Palmer scored points way to fast for Lick to play him. Just one of the very curious decisions Lick made to go along with zero personality and ability to keep what players he did have happy.

I hope you are right but Nebraska didn't sell out last year even with 8,000 Nebraska fans in attendance. That was after Thanksgiving and students didn't have to buy that game so that may have been an anomaly. I bet Western Mich won't be close to a sell out if we lose to ISU again.

The arguement to that is if going into a year if there is some hope, that you buy tickets before the season starts weather it is single game or season tickets. As the season wears on if you had to do it over again you wouldn't buy them but you are stuck with them because you could only probably...

No team can survive on the ground unless the Qb is also a threat to run (see NW against us last year). In KF style of offense (which is below average throughout his career by any standard) we need the threat of the deep ball or an oline that every single snap all 5 guys kick the crap out of...

I know this will get some back comments but KF is running off most of his black assistants. Only Woods is left. Know of course coaching is th most important thing but for most black players at least having some black coaches on the staff I would think is important. Most staffs are very...

You can say things like this but the fact remains that Ferentz has lost it. He had his success early in his career based on hiring Joe Phillibin and a healthy Norm Parker. Now he is simply striking out on his hires for assistant coaches because a top flight upcoming assistant simply won't want...

Agree with this but a couple other reasons 1. Fran said Gabe and Mel play better together. Woodbury needs a shooter to create space and allow for kick outs which ZM provides. 2. Mel is very prone to early fouls and this will hopefully allow the game to settle in and actually allow him...

Just another example of poor scheme. Nico Law should have been inserted and been very active in run support by mixing up pressure off the edge and up the middle. Make them change when it became obvious you couldn't handle Colter with the front 7. Again another example of Iowa's defense...

agreed. If we had Schreff, rogers and weisman with a healthy Bullock we might have a chance. Since we don't we have virtually no chance. Imagine that...virtually no chance against indiana in football.

I didn't mean it to be mean as I thought Alvis had promise last year but this year he has had games where he just disappears. I am hoping he can finish out the year without major injury this year and regroup and get stronger for his senior year

I would be more excited about Ott if he would have seen the field 3 games ago. Basically this was a case of McMinn being hurt, Spears hasn't been able to contribute all year because of various injuries and Ganglione being nicked up. Thus there was literally no one else. I think Ott needs to...

agree with this. It appeared very obvious that the lack of talent at def end and WR was going to surface this year and next year. However they haven't been able to find any transfers or JUCOS that can help bridge the gap until younger players are ready to contribute.

David Raih maybe a great coach someday but inbreeding in the coaching world is in general very bad. See Kaz. Ferentz is too loyal to the people around him.

Don't disagree but nothing in college football is 100%.

It is not as tough to be successful at Iowa as made out to be. Regularly beat the poor teams you should with only rare losses. ISU, NW, Minn, Ill, Indiana apply most years. Schedule at least 2 cream puffs and win these 95% of the time. Compete with the midlevel Big Ten teams and win about...

That is the frustrating part...KF doesn't adjust year to year to his talent. With even modest adjustments making Iowa slightly less predictable on offense he could take some of those teams to great things. Allow your superior talent (as documented by NFL draft) to beat inferior oppontents. Or...

We landed on the moon...that is great. J/K. I actually missed it in the game because it was only for 3 plays but read about it at length afterwards. Knowing ferentz I bet he hardly plays unless Alvis gets hurt.

Agree with this...better is very relative. We maybe marginally better in terms of talent but the coaching schemes remain the same. I hope we see something different but 14 years is a lot of data to bet on that it won't happen.

Ott should be getting 50% of snaps from here on out (we will be lucky if he gets a series a game). It would be nice if Spears got some reps as well. Also against Indiana we should be rotating our linebackes especially Alston. Finally our base defense should be switched to include 3...

I disagree about the team being better next year. We keep hearing about all the young players in the two deeps but non of them are playing. We are still playing Steve Bigach, Tom Donatell, JVB, James Ferentz and Castillo. I am not saying these guys shouldn't be playing but the fact at this...
