    Regarding DJK and his time here

    It's hard to say he's been underutilized when he's Iowa's all-time leading receiver.

    My Take on Iowa Football

    You're right, the loss of Norm is significantly more devastating to this program than I thought it would be. We need him back as soon as he's ready to go.

    Badger DL Kohout with injury, impact to Iowa running game

    Right. I should've phrased it better. Maybe this will give us a better chance at succeeding when we double Watt.

    Badger DL Kohout with injury, impact to Iowa running game

    I look at this a little differently. Maybe without Kohout we can double JJ Watt more and take him out of the game.

    Time in the game John Clay goes out

    It'll happen when he runs into a wall and the ref doesn't blow the whistle. He'll do what all good RBs do and continue to leg drive. Eventually, when he goes down, he'll have his foot trapped underneath a defender and leave the game. Could happen in the 1st quarter, could happen on their last...

    Hawks Win Big Ten & No Rose Bowl?

    You got it right. We could also still make the Rose Bowl if both BSU and TCU have a loss at the end of the year. The new rule only goes into effect if a non-AQ finishes in the top 8 of the BCS.

    Season is over for Edwardsville's Coe

    Yes, his stats this year were a far cry from his junior season. He was dinged up a ton with injuries though. Before this one he had an injury to his leg (knee or ankle?). But as to the discussion about telling the kid he can't play anymore, that's just crazy. He had one concussion. I...

    Beating the #1 Team

    Nice analysis. What I take from this is that the hangover is for real. Kentucky beat LSU, then lost two games in a row, and they only beat Vanderbilt on the road because Vandy is the joke of the SEC. They finished 5-7 that year with wins over FCS Richmond, MAC Eastern Michigan, and MAC Miami...

    Fox Sports: 12 biggest games that could decide the BCS chase

    This is why we still have a shot at the NCG. I don't think we'll make it, but we have more BCS-ranked opponents left on our schedule than anyone else.

    Poster's here should have friday happy hour in IC

    When I was there they did FAC at a lot of the bars on the ped mall. Union was my personal favorite. Is that still going on?

    Big Day for Reisner

    It seems to be a part of the game plan. Go back and look at some of the first quarters we've played so far. We throw to Reisner A LOT early in the game in order to force the D to dedicate someone to covering him all game. Once that extra defender has to stay home to cover Reisner, it opens up...

    Absentee Norm

    There are rules against it, as has been stated. A couple years ago, JoePa actually wanted to coach FROM HOME on Saturdays. Just watch the game from his couch and call the plays in. The NCAA put the kibosh on that in a hurry. But just from a logistical standpoint, it would be hard to do...

    Two stats that favor Iowa in a BIG way

    Wow, I didn't know their pass D was that deficient. Good to know.

    Ohio St in the polls...

    I remember when Bama lost, they had the postgame breakdown after all the games were completed and the "big question" was, "Will Alabama fall all the way to FOUR?!" Heavens to Murgatroy! The ESPN crew basically made it sound like they'd probably fall behind Oregon and Nebraska but would...

    Don't over react to A-Rob's great day

    IMO, one of the biggest things to keep in mind about ARob is that he's JUST A SOPHOMORE. We're used to him because we've seen him play in 18 or 19 games now, but for a kid his age, with his fairly limited experience, he's beyond exceeding my expectations. Imagine him as a junior, with a solid...

    A-Rob next on BTN's "Press Pass"

    I really like what the BTN is doing with some of the new shows this year. If I had only one request, it would be to do an hour-long recruiting show, one per team. There are 11 Big Ten teams and the season itself is only 13 weeks long, so you'd think they could wait for the first 2, and then...

    I love Adam Robinson's play....

    There are 2 really outstanding things about ARob on the field. 1. He NEVER fumbles. He's currently at 310 rushing attempts and 0 fumbles. That's almost unheard of in this conference, especially for someone who first saw action as a backup RS freshman pressed into duty because the guy...
