    R.I.P. Coach Norm Parker

    Damn - loved coach Parker. An amazing teacher, and the results were fantastic. Just thinking of that fat man calling defense on the side line and shaking his arms and fists (no doubt the signal for 4-3 cover 2) - makes me smile. Thank you coach and blessings to your family.

    Brandon Scherff

    2014 NFL Draft: Scherff latest star on Iowa offensive line - CBSSports.com While it hurts to have players leave a year early - as they obviously have talent, it is ultimately good for the program. Think about recruiting left tackles after this and being able to say to recruits "The last three...

    Im Tired

    If you are that tired, go find a pine box and lay down. No one has to apologize for what happened today. And anyone who thinks we were badly outcoached in the second half needs to watch the first half. OSU had 3 possessions (not counting the kneel down on the last play), they scored twice...

    Were the best 4 teams in the NCAA from the SEC this year?

    Would you favor all of those teams against Texas A&M or Georgia? I'd replace OSU and KSU with those two. Oregon is solid and fun to watch, but I think they would have their hands full with these teams.

    Were the best 4 teams in the NCAA from the SEC this year?

    Fair enough, but if you look at the entirety of the season, and not an uninspired bowl game performance - they are right there.

    Were the best 4 teams in the NCAA from the SEC this year?

    I've generally looked at SEC's run of championships and believed that they had 1 or 2 exceptional teams in any given year, but the rest of their teams were elevated simply by association even though they weren't all that great. In watching the bowl season and taking into account the totality of...

    Kirk Ferentz era All Star team vs. 2012-2013 BCS Alabama team

    howdy to answer your question about how many of them were top 25 at their position - they all were as they were drafted into the NFL as such. I don't dispute Alabama is excellent, but this isn't really even a question. With the exception of QB and WR, the Iowa roster is nearly all top 3 round...

    Fran's ego

    I think a lot of posters need to get out of there oversensitive skirt worlds and realize we are talking about 18-22 year old young men - quite possibly the most confident group of human beings on the planet. In addition to their natural tendency to have confidence beyond their ability, this...

    Pick a play, name the play, describe the play

    The "Davis Comma Greg" 3rd and 5 at the 35 going in - 4-wide with everyone running 4 yd curls. JVB hits LB in the back after locking onto KMM. KF leaves the troops on the field getting to the line with 5 seconds left on the play clock, JVB reads defense, checks to the same set of curl routes...

    Predictions... IA vs. Indiana

    27 - 14 Indiana. We go more conservative (I know this stretches the limits of the human mind - like lights inability to escape a blackhole...) and shorten the game to take out some possessions. Indiana neutralizes our best weapon M. Meyer by giving up a kick return touchdown and a HR to Bullock.

    Tomorrow will tell us a lot about this team

    This is an inconsistent team, with some serious holes - I don't know what could happen tomorrow that would change that evaluation. I hope the defense plays great and gives us a chance to win. But, we could win by 3td's tomorrow and I would feel no more confident about the next game than I do...

    Hawkeye Gamefilm: Offensive Line vs Penn State

    It's a developmental thing that will get better with time, but the guards are really struggling with DT's crossing their face right now. It's allowing a lot of penetration on run downs, and it is evident with basic line stunts and slants in pass situations. It was obvious that PSU was well...

    When you run a for-profit/pro-style program

    UIHawk, I actually agree with you on not booing players - I don't do it even at pro games. But I recognize at NFL games that this will be part of the experience even if I don't choose to participate. I think big-time college football has reached that same place, and thus we don't need to call...

    When you run a for-profit/pro-style program

    I understand the sentiment golfer, there is a bit of the shine taken off the whole concept if you accept this line of thinking. I would however point out that what I wrote above was not to silence those who would comment on the actions of other fans, but rather point out that some are being...

    When you run a for-profit/pro-style program

    Can't comment on the seventies, born in 79. I think you are confusing my argument regarding the backlash after the PSU loss and what is just unacceptable in the general civilized society (i.e. cheering for injuries, throwing garbage on the field, making light of Sandusky, etc...). Is booing...
