    thoughts after a few days...

    that is great and all... but last i checked kirksey was 1'2" according to madden... zing. On a more serious note, Iowa looks like this at the beginning of the season every freaking year. It is usually uneven and they struggle to find any consistency on offense. 2002 iowa and 2003 iowa barely...

    UNI players ready to take on Hawkeyes

    I somewhat agree actually. He is definetly a good player, but he scorched an atrocius isu defense ...that keep in mind... allowed us to run like 15 consecutive run plays or something last year against them.

    Scherff hang clean 3x443

    I can see what you mean but not necessarily. I am 30 and still do a ton of cleans, squats, snatches and jerks and my joints are healthier than they ever have been since football. More than anything he will probably feel the affects of the hits he takes on the field... which comes with the territory.

    Miller & Deace: Picking Iowa Game By Game

    While i agree that with the early season losses in years past, that the pitt games seems iffy, I still think that iowa is clearly a better team. I think that they may start slow in a game like that and then rally in the second half for the win. Remember they lost the best defensive player in...

    Is Willies the X factor?

    Iowa now has 3 dudes who will play several downs at reciever who are 6-2 or taller... At least I think so. That kind of size I don't ever remember us having at reciever.

    Omaha World Herald takes a shot at Iowa Football program, their coach, their fans.

    Re: Omaha World Herald takes a shot at Iowa Football program, their coach, their fans Actually Iowa doesn't necessarily play anyone worthy of having one, sides for maybe wisky or nebby but those both fall in nov and nebby is on Black Friday. I don't think anyone really knows either guy...

    there was some interesting comments from ferentz about powell during the last press conference. like he is expected to contribute more on offense this year from tremondous offseason work. excited about that and anything involving canzeri on offense.

    what new recruit

    I am really excited about scheel. I think he is one of the those qb turned recievers that is going to be a really special player. Especially with the depth at reciever, I think he has a real opportunity to compete there next year even.

    Thoughts on how to fix this teams issues going forward

    I was just thinking the same thing about White's role last night. When he gets to the low post area, generally good things happen (10-10 FT). And the excellent three point shooting benefits from this.

    Bowl broadcast

    Speaking of this, it will be nice to hear some NFL perspective on some of the players for our team from Gruden.... mainly Scherff and our linebackers.

    “Iowa just doesn’t have quite the appeal we’re used to.â€￾

    Not to pile on but I believe Louisiana also has the highest murder rate and I think it is by a wide margin. Not to say there isn't good people there, bc I know there is. I think it is a good matchup for both teams and should be a good game. I actually give LSU an edge bc Iowa has no idea...

    Honest SEC speed question

    This is a fact. Joe Haden a cornerback for the Browns ran an embarrassing 4.7 I believe at the combine coming out of Florida. He is arguably one of the better cover corners in the league now. As for the speed deal, to me it's fairly simple, it's all about the demographics. There is clearly a...

    Dienhart says

    I agree we have less talented skill players, that is obvious, but we clearly have a trenches advantage. Even the posters on the LSU board will admit this. If Iowa can keep the explosive plays to a minimum, we can certainly win.

    I also think we will surprise them with our TE play... in the South Carolina game in 09 Myers caught like 4 passes on the opening drive.

    Dienhart says

    Here is what is going to happen, bc it has happened in all but two bowls ferentz has been a coach of. Iowa will come out very prepared, will keep LSU off balance and out of sink. Probably will start out with a 7-0, 10-0 type score. And then Iowa will either pull away for the win, or barely lose...

    2013 Favorite or Memorable Iowa Offensive Plays

    This might not make anyone else's lists, but Ruddocks touchdown toss to Hillyer against isu was enormous. Although Iowa was running very effective, isu somehow was back in the game at 14-7. That is when ruddock completed the 3rd and 8 for a touchdown into heavy pressure. For some reason this...

    Receivers have shown nice improvement this year

    I agree with this. Plus, I really think canzeri has proven he needs to be on the field in some capacity next year with his couple of nice YACs today. Tevaun Smith is probably our next Mcnutt,DJK, Mo Brown guy it appears.

    Can 13 end like 08 and build for 14?

    I think if Iowa can win these last two games impressively, than I think the correlation is accurate. If we go 7-5, win the bowl game, I still think it sets up for a big season next year. Now if they go 6-6, lose the bowl game, I think it leaves some of the stink still from 2012 debacle. With the...

    Any chance we see a new wrinkle on offense this week?

    I think if it is very difficult weather wise, I think that might actually help Iowa. It would make it a physical drag out fight, and with the way Michigan has been playing(soft), I like our chances with that. It would take away some of the deep threats mich presents.
