I wish we could have kept Dix, but I think losing Freeman was addition by subtraction.

Over KF's entire tenure, average wins per season (2020 wins are prorated): OSU --> 10.9 Wisc --> 8.9 Mich --> 8.5 PSU --> 8.4 Iowa --> 7.9 MSU --> 7.3 Over the last 10 years: OSU --> 11.9 Mich --> 9.8 PSU --> 9.4 Iowa --> 9.2 Wis --> 8.6 MSU --> 6.7 Best 3-year stretch over the last 10: Mich...

...if the game goes in the right direction. Sitting through a stinker in cold, wet conditions is one of the circles of Hell, I am pretty sure.

Not MVP, but we have gotten way more than expected out of the DT platoon of Pace/Hawthorne. That position eating blocks is absolutely critical for the success of the D, and those 2 portal pickups have been great. And Hawthorne has 2 more years left!

I don't think anyone has even mentioned Entringer, who has also been nails. 4th down stop vs. IU 3rd and goal stop vs. PSU

I will give you a counterpoint. I played football in the old IIAC, and we played Upper Iowa U one year in some dicey weather (upper 20s, windy, light snow). A large proportion of their players, and almost all of their skill position players, were from Florida, Texas, California, Hawaii, or...

Follow the Bluder model...after the season (preferably an AMAZING season), set someone on your staff up as the heir apparent, and ride off into the sunset. We just need to take care of the "amazing season" part, and the rest will write itself.

My guess is the OP heard some scuttlebutt, and he just popped up to see if anyone else caught wind of it. Nothing the guy (or gal) should get crucified for, that is what message boards are for.

For whatever reason, Lewis has never seemed that into Iowa...maybe she just wants to leave the state, which I totally get. I would be much more excited about Bjorn and her dunks...hopefully that one comes through!

I should clarify...Milkey indicated ND got a big recruiting commitment. The commitment being Lewis was speculation, I guess.

My wife follows Skim Milkey on twitter, and they are pretty much 100% accurate on recruiting predictions. Just today, they predicted Lewis to ND.

If we had to stack them up side by side, Phil > Norm, right? It is kind of like a HF vs. KF comparison, they are both great, hard to pick. But gun to my head, I think HF > KF and Phil > Norm.

No idea if Hecklinski is the real deal, but regarding QB height, here is the distribution of heights for the NCAA QB among the top 50 in QBR: The most common QB heights are 6'2" - 6'3"...you are much more likely to find a successful QB who is under 6'2" (18 instances among the top 50) than you...

I know this isn't Hawks related, but if not black and gold, it is at the very least comedy gold! Rico Dowdle tests the 2 pump rule Hingle McCringleberry - 3 pumps
