the fouls were 23 to 17...to compare this game to UNI is just dumb. Unlike UNI, Iowa actually shoots two point field goals. A lot of the fouls drake committed were when we were in transition or attacking the basket. Did we get a few calls...sure, but nothing that is unexpected when you are...

I thought overall a step in the right direction. Drake is decent and we played better defense. I am not sure what Marble did to get into the doghouse. I thought he played pretty well. Next year we need all three sophmores to step up there game. I think White and Ogelsby will be very...

I really hope they called a foul on the play that was in the picture from the article. Gessell was really high on that play though. Better hops than I thought

I think it is multifactorial and depends on the year. I think we have had years after Philibin left where the offensive line just hasn't performed very well. Overall I would say our Qb development has been lacking when you look at the years our senior Qbs have had. Also I would say that in...

CJ Jones and Banks were the two JUCOs that made a big impact for that team.

Except 2002, if the Iowa offense needed to play a good game against a good team they have the vast majority of time tanked. You sum it up right...the ability of the front four on dline is more predictive of success under KF and the current coordinators than the offensive line. And as...

On a year to year basis it would make complete sense from our perspective. Getting one of those teams to play us would put a lot more buts in our seats than playing UNI. Plus the game would probably be picked up nationally rather than the UNI TV network

Here is a piece of advice. If you have to come onto other teams message boards and explain to us how the game benefits us (note I am not saying UNI or the "state of Iowa") well than it probably doesn't. Replacing the home and home with UNI and Drake with a home and home with a Big 12 team...

That doesn't help the problem that we are looking at decreased nonconference games next year. That would mean we play at least 2 games out of Carver. Plus you still have ISU and BIG/ACC game.

We still have a road game with ISU and the Big Ten ACC challenge. If needed you always schedule a home and home with a Big East or Big 12 school.

Anybody want to hazard a guess about how many of our Big Ten brethren play home and home series with directional schools within their state? None. Iowa and ISU relationship with Drake and UNI is very unique and only benefits Drake and UNI. I don't think we should cancel the series...

I agree that just looking at this year the results are not horrible. But the reality is that last year was a huge disappointment and next year we will be lucky to make a bowl game. I believe there needs to be dramatic changes.

Agree about Oklahoma and Mizzou being similar. Difference is we had much more talent last year and we just underperformed. Clearly this year we don't have as much talent. Also Pinkel has a rep of not preparing very well for bowls while I think Stoops will get them ready to play against us.

My thoughts on this team are that when the shots are not falling against decent competition they are just not tough enough to play through it. Nobody steps up and is boarding (Basabe and no center), giving up way to many open looks at 3 etc. The really frustrating part is that we were...

I see major inexperience at PG and center. I see lack of difference makers at the wing in terms of quickness. There should be good depth and height. Overall next year will be struggle just like this year. To compete next year Fran would have had to found a PG for this year that could ease...

I think the reason for the difference is to make offensive players at least think twice about stretching the ball out to score a touchdown. I actually agree with the previous poster...I would like to see the rule changed that in order for an offense to retain possession they have to recover...

I can say this with 100% certainty. With the exception of 2002, whenever a KF/KOK offense has been asked to win a game on the road against even a decent team they will fall short. And no MSU in 2009 doesn't count because we only mustered 15 points that game even with that late drive...

remember this; even compare to other early season cream-puffs Chicago St was terrible. Cartwright's play is concerning. Hopefully he is just suffering from a lack of competition in practice and will get better as the season goes along. Basabe played better than the opener but again not...

It will be very interesting how the line up shakes out. Obviously White is going to have to be on the floor for 30+ minutes a game when the competition ramps up. The weakest position is center but can White fill that against quality teams is the question. Can White, Basabe and Archie play...

it is a really bad sign. I just saw they went 6-26 last year and lost 10 lettermen from that team. Ouch!!! This is the kind of game you hope nobody plays more than 20 minutes.
