Nothing to be bummed about. We lost this season because the seniors gave up midway through. Won't be a problem next year cuz they'll be gone. Same with DJK. Won't be an issue next year. Same with Christian French. Won't be an issue next year, or in 2012, or probably in 2013. I was never...

Technically, he can still redshirt next year, but I don't remember the last time somebody played as a TR FR and then redshirted later without injury. That being said, I doubt a player like CJF would still be here as a 5th-year senior anyway. He'll probably be in the NFL by then.

1. McNutt (enough said) 2. Vandenberg (always a good idea to have the QB be a captain) 3. Morris (it may be too early but from what I hear, he's got incredible leadership skills) 4. Prater (he's got a nasty streak and is always trash talking out there; we need to get that Matt Roth-esque...

I would be really surprised to see him elave early. He had an incredible sophomore year but took a dip stats-wise this year, and I don't think he'd want to leave with the way this year ended. Hopefully he comes back next year and has a breakout season both on the field and in the locker room...

Well, considering he just signed an extension earlier this year... Honestly though, I doubt he'll retire anytime soon. Meyer was a different case; he had only been in Florida for 6 years and had that whole scare with chest pains at the end of last season. Ferentz has been in Iowa since the...

I think if he comes to Iowa he'll take the spot we were saving for Damiere Byrd before he went to SC. They have similar size and Carr has plenty of speed, so I could see them using him in the slot or maybe as a 3rd down scat back.

I'm gonna go ahead and not hold my breath on that announcement. At this rate we'll find out week 4 of the 2012 season.

Yeah, seems like they may have been flying lower than the FAA allows. Apparently it was the lead pilot's last flight before retiring so maybe he just wanted to go out with some flash.

Irrelevant. Their offense is on the field a lot less than us because they have a lot more 2 or 3 play scoring drives than we do. If we suddenly discovered ways to pick up 60 yards per play on a routine basis, our offensive stats would be a lot more comparable.

The offense did have some 3rd and shorts, but they were kinda rare because we were so often in 2nd and <5. That lead to a lot of 6 yard carries for first downs, or missed passes to give us 3rd and 4 or 3rd and 5. What makes this so frustrating is that for half of the year, the defense wasn't...

Both of those stats are pretty meaningless. The team had already given up on the season by that point, so it wouldn't have mattered what plays KOK called. We would have had better results in both games (especially Minnesota) if not for so many dropped passes.

55-0 against Minnesota last year didn't show you that? Or the trouncing we dished out to ISU and Ball State this year? What you're saying is that you won't predict better than 8-4 until KF shows that he can ALWAYS step on the throat of lesser opponents. That's fair, but it is an important...

Haha hell no! I wasn't a starting tackle, I was 3rd string (again, as a sophomore "playing" on the varsity team). I was also undersized as a tackle, at about 6-2 230 at the time. FB made sense for me since I was also a track athlete and played in short yardage situations in middle school...

3rd down was EXTREMELY frustrating all year. One of the things that I look at as far as the differences in this year's offense and defense compared to next year are 2nd down for the O and 3rd down for the D. It seemed like, at least through the first 7 or so games, that the offense was...

Actually I see it the opposite way. I'm sure that Facebook scared a lot of coaches when it first took root (I still remember some of the things from the wall of Stormin' Norm Parker's School of Blitz back in like 2004), but you can't stop a freight train. I think the sooner the coaches learn...

Just looking at the schedule for next year, I have a hard time predicting any more than 2 losses: Nebraska and Northwestern. And both of those games will hinge on the opposing QB (does Persa fully recover from the achilles and does Martinez return to Nebraska). Our rushing attack should be one...

I agree with the OP. When I played in HS, we got blown out during our last game before the playoffs (this was my sophomore year but I was playing varsity). The coach was ****** and literally tore up the depth chart in front of us. The next week was kinda like open tryouts for guys who wanted...

This kid has film that makes the hair on my arms stand up. Put 25 pounds on him and we have Bob Sanders II.

Wrong. Texas Tech would have won a share of the title if it was possible to in 2008. As you know, there's no way to "share" a conference title when you have a championship game, but in 2008 Texas, TTU, and OU each finished with 1 loss in conference. Ipso facto, if TTU was in the Big XI...

College football is not sales and Barta is not a sales manager. Your comparison is more suited to whether or not Ferentz would fire KOK at the behest of Coach Campbell. But then again, you still haven't explained how Kirk would go to Sally Mason and make her fire Gary Barta. Your entire...
