    Makail McCall??

    Perhaps he could play D Back for us.

    Program Regression, Exhibit A

    Keep telling yourself the Iowa FB program is OK. I'll keep pulling my hair out watching them lose at Minnesota and at home vs. Michigan State with EVERYTHING to play for. Remember, the B1G scheduling gods were pretty nice to us this year too! You could have the same counter-argument in...

    where is the shotgun no huddle?

    Not going to matter much when we check down to Coker running a 4 yard route immediately after the snap! The 4 yard completion on 3rd and 8 is WORTHLESS but great for JVB's QB rating!

    According to Kirk...

    I guess we just need to execute better. Our talent level is so bad, we are in serious regression mode. As fun as it is to beat Michigan last week, I guess it probably takes an ugly, bad home L on senior day with B1G championship momentum on the line to make everyone realize that we are...

    Worse yet, Nebraska's winning!

    Memo to Kirk......

    If it takes a home beat-down to demonstrate to those with their head in the sand (most importantly Kirk's staff), I guess it needs to happen! Our talent level is so pathetic, bad combination when you appear to unprepared and out-coached...

    Program Regression, Exhibit A

    No need to site any statistics, just jump on ESPN2 and watch a slow, unathletic, ill-prepared, out-coached team with a B1G championship momentum on the line, at home, on senior day...getting their tails kicked! Disappointing, I have not even had to reference the much-scrutinized schemes...

    Its official...

    I have no problem with the call. I suspect Pitt's coach wish he would have kept the foot on the throat when they had us down 21. I can remember countless examples of us allowing teams back in the game by playing tight with a big lead...

    Mizz to sec

    I wonder if this impacts Iowa's success at recruiting the St Louis area, which has been good to us lately. I suspect that SEC teams, namely Arkansas/Kentucky/Ole Miss/Miss St and LSU to a lesser degree, will start recruiting north and west into MO a bit more with the travel there now. It opens...

    Don't look now but...

    OK- you can look now. They are up by ten, Big Red is filing to the exits. Huge W for Fitzgerald, gutsy 4th and 1 call, I guess they had nothing to lose...

    OT Northwestern vs Nebraska

    Gutsy call by Fitzgerald. Was it confidence in his O or lack of confidence in his D? I don't know...surprisingly his D has played very well today. Hard not to like Coulter (or Persa) when they are not playing Iowa! Big score by NW!

    Don't look now but...

    Nice catch by Ames native Ben Cotton, Nebraska scores to make it 21-18, hopefully NW has enough firepower to close the deal.

    OT Northwestern vs Nebraska

    Nice catch by Ames graduate Ben Cotton. Good ballgame, I hope NW has enough firepower to close the deal... NW's D is making Taylor Martinez look like a legitimate passing threat (sounds familiar!). I actually like Iowa's chances if we can get a lead early and make Martinez throw...

    Nice win....but,

    ...but HawkeyeMike, can't you hear Barta already talking about accepting the bowl bid to the TicketCity.com Bowl with a legitimate smile on his face?!? Apologies to all for the sarcasm on what is otherwise a great day to be a Hawkeye, but it is frustrating to hear the powers that be accept...

    OT Northwestern vs Nebraska

    They have held Burkhead in check fairly well thus far. Surprising considering how BAD their D was in Iowa City. Losing Persa will hurt, they'll need to score another TD to win this...

    Don't look now but...

    14-10 after Nebraska scoring drive. Nice throw by Martinez (odd?), but I guess it is NW's D after all! Persa is hurt and return questionable. Coulter is one tough, quick little cookie, but they will be more one dimesional without the reigning 1st team all Big Ten QB. Nebraska is the...

    OT Northwestern vs Nebraska

    Persa is hurt and return questionable. Coulter is one tough, quick little cookie, but they will be more one dimesional without the reigning 1st team all Big Ten QB. Nebraska is the better team, but NW may be able to put another scoring drive together and put some serious pressure on Nebraska.

    Vandenberg

    Talented but very enigmatic on the road. I am hoping his strong WR corps can help him overcome the "road' hurdle, but I am afraid our equally enigmatic TE's aren't helping him much. We need them to keep drives alive on those crucial 3rd down conversions we struggle to convert...

    Don't look now but...

    Northwestern is up 14-3 in the 3rd quarter in Lincoln... Persa and Coulter are pretty entertaining to watch when they aren't playing Iowa, especially when they are playing well in Lincoln.
