    Really, Hawks?

    I don't see THAT happening.Illinois has waiting for this game, and could very well dish out a purdue-type massacre, :(

    Is this the PERFECT WINDOW to let go of Fran?

    Speaking of Patrick, what kind of shot does have? It honestly looks like the old set shot from long ago when a jump shot was considered traveling..

    Did anyone listen to Iowa State's News Conference today?

    It's long past time to end this overblown and mean spirited series. I mean really - what Big 10 team have we played for 40 plus years straight? None. The series should never have resumed in 1977. The level of hatred that Iowa State fans have for Iowa is way off the charts. Iowa does NOT...

    Did anyone listen to Iowa State's News Conference today?

    Pollard is an idiot. He' s using the old "So's your old man" argument to try to deflect attention away from the Iowa State thugs..If - as he claims - the Iowa State band is likewise mistreated in Iowa City, then he should provide the evidence (names of Iowa State band members subjected to...

    Iowa vs Iowa State comparison

    It is certainly not impossible. The University of Iowa has PLENTY to offer. When Iowa hired Lute Olson, few people knew who he was. He was a great coach and a fine man. Ralph Miller was coaching when I was at Iowa. No team will ever break the scoring records that team rang up. They were the...

    Back from the game, my take

    Howe: Hawkeyes Let Opportunity Pass Them By at Penn State

    It IS the same story every year. With Ferentz at the helm, Iowa will NEVER take that next step. Can't beat the "Big Boys" when it counts. And Penn State is hardly a "Big Boy" this year. Indiana ran up nearly 550 yards last week against Ped State.. Stanley was absolutely horrible and there is...

    Howe: Memories From Penn State Abuse Case Remain Strong

    Don't let the PSU pervs get to you, Rob. It's a program that makes me want to puke. Nothing but denials, counteraccusations, blaming the victims, and attacking those who dare to point out the despicable immorality throughout various levels of the Penn State administrative hierarchy. . This is...

    Iowa is Wisconsin's B*tch

    That last sentence kind of sums it all up. My take is from the song Aquarius: " When the moon is in the 7th house, and Jupiter aligns with Mars, then peace will guide the planets, and Kirk will piss down his pants.." Meaning just like Sheagle Hawk said - the game was set up for Iowa to take...

    Reminded why I hardly care anymore.

    Boring program for sure. No argument there. It's really hard to watch that "offense." But there was another almost equally boring team on display last night. Watching Wisconsin is like watching paint dry. It's the same thing year after year - recruit big 800 lb linemen and run for 4 yards and...

    The Fran Conundrum

    I TRULY hope you are right about next year. My concerns: 1. Slow afoot 2 Bad defense (we all know that) 3. No point guard (we all know that) 4. No improvement. I imagine every B1G team has us solidly in the Win column. 5. Team seems lethargic and unfocused 6. If...

    This team will not be a .500 team

    Whoa, whoa, whoa. I was a sophomore at Iowa during that time and never missed a home game. I also attended the Mideast Regional games against Jacksonville and Notre Dame that March. Greatest offensive college basketball team of all time - Fred Brown, Chad Calabria, Glenn Vidnovic, John Johnson...

    Sunday morning QB - toned down

    Wisconsin allowed the fewest number of yards in a Big 10 conference game its HISTORY. That goes back to 1896.. There is nothing more that need be said about the direction of the Iowa football program.
