For the winning percentage comparison to be valid, given that you're excluding the first two years of Kirk's tenure, you'd have to give the same consideration to all programs. Exclude the first two years of coaching tenure for any head coaching change that occurred during that period. That...

He's a thug because of consensual sex? Brilliant. Are you implying there has been a lot of that sentiment directed toward ISU for acts morally analogous to consensual premarital sex?

Agreed. The last minute didn't go well, but pulling starters early on to stop the bleeding was a great move. Sent a message - If you're not ready to play, sit down. Also, I have to keep reminding myself that he does not have the depth to be reasonably expected to put up many conference wins...

Couldn't the Rose Bowl pick Stanford vs. one of the non-BCS conference schools?

Your kids will understand some day.... just make sure they grow up Hawkeyes. :) Cheers

Please. Get over yourself. It cracks me up how so many people get their panties in a bunch about college students running onto a football field. In reaction to all the ridiculous critical analysis about such a trivial topic, I'd love to see the students run onto the field after EVERY win...

I'd like to correct myself. 64 - 0. He'll go for two after the 9th touchdown.

He convinced me, damnit. Wisconsin 63 Iowa 0

oops, just saw there was another post about the forecast already. In the words of the late great Roseanne Rosannadanna: "never mind"

Weather channel website says 40% chance of precipitation in I.C. saturday, specifically "T-showers". That could be bad news. Weather conditions that put a damper on the passing game will hurt Iowa more than Wisky, in my opinion, simply because I think our passing game is a bigger weapon that...

For sentimental reasons (I can't pretend to know, objectively, how he'll do as a big league manager), I hope you're right. However, if that's their desire, they might be making a tragic mistake to assume he won't bolt to another club.

... and, sounds to me like that cop was pretty cool about things in the first place, just asking you to dump out your beer and letting you go on your merry way. You flaunted it back in his/her face, showing you didn't deserve that kind of leniency.

Sounds to me like you're the kinda jack*ss who puts a damper on things for the rest of us. Everyone boycot the games? I've got a better idea: Lets just let you boycot the games.

If the Hawks pull off the unlikely feat of winning out, then with some help higher up in the rankings, they could have an outside shot. It's a far fetched dream at this point, but it's not completely dead I guess. I'm a Cubs fan, so yes, I know how to harbor unrealistic hope.

Rick is having a great year, but it's probably unrealistic to expect him to continue on the same statistical pace given the upcoming schedule.

... so, I guess I just provided a counter argument to my own post. That's the catch-22 with the guy: Don't wanna lose him to injury, but also can't afford to give less-proven backs many touches in a tough game.

Good point, but a road Big Ten game is not a good time to call any plays for the sake of building experience. Gotta win the game, and Adam is a workhorse who isn't prone to fumbling the ball. I'm not saying we, as outside observers, know whether Coker is prone to fumbling, but we do know Adam...

It's been a while since I've been frustrated with Iowa's tackling, but I found myself yelling at the TV Saturday for that very reason. Perhaps it all comes back to what Deace said this off season: Michigan and Iowa are simultaneously bad matchups for each other. I just don't think our defense...

I LOVE games like this: strength vs. strength. Their big O-line and excellent change-of-pace duo of backs vs. our D. Win or lose, the Hawks love to play against teams that want to play power football. The scary thing is the fact that they have that change-of-pace option. I'd feel a lot more...

Really? You just can't understand how not everyone has exactly the same knowledge base on the subject that you apparently have?
