Does Alford know this?

...and it definitely paid off today. I like what he is building. It will take time and we will have some disappointment along the way, but the guy is a great coach of the game and UIowa should be proud to have him as our coach.

Plenty of coaches have left Iowa and done just fine. Snyder, Stoops, Stoops, McCarney, Alvarez, Beilema, I am sure this guy will do just fine and so will Iowa without him. I just don't see much of a need to turn on the guy. I just hope we can start recruiting a lot better. I used to think...

Our talent is poor, but don't they I'm giving the coaching staff a "pass" on this. They are responsible to recruiting sufficient talent to Iowa each year and they have failed the past few years, as the cupboard was very bare this year. Too many kids from Humboldt, Solon, Kalona, Keokuk DM...

...and a lot of them. This year's talent level was far off from where Iowa FB has been and I find the upcoming month of recruiting as one of the more crucial recruiting season's we've had in a long time.

With our coaching staff, does anyone really feel the least bit confident that JVB will improve next year and utilize this talent we claim he has?!? KOK does not seem to foster talent over the course of a QB's career. One thing was glaringly obvious last night: we need to upgrade our talent...

A GM "thinking highly of him" and putting their GM job security on his back are two different things. A lot of guys are considered in high regards as good people, honest men that they would enjoy working with. I just don't know of many that would be willing to put their own job security in the...

We just need better players. I don't think Stoops would even come if offered, as the Nebraska DC job is open too.

Mrs. Lucky- if you are suggesting that commentators are a good barometer to determine good/bad, respected/toolbox assessments of officials, you mush have your head in the sand. Commentators are politically correct for the most part and rarely share their personal opinion on officials...

The crazy thing is that John Higgins is widely considered one of the best officials in college BB, Paul Janssen to a lesser extent. Higgins is definitely too arrogant to admit it, but his performance last night was...not one of his shining moments!

OSU had not beat OU since Les Miles left town- Stoops has completely owned them up until this year, now everyone thinks he has peaked at OU and the worlds coming to an end! Unbelievable! The guy has unbelievable talent and has for years, they had won the Big XII many years in a row, are...

Crimson And Cream Machine - For Oklahoma Sooners Fans I understand the guy has not won a national championship since 2001 and has lost a few BCS bowl games awhile back, but gosh, their fan base makes us Iowa fans look like lightweight and content!

Draw a line below all bowls inferior to the Outback Bowl- nobody deserves a bowl bid below that but that is not the point of the bowl season. It is to extract additional $ from our pocket and it works really, really well.

I don't think anybody said KF lit the world on fire his first few years. In fact, if he had KU's athletic director (who just fired Turner Gill after two years), I wonder if KF would have ever had a chance to prove out his long-term plan of getting two Big Ten championships years later...

Dowling receiver Darboh picks Michigan | Hawk Central I guess I can't blame him...best of luck, at least against MSU and Nebraska!

Probably not where they wanted to be from a recruiting standpoint (not TX), but an opponent they should perhaps be favored against?

Iowa vs. Oklahoma, kind of excited about this...and relieved in a weird way that we don't face Baylor! Although OU is just as capable but with a bunch of INJ's

ESPN: Northwestern headed to Houston vs. Texas A&M

College Football Nation Blog - ESPN Texas A&M headed to Houston for bowl December, 4, 2011 Dec 4 5:31 PM ET Email Print Comments By David Ubben Texas A&M will face Northwestern at Reliant Stadium in Houston for the Meineke Car Care Bowl of Houston, the university...

Ah, the low expectations excuse, that's why Ames is Ames and always will be. You had a great season, you won six games...and admittedly you actually have some decent talent! Your team shows up every other week, gets trounced by multiple TD's to Baylor, an anemic Texas, a lifeless Texas A&M, a...
