Remember, we are "Rising" and have not reached the top yet. The Hawks need our support more than ever. We have a few home games left and need Carver rocking! Obviously not having Basabe in the lineup the last 2 games has exposed depth concerns down low. This team is better than last year and we...

Great Post! I was at the game and couldn't believe how many fans were booing an 8-0 Team at Half and then booing Stanzi a week after he lead The Drive. A few fans ruin it for everyone. I mean seriously.....we are 8-0 and in the middle of a once in a lifetime season and you are booing the...

Penn St is being really good football and could arguably be playing the best football in the Big 10 right now. Ohio St still looks shaky although they finally got some offense going in the 2nd half against Minn. I don't see how you can see OSU will beat PSU?? Also - Yes, Iowa fans travel well...

The other added benefit is the sad state that Illinois football is in right now as we continually battle over recruits with them.

I keep hearing that our Magical Season will help recruiting. Have we seen anything happen yet or have heard of any recruits who are now including Iowa as a potential school? I'm just curious and excited what all this national exposure and high rankings can do for our program. We had a great...

This is where Iowa Fans truly miss Trev Alberts working for ESPN. If you remember during the 2002 Season, each and every week for the past month of the season he kept saying that Iowa was the Best Team in the Big 10 and not OSU. He gave us props and kept giving the other analysts the real facts.

Yes, the facilities are key. The football program is known for having one of the best in the conference and we have gained recruits based off them. If we want our Basketball Team to compete for Big 10 Titles, we need to invest in them like we did for Football. Spend the money and upgrade...

It all starts with facilities. You can bring any coach to Iowa (and we have a great one in Lick), but until we can compete with other schools in facilities, we will not improve and bring in above average recruits. There is renovation going on to Carver that will add a practice facility and...

I am pleased to see the support on this web site for Kirk Ferentz and his bonus structure. If you win games and get national attention and extra money for the university, you should get paid for it! Has anyone else seen the article on the Des Moines Register web site about his bonus? The...

There is no way that we drop a team from our conference. If we still had 10 schools with the additonal game being added recently to the schedules, we could play every team in the conference. In this day and age with televison contract money and finding a school in the midwest the size of other...

Unfortunately, the phrase "style points" keeps coming up and it plays a part right now at the mid-point of the season. As long as Iowa keeps winning, the margin of victories will not matter.

Stanzi finds a way to win, but there are still too many mistakes. The Team is making him look better, although Ricky had a great game against Wisconsin. I would have liked to have seen him throw the ball away when flushed out of the pocket and getting sacked, especially on the 4th down play with...
