Y Yes, Rutgers' entrance requirements are harder than Iowa's. Within the world of the B1G (including RU and Maryland), Iowa's entrance requirements for undergrad rank in the bottom quarter.

One case is a "fluke." 12 at the same time is not a fluke, especially for an infrequent problem like rhabdo (it's not the common cold). I have no idea what Lowe's story is or if he's just looking for money, but given the infrequency of rhabdo, common sense says something was going down.

Isn't it funny that last year, they kept running Garmon between the tackles, something he was not built for. This year, they keep running Weisman outside, something he can't do. KF and GD are not scratching where it itches. Have no idea what happened to the 3-tight sets after OSU first half. It...

Norm gets credit for the 2010 Orange Bowl. KF can take some credit for 2010 MSU, though MSU falling flat as a pancake had a lot to do with that. 2011 Michigan and 2012 MSU wins (and 2013 Northwestern) the team won in spite of KF. The last time KF (and not a coordinator) outdid his opponent was...

Re: Iowa Football: Why the Hawkeyes Current Reputation Does Not Reflect Their Talent( Actually, it's a link to CBS Sports and Walterfootball.

Offensive formations: how much I, how much ace, what are they doing with the tight ends?

Where would true freshmen fit in in a "spring practice" preview?

Joe Pa: not going to bother getting actual records b/c Iowa fans remember how bad his teams were in early part of century.

Maryland is a much better academic institution than Mizzou. Academically, Big Ten took substantial hit by accepting Nebraska. Maryland also brings in DC/Baltimore TV sets. Mizzou brings in St. Louis. DC/Baltimore No. 5, I think, market in country. St. Louis somewhere in the 20s. Businesswise...

Bill O'Brien (PSU coach) "goes for it a lot" because his place kicker is 7-for-14 on the year.

While I am not a Ferentz basher, consider your first point. Past Iowa teams (pre-BCS) have not had the benefit of playing two should-be MAC-rifices and an FCS opponent in the OOC. The 1980 Hawks, for ex, OOC included ISU, Arizona and Nebraska. 1975: Syracuse, USC, Penn State. 1960: Oregon State...

That Georgia Tech is listed well ahead of Georgia automatically negates the poll. Anybody that has any familiarity with the state of Georgia doesn't need a poll to tell him that UGA is by far the big ticket in the state.

Which supports exactly what I said: "The fact is most BR articles aren't very good, but there are some quality articles and writers on the site. You just have to find them."

Firstly, UNI will not beat Iowa. That said, I find it funny when people are quick to disparage Bleacher Report. Do you think highly of Hawkeye Gamefilm, who regularly posts on HN? If so, he was on BR first-- hawkeye gamefilm's Sportswriter Profile | Bleacher Report How about the top Iowa...

Coker was exhausted. The fault did not lay with Coker, but with Iowa never establishing a backup running back.
