1. Iowa offense will be the most productive since 2002 featuring a balance between a strong run game and opportunistic passing to slot receivers and TE. At season-end Total O will be ranked in the top-50. (Basis: Powerful OL, stable of runners, good slot receivers, excellent TEs, QB who throws...

Jon, it would be good if you could align your prediction with the underlying aspects of the Iowa team that (correct me I am reading your post wrongly) obviously horrify you. Is it the Offense (receivers, QB, DL, LBs, scheme on offense..?), Defense (DL, LBs..?) If you step back, I believe you...

According to this analysis, 4 different reasons collaborated to yield the awful passing game of 2012 making it appear that our version of General Montgomery was given a rag tag band of 10 overweight octogenarians to overcome Rommel in his prime. One thing being forgotten here is that after...

I can't think of any unrated early OL commits in the KF era that turned out to be busts.

I am waiting for a press-conference at which KF will say something frank and revealing about the QB selection process, perhaps even admit his past myopia. Something along the lines of "It's not often where this happens, but we're going in really with a truly open mind." That's what it's going to...

Let's say a $200M donor wants to name it in honor of his grandfather. Let us further assume that this hypothetical deceased figure was a humble farmer who did nothing more than toil honorably in obscurity. Kinnick is legend but in such a scenario I agree to rename the stadium. I am cool with it...

With names like Spears and Spearman showing up in first two defensive levels, I could see the prognostication come true in a couple years. Only thing that worries me is the possibility of a Powdermilk in the secondary.

1. Phil Parker has developed a long long list of outstanding contributors (many went on to have solid nfl careers). If he was enthusiastic enough to get this commit in person, it speaks volumes. I am glad we got this guy. 2. Too many authentic blondes in this thread.

The only thing missing was delivery of the damn ball in stride. I watched multiple games (not involving Iowa) this year where receivers were blanketed and the qb would put the ball where the receiver could grab it in stride. Without having to fling himself headfirst into the dirt or contort...

Nice to finally read the entire contract. For some inexplicable reason, Ferentz signed/dated the contract to become effective on 09/02/18, at least appears that way to me. Perhaps that's Iowa's "out". What am I saying though? We love the guy. He is like Bill Clinton. He can do anything, and we...

It's unfair to suggest that Garmon was overrated as a true FR. From what I saw he was the only guy who genuinely (meaning speed) turned the corner for yards. With some seasoning, he could've been a good one. I am disappointed at his leaving. But I do agree, the RB is the least of our worries. In...

Agreed...that's why I would freak out if they offered one (implication would be that the front runner(s) aren't cutting it).

Only Manley has significant receptions. Next is Cotton who had 12 all last year. Seems like a decent position to invest for experience. Now if they offer a JUCO QB this year, I will totally freak out.

The assumption though here (and in Vint's BGHP article) is that a single point of failure did not exist...apparently the horrible outcome was primarily the result of an unholy marriage. If we were to repeat an analysis of the kind you performed but tweak it in some way for red-zone plays...

Didn't see this breaking news posted yet. Figured that HN inhabitants might have thoughts on this.

I actually began listing reasons why KF should quit this year. What I came up with were: 1. Currently still owns a solid reputation. 2. His kids are done playing for Iowa. 3. Already made all the cash in the world. What's a few dollars more if one isn't having fun professionally day to day...

Will we try for a FG?

Hoke is a scholar and a gentleman. Scholar because he is pointing and showing without ambiguity where Iowa needs change, while at the same time demonstrating said changes. Gentleman because he looks like a kind and caring bear.

I think KF will quit at the end of this season. No way he will he endure another year like this. He has made good money already and there is no point in living a miserable life for a few more dollars. Everything points to it. For example, KF has lost a huge amount of hair he has lost this...

Crap of a dog.
