Yes, they are solid all around which is what is very dangerous and baffling. What that coach has done in 2 years is unbelievable as he had to reconstruct their O-line again this year. He hit the portal. He has done this at pretty much every prior school as well, turning around teams in the...

Iowa City (North Liberty) Lightening

That's money. You always deliver. Lol.

They still have a lot of room to improve and Iowa has improved as the season's have gone on in the past. I'd rather have Phil figure it out on D & improve than rely on the offense to improve. But, to your point, Iowa has had some issues with special teams, D and O this season so there may be too...

My boys played in the 5A C-ship last year! Give you an idea of the area I'm from.

That game felt to me like the coaches knew going into the game they had a very slim chance to pull off a win so pretty much said "F it". They went off script and let Stanley throw all over and early in downs. They called the fake FG, etc. etc. It seems like they just said "What the hell!" and...

It's just one of those easy blanket statements that one can state to try to sound like making or point and with the chance to shit on a coach.

Yea, that's shitty. I recall when my boys were in their senior seasons worrying and praying they wouldn't get an injury to derail their senior season. Luckily, they did not but having the teams stop in-season is totally out of the players control and just sickening.

Say a kid wants to play at one of these schools. Do they have to enroll to another school that has a program or do some schools take on these kinds of players that don't have a HS team anymore? I presume they would have to enroll but maybe they changed the rules.

Has Iowa's recruiting EVER been this strong? Iowa seems to have 4-5* players frequently visiting. Talk about he CC effect. The run of the Iowa teams those two years is proving to be so valuable.

Yes, small towns are really suffering, and it just continues to get worse every year. They are sad when driving thru or visiting. Everything looks dilapidated, the downtowns are old and need of repair that often times is not worth the costs to try to make a business work. Most store fronts are...

Interesting matchup. Indiana with a very tough first road game so how will they handle the raucous crowd that is on top of them. Not many if any of their players have played in a stadium with the crowd right on top of them. Then Iowa playing a team that seems to be able to score at will and wing...

Did someone say Butterface?

Cauliflower ears are the new "D cups".

Yes, a generational return guy. Maybe not the level of generational but most get my point by meaning a very special player playing a very specialized position. Yes, CC is a generational player in the sport. Not sure I would say Luka Garza is. He may have been for Iowa's program but not in men's...
