    Just remember we are all fans

    I think you are now double wrong, Jon. Next man up, brother. There is only one thing that I keep coming back to, over and over. Conditioning= 4th quarter blues... Saw the piece on B10 channel this AM before game about Claiborn and his Mother, who has moved in with him. At first I thought...

    Did anyone notice the play clock expire on NW's last TD?

    Ouch... did not notice on TV. Don't even know if that is reviewable, but if it is, and this did happen, it opens a whole 'nother can of unacceptable "game management" worms. This is a nightmare, in football terms. Only good thing, is I've reconnected with a bunch of buddies on the phone...

    I officially regret EVER rooting for Northwestern

    After losing 4 of 5 and being 5-8 against them in his career, if the calendar wasn't circled before this year, KF now becomes one of the most arrogant head coaches in history. Not to mention we are competing for similar talent every year. How could this game NOT be circled?!

    Iowa Reporters = wusses

    Actually, the question about being tired is a good one. How did he answer that? I think they've looked tired every 4th quarter this season...

    Miller: Bitter Ending

    Not to belabor the point. But as I sit here, going through all the games this year... I can't think of one game (even Mich. State) that we looked good in the 4th quarter. I think it comes more and more down to conditioning. OK, I'm done with that... Offensively or defensively. I think when...

    Miller: Bitter Ending

    Great post, Jon. I posted about conditioning, before I read yours, sorry. There seams to be something wrong in that regard, and it's appalling to think that this is a/the reason for every collapse this season. I also agree, that even if Iowa gets off the mat, and has a "glorious" win, it will...

    Conditioning

    With regard to all the criticism that I have seen here in the last hour, I haven't noticed anyone mention what I think is the biggest elephant in the corner, no pun intended. Conditioning. This team has consistently looked and performed in the 4th quarter as though they have no gas...

    Aaron Kampman

    Hate that Kampman hurt himself.... even as a Colts fan. Kampman, Devries and Betts will always have a soft spot in my heart for leading the Ferentz led Hawkeyes back to relevancy. Heal well, Aaron, and good luck.

    Northwestern cheap shots/dirty hits

    Fitz is a good coach with a huge chip on his shoulder about Iowa. His players always seem highly motivated, and play very aggressive. Cheap? Nah, I think all Hawkeye fans would love to see the same kind of intensity from the Hawks toward NU. Maybe after last year's game, Karma has been...

    :Fitz Hates Iowa" - NW Frosh RB

    A few thoughts. 1. Anything that is successful is gonna bloody a nose here and there. Keep classy, Iowa. 2. Kirk Ferentz is NOT devoid of emotion. Anyone who was at last week's game, can only come away proud and relieved that he represents our university. He is also one fiery mother when he...

    Northwestern should be Scared!!

    Hadn't thought of that '08 game for a while. Can't wait for Saturday...

    Please, IU is not Indy

    Just a little postscript... Funny that the 'real' UIndy just became relevant, if only for a few moments, in the big time sports world. UIndy shocks No. 23 Tennessee in exhibition | IndyStar.com | The Indianapolis Star

    Please, IU is not Indy

    Bucky. Awesome... Let's see.... Went to Indy, just wanting to be a nebby, hooked up with a tranny bucky and got boilermakered instead. Love it.

    Please, IU is not Indy

    Thanks, Handsy. I'm not upset... just having fun before I have to get in my car and, believe it or not, go down to teach a class at Indy... er, I mean IU... er, uh, in Bloomington. Can I throw a big Go Colts in for good measure. Pat Angerer is gonna have to be huge today. Understand most...

    Please, IU is not Indy

    OP here. This is hilarious... Guys, I'm an Iowan. I live in Indy... It's just confusing, and makes those of you referring to IU as Indy confusing, that's all. I even said please, just like my Mom taught me in IC all those years ago. Have Iowans really changed all that much? It's not a big...

    Please, IU is not Indy

    Thank you, Troy. It's especially annoying to see IU referred to as Indy for those of us that live in Indy that know that there are two Universities right here in Indianapolis that get referred to as "Indy". 1. IUPUI- Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis Campus, which has IU's...

    Please, IU is not Indy

    Nope, never heard that as an abbreviation referring to IU... I also do a fair amount of work at IU in Bloomington... Never have heard it. When Hoosiers refer to Indy, it's Indianapolis. Even, and maybe most ardently, in Bloomington. Not a big deal, but I just thought I'd help out because, well...

    Please, IU is not Indy

    Guys, not to get preachy, but I've seen it now quite a few times here after the game today. As an Iowa City ex pat that now lives in Indianapolis. IU is NOT referred to as Indy. Indy is Indianapolis. Only Indianapolis. Nobody I know, and I've lived here for 15 years now, has ever called Indiana...

    Iowa missed Robinson in redzone

    I was at the game today. It was clear that Stanzi got out of quite a few plays today... I think kudos have to be given to Indiana's #5, their safety (converted QB, his name escapes me) who was making calls, and basically getting in Stanzi's head (or so it appeared) all day. He was also primarily...

    We were out-coached again today

    Very funny.... I know how you feel. I have a chair that I make my wife sit in when the Hawks are not doing well. I love her dearly, but she was out of town for the Wiscy game and asleep in bed for 'Zona. Sorry Hawkeyenation... BTW, Indy refers ONLY to Indianapolis, never ever, ever, ever IU...
