Kirk Ferentz stated last August or September that "We're a better team with Brandon. I hope he comes back." Does KF lie? Does KF blow smoke up your skirt? Now, does BW3 hurt or help team chemistry? idk. Personally, I missed him last year. I would prefer to have him as a Hawk for 4 years.

We all need 2nd chances. Some of us need 5th and 6th and 8th chances. And sometimes our 3rd or 4th chances have to happen at some place other than the place that gave us our first 2 chances. DJK has options; they just are no longer at Iowa. That is all.

#48 Troy Johnson. Watch the tape. Gabberrt knew where he was every play, and he got abused. Big heart, slow feet. He's a Hawkeye, but he wasn't Edds or Nielsen.

^^^ What you two posted.^^^ No IR would be my first choice. Jets would be awesome. Loved watching the Colts when Bobby was on D and Dallas was on O. Last few years have been rough.

Does anyone on here recall what Brad Hermann said this past year, after his promising frosh season and less-than-stellar growth after his early success? Something along the lines of "I finally realized that I was wasting a golden opportunity, and I had to kick it in gear to make the most of the...

Uh, and Van Sloten, and Bofelli, and Casey McM, and Doonal, and Scherff, and Heair.... So, No. they will not play next year on the starting O-line or two-deeps.

Everyone knows?!?!? Wow. I didn't know that. How do you know that? Have you taken ANY time to think through your presumptions? Rhabdo is something that NO oNE can forsee. It is only kown in hindsight. Why would Doyle want his players "never want to lift weights again"? Dumb.

And one week later, Ferentz is vindicated by the truth... Is it so hard to pay attention to the consistent character of KF & Doyle?

Tell me, why do I, Joe Fan, need Kirk Ferentz in Iowa City when 13 of his players are hospitalized? Why do I need KF at a press conference? And why must KF leave his last week of 2011 class recruiting to return to campus? to sit by hospital beds? The media types, from Doyle at cbssports.com to...

"Verballed" to Oregon? Nobody, other than jucos, "signs" until Feb. 2. As KF likes to say, "Until then, we're just holdin' hands."

It's funny: I decided to click on the link (from your HN Tweet) only because it proferred a former Iowa player's perspective on other players. Sadly, I had purposely passed by the link twice because DJK's opinion is of zero value to me. I remember in past years (post-bowl games) when Brian...

Calvin Bailey, #1 ranked FB in the nation when he committed and when he arrived. Never played a down. Did he even arrive? BTW, who rates fullbacks in high school?

Kirk gets the very big bucks. No problem with that, none at all. However, this catastrophe is part of the reason that he gets the big bucks. As KF said in his presser after the '09 Wisconsin game, pre '09 MSU, (and many times since) dealing with success is harder than dealing with failure. He is...

Jon & Gibson, I'll tell you the treat, or the statement, that I want to see from DJK today: A) run every route correctly and at the correct speed B) catch the balls that hit your hands C) if a defender is near, battle for the ball with him as if your team needed you to make the catch/foil the...

Can you remember last year? We scored 10 points right out of the gate, and if Stanzi had kept throwing the short routes that NW was giving us, it would have been 14-0 or 21-0. Instead, he got greedy, threw long and either INC or INT, and we missed opportunities to bury them in Q1. Then the...

Do you read the inane questions that precede his answers? Wouldn't you want to get out of the room and back to producing something that helps your team win on Saturdays? Plus he already has done the B10 conference call, plus he has the call-in show the next day... I know, he gets paid...

I hope the U of I PR machine has the 2008 Iowa vs Wisky highlight film cued up for Shonn's introduction!

IIRC, Iowa has owned Gilreath for three years. His bones are made of balsa wood. There isn't an easier arm tackled guy in the B10. Does he have return yards of note against us???

Worst public trashing--away from message boards--would have been Eric Thigpen on the Golden Harvest Huddle post-game radio show after Ball State. ET sounded as blind as message board posters.

And that must be the underlying bias for those who are slow, late or reluctant to get on the A-Train. Quick to anoint Coker or Rogers as the second-coming before they have proven anything. A-Rob has been there and done that, regardless of his deficient Scout-defined pedigree.
