It's also just the style of wrestling. I was at several of the sessions. Iowa's style is just not extremely fun to watch right now. Of course there are exceptions, but as a whole, it feels very conservative. Obviously Brands preaches aggressive wrestling. Obviously he's had success and no...

This article is dead on with what I feel. I don't post here anymore because i don't feel like there's room for this opinion. Glad the article got posted. Plenty of people still hope Kirk has a good year this year. They just are less vocal.

Its no huddle. Not fast paced. We are averaging a lot more plays and a lot more yards per game. Points generated from those two things are the real concern.

I admit that the overwhelming feeling during this game was, "are we going to win another game this season?" But, before the season the 2 biggest concerns were 1.) defense 2.) quarterback. The defense looked as they should in the first half, and dominated. Almost all 3 and outs. In the...

Pretty clear Ferentz told Andy Reid to pass on Mcnutt just like he did with DJK and the NFL...oh wait.... And for those not sure, yes this was intended to be sarcasm. The DJK conspiracy continues to be discreditted.

Last year, several people, including Kirk Herbstriet picked Iowa to be in the big ten championship game. I agree about 2007. That was a low point. I definitely had selective forgetting about that year. Generally though, Iowa has performed well in the underdog role, and I think it's a place...

When was the last time an Iowa football team had low expectations, and failed to excede them? Kirk is an underdog coach, with an underdog mentality and that has proven, in the past to be his greatest X-man power. If we can weather the early storms and stay healthy on the D-line (which I...

Agreed. How is tired of being the third place Iowa website. His badgering of Ferentz jumped the shark. Sad.

It's a pencil, Columbo.

NCAAF PSU can focus on victims - ESPN I know I'll probably screw up this link on my phone, and I know this stuff has been posted to death, but this article is a must read for all spots fans and gets to the heart of the issue.

Alvis: was our 2nd or 3rd best d-lineman last year before he got injured. I think he was undersized, but really good. Hopefully he will have put on some strength and weight in the 1 1/2 years off. I remember gamefilm consistently comparing him to Klug. If he is able to recover, he will be...

I guess I'm just bitter because when Tiberius and I were in clown college, we had to pay for our own floppy shoes, cream pies, AND seltzer bottles. Luckily we didn't have Obama Care, so instead of being mandated by big brother to have health insurance, we just visited Doctor Giggles, the...

Ferentz has said publicly and I complete agree, that getting the right guy at DC is way way more important than any recruit. This is not something to rush into. Coaching is what has made iowa competitive in the past. Holding off will pay off.

This is really bad. the sexual nature of them is also pretty appalling. it's a black eye for wrestling to be sure.

I think this is dead on. I also think that usually it leads to wins. If you listen to Belichik talk, he buys into the same philosophy. That is one of the best parts of this staff. The worst parts, unfortunately were also on display this season.
