So if Kelly's daughter goes away to college, is allegedly raped by a football player and then kills herself, and the player gets to play all season because the coach says he can't do anything and "it's a university matter," then he won't have any problems with that decision? I maintain that...

He's scum because one of his players was alleged to have sexually assaulted someone, and his reaction was to throw up his hands, say "It's a university matter" and play the kid all season. I know no coach and no university is perfect, but you have to make a choice, whether you're going to do...

This, on top of the video guy's death that he was at least partly responsible for, should make it tough for him to keep his job. Unfortunately, I think at that school, the loss to Tulsa is much more damaging to his job security than a couple of dead students that he has left in his wake.

Re: Ferentz 7-23 in games 5pst or less... last year was the only good year for close Too bad no one on here has access to Ferentz during the weekly press conferences. Oh wait ... how about it, Jon? Are you a journalist or a cheerleader?

Just like we have superior talent and depth as compared to Indiana and Northwestern.

I remember reading the company line on here the last few weeks how hard it is to win on the road in the Big Ten. But Ohio State had less trouble winning at Kinnick than Iowa did winning at Northwestern (obviously) and (winless in the Big Ten) Indiana. I wonder what the company line will be...

Thanks, tm. I haven't seen where he's admitted to being wrong, but I sometimes stay away from the board after losses like we've had, so it would have been easy for me to miss. I was talking more about the phrasing, where admitting he's wrong is equal to "giving any more blood". To me, that's...

Agree 100 percent, Walker. I'm not saying this team had a "national championship or bust" look to it, but go back to August, and would any Iowa fan have been at all OK if you told them we would have a 7-4 record going into the final game? That's saying nothing of how the losses have all...

How hacked-off would you be if you had seats in the right-field bleachers, where you will be guaranteed to not be anywhere close to any touchdowns? At least you can look up and see it on the videoboard ... oh, right. The Big Ten office is getting hammered on this one, and they should be. To...

This is more a question of procedure, but I think I'm not the only one who is curious about this ... Jon, do you have the freedom to level any honest criticism you have at the coaching staff or others affiliated with the University? Is there any pressure, stated or implied, that you being...

I think with Boise State, it's not that they are overrated, but that there's no way to tell how good they are because of their schedule. They may be outstanding. They may be just pretty good (and very overrated), but we don't have a lot of evidence to point to either way. I would vote for...

Not to speak for HawkeyeScott, but he seemed to be correcting you on how the process works. He seemed to be pretty clear on what he was getting at. Maybe I shouldn't be surprised a Missouri fan couldn't follow ... You said initially that Missouri never applied for admission to the Big Ten...

It's all just sour grapes for Missouri and their fans. If Missouri was invited to join the Big Ten, they would be here with bells on, trashing the Big 12 all the way. But instead, their fans are stuck running to other teams' message boards to trash Nebraska. They know the Big Ten doesn't want...

I think Kelly knew exactly what was going on, but didn't care. Same with Swarbrick, who came out the next day and said something about how the conditions weren't extraordinary, until this sudden gust of wind came out of nowhere. Unadulterated bull. They were both present when the kid fell...

Agree 1,000 percent. If Nebraska is arrogant, at least they've got reason to be. With Missouri, I've never been around a fanbase as delusional and obnoxious as they are, with little reason to be. They play a crap nonconference schedule, had marginal success in two of the weakest (top to...

I don't think you're a terrible planner and I think you are a good person for trying to do something nice for your husband before he ships out. But to call others scum because they wouldn't cave in and give you a huge discount on the prices they were getting for tickets is silly. Sometimes...

Obviously the "personifies the Hawkeye team" is all that the NFL scouts are looking for, so Stanzi will be a first-rounder for sure! And obviously Kellen more is not a determined worker, so you've sold me. On the original list, it looked like Auburn's QB was third. They've played a tougher...

Not to pick nits, but he isn't the nation's leading passer. You may not think Boise State plays anyone quality (and I don't, either), but that doesn't mean you can just say that Stanzi is the nation's leading passer because you won't consider this other guy at all.

So what should be the alternative? Should the University not sell as many season tickets as they can so single-game seats will be available? Should we build a 200,000-seat stadium so anyone can get face-value tickets at any time? If that's your answer, then how much are you willing to pony up to...

It sounds like you would have bigger fish to fry, given the layoff and unemployment thing, than to worry about making a 6-hour drive and trying to get a good deal from a scalper for a college football game. Maybe it's just me, but I love the Hawks as much as anyone I know, but if my wife was...
