So no 6-6, as I predict. OK you compelled me to make a non 6-6 decision. 5-7.

I really like the facts, figures and insights of the game Jon provides. Soundoff needs him! On the other hand Jon needs to do what's best for he and his family. From a selfish standpoint I hope Jon stays with Soundoff for years to come!

My condolences on your grandmothers passing, Jon. She lived a long life.

Jon, with the unfortunate passing of Jim Zabel I'm wondering if you would consider again hosting Soundoff this fall as a tribute to Jim. I think that would be a very nice jesture, Jon. I'm thinking a lot of Jim Zabel fans would call in and talk about his/her favorite memories of Jim's life and...

I was hoping Jim would go another 10 years, at least. I never wanted this day to come. Jim will be missed by many. Iowa sports will not be quite the same without him.

Kind of what I'm thinking. My prediction was UNI by 1. Since the Iowa State disaster I'm changing my prediction to UNI by 10. The score: UNI 23 Iowa 13

If Iowa gets beat by 1 point to UNI it's a BAD loss.

Poor recruiting and attrition is not an excuse for an established program under Ferentz. In my opinion Ferentz just dropped the ball on these issues. He's the head guy and is responsible to field a quality product inspite of off the field set backs. Granted some things were out of his...

I give Iowas defense a B and the offense a D. Defense seems to be coming on and should keep the Hawks in a lot of ball games. James Morris was great! I feel for him in this Iowa State loss. The offense lacks a go to receiver and Vandenberg isn't what I thought he would be after two games...

I think we ought to give Greg Davis a chance. It's only been one game. Let's wait to at least mid season to make an observation and comparing Davis to KOK.

I don't like Iowa State week either. It makes me nervous all week. And I'm certainly not going to like UNI week. The Panthers have absolutely nothing to lose. UNI will play over their heads and loose while collecting a very good payment for playing in Kinnick. Conversely, Iowa has nothing...

Sure seems that way. I used to watch the Kirk Ferentz show regularly. I still do but not very often. A few high lights and no revelations, just a few comments on the game and, as you say, coach speak. As for the other Big Ten coaches shows I watched part of them a couple of times. Pretty...

My thoughts, too. That and Penn State plays at Iowa. Lee Corso thinks Penn State will end the season with a losing record and the first of four straight losing seasons for Penn State. Purdue plays at Iowa too. I think the Hawks take the Boilermakers in Iowa City. Hawks should finish...

Indiana and Northwestern both scare me.

I don't think Penn State should give up football for any length of time as the football program consists of many, many people with a very high percent of them innocent of crimes related to the scandal. I can see certain Penn State administrators both past and present being brought before the...
