    Heat Directed at JVB

    Excellent post. JVB is no doubt a good leader and senior and works hard. He is giving his all. He is still not effective. Kirk, successful coaches each and every Saturday replace players if they are not effective. If you took JVB out for a few series, it doesn't mean you don't like him or he...

    Heat Directed at JVB

    I don't believe it when it is said our backup QB isn't ready.....look at last year. A J Derby was #2, and the staff felt confident enough to move him to LB because they had sufficient talent (Rudock) for the future. Weinke also sees the writing on the wall that he is not gonna over take JVB or...

    Took a night to sleep on it...

    With all the bad stuff that happened at Penn State, the good thing that came out of it was a coaching upgrade for them. O' Brian will build a dynasty there in short order. It took scandal and death to make a change at PSU, otherwise old JoePa would still be there. What will it take at Iowa?

    As hard as it might be to do, fans will have to stop going to games and stop buying the Hawk merchandise to force a change. That's what it took in basketball.

    Recruits

    Most of the towel throwing was by the student section who doesn't give a s*** because 1) they had been drinking all day, and 2) the view these players differently than us "adults". To them they are just other students, who they might share a class with or sit next to on the cambus. They don't...

    The Beginning of the Revolution?

    I agree. Same as a business. The CEO won't get fired unless the "company" starts losing money. However, KF is damaging the reputation of the brand (Iowa) and the product (football) As Michael said, you wanna make a difference, you gotta make that change.....Fans will have to stop attending...

    Recruits

    Last night's dismal performance couldn't have come at a worse time for recruiting. With kids these days it is all about appearance, and how they look to their peers. I can hear their buddies saying, "you might go to Iowa? Are you serious? They suck. They can't score. Boring offense." These...

    I would like to see Ruddock

    I Don't believe he isn't ready. He passed for bukoo yards and TDs in a high school program much better than Keokuk. Besides if they leave JVB in much longer he will get injured then they won't a choice nut to change

    I would like to see Ruddock

    My sources at U of I have told me Rudock is a more aggressive passer and Kirk does not approve.

    I would like to see Ruddock

    He has to be ready enough. Because James sure isn't. Looked good enough in open scrimmage

    Jordan Cotton

    Funny....wasn't last week the first time they let Cotton return kicks? Takes the coaches a long time to get the right players in the right position.

    ZOMG Rudock coming into the game?

    D*** JVB is back in there. What will it take KF?

    ZOMG Rudock coming into the game?

    No doubt it is Rudock time.

    When do we try another QB?

    Anyone with a brain would not misspell Rudock three times. The Stanzi/Jake C situation was quite different than the JVB/ Rudock one. Jake C was not a fifth year senior entrenched in the program, nor was he an Iowa boy like JVB. And I don't think Stanzi was a RS Freshman, think he was a...

    Sorry Kirk and Vandenberg haters....

    I was thinking that myself Scorpio.... Seems deanvogs has a mancrush on CF Hawk. They seem very friendly with each other. And a scary stalking infatuation with Out Of Town Hawk......this thread is full of personal attacks

    I remember hearing before the season..

    I believe CJF has developed into such a good blocker that he has become more valuable doing that. Another poster said using him as a "third tackle" . That is what I see as well. Another theory is that JVB is jealous of all that preseason publicity that CJF was getting and said hell no, I am...

    When do we try another QB?

    Ever think JVB is making conservative decisions just to keep his job? If he makes that "risky" decision or throws downfield and gets picked off is he afraid of being pulled? Is Rudock playing so well in practice that it might be in back of JVB mind? I have said before if he throws 2 INTS...

    Hawkeyes Don’t Quit, Top Spartans

    Good post. That sums up the way I perceive JVB also.
