The question is not whether Melsahn or DeSean can continue to be effective basketball players after becoming fathers. The question is do they have the emotional and financial stability to spend the next 20 years successfully raising a child who will become a responsible and productive adult. I...

sad but true

Let's win the next two and start making plans for a Holiday trip.

Northern Illinois would be lucky to be a .500 team in the B1G last year or this year. That missed opportunity will loom large when we are trying to upset a really good team like Wisconsin or Michigan in order to qualify for a bowl.

Unless they can play safety or special teams why would anyone question them not playing? Our offense looked pretty good last night.

Great play and we needed it. Neither safety was in a position to make a play.

I agree with those two. I would go with Kirksey becasue he has shown the ability to make game changing plays.

I am sure Fran will be classy and keep an eye on Ulis. Swithching his commitment or an eventual transfer are both possilities that would be welcomed with open arms.

I think this issue is a lot bigger than Iowa basketball. Melsahn and the mother have made a decision that places this beautiful young child at a fairly significant statistical disadvantage. In addition to the obvious time challenges I wonder how he plans to support this child without a job? I...

If we get into a 3rd and 1 I hope we go 'over the top' for a quick score

weren't all 3 of our LBs in the Top 10 for tackles in the B1G last year? That is a really ugly stat.

If GD could utilize technology to harness the brainpower from the intellectual elite of this website(those that 'played' the game) on a real time basis I would book a Jan 1 trip to Florida.

Same school, NI, but very different teams. Rudock is not as athletic but showed more pocket presence than we ever saw from JC.

Great observation. Just so you know that this is not unique to Kinnick I will tell you about a game in Camp Randall I went to last year. The licquor inspired think tank sitting behind me collectively concluded that Alvarez had recruited a suboptimal replacement, Bielema, so that Alvarez would...

Not looking for help of any kind from you now or ever. I really like Jon Miller but he is not in the same league with Chuck Long which is why Jon recruited Chuck to provide some 'expert' analysis.

Great point. We have all 'seen that movie' a few times the last few years. Had that happened Saturday we would have all heard the predictable reaction to the predictability of GD & KF. Does anyone remember when Tressel through deep on 4th and 1 against Purdue in the 4th quarter in 2002? He...

Since there were so many that called this an aggressive play and thought it was a good idea to call it if you weren't gonna go for it on 4th down if it didn't work, I've come to the conclusion that those folks either didn't ever play football or are football dumb. FreedComanche I really...

I don't have a specific name but I like the model of finding an NFL coordinator or even well respected assistant with some college coaching experience.

I hope that Beatherd can get some snaps after we put this game away in the 3rd quarter! Given the propensity of QBs to get hurt, it would be good for the backup to have some live game experience before he gets inserted into a 'crisis' situation.

Somebody as smart as you seem to think you are should be able to imagine a broader array of possibilities. With the benefit of hindsight you have successfully identified a calculated risk that did not work out well for the Iowa coaches, who had the disadvantage of having to make the decision...
