Look, I am mad too, and the national joke Brian Ferentz and offense have become is beyond pissing me off. But, hear me out. We have mostly played to the competition. We are pretty much what I thought we would be. We handled two home cupcakes with relative ease, and beat a not completely...

I agree with this. Has Graves name even been called by an announcer this year? I was expecting him to be the next Nixon. Overall, the DL has been good, but nothing close to great. I have been impressed with the LBs. Secondary has been fine to really good, but the DL has to get better if...

I am not sure who duped who. Cade has not been the QB I was promised (promised by who you say? Well, no one). I am of the view now that Cade is a lot closer to Petras than he is to the QB I thought he was. These guys dominated in high school and Cade was great at Michigan. But, when you are...

All the breaks and calls went against Iowa in the first half against PSU. The second half was just a donkey kick. Iowa is due a couple breaks. At home, against a bad team, I suspect Iowa puts on a much better performance. We have seen KF's teams come back from serious ass whoopings and...

midseason termination at HC or OC don't tend to work out well for that year. Ask Nebbie and Wisky. I think you just ride out the season and see where things go. Based upon the schedule, D and Specials, Iowa could still win 9 games despite BF's ineptitude. Why F up this season now. Fire...

No, but its great to keep up with everyone's day to day. I am in Phoenix for work this week. It sure is hot. Probably run to CVS in a bit to buy some toiletries.

What's the old adage, any press is good press? I mean, it sucks to be nationally relevant for something like this, but people are talking about Iowa football I guess. Every week its Colorado/Prime, Saban is done, and Brian Ferentz..... If Iowa continues to win, and BF covers the spread, this...

I would think our D would take a small hit this weekend statistically. But, we still have Minny, NW, Illinois, and Nebbie to skew things positively on D. MSU and Purdue are not exactly lighting the world on fire either.

Beth. Please. Shitcan your predecessors dumb contract provision. You can still fire BF is you want to at the end of the season. But, look like the adult in the room. Remove the provision. And put out a statement that you don't need an arbitrary provision to determine BF's future with the...

And Iowa is not the only team whose D and Specials can score points. If you made me bet I would take Iowa and the points, but this is not a game I would bet.

I think the OL is clearly improving. They are already ahead of where they were last year. Well ahead. We appear to have found a competent RT and the rest of OL seems to be gelling a bit. We only played 6 guys, so there is a rotation at LG and the rest seem cemented in. I thought KF would...

You cannot overstate the injury factor. It cost him the last 2 weeks of camp and game week prep. Think of how many hundreds of reps in practice he did not get against a great D. He is still working into game shape and condition. Second, his mobility is clearly hindered. The one time he took...

I wasn't tracking with you. I follow now. And I agree with your separate point.

I am not sure what you are driving it here, but I think comparing the West to OSU and Michigan proves the point. The last time we played those teams they put up pinball numbers against our D (with the help of our O's incompetence). Despite the skewed games against the powers of the East, we...

I agree with your overall point of not being able to ever win with some folks. There is always a reason to hate. But in fairness to your last stat, the Big Ten West is so putrid in offense across the board that it does not surprise me that it produces some of the best defenses. Its not hard...

That's football!!

If Iowa had thrown over the top, I could see some room for criticism. But, we were playing all backups and running our base run package to get reps to second and third stringers. I have seen KF do that before. And, given the fragile nature of our QB, getting some snaps to his backup seems...

While it would not shock me to see a slugfest that Iowa pulls out with a late field goal, I think Iowa will need multiple breaks to win this one. A couple explosive offensive plays, multiple TOs by PSU, and a score from D or Specials. While I don't think it will happen, an Iowa win here would...

Xwampa is taking some bad angles and peeking into the backfield. The touchdown this last game was not the corner's fault. He should have had safety support over the top. Even if you look at the INT he had in the first game, he initially misread the coverage and was fortunate the pass came out...

I have no problem with Iowa letting its back ups actually run the offense. If you don't like it, stop them. Also, we pay these scrub teams like a million bucks to come here for these cupcake games, so they can take it like a man and shut the F up. I think Iowa tries to score regardless of the...
