Iowa should reach out to whomever is now the 2nd team Left Tackle for Alabama and offer up whatever deal Proctor was going to get

I know academics isn't really a concern any longer in major college sports, but how does the start of 2nd semester impact transfers? I assume both Alabama and Iowa (as well as any other D1 school) have already started 2nd semester, so at this point would Proctor have to stay to finish the year...

What if he pulls a Jimmy Chitwood and says he only comes to Iowa if Brian F. stays, Brian goes then he goes.

I thought the 6th year seniors using a covid year, didn't count towards scholarship limits. Or was that just a one-time 2021 thing?

Don't have any idea if he'd be interested, but Paul Chryst makes a ton of sense. He runs the exact offense that Kirk likes (ball control, power running, uses TE's), it's just that his Wisconsin teams did it much better than Iowa does. If Kirk would think that Chryst's offense is too...

The NIL has become just a signing bonus to attend that school, and I'm OK with that. I was recently tailgating in the lot attached to Carver before a football game, and we saw a prominent basketball player drive off in a new Lexus SUV and saw what I assume was a wrestler drive off in a new BMW...

Ferentz loses to a coach filling in for Fitz who was fired for ordering code reds on players. And Parker will probably lose ass't coach of the year to Moore at Michigan because he's getting praise for filling in for Harbaugh who was suspended for 6 games this year.

I agree that I don't understand why everyone thinks teams like Iowa are going to drop into the basement when these 4 PAC schools enter the BIG. Comparing 2023 schedule to 2024, Iowa replaces Penn St, Rutgers, Illinois & Purdue (3-1 record) with Ohio State, Washington, UCLA and Maryland (Assume...

Three of Iowa's rivals (Neb, Wis, Minn) are sitting on 5 wins. There is a chance that 1 maybe 2 of them miss out on a bowl game this year. Which of the three would you rather see not get to 6 wins? For me it's Minnesota just because of the fair catch BS.

Iowa is ranked more for TV matchup perception, not that they are really the 22nd best team in the country. Assuming Iowa wins the next 3 games and make the BIG championship. It's better if that matchup has a ranked West champion. Plus, Iowa would be in line to play an SEC team (Ole Miss) is...

I would love to see him come out and give a Mike Gundy type rant. "I'm a man! Brian is a good kid that did nothing wrong, etc., come after me, I'm 60+" But I assume a lot of monotone non-committal answers and a lot of we're just focused on NW, etc.

I agree that the offense is the reason for the loss. Even after the review, Iowa only had to go 25 yards to kick the game winning field goal. However, I still think this review is BS. 1. No one watching the game even consider the possibility that anything 'illegal' occurred, that includes...

The Las Vegas bowl sounds great until you see that it's on December 23rd. Would be a tough sell to convince the wife that we should skip family Christmas' to take the kids to Vegas instead.

A good gamble for SMU. If they can be competitive in the ACC, then when the league ultimately gets raided by the SEC & BIG Ten, I would think SMU being in Dallas would be as attractive as schools like Wake, BC, Pitt, Syracuse, Louisville, GA Tech, etc. I would think the BIG would love to have...

With 18 teams, I assume the schedule for 2024 and beyond (or at least until they expand to 20) will only have 1 protected team for each school and rotate the other 16 every other year. I think Iowa will be matched with Nebraska, as Minnesota/Wisconsin will want to be matched together...
