To my own surprise, yesterday's loss (which I didn't find as unexpected as some) while disappointing might yet prove the turning point that leads to an excellent season. Some observations from yesterday will provide the rationale. While the dl got hashed in the 4th, this is not a bad dl...

This game worries me. 11am kickoff, KF's saying all the right things but I expect to see a lethargic Iowa to start the game. Ndsu will show very different looks for sure and play hopped-up ball. I'm anticipating a boise-alabama type game. 31-24 type score, hopefully for the Hawks.

I haven't watched the Bison before but generally speaking, everybody seems to opine that their offense is of the Iowa/Wisky/MSU type. That said, I have the feeling they have gameplanned differently for this Saturday. NSDU per their fans was supposed to have their best team ever this year, yes...

I am currently researching this site and should be enjoying the results by this time tomorrow.

Agreed. Ferentz is worth his salary but that buyout is nuts. KF has now redoubled his grip on Iowa's proverbial nuts. If his performance drops off drastically in the years prior retirement, one can only hope that the next guy can make a baby out of the few swimmers remaining in Iowa-FB's ...you...

It's almost certain that Mends just recovered from a minor but undisclosed injury. The Captain alludes to a couple recently recovered guys getting in for a bit while scheel didn't (even though he too could have.) One of the couple guys who saw just a bit of action is likely mends.

The boy came in carefree with long blonde hair, no reponsibilities, and a brash mouth. He left a man with an office haircut and a baby. Iowa did that, it did, and still does. --top of the charts country music song in 2017

Reid's departure hasn't received the attention it probably deserves. Not sure how many experts factored it into their season predictions...I know I didn't.

I see Iowa being favored (at least in my own mind) in every game, possibly even the CCG. But it will come down to fearless play and coaching. So my predictions with caveats-- 1. Old Kirk's resurgence will produce 1 OOC loss and 2 regular season for a 9-3 record and underdog status in the CCG...

1. Kirk is a financial genius. His ensures that contract negotiations occur at the conclusion of superlative seasons. 2. Lessons from seasons past indicate that Kirk when distracted by non-field related things (even in the offseason) delivers crappy w-l records. I just hope they wrap this up...

Nebraska, NU, Illinois, Wisky in that order because that's my ranking of of division champ threats to Iowa. There's a good chance of the need to win a tie-breaker, so division games are paramount. Michigan will be a nice feather but if we have to play them twice, it's the second one that really...

Spievey would've more than made up for every misfortune and circumstance the hawks encountered that season. There's little doubt at least from my viewpoint that his presence would've helped to circumvent every loss that year.

Gotta throw Stanzi also in there. Even though Long might own the top spot by virtue of stats accumulated over 5 years and heisman runnerup, KF's guys will compete well. I would rank Long, Banks, CJ (even if he is a bust in 2016), Stanzi as the top 4.

This post is not about knocking Fry because I do believe that he brought the all-important winning attitude to Iowa football. That said, I also watched a serious decline in Iowa football after the departure of Matt Rodgers. The trick plays that Fry is apparently so famous for, I never got to see...

He maybe a walkon but ever since Snyder arrived on campus he has received as much or more hype than most of our 4-stars. So expectations are justifiably high.

In this case, I woulda preferred being wrong but there is this problem. These are the games KF should be forced to watch in the offseason so we don't have relive such moments.

Correct me if i'm wrong but if KF manufactures a win this year against ISU, it would be the first time he succeeds in his first attempt against a ISU coach.

Had forgotten about Reid's loss...makes me slightly less optimistic about the upcoming season. Perhaps OT for this thread but what's Iowa's plan to compensate for Reid?

"He won’t come out because I think he’s afraid he’s going to lose his job. I think at times he was in a lot of pain." It would appear that Wiegers could be as good as Rudock was.

On a cell ph, so excuse brevity and typos. I know what u r saying but disagree with the fatalistic premise. First, Bama or Clem would not have rammed Iowa any worse than the trees. Also I daresay the Stamford game was not representative of a typical iowa-stan matchup...things snowballed yielding...
