Wrong. Woods is from Alvord. Vanden Bosch is from Inwood. I believe Woods has a chance to be as good a hire as any. He's a very, very good guy, he would represent a little bit of an infusion of youth into the coaching staff, which I believe would help with recruiting, and he's a native...

Well, if we're talking a scenario where the BCS decides who makes the playoffs - and, right now, that's the only way it's happening without a lawsuit - then it's not realistic to give the Mountain West an automatic qualifier. Yes, they do have some better teams than the Big East, but the...

I'm not sure this idea has been suggested yet. Apologies if it has. 1. 8-team playoff. Everything else pretty much stays the same. Keep all of the bowls, keep the BCS. You use the BCS to set up the seeding for the playoff and to allow qualifiers. 2. The general idea is automatic bids for the...

Really? Do you live in Iowa? Go step outside. You'll have your answer. It probably has nothing to do with the fact that a lot of kids like the big city life as opposed to living in a town of less than 75,000 either.

This. You have to give a coach more than 500 days to turn a program around, no matter who the coach is. I'm sure Lickliter's system would have worked with the right players, and I think Fran's system will work with the right players. But, expecting Fran to implement his system with...

Try own 32-yard line (two 1st downs shy of Ohio State territory) with 52 seconds to go and a freshman quarterback who had already thrown 2 picks, and should have had a third if not for a fantastic play by Tony Moeaki combined with a collision by two Ohio State defenders.

I'll bite on your "Why?" questions, even though it's in my better judgement not to. Why can't Iowa be an elite program? What does LSU offer? For one, Iowa doesn't have warm weather all year round. In fact, it's cold half the year. Makes much more difference than you think. Second, Iowa...

Right, bcl. Some people don't understand the reality that Iowa isn't a powerhouse program, meaning powerhouse recruits with true speed (the one thing that sets great teams apart) aren't funneling through Iowa. Those same people also don't understand the fact that admitting Iowa isn't a...

+1. It never ends JH. In two years, they'll be calling for Rudock to get benched in favor of the freshman quarterback when Rudock has one bad game.

Wow, an Iowa fan giving credit to an opposing team for they way it played rather than trashing its own team to no end. Amazing. It's been embarrassing to call myself an Iowa fan based on the comments from some of my fellow Hawk fans this year. Thanks Xerxes.

Nardo, Bigach, Daniel, Morris, Kirksey, Miller, Bernstein, Lowery, Vandenberg, Tobin/Scherff, Herman, Fiedorowicz, Derby, Martin-Manley. Just off the top of my head. I'd have to look at everyone on the roster to see who all played this year.

Exactly. Not young, but highly inexperienced with many of our defensive players never having played much. When you're junior and senior oriented for the past two years, that's what happens. My honest expectations for this year were a minimum of 7-8 wins, with a chance for 10 if our...

Good grief, will you guys quit with all the complaining. This was a game we really wanted to win, obviously, but it's been a horrible game - also obvious. But let's keep this in perspective. We came into the season basically knowing it was a rebuilding/reloading year, so what did you really...
