    Woodbury

    I am so glad there are sane people left in the Iowa fan base. After the first page I was really wondering... Is Woody a top 50 player in college basketball, as he was a top 50 recruit? No. That is obvious. Is he playing the best Basketball of his career? Yes. Better than most expected...

    Sorry CJB, don't trust you with 16-pt lead

    This is absolutely correct. Rudock earned the criticism he has gotten by playing poorly in the first three games and refusing to take chances with the ball, but today he proved he has addressed those concerns and looked like the better quarterback. CJ wasn't in rhythm and looked subpar on his...

    Olympic swimming team

    Also, haven't seen this mentioned but former Iowa swimmer Conor Dwyer qualified for the olympics during last night's trials. He is no longer with the team as he went to Florida to train with Lochte but for any former Iowa athlete qualify for the olympics is a rare accomplishment.

    Did Ferentz stumble upon evidence?

    The thought that he would have told Ferentz is pretty ridiculous. If there is ANYBODY that he would have avoided giving any hint to, don't you think it would have been Ferentz? If you were doing something you didn't want anybody to know about would you tell your boss at work? Your parents? Any...

    Props to Foles and the Zona D

    I have to agree. Foles didn't prove much all game UNTIL that play. Gotta give him props for threading the needle between 4 Iowa defenders for that TD. Stanzi not getting rid of the ball 4 straight plays is troubling at best but in the long run its one game and we played well minus gifting them...

    Best of the Decade: Offensive Player (VOTE!)

    This is a tough question, because it puts two "one year wonder" type players up against three multi-year contributers. I think Banks was the best QB we had in the decade, but between him and Tate I would have to give the nod to Tate because he single-handedly carried the offense for a year and...

    Who do you think could play RB?

    +1. I would love to see somebody try to tackle that man head on.

    Passing an undefeated Texas?

    I completly agree. If us and Texas both go undefeated and teams like PSU, Wisconsin and Arizona keep winning, I think we jump Texas. The Hawks control their own destiny on this one.

    Bowl Game Options

    Scenario #2 is impossible since PSU and OSU play each other. One of them will have 2 conference losses and effectively be eliminated. The first tiebreaker in the Big Ten is head to head, so if OSU beats us and we both finish 7-1 in conference, they would get the bid since they beat us. If PSU...

    Post Game Videos with Iowa Players

    Excellent videos. Every one represents exactly what the Hawkeyes are all about. Giving credit to their teammates and Ferentz and especially to the MSU team.

    What will the talking heads say about this win?

    Good point. We won this game despite the MSU offense making no game changing mistakes and despite numerous injuries on our side. No taking anything away from this W.

    How Could Any Football Fan Not See it was Helmet to Helmet?

    I agree that the hit was clearly helmet to helmet, but a question... why are we calling that play in the first place... That throw to the receiver in the flat has burned us in more ways than one this year. The Michigan pick six was on that exact same throw, we set our players up to get lit up...

    that Alabama needed two blocked field goals to beat unranked Tennessee?? They obviously aren't that good...
