    Iowa, Nebraska Kicked Off Nonsense

    @ Ohio State - L @ USC - L @ Iowa - L They may want to re-think their handshaking strategy. It doesn't seem to be working out for them with any tangible positive results.

    Kaleb Johnson Declares for NFL Draft

    Skattebo from ASU is another top back for the 2025 draft. Runs hard and is a threat in the passing game.

    GOOD BYu

    Indiana started that game off strong. Ohio State wasn't really moving the ball - it was 3 special teams issues that cost Indiana in that first half. They had a punt blocked for an Ohio State score, then they muffed a punt snap giving the ball to Ohio State on the Indiana 5 (which ended up an...

    Pasadena

    I'm 0-3 as of Friday. I left feeling pleased that we didn't get blown out like we did against Stanford. Bathroom lines were ridiculous as well - but it's still cool to be in the Rose Bowl.

    About UCLA

    Do it! I've been up the Pacific Coast Highway multiple times on a motorcycle and it's breathtaking.

    About UCLA

    We are heading over from Phoenix, as well. I haven't made it to an Iowa game in a few years, so I am looking forward to it. My two grandsons will be coming with me to attend their first Iowa Hawkeye football game.

    Iowa QB Situation Remains Mystery

    Not a Kirk apologist and I also believe Sullivan should get the chance to start this week - BUT, we have seen Sullivan make a couple of really poor decisions when things break down. He's made some ill-advised attempts to throw a pass when he should secure it and eat the loss, etc. I'm hopeful...

    Sully Throws For 400 In His Iowa Starting Debut Game Thread

    Check out the stats on that game. He threw for 461, had 3 TDs but also 3 picks. His QBR was something like 44.

    10:1 Odds that McNamara starts

    If any other positional player turned the ball over like he did in the Ohio State game, they'd be riding the bench for the rest of the year. One fumble will put a running back or wide receiver on the bench - but poor quarterback play will be tolerated well beyond reason.

    Iowa at OSU 2024

    November 4, 2017. We will always have November 4, 2017. Unfortunately, this will be October 5, 2024 and we will likely see the reverse - Ohio State 55 - Iowa 24. Except I don't think we can score 24. To end this stream of conscious gibberish, my final thought is Ohio State 42 - Iowa 10.

    Offensive coordinator talks offense

    They are employees of the State of Iowa. The fact that athletic department revenues fund their salaries doesn't change that - because the revenue would otherwise be income to the University of Iowa - a subdivision of the State of Iowa. It's still State of Iowa money whether its from football...

    Predictions for Minny?

    We will be up by 9 at half (16-7) and then do virtually nothing during the second half. Minnesota will score 7 (16-14) and we will have a 2 point lead and the ball with 2 minutes left and not achieve a first down. We will then punt it back to Minnesota with 1:45 left on the clock and then...

    New rule in 2024 cost Iowa big time

    In most circumstances, I would agree with you (and I did watch the entire game - twice). But the problem arises when there isn't even the THREAT of passing. It wasn't even a gamble for ISU - they knew they could sell out on the run and they did. ISU would have had to respect at least the...

    Revoke Xavier and Cade's Scholarships

    We don't even get to that point (the defense giving up 40 yards to allow ISU into FG position) if we get a first down on offense. We ran 3 times into a stacked box. With ZERO threat of a pass, ISU sold out to the run and we had to punt it back to ISU instead of taking a victory knee. The D...
