Thanks so much for posting that flashback! Despite knowing the outcome, my heart was just pounding. That was some win..The D Line led by Mark Bortz was just BEASTLY. The win coming despite 5 lost turnovers.

the game replay that I would most LIKE to see is from 1981. We had just endured the longest non winning season drought in NCAA history, and had our hopes pinned on 3rd year coach Hayden Fry. the year before we had been destroyed by Nebraska 57-0. Nebraska was the opening game of 1981. while we...

No, no such finger was pointed. It was simply this is where our program stacked up against all others over the last 36 years. A time period including 3 ADs, and 2 head coaches.

The focus for the research was not to see how we compared during times of brilliance, or slump, but, to see where we fell in the Big picture over time.

I agree

The top 25 percentile was in D1. Yes, we do have a "good" program. There are many teams that wish they could achieve the results that IOWA has. I am also hope full that the new facilities can help them take the next step up. Go Hawks

On occasion, Iowa has a season of brilliance, leaving the faithfull hungry for more, and lamenting when it doesn't happen. I wanted to see how this compared to the rest of the NCAA during the span of the "modern" era of Hawkeye football 1979-2014. After researching the win-loss records of the...

NC...Oh my! :) Dr., what is the name of Zabel's book? I'd like to seek it out, thanks.

Awesome game! Interesting how BOTH teams wore home uniforms. Anyone know when the home, and away uni tradition began?

Don't sugar coat it...tell us how you REALLY feel! :)

Only venting after reading the Schwartz article. Stating the obvious, of course...it just pisses me off.

Those stats are shocking, pathetic, and for an athletic program this strongly supported, unacceptable. Great job Gary. Bump and Bob, are embarrassed for you.

I am a huge fan of the works of Hawkeye Nation's old friend Scott Hawk, and the touching, inspiring videos that he created for us all. In these troubling, question filled days for Hawkeye football, I would love to see what he could do with the song "What about now" by Daughtry.

Yes, it certainly has been in decline. But , I can't remember an Iowa team so devoid of physical talent since before Hayden resurrected the program.
