    Not be be gloomy but next year...

    I agree that the offense will be fine and the back seven on defense looks to be solid. I don't know why people are so worried about the D line, like people have said, it can't get much worse. On the bright side, they should be bigger man for man than this year, so hopefully they won't get...

    McCall violated team rules - not traveling to Lincoln

    Is there ANYTHING with the Hawks that you don't ***** about?

    An Iowa win over Nebraska...

    They made more mistakes than we did? Seriously, you're going to act like they gave us the game? We got 5 sacks on them and got consistent pressure all day. We picked off two passes. On the ugly side, we fumbled four times to their three (both lost 2), we dropped at least 4 passes and were...

    How often does Iowa beat better teams?

    No it's not. Being pretty good at it would be below .500. Keep in mind 11 of those losses came in the first three years of the program (.660 since then). Over the last three years, he has a .615 winning percentage against them. Somehow I don't think you would be satisfied unless it was 1.00...

    Rich Rod

    RichRod's offenses were always good. The difference is that you can't bring the 3-3-5 to a top conference and expect to compete. If he is willing to switch to a 4-3 and get a difference DC, he could have them in the Pac 10 title chase before too long. Erickson is retiring after the season and...

    How often does Iowa beat better teams?

    I am a KF fan period. I don't have to be a monster fan to defend his record. I couldn't care less whether we were favored in games.....heavily or otherwise. Games aren't played on paper......they are played on the field. The difference between you and I is that I don't dwell on them as much.

    NE BIG 10 Champ T-Shirts?

    So do we. The difference is we actually wear ours during the games and not just in practice. :D

    An Iowa win over Nebraska...

    I think finishing 8-4 would not be too bad at all. Going 3-1 down the stretch would be nice. The thing is the Minnesota loss has got to be shaken off. People have to move on and realize three things: 1-We ended Northwestern's 3 game win streak over us 2-We beat Michigan for the third time in...

    NE BIG 10 Champ T-Shirts?

    That's funny.....thinking that the Big 12 is the 2nd best conference in the nation. What's even funnier is justifying the Huskers' current record by saying that this is the second worst team in the past 45 at Nebraska. This team CAN'T be worse than the '07 (5-7), '04 (5-6) and or '02 (7-7) teams.

    How often does Iowa beat better teams?

    Please stop. As was noted above....and I'm sure numerous other times in other threads, that is not true. CP87 made some fine points, and I will add this: Kirk is 37-28 vs Purdue, Illinois, Northwestern, Indiana, Minnesota and ISU combined. That is definitely not pretty good at losing to less...

    How would we view Fry in the internet-era?

    Why are you hung up on Top 25s? They are an arbitrary number assigned by people who are anywhere from slightly to completely biased and some of the pollsters don’t even watch the games. Kirk owns winning records vs everyone else (tied with Wisky) in the Big 10 except OSU and Northwestern...

    How obvious is it that Ferentz wants McNutt to hold the records?

    No, Kirk is not going to target a McNutt just because he wants to wipe DJK from the record books. That being said, I don't think he will mind at all if that is the way it plays out. I felt that DJK had a lot of unrealized potential and that is all on him and his laziness. Couple that with...

    Michigan State to Rose Bowl

    Trying hard? We have been bowl ELIGIBLE for two weeks now. Even in a really good year like MSU had last year, they go spanked in both of their losses.

    Michigan State to Rose Bowl

    Hoke is already a great coach? He's good, but he's only had 4 winning seasons in 9 years of coaching. They bring back 12 starters next year, but as long as DR is the starter, they will have trouble against some teams. Nebraska's problem is that Martinez is returning. He's about as...

    Michigan State to Rose Bowl

    ESPN did a good piece several years ago on the most overrated and underrated teams over like a 20 year period. They took into account when they started in the top 25 and where they finished and where they finished when they didn't start in the top 25. Michigan State was at or near the top of...

    The way some people on this board villify Vandy

    ...and if he forced a throw that is "near" a WR and it gets picked for a TD, he is still a goat to people. He wasn't trying to "take" a sack, he was trying to get out of the endzone. Sorry, but that situation was untenable both in terms of what JVB could have done that would have made people...

    Tracking 2012 Class Offers

    What third year sophomore? Vandenberg and Weinke and both juniors. They will be gone after next year. Rudock will be a RS sophomore in 2013. As far as who is willing to be a year behind JR, I would say any QB who isn't afraid of a little competition.

    The way some people on this board villify Vandy

    What game were you watching? He was in the tackle box....if he throws it away, it's intentional grounding and a safety. The pressure from his right was forcing him back in and when he tried to head for the hole between LT and LG, Short forced him back towards the middle.

    McCall's season wasted for 2 carries

    I am getting so tired of hearing complaints about how little McCall has played. The beginning of the season Coker sat after he fumbled and now McCall has learned that lesson. I can't understand the fascination that people have with the two back offense that is popular now. It wasn't that long...

    Post game snub

    Yeah, I noticed that they didn't appear to be too friendly either. They should be happy that it wasn't a lot worse. Maybe they were also POed that on Senior Day with bowl eligibility on the line that hardly anybody bothered to show up.
