There's a lot of Cornhusker fans who support their Cornhusker football team but support and donate to the Creighton basketball team. I've come to the conclusion, the NIL is out of control. IF guys like Dix and Freeman are getting millions, I cannot imagine what top tier players get. And wasn't...

Agree with a lot of being said. I think also beyond the youth, it's a chemistry adjustment. I say it's a bit of the Caitlyn Clark Effect. At times, you saw the team almost lost. Who was going to step up and take the shot. The last several years, you always had Clark to take charge and take the...

You make a good point on TE usage. I'm curious if Lester's scheme does not utilize tight ends. That could potentially affect future recruiting at this position, which we have done fairly well at.

I honestly don't think he was truly ever "right" after the ACL surgery much less the second injury. He wore that big bulky brace and it hindered him. If you really watched his throwing mechanics, he never truly could plant that front throwing leg, and it showed. Great leadership and locker...

I think in many ways, he has earned the right to decide when he wants to go. I don't think KF will overstay his welcome. He loves what he does and truly enjoys working with his guys. I have some optimism for next year. Hoping the portal is good to us and we can pick up a few key needs. I don't...

Wasn't there something also about Fant not being the best blocker and taking plays off? I'm not sure. It's unfortunate when you get family involved and think they know more than the staff does. Often times, we only get part of the story or facts. Out of all the tight ends that Iowa has produced...

We tend to recruit or want "game managers" for Ferentz's style of play. Every once in a while we get that unicorn like a Banks or some of the aforementioned QB's that are allowed to shine, and can still meet that game manager that KF wants. More often than not, it seems that either we recruit a...

I think there's a lot of truth to what is being posted. Unfortunately, we likely will never get the full story. It is likely somewhere in the middle. It was very cringy to hear he and KF had not talked since 2020, but I'm sure when this hit the fan, all personal friendships were out the window...

I wish BF the best. It didn't work here. We can point and lay blame to many things. But at the end of the day he was on the higher end of the food chain and besides Kirk, the buck stopped with him. I think it was a critical mistake to put Brian in the OC for a few reasons. IF he would have...

LOL. I should prob check my posts before I hit reply. My bad.

Wasn't there something also that Lester and KF put their heads together and changed some of the blocking schemes or potentially getting away from the zone blocking? Not sure, but thought I read that somewhere that KF was giving in some and open to some change.

Sometimes all you can have is hope. The offensive woes have been glaring. But we have found ways to win and have had very successful seasons of recent that a lot of teams would love to have. All we can do now is try to be optimistic that KF allows Lester to open things up a bit more. No, we...

I think KF has had to learn to adjust after years of digging his heels in on how he runs the program. The NIL and portal aren't going anywhere for the time being. The loyalty factor to players who have played and performed (marginally) will have to go to the wayside. New OC with the hope that...

I watched an interview where HLV actually defended CC on the "cant see me" gesture. She said media perpetuated it and ran with it. She advised that it wasn't directed at her and at the Iowa's strength coach. HLV even advised she even texted CC to clarify it. I think we as fans can have bias...

I think this obviously has some merit. I also think maybe Patrick does his own thing next season and Fran bails next year and they move closer to wherever Jack decides to go. I was actually surprised Patrick didn't just hang it up since next year will be his COVID year.
