

@ScottDochterman So ticket holders are due a refund?

In all of these instances, there’s always a bit of whataboutism. But this seems a heavy-handed case of selective enforcement. And now both of Cooper DeJean’s electrifying punt returns that year are officially nullified by technicalities.

@ScottDochterman Is it an oversimplification to say the Big 10 can now legally do what others where already doing?

Pretty impressive run even past the champs. 6 different CFP semifinalists the last 3 years (counting Washington) 3 WBB championship game finalists last 4 years This year in MBB, 6 in the Sweet 16, 4 in the Elite Eight, 2 in Final Four and the champ

Watching it back. Look at the confusion on the Nebraska bench when they only had 4 on the floor.

@ScottDochterman Wow, Doc. Some things we think and some things we say. 🤔😳 😂

His name should have been Mat

@ScottDochterman Was there a couple years ago in May for my daughter’s graduation and do you know what? No Carver cones.

Despite the lack of air conditioning at Carver-Hawkeye Arena, it's uber-comfortable inside, partly because the ground temperature is still cool from the blizzard on Sunday/Monday. It's nowhere near as warm as a September Saturday outdoors or inside any football press box.

@AnnieAgar Love it but that pitch was 6” low. USA!

@ChadLeistikow Michigan D feasting on Iowa’s 1-handed passes off the dribble. Stremlow in particular needs to break that habit. Aggressive defenses jump those with no regard for a back cut.

Iowa now facing its first deficit of the Big Ten Tournament, at 6:08 of the 3rd quarter of the conference semfinals.

@ChadLeistikow Coach Leistikow. 😉

And whaddya know, an Alvaro Folgueiras substitution unlocks a quick 5-0 Iowa run.

@McDermedFox9 Might as well have fun coming down with it. 🤭

This game should be called “want the cold/flu?” 🥴 #playground #toddler #alwayssick

@ScottDochterman I turned the sound off but that’s only half the battle. Poor showing #big10+

I think Big Ten women’s basketball deserves a better production than what we’re seeing on BTN+ tonight. I wholly support the early-season nonconference games being a proving ground. This is below standard.

@Hassel_Chris 23 gold medals vaults us into the overall lead! 🤔

I’m sorry but the only assist should be from Megan Keller herself. What a move!

@AnnieAgar Too soon. 😢

@ minnesota vikings.

@IowaHoops Perfect pass.

CAM ‼️ SLAM ‼️

@DavidEickholt Ref couldn’t see him in the trees.

Ben McCollum was ALMOST in Kim Mulkey territory (but not quite) of on the court to get the timeout:

@Caraway6 @hawkeyegamefilm Awesome breakdown. Funny comment about the grades. I can’t remember the last time I heard of someone being academically ineligible. Is that still a requirement?

People keep asking why college offers are slow right now. Here’s the reality, and I’m not going to sugarcoat it. As of today (the final day to enter the Transfer Portal): • 10,853 football players have entered the portal • 6,715 are still actively looking for a home • 3,229 have signed • 576 have withdrawn • 333 have matriculated Breakdown by level: • FBS: 3,910 entered (1,633 still active) • FCS: 2,735 entered (1,789 still active) • DII: 2,779 entered (1,993 still active) • DIII: 1,340 entered (1,251 still active) That’s thousands of players still unplaced across every level of college football. Now add what no one wants to talk about: • Lawyers are suing the NCAA for extended eligibility for current players • Those lawsuits are freezing roster spots that would normally open • Division II has voted to allow 5 years of competition instead of 4, meaning fewer scholarships and roster spots available moving forward What does this mean in real terms? • Older players are staying longer • Coaches are holding scholarships • Roster math is completely unsettled • Decisions are being delayed because eligibility rules are changing in real time It’s an overloaded system where timing, legal uncertainty, and roster limits are colliding all at once. If recruiting feels quiet, stalled, or frustrating, this is why. Stay patient and keep your grades up!

@MensHumor We had several of these at our elementary school despite no one there ever playing soccer.

Getting hit with old, wet soccer balls as a kid hurt in ways that modern science refuses to acknowledge.

@AndrewCDowns I thought you went to bed! 😉

When my kids wake up they’ll find out they’ve been renamed Caleb and Williams.

@Super70sSports Pink Cadillac. (by anyone).

Name a song you can’t stand.

@ChadLeistikow From Liberty MO. Maybe just visiting his HS buddies. 😉
