With losses to Iowa State and Minnesota?!? 7-5 predictions on this schedule is called SAND BAGGING, only to over-achieve and make it appear like we had a good season. Look at our schedule folks, it was BAD BAD BAD!

Ummm, 7-5 vs. a schedule devoid of any really difficult road games (no Wisky, no OSU, home vs. Michigan, home vs. MSU, road vs. beatable Nebraska), is not the least bit impressive. They should have easily been 9-3, and I am being very realistic with that statement.

Yeh, that W over a Conference USA opponent in the TicketCity Bowl is really going to rally the troops. In fact, I'm sure recruits everywhere will be flocking to Iowa City to jump aboard the most anemic offense this side of Jerry Kill. Great showing in front of a national audience today, couple...

ST coach had the punt team ready to go on the sideline each and every third down. Kudos to him, our punt team was ready to go a very consistent basis.

...We can spin this all we want and refer to how dismal we were for some time, but this was a bad FB team playing an easy schedule. Our talent level has fallen off big time, our coaches are content and are getting killed scheme-wise and more importantly on the recruiting circuit. If you were...

Not a great coach at Michigan, but people forget he was a 4th quarter upset L vs. Pittsburgh in the final week of the season away from putting West Virginia in the BCS National Championship. Not a lot of coaches can say that...and UofA just landed themself a coach that is far over-qualified for...

The way JVB has played on the road, I hope we can keep it within 10, I just don't see how NEB will tolerate Coker running on them at all- I see them stacking the box and giving JVB some chances to beat them. I just hope we can keep Burkhead in check, somehow NW did it!

I think Penn State will get picked in the normal course. PSU cleaned house and it would be unfortunate to hold the players accountable for the actions of people that took place nearly a decade ago. Not to go off on a tangent about the issue, but the Nittany Lion Nation is too proud not to...

I really enjoy watching SEC football, they're in a league of their own. A league with its own rules: pay for play, lack of academic standards, offering 30 scholarships to players when they only have 18-20 available, a league that at one point had more programs under NCAA sanctions than ones...

I'll take KF and the archaic schemes over Fitzgerald's loss to Army anyday.

This was an equal opportunity bone headed half by staff and players...and yet we still lead the game and are clearly the better team! Not your vintage Hawkeye FB at all!

I am sure KF will have some sarcastic remark when the media broaches the ill-timed substitution during the press conference. I'm all for get MM in the game, we need him to spell Coker, but on the 9 yard line with a guy that has not played since Labor Day weekend, when we are running at will...

...We completely dominated the line of scrimmage. If Purdue goes to a bowl game, its an embarrassment to all bowl invites, bowl events and Tupperware everywhere. And yet I fully expect the 2nd half to a be a tight, nip and tuck battle!

I completely agree. Fans that believe this are just as content as our graying coaching staff that can't put B1G caliber talent on the field.

Too many guys with gray hair in my opinion, content on riding out the tail end of their career with a coach that is known as one of the most loyal in the industry. Not sure how those guys can relate and appeal to the type of out-of-state talent we NEED to come and contribute at Iowa. I'm...

We could have Bill Belichick run our D and Sean Payton run our O and I don't think it would matter much. Perhaps we'd keep our heads out of our rear ends on special teams and probably win the Minnesota game, who knows maybe even pull out the Iowa St W in 3OT (or not even be in OT in the first...

Never have the talent to not play well and win? Wow, our coaching staff really has you convinced we are some mediocre program where no one wants to come and play and we should feel "honored" to beat TN Tech, LA Monroe and limp through a season and go 6-6 and 7-5. Then our fat cat coaching...

Every other decent B1G team has a platoon of RB's (Wisky, Michigan St., et al) , I just don't understand why we don't sprinkle another guy in there once in awhile. Sure would be nice to keep Coker fresh, I suspect he may start wearing down in the November stretch run here.

Could be, and we recruited him to play under center! Hard to swallow that the program's top 2 WR statistically were on last year's team...that went...7-5!

Please tell me which adjective I used is inaccurate and I hope I can agree. And it's not just today, it's a trend of bad FB that is difficult for even me to refute what me eyes are seeing!
