    Former OL Coach, Joe Philbin (2003) on his way...

    Hah ... like coming to Iowa City and helping the Hawkeyes out with our Freshman B team offense? Stinking Ken O'Keefe ... that Oklahoma St. game is still getting to me. You **** away time on 2 running plays on the start of the last drive before the half and then can't get into field goal range...

    If you would have told me before the season ....

    Yes it does ... someone has to take responsibility. With the injuries on defense and 2 RBs out/gone, we still were a Big 10 champion equipped team. No excuses. We lost 3 games by 7, 1, and 4 pts because of things that if prepared for in practice during the week and/or coaching decisions, we...

    2 sentences that sum up 2010 (and many other coulda, shoulda, woulda seasons)

    If we lose to OSU and win @ Minn, and WI / MSU / OSU wins out ... I think the following happens: - Wisconsin = Rose Bowl - Michigan State = @ Large BCS or Outback - Ohio State = Whatever MSU doesn't get above - Iowa = S.O.L. ... the post above said Insight Bowl - I think I remember...

    Our Defense Scheme

    Our defensive scheme works when you have DB's who can cover. After that debacle yesterday, and Wisconsin's hammer it down our throat with passing plays, I find it hard to believe we have the DB's to be an elite top 10 team, at least those who are on the field now.

    Insight Bowl? Where the heck is that bowl :) ?! So with a loss to OSU and a win in Minnesota, are we still 4th in the Big 10? And 4th pl Big 10 team goes to the Insight Bowl? What a disappointment. This feels like the 4 loss 1997 season. 1 of the losses to Ohio State wasn't much of a game...

    Offense's Mentality, not defensive scheme, is real problem

    Wow ... that's amazing. And it probably won't change this week either. So basically for teams we are better than, the matchups are good and we can take care of business. But because we are so freakin' predictable, to teams who are evenly matched against (Arizona / Wisconsin / Northwestern)...

    Offense's Mentality, not defensive scheme, is real problem

    You would have to fire Ken O'Keefe for an "offensive cleansing" for this to happen. I'd be on board with it.

    Hawkeyes vanilla "bend don't break" defense finally broke. Their 2-minute offense has ALWAYS been broke and they obviously don't care to find a solution. ... If anyone tells ya different or thinks different, they don't know what they're talkin' about :). p.s. An upset win on Saturday @...

    Postgame Radio Coverage?

    I love Eric Thigpen's honesty too. He was going off last week on the punt return call last week (which Wisconsin ran the fake on). He said if Hayden Fry was out there, he would have called a "punt safe" play where the defense would stay on the field, and play the punt, but only drop back a "DB"...

    Stoops wants sons to go to Iowa....

    If Ferentz ever left Iowa for the NFL, he'd be out of his friggin' mind. He has Iowa by the balls with $3+ million a year through like 2017. Win or lose a game, he can sleep well at night. Iowa's mentality is "just get to a bowl game" no matter what bowl it is ... and we should have no...

    Postgame Radio Coverage?

    Good stuff ... thanks for the info on the show out of Des Moines. The Hawkeye Huddle is awesome. I love it when Bob Bruce calls Kinnick Stadium "The Mecca". I only called in once. I had to drive home to Chicago after Ohio State last year @ Columbus, so I powered up the laptop and connected...

    Iowa's 2-minute offense & Ken O'Keefe

    Iowa's 2-minute offense & Ken O'Keefe

    I don't think I'll ever forget the classic (or lack there of) roll out of the pocket play of Jake Christensen running for his life. I design websites for small biz as well as the sports industry ... I did Shonn Greene's official site, Shonn Greene | Going Greene Foundation | New York Jets #23...

    Postgame Radio Coverage?

    I'm an out of town Hawkeye fan, and never knew until early last season Iowa had postgame call in show with former Iowa Hawkeye DB Eric Thigpen (Hayden Fry era) and Bob Bruce out of Cedar Rapids on AM 600. It's a pretty good show and I definitely needed the postgame therapy after last weekend...

    Iowa's 2-minute offense & Ken O'Keefe

    It got ugly quick. I think it was 28-7 at one point. I paid $240 for 2 tickets that game + $270/night for 2 nights @ the downtown Sheraton because it was a football weekend. 1998-2000 was tough too. I was @ Iowa from 1997-2002 ('97-'01 seasons), so those middle 3 years were tough. My only...

    Moeaki gets some praise on the NFL Network

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but Clark played TE @ Iowa in 2001 and 2002, right? Prior to that, he was a Linebacker. He didn't get 10 years like Moeaki did (just kiddin' ...). So, for the transition to a position never played to 2nd year into it being All-Big 10, All-American, and John Mackey...

    Will miss my first home game since 2004

    You come in for every home game from Mason City? That's a pretty decent trek to make. I made every home game from 1997-2001 for the 5 seasons I was @ school in Iowa City, but since then, it's typically 1 game a year (from the Chicagoland area now). It's fun going to games, but it's also nice...

    Iowa's 2-minute offense & Ken O'Keefe

    Since we are talking about O'Keefe, I would submit that Ricky Stanzi and Shonn Greene played a key roll of saving O'Keefe's job during the 2008 season. Remember how bad we were in 2007? I was at the Western Michigan game in November of 2007 and we would have been to a toilet bowl if we won...

    Iowa's 2-minute offense & Ken O'Keefe

    To our coaching staff, whoever is suppose to be in control under 2-minutes (at the end of a game and even before the half) means hesitation, indecisiveness, and ULTRA conservatism. It kind of goes along the lines that Hawkeye5421 has been talking about with not letting the offense drop the...

    Iowa's 2-minute offense & Ken O'Keefe

    NFLDraftScout.com has Stanzi at the 5th best QB: Ricky Stanzi | Iowa, QB : 2011 NFL Draft Scout Player Profile in next year's draft. I've been following this site for some time now and they are pretty good and most of their rankings are on for the round guys fall in. What's crazy is that...
