    VOTE: The Biggest Iowa FB Plays in Last 50 Years

    Like everyone else has said, the future will tell us more about this one. as for me, i have to go with tate and holloway. i think i had a concussion from my head hitting the ceiling when they threw that past, i jumped that high. tonight was just as dramatic though.

    Who is Iowa's biggest Big Ten rival

    I'd say Wisconsin or Minnesota both hold plenty of importance as far as a Big Ten rivalry. For me though, 2 games I circle on my calender every year are the Clones and the Wolverines. Nothing worse then 365 days of listening to the clones talk about a rare win at Iowa, so I love winning that...

    Iowa Will Win Big this Weekend

    Rain or shine, I love Iowa's chances this week. Its only Tuesday, and surfing somes sites and forums has told me one thing is certain, Sparty fan definately has there doubts about there football team. A lot of if's and could we's and maybe's coming out of there camp. Prolly not the same case...

    I have a feeling...

    I think this weekends matchup plays out very well for the hawks. what i like.... 1. Little to no RB depth currently for MSU (injuries), and true freshman in 1st primetime game against toughest defense yet 2. Cousins, although not a runner by nature, is still somewhat fresh off a ankle...

    7-0 Despite trailing in 6 of our 7 games.

    I agree the playcalling can get pretty suspect at times, but if you have followed Iowa at all in the past, I sure would think your getting used to it by now. It would be tough to argue though that Iowa definately goes into each game with a offensive plan, and you can see that until we get past...

    Wegher vs Robinson

    Totally agree with ya TWR, BW knows (and ARob as well), protect the ball first, get the yards second. As a freshman, I wouldn't expect anything less and despite the film showing BW missed seams or whatnot, I think he has great vision, and it will show in time, sooner rather than later. you can...

    Wegher vs Robinson

    One thing that Iowa has been able to do though with both backs rotating series is it leaves every play in the playbook open regardless of what back is in. I think if you start picking spots for the backs (short yardage, passing situations, 3rd down, etc.) and rotating them in and out depending...

    Wegher vs Robinson

    The only thing Wegher lacks right now appears to be about 15 pounds. He still isn't strong enough to get past a d-linemans arm tackle. If the passing game picks up and allows the holes to open up a bit more, I think wegher has more home run potential then robinson cause he appears to be the...

    Why can't we get McNutt and DJK in at the same time?

    I said earlier on a different thread that DJK, McNutt and Moeaki on the field at the same time has the makings of a dynamic downfield offense. But, like others, not sure what the difference is in the playbook between SE and WR. Judging by this thread the possibilities are obviously enough to...

    I have a feeling...

    Couldn't agree more. I think if we get by MSU this weekend, and I don't care by 1 point or 100, when we get back home to Kinnick, the offense will get opened up, or so I hope. KF and KOK know the recipe to win on the road in tough environments, and unfortunately conservative is on the menu...

    I'm starting to sense a turn in national sentiment

    I also don't quite understand how USC is getting huge credit for beating a Notre Dame team who has yet to beat a currently ranked team. By all means, it was a good road win for USC, but if they are getting these HUGE props for beating Notre Dame, should it at LEAST be noticed that we beat...

    Most Underrated Iowa Player

    Let me also state that Hunter is very underrated this year, but next year he should appear on plenty of award watch lists, so his contributions this year won't go without notice league wide and nation wide, where as the 3 I mentioned probably aren't known outside iowa.

    Can the o-line bounce back after last week?

    personally i think the issue is more at guard, and not singling out any one guy for poor play, cause i think they've played better than the tackles. I think the fact that a rotation is in place does not help the cohesiveness of the entire o-line. being a great offensive line as a whole means...

    Most Underrated Iowa Player

    Couple names off the top of my head, Reisner, Calloway, Tarpinian. Reisner filled a huge void while Moeaki was out, and does an excellent job on max pro and double tight sets. Moeaki is unbelievable, but Reisner gives us reason to not dread Tony's loss next season. Calloway has played very...

    I'm starting to sense a turn in national sentiment

    This big ten conference season is a waste in the eyes of the national media. The Bowl season is the only place the Big Ten can prove itself to anybody outside big ten country. I guarantee you it won't get no better the rest of the way, especially when the temperature starts to drop, the white...

    Why do people care

    Maybe so, but at that point (heaven forbid), who cares where were ranked. The rankings only matter for the NC, and possibly the one at-large bid (After Boise or TCU takes one). Lets face it, way too many big ten haters out there after the last couple of years to put 2 big ten teams in again...

    5 wide

    I don't think there is anything wrong with the current gameplan, but a few more passes on first down early in the game I think would loosen up the defensive play calling. I agree that at times are play calling can become a little predictable, and its tough to argue with what gets wins, but it...

    Mcnutt hurt in Badger game?

    If thats the case that McNutt was hurt and not playing, then I know for one that I am still anxiously awaiting the day that we can put a HEALTHY, DJK on one side, McNutt on the other, and Moeaki in the middle. All 3 healthy and in the game at the same time makes it extremely difficult for...
