    poll; would you rather see ISU lose 1 game a year or everygame.

    I am ok with them winning 5 games a year, just missing a bowl but not embarrassing the state.

    Michigan State Is Playing for the Roses

    So, PSU is so much better than MSU they can beat them in East Lansing,but MSU is still a tougher opponent for Iowa than PSU? Confused?

    Illinois Trainwreck Continues

    I think they would have to pay Zook around 6 million to go away...not happening..zook will be there for a few more years.

    Nice stat to shut up the haters

    It is fruitless, these guys will never admit a point...it is their persona's ...never concede anything.

    Hampton, Robinson, Wegher and Brinson: Something's gotta give!

    What will give is that in most years 1 or 2 of these rbs get hurt. We have lost Greene,Hampton,and Brinson this year for various reasons,and are down to two frosh rbs who were at least #4 and #5 in the depth chart. In 04 we lost 4 rbs. In 06 we lost 2 rbs. Why do people not recognize that you...

    Pryor's HS coach says to take the reins off of him

    As Anthony Herron astutely pointed out last nite on Sites and Sounds, OSU is lacking on offense around Pryor. Their o-line is not good, their rbs are average and hurt, and their wideouts are young and learning. It is a very average offensive team in terms of production right now. Young at a...

    Illinois Trainwreck Continues

    The Illini situation is shaping up to be a complete disaster as this season winds down. When Loren Tate(AD Guenthers unofficial media mouthpiece) is painting dark pictures of Zooks stewardship, you know the ship be sinking. As a suntimes writer pointed out yesterday, all that fancy schedule...

    What would you like to see happen to B10

    Stay the same, and go to the round robin like KF suggested. Play 13 games, 10 vs Big Ten opponents, with 3 non-conference foes. Works for me. Get a true champion,and still get to play ISU,a cupcake and an AZ type game. Less filler please. All big ten games are huge and interesting...but the...

    Stanzi best Hawkeye QB ever?

    I would be surprised if Banks did not have the all-time passer efficiency record at Iowa with 27 td passes,5 interceptions, and almost 3000 yards in 2002. He also ran for some tds and led Iowa to its only 8-0 record in the Big Ten in school history.

    Should Iowa have a Midnight Madness?

    I think they should try it again next year. With the frosh class next year, and returning vets, there could be some buzz. Market it right, have giveaways, put naked cheerleaders out there(kidding) and glean the funnest stuff from other midnite madness events from around the country and make it...

    Forest Evashevski...there would not have been Nebraska

    What is weird is that his single wing is back...it is up at Michigan and called the spread option run attack. What goes around come around,I guess. There is nothing truly new in football.

    Stanzi best Hawkeye QB ever?

    Sorry, but being the MVP of the Big Ten, Davey OBrien Award winner,1st team All American, and a close second in the Heisman voting puts Banks in the top echlon. He is close to Chuck as the most honored Iowa QB in a single season. Just like Shonn Greene is in the elite group as Iowa rbs, for his...

    Penn State @ Michigan

    The best for the Hawks? Michigan win to give PSU a second loss, which means they could beat OSU and still not leapfrog a two loss Iowa. What do I think will happen? PSU to win. They are rolling. They are better than a young Wolve team. Better defense. Clark is in a groove again. PSU 24...

    Michigan State Is Playing for the Roses

    Watching the Coaches Show on ESPNU last nite, at the very end they did a segment on the Hawkeyes, and just before signing off the two panelists were asked for their uspets of the week and of course one of them picked MSU to upset Iowa, with the other picking OK to upset KU. All the games in the...

    Brinson?

    When you think about it...Iowa is dangerously close to duplicating the epic 2004 season in dipping into our rb depth...Shonn Greene? gone. Jewel? gone. Brinson? Gone. Wegher? possibly hurt. Walkon Adam Robinson...still standing. ARob is this years Sam Brownlee? Both Iowa prep walkons. Both could...

    Not sure how I'd handle a loss emotionally

    We are Iowa fans. We went thru 19 straight non-winning seasons. We expect the worst while maintaining the optimistic hope for the best. That said, there is no air of invincibility about this team a la the 1985 team. Chuck and co. were 7-0 going into an average OSU team in Columbus,and that...

    Into the Unknown

    Your father is a wise man. And has been clearly bitten by Hawkeye fever himself as a young man. It is passed on generation to generation,just like my siblings and I have gotten from my dad and mom, we have passed to our children. In western Iowa, we were always known as a ''Hawkeye Family'' in...

    fun being this nervous

    KF put it well last week when he was asked if he could enjoy the journey.. '' I am miserable all season but it is a good misery,like the soreness a player feels when he gets up on Sunday morning'' I understand where you are at...while I love the winning,getting this close to the dream season...
