    Chappell comments on Jamie Morris

    PYO? You mean Player of the Year (POY)? I think they do, but no way Morris is in the running. He's only played as a starter in 2 games now and he'd be up against guys like Scheelhaase and James White at Wisconsin.

    O-Line status

    Gettis was on the sidelines in pads at the end of the MSU game. Not a definite but usually a good sign that his injury was nothing serious. Vandervelde got hit in the balls. He should be fine for Saturday. FWIW, Kirk has recently said taht outside of Nielsen, everybody has "a pretty good...

    Is this a bye week?

    It feels like a business trip to me.

    bad feeling about indiana

    Ricky threw 5 picks last year and we still won the game. I'm not worried.

    Randy Moss is One Class Act!

    Frankly, I'm happy they cut him. Seems like too many teams in every sport put up with this sort of behavior because somebody makes a lot of money or they had to give up a lot to get him. Screw that. The only place I want Moss to wind up is Washington so he can get benched with Haynesworth...

    Early Senior Bowl Invites

    Didn't Donkey Kong Suh play in the Senior Bowl last year? I remember a lot of people saying one of the really high profile guys ran a risk by playing in it but he looked like a killer and only improved his draft stock.

    Halloween Costume

    As long as there are no real or simulated weapons associated with it. The university issued a statement earlier this week about that.

    Chris Rucker decides to travel with team and will play!!!

    Doesn't matter. He lost the game for them last year, he won't be able to cover anybody this year considering he'll be a week removed from lacing them up and probably hasn't seen any footage on us (unless the coaches snuck it into the jail, but if they were sneaking in stuff why not sneak in a...

    LB Depth Has Caused D to Stay in Base

    We also didn't have Norm there to dial up the plays and to know the right scenarios to mix things up. He'll be in the booth Saturday but apparently won't be coaching (yeah, right).

    Let Rucker play!

    The thing to remember is, when 7 got 6 he called his own number. In the huddle he said he noticed something Rucker was doing in coverage that left him open on inside routes and slants. I bet we'll pick on him all day.

    Halloween Costume

    I advocate as many people wearing orange jumpsuits and black ski masks as possible. Especially in the student section.

    Do not forget

    I'm willing to bet it's going to be a BIG PLAY regardless of where he catches it. He's gonna want this one to be a big time highlight.

    The real issue hurting Iowa

    I wholeheartedly disagree with the OP. Adam Robinson has been playing lights-out ball all season and I don't think the depth is what's hurting us. It's not as though bringing in a second RB to spell ARob would help us make extra points and field goals or tighten up the LBs. The reason it...

    Keith Murphy report on Norm Parker

    This is great news. We miss Norm more than we missed Stanzi and Hampton last year combined. It would be nice if they were able to put up some footage of him talking to the players before the game gets started.

    McNutt - "OK, just catch it."

    +1. I'm sick of people lamenting our recruiting because we don't get a dozen **** and ***** guys every season. Fact is, we have the best strength and conditioning program in the country, bar none. We don't need to recruit superstars, we make them ourselves.

    Chris L Rucker

    I do want to point out that Dantonio did voluntarily suspend something like 20 players before the bowl game last year. The NCAA didn't tell him he had to, he did it on his own. That being said, he's by no means a taskmaster who really disciplines his team on a regular basis. If I had to...

    Regarding DJK and his time here

    Ok...let me try to simplify. By the logic you're using, he would only have reached his potential if we threw the ball to him on every single play. Otherwise, there would have been catches, yards, and TDs he was capable of accumulating that he did not. What I'm saying is that it's possible...

    Defining Success

    I also think there's a measurement of success that's become all too forgotten in today's sporting culture. Stability. It seems like the current climate would make it impossible for a Joe Paterno or Bobby Bowden or Greg Robinson to even exist nowadays. If you have a bad year (or Heaven forbid...

    "when his number was called, 7 got 6"

    The only greater Iowa TD catch in my memory (though I admit, I only became a fan in 2002 during my HS senior year) was Tate to Holloway. Magical.

    Regarding DJK and his time here

    Yes, it's possible, but by that same logic it means EVERY receiver we've ever had has been underutilized. If he's the most successful we've ever had and even that isn't enough, then by default we always underutilize our receivers. Fact is, he's a markedly better receiver this year than in the...
