    Updated Iowa St Football Helmets..This one's a Doozy!

    They used those helmets at a "Junior Day" recruiting function this past weekend. I can't confirm for sure, but I know a few kids who are from the "515" held up those helmets, so I have a feeling the 515 was more about the recruits, rather than Iowa State bragging about being from the 515.

    Iowa fans need to start being realistic.

    I don't mean to single you out, as really I'm just using your post as a response to a common theme on this board. You state up above, "Stanley's fear or reluctance of throwing the ball...." I disagree 100%, and I've disagreed every time I see someone bag on one of our QB's throughout their...

    Elite WR talent in our backyard

    Yeah, I don't actually think his time is slow. You're spot on about 40 times...most of them are hand timed, whereas his time is an official time. Here is a great recent example of hand times; we were at a track meet about a month ago and all the times were hand timed...surprisingly, all the...

    Elite WR talent in our backyard

    You're exactly right here...there are things that go on for these kids that we have no clue about. Granted, with this kid attending combines, etc. it seems as though he wants to play football. However, Iowa is known for doing their work before blindly making offers based on some combine...

    Elite WR talent in our backyard

    One more quick comment, since I saw the post about checking Andregg's stats on the quikstats track website, and alluding to Rob's comments. A lot of these football guys that are running track are just that...football players running track. Football players need to be able to run fast for...

    Elite WR talent in our backyard

    Well at the risk of eventually outing myself here, I've started to follow the college recruiting scene a little more heavily due to having a son that wants to play college football. What I've discovered so far, at least if you are from the state of Iowa, is that it's pretty difficult to make P5...

    4 years, 36 wins is that good?

    Using your reasoning, since 2011 here are the only "complete and total successes" as Big Ten coaches: --Failure Mark Dantonio (2010 Bten champ, but no BCS, so he's a failure) --Failure Bret Bielema (2010-2012 Bten champ or co-champ, but lost all three rose bowls so he's a failure)...

    Story: The Mystery of Noah Fant’s Usage Remains Hot Topic with Hawkeyes

    That's fair. I think if we had won these last three games, this would be far less of an issue and Kirk wouldn't be answering these questions to begin with, so there's that.

    Story: The Mystery of Noah Fant’s Usage Remains Hot Topic with Hawkeyes

    Why would the entire team be pissed? Because of losing games? Maybe I guess, but when you're a team, you generally don't buy into the hype of a single guy making the team. In this case, we all can obviously see that Noah could be on the field making a difference, but for the players, next man...

    Story: The Mystery of Noah Fant’s Usage Remains Hot Topic with Hawkeyes

    I think the obvious thing that we're all glossing over is the simplest explanation, which still bears out this week with the recent suggestions that Noah is still a first round pick. His metrics (vertical leap, 3-cone, etc) aren't going to change much, therefore this season has minimal impact...

    A Picture Says a Thousand Words

    Over the past 20 year period, there have been a total of 11 schools that have won national championships, and during that same period, 14 different coaches have won National Championships. It is difficult to do, even when you are a blue blood. Of the schools on this list, I would consider...
