Kirk's turd sandwich was his son, that he refused to fire as Offensive Coordinator. That action alone disqualifies Kirk from any Coach of the Year consideration. And it took an acting Athletic Director to do the obvious action and fire Brian Ferentz.

Iowa defense in 2014 was ranked 22nd nationally. Iowa defense in 2023 is ranked 5th nationally. Iowa offense in 2014 was ranked 66th nationally. Iowa defense in 2023 is ranked 133rd nationally at 238.8 yards/game. Team #132 (Kent State) has 270.4 yards/game. Iowa matches up well vs. Tennessee...

Phil had to go against 2 offenses every game. The opposing team's offense and Brian Ferentz's offense.

The last 4 wins for Iowa in Madison were: 2015, 2009, 2005 and 2003. 2015 Iowa team: 12-2 (Finished the season ranked #9) 2009 Iowa team: 11-2 (Finished the season ranked #7) 2005: Iowa team 7-5. (Finished unranked. This was the Mitch King game.) 2003: Iowa teams 10-3 (Finished the season...

Brett McMurphy posted the NBC B1G TV schedule, on July 26th, unless CBS or FOX flexes a game from them. Millionaire Mel on NBC for 4 games. Iowa on the first 3 Saturdays in October, including a night game vs Purdue. Ohio State on here twice. Michigan and Penn State on here, once. Iowa TV...

Penn State's 1st team offense was getting beat by the Penn State 2nd team defense in their Spring Game. Yes, it's only the Spring Game and there is plenty of time until late September. However, many Penn State fans couldn't wait to move on from Sean Clifford. But, in 2021, we saw Penn State...

I'm 52, live about 35 minutes from downtown Nashville, and will probably watch the game at home. I've followed the team to multiple Outback Bowls, both Sun Bowls, Orange Bowl, Alamo Bowl, Citrus Bowl and Rose Bowl. There is little buzz for this bowl game, as Kurt wasted an elite defense this...

Brian Ferentz could not care less, as long as the check is being signed he is happy. Brian Feretz is a coward for letting Petras face the media and critics alone. I’m sure Spencer Petras knows his limitations and will do well in life because of that awareness. Kirk, on the other hand, has a...

Tennessee Governor, Bill Lee, announced he is limiting holiday gatherings to no one outside of families’ immediate households and all public indoor gatherings will be limited to 10 people. The Iowa football team is showing up the night before the game. Probably no Hawkeye Huddle.

I'm from Muscatine and have lived in the Nashville area, since 2000. Any other year, this would be a great year to visit Nashville, but the Mayor of Nashville, John Cooper, is an awful human being the way he has deliberately sabatoged small businesses, travel and restaurant industry. Here some...

The B1G agreeing to play in the Pinstripe Bowl is almost, but not quite as bad as Legends and Leaders.

We have just finished Season 10 with Fran. After the first 5 seasons, I thought we would do more than just 2 First Round NCAA wins. I'm also old enough (49 years of age), to remember the up-and-down Alford years and the pit of despair years under Lickliter. Not calling for a coaching change...

Mel Tucker instantly becomes the 4th highest paid B1G coach behind Harbaugh, Braum and Franklin?! Wow! You could argue that Michigan State is the worst coaching job right now, but throwing that kind of coin seems crazy, especially getting a head coach who has done little the past 22 years...

USC is starting to look like a dumpster fire. This Wednesday for the 2020 recruiting class, Southern Cal will be ranked 80th. Toledo, Northern Illinois and Georgia State are 77, 78 and 79. This should be a game that Iowa dominates, ala Georgia Tech Orange Bowl, but the score will be close. Iowa...

Last year's Holiday Bowl had Gus Johnson and Joel Klatt in the booth. Best college football broadcasting team, by far. Iowa is going to the Holiday Bowl in San Diego. They named it San Diego, which of course, in German, means a whale’s vagina.
