He has watched different tape than I have. They gave Michigan a scare and then last week went into Minnesota and had The Goofers against the ropes and lost by a FG. Their record is bad, but they sure look like a team fighting for their coach. If you cannot give a guy three years, you get what...

Wisky announced yesterday that Fickel was coming back. So, that's a no. Michigan State would be foolish to pull the trigger this quickly on Smith. Those kids are still fighting and playing hard. But, I do agree that level of coaching position is probably the right fit for Fitz. Second or...

As I noted above, there was no evidence that Fitz had any knowledge of the hazing, and that was confirmed by the investigation. I don't know that he has been fully exonerated, as some really bad shit happened within his program while he was HC, but I think he is definitely in a place where...

You obviously have not spent a lot of time in "the NW" or looked at Oregon's roster. There are like 6 kids from the Midwest. A lot of California, AZ, Oregon and Hawaii on that roster. I am not saying that they are going to melt in the rain like a god damn witch from Oz, but there is an...

Holy Dated Article, Batman!!! 2015?

No way to solve this debate. But, it is fun to applaud and appreciate both. Fry took us from the ashes and made us a second tier conference team that was nationally relevant from time to time. KF inherited a mess as the closet was pretty bare when he took over, and within three years had us...

Yes and no. I agree that all the players experience the same weather. But, this is Iowa weather. Our kids have much more experience with this type of cold ass, rainy, windy conditions. Its also our field. Presumably our trainers and kids will have a better sense of the right cleats. Our...

This is the type of dumb thread that should just be locked and deleted. Right along with: "Anyone hear if _____________ is transferring?" "Should Iowa consider leaving the Big10?" "Do you think Urban Meyers would take the Iowa job?" "Let's discuss Brian Ferentz some more."

The rankings were pretty fair as far as I am concerned. I don't give two shits about ND other than I actively root for them to lose against everyone except Nebraska, but they have had some legit games. This will all sort itself out, but the Committee tends to be a little more color blind to...

If Hadensly is right, and he could come back for one more year, which I think is still very much up in the air, I suspect we could throw NIL money at him that maybe mirrors his rookie deal, but it would have to be around million bucks to match what say a fourth rounder would make. If I was this...

Thanks, Fry. Looking at this closer, they did give a blanket exception for this year while they appeal. Generally, courts allow organizations to set their own standards and eligibility standards as long as they are not discriminatory based upon protected classes. But, I agree with you the...

This is not true. Yet. One kid got a favorable ruling on this point, but it was not a nationwide injunction nor has the NCAA changed its position. As of now, absent a court order, JUCO years do count towards your eligibility. BTW, the basis for the ruling was stupid and I doubt many judges...

Bad weather favors us. They throw a lot. They are faster than us. We want a slow track and a fight in a phone booth with those West Coast softies.

Dude, way to kill the vibe on this thread with this yawn fest.....

The fact that Rhule fired his OC a third of the way through the season, and hired Holgerson after he had been on campus for a total of 8 days speaks not only to how good an OC Holgerson is, but also that Rhule is a damn good CEO. If your organization is not in a position to succeed because of a...
