    ::sigh:: just thumb me down here

    For what it's worth, I've got a similar source (former starter who remains in close contact with current players at his position) as IowaHOCKS23, and I'm hearing the same things as he is. A couple of potential transfers, the "whole team upset" about certain personnel decisions, etc. There's a...

    Weisman and KMM watch

    It's almost criminal that Mark Weisman's name could be alongside or above the likes of Tavian Banks and Sedric Shaw in Iowa Hawkeye football history. Talent level is not even close.

    Has Iowa Ever Had this Much Speed?

    Anyone with speed at Iowa sticks out like a sore thumb. This team does have nice speed, but if you're talking purely playmaking speed on the offensive side of the ball, it's tough to match Tim Dwight and Tavian Banks. Of course, those two had the ball in their hands for the large majority of...

    Hilliard Announces Top 5

    Notre Dame since they don't belong to a conference? Alabama because it's the only team to win a National Title in the last 10 years? Not sure. Tough call.

    Ali Farokhmanesh blames it on the fans

    Another assumption. If I'm not riding a roller coaster of emotions with each Iowa win and loss, it doesn't mean I'm a better fan, but the perspective is not lacking. I don't believe I'm a better or more passionate fan than the next guy, I'd just like to see some fellow Iowa fans handle the low...

    Ali Farokhmanesh blames it on the fans

    Yeah, I know. Frustrating. Thank you for getting it. People freaked like I actually forced my wife to leave Iowa State. The truth of the matter is she continued to attend ISU for one year when we started dating, then decided to leave on her own, but I always joke that I rescued her from Iowa...

    Ali Farokhmanesh blames it on the fans

    So you know me? You know that I've been a Hawkeye fan since I was 5 years old? You know that I told my wife that she had to transfer from Iowa State if she wanted to continue dating me? You know that, even though it was a gift from my sister-in-law, I never allowed my son to wear the Iowa...

    Ali Farokhmanesh blames it on the fans

    Whether you agree with the former UNI kid or not, the fact of the matter is many, many of my fellow Hawkeye fans have completely fallen off the deep end over the past couple of years. It's become utterly ridiculous how much our Iowa fans whine, complain and moan about EVERYTHING. In fact, it's...

    If you were Iowa's O-Coordinator

    Is that a new team? What's their mascot? For a team with no speed on the outside and receivers who drop a ton of passes, this sounds like a tremendous idea. Two 3-and-outs to start the game would be superfantastic.

    College Football Head Coach Salaries - SBNation.com

    You're most likely right. Kirk Ferentz, the head football coach at the University of Iowa, probably doesn't worry about how his team performs. YOU probably care more than he does. He's got his money, and now he's just a fat cat who doesn't care one bit about the welfare of the program that he...

    When did you turn Anti-Ferentz

    Tend to agree. I believe that if Kirk Ferentz would have just done what Iowa fans DIDN'T want him to do and hired Brian Ferentz as the offensive coordinator, this offense would be much more effective, potentially dynamic down the road.

    What if a Big Donor Buys Out Ferentz's Contract...

    Kind of like when Alford left. And then the entirety of Hawkeye Nation rejoiced as Todd Lickliter became the head coach of Iowa basketball. No, Jon, Hawkeye fans want to pay someone less than 1 million a year, demand that they win 10 games/compete for national titles and expect to keep said...

    College Football Head Coach Salaries - SBNation.com

    Oh. My. God. Enough of these freaking "salary" threads already. Do you people pay ONE SINGLE PENNY of Kirk Ferentz' contract? NO. You do not. And don't give me the BS taxes argument. The UI athletic fund can easily handle his salary without your taxes. Who cares how much he makes? Who cares...

    I think Hawkeye message boards right now are a good example

    The most annoying part about this message board (only one I visit) is that people ride way too much on emotion - the sky is falling and the program is going under when the Hawks lose, and it's the beginning of a return to glory when the Hawks win. Learn to roll with the ups and downs. They're...

    How bad is our Oline?

    The true fact of the matter is Weismann is slow. He doesn't hit the hole with explosion like a typical running back would, therefore loses out on a lot of yards because the hole is getting smaller by the time he's to it. This was very evident in the Ohio State game. There were A LOT more...

    Look at the post above yours. Also, Iowa may be getting its first verbal commitment of the 2015 class this weekend. If not this weekend, real soon.
