    Iowa at OSU 2024

    November 4, 2017. We will always have November 4, 2017. Unfortunately, this will be October 5, 2024 and we will likely see the reverse - Ohio State 55 - Iowa 24. Except I don't think we can score 24. To end this stream of conscious gibberish, my final thought is Ohio State 42 - Iowa 10.

    Offensive coordinator talks offense

    They are employees of the State of Iowa. The fact that athletic department revenues fund their salaries doesn't change that - because the revenue would otherwise be income to the University of Iowa - a subdivision of the State of Iowa. It's still State of Iowa money whether its from football...

    Predictions for Minny?

    We will be up by 9 at half (16-7) and then do virtually nothing during the second half. Minnesota will score 7 (16-14) and we will have a 2 point lead and the ball with 2 minutes left and not achieve a first down. We will then punt it back to Minnesota with 1:45 left on the clock and then...

    New rule in 2024 cost Iowa big time

    In most circumstances, I would agree with you (and I did watch the entire game - twice). But the problem arises when there isn't even the THREAT of passing. It wasn't even a gamble for ISU - they knew they could sell out on the run and they did. ISU would have had to respect at least the...

    Revoke Xavier and Cade's Scholarships

    We don't even get to that point (the defense giving up 40 yards to allow ISU into FG position) if we get a first down on offense. We ran 3 times into a stacked box. With ZERO threat of a pass, ISU sold out to the run and we had to punt it back to ISU instead of taking a victory knee. The D...

    New rule in 2024 cost Iowa big time

    At the time, I didn't hate the decision to go for 2 in the third quarter. In hindsight, it hurt, but at the moment I was pleased to see Kirk being aggressive and trying to score. After re-watching the game yesterday (it took a day to heal up psychologically), my biggest complaint came from...

    The party is over

    Maybe play a quarterback who can check out of a play when he sees 10 in the box. Maybe empower your quarterback to make that call when he sees the defensive lineup. This feels like we have been bashing our heads against the same wall for 3 years and still expecting the wall to break.

    IOWA B1G Preview

    To take shots down the field, we have to have a QB who can throw down the field. Sounds like consistency on the QB front has been spotty to poor. We've been saying this same thing down in AZ for the last couple of years, but they just can't seem to pull the trigger on anything downfield...

    Alabama since 96 NC opponents

    And, this year, Alabama played Middle Tennessee State and University of Louisiana-Monroe (so far). On November 21, they battle the mighty Charleston Southern Buccaneers. But they are Alabama - where losses don't count against you and strength of your OOC is ignored.

    The Rose Bowl Has Lost Its Luster.

    THIS is exactly why I was against the BCS and against the revised/current playoff system. We have tossed out all "tradition" in exchange for naming a clear National Champion. With the BCS, we didn't even achieve much clarity as to the National Champion. It was just as murky as the prior...

    Nothing describes Kirk better than "pure, unhinged sass."

    Throwback Thursday: UCLA vs Iowa 1981

    Re: *Whew! I would rather lose to UCLA, Arizona State or Arizona than watch Iowa play Illinois State or North Texas. I give Nebraska a lot of credit for scheduling BYU and Miami in their out-of-conference schedule. They may have lost those games, but they are at least putting games on...

    Hat's off to David Johnson

    I'm an Iowa Hawkeye - both an alum and fan - and I live in Arizona. I have season tickets to the Cardinal games (although a Packer at heart) and that is a team that has really improved over the last few years. Having David Johnson here representing the state of Iowa (if not the University) is...

    Legends game - Hawks vs. Panthers

    Personally, I enjoyed the list. The point is that there are a lot of amazing NFL players that have come from Pitt. Fortunately, none of those guys will be on the field on Saturday. I'm an Arizona Cardinals season ticket holder and a big fan of Larry Fitzgerald. He should be in the HOF...
