    Fant made the right move but

    I want to disagree with what you responded with, but I am having a hard time with that. I may have responded over zealously to your post, because I don't believe that Ferentz would ever factor in the color of one's skin in regards to earning a spot on the team, but,....his pre-deposition on...

    Fant made the right move but

    I think that is a bulls**t opinion, and a potentially damaging one at that. I get you don't particularly like Ferentz, and that's your right, but to throw out the race card in this matter is wrong, and I thought you were better then that. Again, going back to what I said earlier, I believe it...

    Fant made the right move but

    I truly appreciate what Mr. Fant accomplished in his time with the Hawkeyes, and I wish him nothing but the best in the future of his football career. That being said, I can't help but wonder about his commitment to the team, and think that maybe this is for the best, as we are going to need...

    Disappointed

    I have followed the Hawks for 40+ years, and have seen the great, the good, the "meh", and the bad, sometimes all in the same game! I get that we are passionate about this team, I get that we are Hawkeyes through and through, but I don't get how some fans wants to dictate how the rest of us...

    Iowa 16, ISU 24 in first CFP Poll

    I believe that the Hawks could be 8-0 right now, but they could also be 4-4 as well. Our passing game needs to settle down, and while I appreciate the fact that the flow of the game can be unpredictable, the coaching staff needs to look at time and field position before trying something that...

    Question on "Walk-Offs"

    2005 capital one bowl is my choice for #1, as the range of emotions went from "what the Hell are we doing!?!?", to "WHAT THE HELL DID WE JUST DO?!!! Though the 7got 6 game is a close second, I remember being at the Waveland bar for that, and when McNutt caught the TD, there were people spilling...

    Reality check

    Can you remember the last time Iowa went out and won back to back road games in such dominating fashion? Can you remember the last time we played Indiana and handed them their asses in the way it occurred yesterday? I know that we have tougher games ahead, I understand that Minny and Indy are...

    Iowalaw's Post-Game Observations: Minnesota

    I don't know the reasons behind the struggles running the ball against the Goofers, but it did seem that they had an awful lot of personnel within 5-6 yards from the line of scrimmage most of the game. Did we still bang our heads against the brick wall in that type of situation? Yes, but not as...

    Good job with this, and I hope it continues!

    What one statistic would you wish Iowa would lead the B1G Ten in this year?

    I was going to say wins, but a few beat me to it. Any... and I mean any, improvement on defense, including but not limited to steals, opponent's shooting %, and metal toughness, would be an uptick from last season. I know that you all are saying, "Well,...DUH!!", but its not like the Hawks...

    Howe column: Beast of the Big Ten West Takes Out Hawkeyes Again

    I felt like someone had punched me in the gut, repeatedly...during the last Wisconsin drive. They have the know-how and the experience to win those type of games, not to mention the players. That being said, Iowa had the opportunity to win that game, and a few plays turned it around...

    So you are through watching Iowa Football

    My first moment that I realized that I was a Hawkeye fan was in 1976, listening to Z call the upset over Penn state. Since then, I have watched or listened to almost every game. Last Saturday hurt as bad as any loss I can remember, but I still saw hope in what we did against Wisconsin. Does it...

    How triggered will Iowa fans be when Nebraska's new coach humiliates us every year?

    Who is this Husker team you speak of ? Surely you are not speaking of the legendary Nebraska football program that should have won the national title every year since 2002, only to be done in by biased reporting and scandalous referee decisions every year? I thought coach Frost had already...

    Penn State

    What the Hell is going on ? Long ways to go in this game, but I truly thought Penn State would be up by 30 at this point!

    Preview, Prediction: A Lot on the Line for Hawkeyes, Badgers

    Just an opinion here, but I don't think how UNI's QB looked late in the 2nd half mattered a bit. We were up 38-00 at the time, and coach Parker called off the dogs at that point. I'm no expert, but I do think that if we had continued with the same mindset, that UNI would not have crossed...
