Listened to a POD with Kyle Huesman and he thinks McKenna is going to be a Hawk. He sounds pretty confident that she'll let the coaches know within a week or so and be a silent commit for awhile before she publicly announces it. Addie Deal did it similarly too. That feels like quite the domino...

Did he ever. It was pretty much accidental. The story of his mom half joking about reclassifying to come now when she didn't even know that was a thing is pretty funny. Ben was like well yeah if his academics are in order it's most definitely possible. Ben didn't bring it up first like some in...

I'd heard this story about him a long time ago and it's pretty amazing. He was front and center for when MLK gave his most famous I have a dream speech. Once it was over MLK walked off the stage and gave the written speech to Raveling who happened be security on the stage. He had it all the way...

Eventually it'll all come down to that... The realities are what they are. Iowa's already been losing out on recruiting battles to Creighton and NE for kids we wanted and that's 99% $ related. It'd take one hell of a coach out kicking their coverage to overcome that long term

The what if of this season to me may end up being what if Iowa just kept Brenden Sullivan instead? It woulda been yr 2 for him under Lester he wouldn't have had the first game/big game jitters Mark evidently had. He's no less athletic probably more so then Mark. Sullivan went to Tulane and got...

That's exactly what it can do. You can sneak out wins on the road that ESPN will tell you that you have no business wining at all. When those guys have situational chemistry and don't have to look down at their feet and wonder what play are they running and just play reactive ball with one...

And that's all great. Again that's special teams... Not the same thing as playing LB. I'm not saying he's going to be great or bad. I'm just saying we don't know

PA slow mesh MG keeps it and throws to Ostrenga over the middle for 12 yards and we're off and running

The thing I take solace in is that yeah we pretty much flipped the whole roster. But he's brought in the best of who he had at Drake and those guys all have built in chemistry with each other and coaches. So it's more like we are adding in a few guys like Hausen and Folgueras to sprinkle in that...

I've been only hearing great things about Jirak too. So much so that not just because he's the only taller guy on the roster but because he seems to be pretty skilled and smart that he's going to play some right away. Playing young big guys can be problematic so it'd be nice to not put too much...

Yeah it felt like he just needed fall camp to get more up to speed on learning the O and timing with Mark. Neither of which he could do during spring. The coaches must think a lot about Phillips for him to jump not just RVZ but everyone pretty much to be at the top of the depth chart.

I see we found cup half empty guy. Well last yr we had some major injuries hit an extremely thin roster that wasn't a huge surprise as the yr progressed that they weren't going be very good. They woulda needed some stars to align to have made the dance and as close as they were to doing it I...

Saw on the X that David Eickholt is reporting that RVZ hurt his foot yesterday and is gonna be out a month... Described it as a 'freak injury' So all that coming out of camp healthy talk was all way too good to be true... Go figure. Don't shoot the messenger but damn this sucks

And I've been trying to forget ever since... Thankfully this yr feels different. Oline SHOULD be dominant in the run game. Multiple RBs that seem to fit the bill. TEs that have experience and can block. Multiple WRs same thing and a QB and OC that have had success. They just all haven't had any...

Yeah that's a needle to be threaded. If it's 34-0 at halftime how long into the 3rd do you keep the starters in kinda thing. I don't think KF would for much longer then 1 more possession honestly. Just my guess and I'm not saying I'd agree with it. And yeah if the offense struggles to a 10-3...
