    Top 3 Positives / Negatives so far this year

    The Good: Team Defense - Such an change from a year ago. vTech was the only awful D game. Michigan wasn't good, either, though. FT Shooting - Really good this year except for a couple of late game lapses. Ball Distribution - Top of conference in assists. The Bad: Clutch Execution - The...

    Miami at #3

    I think that's what they call a veteran team.

    Interesting insight about Street from clone fans

    My favorite part of that was the over-zealous ambulance chasing UI grad and former QB Randy Duncan suing on behalf of the streets. Priceless!

    Iowa Hoops...there was once a time...

    Perhaps, but that change was a long tourney drought. A lot of folks were clamoring to send Mr. Davis packing. They got their wish. Wonder Boy started with a recruiting bang, but then things got sour real fast. I often think that when institutions try to change who they are, things don't always...

    Anyone catch the fight?

    We had three middle-aged and sober NIU fans sitting behind us. Two rows in front of us were some very drunk 20 something Hawk fans. We are losing 17-9, and our D records a tackle for no gain. One of the Hawk geniuses in front turns and yells at the NIU fans, "That's the difference between...

    PSU: NCAA poised to drop hammer hard

    If it is just a couple schollies and no bowls for a couple years then this is a joke. I really hope there is a little more to it than that. I understand the DP is off the table, and I guess I don't know what else they can do, but this seems like it needs more than the Reggie Bush treatment...

    Dubuque PK Brent Wilker Walking On...

    To quote a former Iowa head coach, "Bo, we don't plan on punting today."

    Injury report?

    I don't have any info other than CJ came back in the game I think.

    Amazing Stat

    Given our clock management, I don't see how we can possibly score or win this week!

    Hypothetical: What if PSU beats OSU

    If we want to go to the BCS it has no impact at all unless the conference completely collapses. In terms of us beating tOSU? I would think tOSU in a drawn out OT game that is very physical would be best for our chances. The Buckeyes are a very good team again, and have really been taking it...

    If the Big Ten was split into divisions this year

    It sure will be fun. Holding Nebby out for now, notice that Wisky and Iowa would control their own destinys to the Champ Game this year. Heck, even with Nebby in there, we still would. In fact, take out Indy and put in Nebby, and if we won out we would be 11-2 and probably ranked in the top 5...

    2/3 thru the season, All Big 10 Teams

    I agree that as of today, AC is not on that list. It doesn't mean he isn't awesome, but the stats aren't really there and that is what the voters look at most of the time.

    Hawks Win Big Ten & No Rose Bowl?

    Correct me if I am wrong, but the Rose is only obligated to take 1 AQ team this year. So if you had a BCS Champ game of MSU vs Oregon, then yes, Iowa could have one more loss and MAYBE make the Rose Bowl. Other than that, I don't think it is happening unless we win out.

    Pass D & Myth Busters

    Good question. Hawk average, which is almost always above average. One other thing that really stands out is how bad the 2005 defense was. I remembered being at games and watching 3rd down after 3rd down being converted against us, but we were using a totally green and undersized line that...

    Pass D & Myth Busters

    A different thread got me looking on the BT Stat's page going back to 2003 (oldest data available). I scribbled down a few notes, and I came up with a couple of numbers that surprised me: Our Pass D is pretty average this year, and the statistics support this belief. I suspect the loss of...

    To Whiskey's credit, they haven't needed to go vertical to score points. When you can run for 5.4 ypc and rush for 24 TD's after 7 games, you don't have to bomb away. But at the same time, note the following stats (B10+1+1) for comparison: RUSHING OFFENSE G Att Yds Avg TD...

    Throwback Arrived!

    Despite my wife's wishes, I have a bunch framed, and a bunch more waiting to be framed. All I have up now are the Warren Holloway and the Ed Hinkle throwback. The Ed Miles and Luke Recker are sitting in the closet right now while negotiations continue...
