    Can't respond to a CJ without using the the 4 letter word (Jake)

    He's going to be a doctor, you know.

    Let this sink in for a minute....

    Yes, there was a lot of bad stuff. We learned that Montee Ball could score a touchdown carrying four Hawks for five yards, seemingly in slow motion.

    Let this sink in for a minute....

    Well put. Wisconsin was forced to fake that punt because to kick it was to, almost certainly, lose. I remember feeling a bit of giddy anticipation that we were getting the ball back with just over six minutes to grind away and a six point lead. We were playing offense pretty well at that...

    ISU pooped the bed....again

    I'm a Hawk fan. I just think we should back off a bit when they actually beat us and acknowledge that, at least this year, their schedule is stacked against them.

    ISU pooped the bed....again

    ISU is a top ten team as far as strength of schedule using the NCAA method. They come in at #7, in fact. We, on the other hand, slot in at a healthy 85th for the 2014 season. Personally, I'd be hesitant to talk smack after losing to them, especially in light of this information...

    Two More Years of Dink-Dunk Rudock

    Commendable. I'd prefer a Quarterback who was going to be an NFL football player, or at least parlay his considerable contributions as a high profile QB- and his honorary Business Mgmt degree- into a sweetheart PR gig in the business world. Rudock has a lot on his plate.

    What are your expectations hence forth?

    By a total margin of 8 points.

    Beathard Rudock Question

    I think the coaches would be doing him a favor. The closest he'll get to an NFL combine is the Field Museum in Chicago and he wants to be a doctor. Nothing wrong with that, really. It's a perfectly good career choice. He's likely one of those guys that has to pile his plate so high that...

    C'mon Man ... It was Purdue

    I don't recall anyone really getting jacked over this one, either. Their QB, Etling? - worse QB I've ever seen in a B1G game. He makes Rudock look exactly like Rodgers. I usually get irritated when the Hawks don't start strong and get strung along by weaker teams. Not this time. I knew we'd...

    Nebraska - Real or Bad Boob Job

    AA really is something special. It also helps to note that their 2nd and 3rd string backs could both be the best RB on some teams in the B1G this year. Imani Cross bulled his way to over 100 this last weekend and has some moves of his own. That said, I think Kenny Bell is the best WR in the...

    A few nice things

    Even when we weren't pulling away, I couldn't see us not being ahead by the end of this thing. Purdue had possibly the worst QB I've ever watched play college football, and the running game was reasonably sound today. I'm in the camp of people who want to see Beathard starting games until he...

    Possible we don't have a 100yd rusher in a game this season?

    Someone will break for a big play or two. Probably not Weisman as he isn't much of a threat in terms of breakaway speed. Canzer will get there.

    B1G not too weak

    Not sure if you could possibly be serious. MSU is the class of the B1G, not that I said anything that could possibly be construed otherwise. Ohio State has athletes, a good record, a favorable schedule (except for being in the same division as MSU), and decent momentum. I'm going to give...

    Let's Cap this evening off with an Illini upset of Nebby

    "If you go at Randy Gregory, he gives up".... Not sure I can agree with that one. I see their 2nd string RB managed to get over 100 yards. Nebby has the running game we wish we had. I think they could lean on Bell and Westerkamp more as deep passing threats but simply refuse since the 123...

    B1G not too weak

    There are some bright spots in the B1G. PSU has certainly lost some lustre, Nebraska seems to be worthy of their top 25 ranking, and MSU and OSU are legitimate contenders as usual. Just because our Hawks make beating weak teams seem incredibly difficult and tedious doesn't mean the B1G is all...

    Question For Ferentz Haters

    That there is a quarterback 'controversy' shows us that it is more important for KF to be in complete control than the opinions of fans, sportswriters and even the results of back-to-back comparisons. The difference between the two QB's isn't huge, but CJ has clearly been stronger in actual...

    Who's watching the game vs Pitt this Sat?

    Every second of every play! I think KF is used up, GD is pretty crap and all of that but I will never forget some of the big battles between these two teams as of late. You never know what will happen at an Iowa/Pitt game. We could come back from 21 down again, or the coach could injure his...

    Brandon Scherff did not quit ... neither am I

    Brandon Scherff is a monster. Love that kid and what he brings to the team! That said, I'm not sure he should have been playing the second half against ISU. I don't want to see Scherff sacrifice his health and jeopardize his career if he is legitimately injured. I'd say that about any of them.
