Other than Long, Iowa unfortunately has a long history of QBs ranging from mediocre to very good (at least at times). And, even Long benefitted greatly from some of the best offensive lines we've had. He rarely had to scramble or ad-lib. Over 40-50 years, one would think that, even by sheer...

Ahhhh. Therefore, you definitely should read that book. It's eye-opening to say the least.

Smallpox was, but the ones listed were not. In fact, measles is on the rise right now due to lack of vaccinations in some areas and travel, leading to increased exposure. The vaccine question will always be controversial, especially the mandatory nature of some. It is a classic example of...

To piggy-back on this. In conversations I've had with numerous people of different political ideologies, I would say that most on the right recognize the need to move away from fossil-fuels but feel that the almost religious-like fervor with which the left approached it, and the rapidity of the...

I was more impressed with O'Grady's movement without the ball than the shooting percentage. In fairness, they were basically all layups after nice passes, but she showed very good movement and timing to be in a position to receive those passes. She also seemed more focused and deliberate -...

Kubrick rules.....

I can't speak for Rob, but I think the point is that the old days of sacrificing your body for the pride of representing your school are going away whether we like it or not. For the power conferences, the common goal of the players every season will be to fight like hell to be playoff...

Well said, Rob. It's sad reality, but there's really no point in going "All in" for any bowl game outside of the playoffs. You have to wonder how long the other bowls are even going to stay in existence. It's entirely conceivable that at some point it will be the playoffs and nothing else...

Some of it is fairly obvious, but there's probably a fair amount that is nuanced and difficult to put a finger on. 1. As others have pointed out, our offense was allowed to languish far too long. Obviously, a huge culpability lies in Kirk's loyalty to Brian. But, the biggest factor was we were...

It really is pretty amazing. How do you take a handful of players from your previous team - that, as Huck pointed out, is not even a Power 5/6 school - combine them with a slew of transfers, many of which were not high-level recruits, and turn it into not only the best team you've ever...

I had a similar thought this morning. I don't know, but there is something in the air. Just a gut feeling, but I wouldn't be shocked whatsoever if Kirk decides to hang it up after the season. First, things have gone haywire after there was a lot of enthusiasm heading into the season. Second...

Twice tonight, Harris looked lost in zone coverage like he was sleep walking. We need to face reality, this Iowa team is frankly soft at the LOS, and, for whatever reason, the form tackle has gone the way of the Mastodon. This is the most experienced line Barnett has had. Can't wait for next...

It's never good when Phil has to blitz more than a handful of times a game. Our D is not the same when the defensive line in MIA.

That play sums up Stephens in this game.......

And, anyone who thought Barnett had proven everybody wrong, LOL. I don't think Stephens has had a sustained block this entire game, and the rest of the OL hasn't been much better.

Who was it again that thought Sully was the man? Not that he's much better, but Cade would be raked over the coals if he had three TOs in three quarters.

We've had many great TEs over the years, but I would argue that the snowball that led to "TE U" probably starting rolling with Cook or Dallas

In principle, I think most would agree that in the day and age of social media, gross misinformation is a real concern, primarily because people who can't or don't make an effort to critically evaluate what they are reading often make dangerous decisions based upon what they see. The problem...

You could easily make the argument that it started with Marv Cook. If we are thinking a little bit later, I'd go with Dallas.

Would never happen. That sentence would violate federal laws prohibiting cruel and unusual punishment....
