    Other teams are predictable too.

    Are we seriously trying to compare a team that is playing in back-to-back Rose Bowls with a RB that broke nearly every record possible for TD runs with the predictability we see every Saturday and lose rivalry games like it is going out of style? You said it best: SMALL SAMPLE SIZE!

    2012 Iowa v ISU

    Funny how Rhodes wins six games including one over FCS UNI and two others over bowl eligible teams, stutters his way through a few post game speeches and ISU is ready to put a statue of him in front of Jack Trice. Mike Sherman wins six games at Texas A&M and is fired less than a week later...

    My FINAL Iowa & B1G Bowl Projections

    I think the point is that the Insight picks before the Gator- will OSU be available for Gator to pick them. I'd love for Iowa to head to Tempe again. I just hope we don't have to play Baylor!

    My FINAL Iowa & B1G Bowl Projections

    Completely agree- So I guess the part that I don't understand is how our fan base is deemed more rabid in December 2011 than Ohio State. Will the Insight really pick Iowa over OSU? Yes, OSU finished on a three game losing streak but is optimistic as can be about its future. Iowa? I can...

    Okey State!!!

    Completely agree. Alabama and LSU are the best two teams in the nation, barring some shady ballot changing today by pollsters, they will and should play each other in the SuperDome for the national championship.

    Do you think Fickle stays at OSU?

    For his sake, I hope he gets an opportunity at a MAC-caliber school as a head coach and have a fair shot at proving his coaching abilities. I just wonder how their season would have played out differently if they did not melt down so poorly in Lincoln in Week 2 of the B1G season.

    Next 3 Years of Iowa Football?

    WHAT?!? Barta needs your address, hopefully you have your checkbook open for him! 7 wins with our schedule is...average...at best! And yes I recognize we beat Michigan!

    It's Starting To Sink In...

    I always enjoy everyone's reference to #1 team "in the country" as if all schools have a wrestling program. It's a regional sport, WE ARE REALLY, REALLY GOOD, but national championship in wrestling is a much different statement than national championship in men's basketball or football (beyond...

    Austin writer hearing Penn State v A&M in Care Care

    Let's just hope we face Texas as opposed to Baylor in this scenario. RGIII would eat our D alive!

    Iowa needs to offer Stoops before Ohio St gets him

    Apparently OSU is more interested than Iowa would be- it does not surprise me that OSU would be pro-active on this vs. Iowa that will "play out" the bowl game then make a methodical decision over the winter... ...disappointing but it does not surprise me. At this point the D scheme does not...

    With Urban Meyer coming to the Big10 one thing is clear...

    I don't care what we pay them...all I want is for us to recruit some better athletes. The experts can claim our staff "gets the most out of the least" all they want, but the talent has been in a death spiral since 2004. We need better players, plain and simple. Getting into the arms race of...

    Athletes we have yet to see...much

    Athletes....I am in favor of more of them, preferably the B1G variety.

    Zook out at Illinois

    I wonder if Rhoads is still proud to be their coach. I missed his post-game interview in the blow out at MIZZOU or yesterday in Norman?

    Hey KOK haters

    Please look at Florida's 6 losses and ask yourself if they are anywhere close to our five losses? They lost to Alabama, LSU, a ranked Auburn, a ranked Georgia, a ranked South Carolina and a respectable Florida State, all with their back up QB. Also, Muschamp is a first year head coach, we've...

    Only differences between '06-'07 and '10-'11 Hawks

    I can still hear "Hardy on the catch, Shada with the tackle" over the PA in my sleep, bad bad nightmares!

    Is asking the players to overcome bad coaching fair?

    We had a stud WR, a guy that was recruited to IC to throw passes not catch them, but his prowess doesn't make a good team. Our OL, DL, LB and secondary was average, that may be kind for a few of those groups. In terms of QB, brag up the yards all you want. JVB is the king of checking down to...

    Is asking the players to overcome bad coaching fair?

    Our players are nowhere near the talent level of Nebraska, Ohio State, Wisconsin, Michigan State, Michigan. We are very fortunate to go 7-5 and a lot more of it had to do with our soft schedule vs. anything we did on the schedule.

    7-5 without OSU/Wisky on schedule is just plain bad...

    I am inclined not to get into the round robin comparison game. We beat NW, they beat Nebraska, then should we beat Nebraska? We beat Michigan, Michigan pounded Nebraska, again should we beat Nebraska then? All I am saying is that we were fortunate to have Purdue and Indiana on the schedule...

    7-5 without OSU/Wisky on schedule is just plain bad...

    Look at the 7 wins- one good win, and thanks to the Michigan OC for having Denard Robinson throw four straight times on the goal line! Look at Texas A&M's schedule and you will find a much more respectable 6-6 team. They lost to a lot of respectable teams, many of which they crumbled down...

    7-5 without OSU/Wisky on schedule is just plain bad...

    Chicken little, HAH! So if I am disappointed with our below average team that played really stagnant and anemic today and call a spade a spade, I need to go find another team? I showed up and overpaid for a ticket today to cheer on my Hawks. I expected better- I expected better today, I...
