    The problem with Boise State.

    Its just bad when a team wins their opener and already are said to have "one foot in Glendale" (from ESPN). One game? That shows you what the rest of their schedule is like. I do like watching them play, and really have nothing against them personally other than their schedule and how every...

    I don't understand the complaining...

    We tailgate in the West parking lot at Kinnick. I had a pretty great time, didn't seem any different, and plenty of us were drinking. I'm going to keep getting my season tickets and enjoying the game, cause thats what Saturday's are about to me... THE GAME! Some people forget about that, and...

    Who will be our Starting OL for Eastern Illinois?

    I agree with that, KF and staff have always seemed to give the edge to the veteran. I admit that sometimes I've gotten upset about some veterans that have gotten playing time when I've thought a younger guy has more talent.

    Who will be our Starting OL for Eastern Illinois?

    Not trying to pick a fight hawkeyehat, but if Ferentz is the better center, even by only a small margin, he's gonna start. This isn't high school, and if anyone tries to claim that KF is showing favortism at the DI level they should be run out of the state, he's too much of a professional...

    Stanzi on the Cover of Sports Illustrated

    Only available in Iowa? So I have to drive to Iowa to get my copy? And who's gonna be on my SI in Illinois? The Zooker? LOL

    Away game vs. Indiana

    I've also recently heard that by calling IU you can get tickets for $5 with a student ID (from any college or university). But I think you have to have an ID for each ticket when you pick them up on gameday. Some of the specifics may be wrong, but I'm right on the price, anybody else have...

    Love being a Hawk and here is why...

    I went to a Royals/Rockies game in KC this summer and sported Hawkeye gear. The lady taking tickets said "There sure are a lot of Iowa fans today, then again, there are always a lot of Hawkeye fans here. They're always the nicest people." I also agree that it is an unwritten law to say "Go...

    Adam Rittenbergs Big Ten Divisions

    I'm not a big fan of non-geographical divisions, for many of the same reasons you have all mentioned. Another thing I don't like about the "competitive balance" idea is that the balance shifts from year to year. Everyone makes a big deal about the how bad (other than Nebraska) the Big 12 North...

    Nothing in it for the players

    I guess we've both fought to make the point that nobody actually gets a "free" education then huh? Whether you're "paying" with blood, sweat, tears and of course a lot of time, or actually paying cash/money/$$$, in the end, you're paying... We've agreed on one thing?

    B10 Divisions - OSU and UM in the same division?

    Very good point about scheduling a cross-over rivalry game every year.

    B10 Divisions - OSU and UM in the same division?

    Illinois (2) Iowa (3) Michigan State (1) Michigan (8) Northwestern (3) Ohio State (9) Penn State (3) Purdue (1) Wisconsin (3) That is a list of the teams that have won or had a share of the Big Ten Championship since 1990. Michigan and Ohio State top the conference, but my point is...

    Nothing in it for the players

    How many of these guys would be getting an education of any kind if you take athletics out of the picture? You guys are acting like if these guys had the time that football takes away that they'd all try for a pre-med degree, when truth be told, if they weren't football players they wouldn't be...

    Nothing in it for the players

    Yes, the players are making a LOT of money for their university, but they are getting plenty in return. And some of them are getting a great degree, and contacts that will get them better jobs than the average Joe that gets through school on his own. Myron Rolle is the most recent example of...

    I will admit it...

    Mesaclown, you're the one making an irrelevant point, because at Iowa, we don't care! You're trying to hold onto one positive spin, and we'll let you have it, you've got a winning record against KF, that doesn't make you relevant in college football. Iowa has top 10 finishes, BCS bowl...

    Typical Husker stuff

    This is a good argument for the people that say "this stuff happens everywhere" when one of ours gets into a little trouble, I'm one of those people, I just say it in my head as you can tell I haven't had many posts. Whenever an Iowa player makes the news for something negative the mob of...

    Gatens Interview

    How can you not like that guy? I'm not going to go out on a limb and predict anything amazing about next season, I'm just having fun being excited about Iowa Basketball again... GO HAWKS!

    Alford joins the sleeze...

    Every situation has two sides. If you hate SA then you're going to take the side that shows him in a negative light, and probably exaggerate the story to make you argument a little stronger. If you're open minded you might consider that the kind may have broken rules, or been bad for team...

    Best custom license plates?

    the INNNNNN plate is confusing, I'm going to take my best guess and say it has something to do with the beginning of the Beer in Heaven Polka that the band plays after a victory, when they start it they hold that first note that draws out the word "In"... Am I wrong?

    Captain Kirk's Sense of Humor

    Even if it's not completely accurate I still like the story, adds to the legend that is KF. Thanks for posting.
