    Clowny Campbell...his goal was never to win the Big 12

    Ummm.... If I'm on a pre-season top 10 team, damn straight a conference championship is a goal. Heck... top 10 team, a national championship is a goal. I remember Dabo Sweeny being interviewed about "Clemsoning" when Clemson was still trying to get over the hump and he went ballistic on the...

    I‘m slime.. Georgia was your only choice to win because they play a FCS team this week. Couldn’t bring myself to point it out to you.

    Rattler leaving Oklahoman: Shouldn't Iowa try to get him?

    I'm not sure how many teams can say this, but Iowa has started an NFL drafted QB from 2013 up until Petras took over. I think an argument could be made that James Vandenberg could have been drafted were it not for the tutelage of Greg Davis, and if you believe that then we've been playing...

    Wisconsin opens as a 2.5 favorite

    I kind of felt like Iowa's O-Line in both 2019 and 2020 made remarkable improvements against Leonard's defense.

    WUWs highlight surprising facts regarding current O-line

    This is just anecdotal, but I've felt that Iowa has done a much better job of developing Tackles and Centers than Guards in the KF era. And often times, we can be deficient as an overall line despite having 1 or 2 extremely good linemen.

    Besides a hawk win we need Nebby to beat Minny

    Tim Tebow said this week on First Take that the only reason Iowa had all those interceptions was because Iowa hadn't played a team with a good QB. And I was thinking , 2nd team all big 10, 2nd team all big 12, the most talented thrower in the B1G, 1st team MAC, and some chump from Penn St.

    Has anyone actually charted the "injuries"?

    That’s an interesting hypothesis. I don’t know if I believe Franklin is that savvy for such a scheme. He always comes across as self serving and short sighted to me.

    Has anyone actually charted the "injuries"?

    Franklin…. For just a moment, let’s assume PSU wasn’t faking injuries. When he took his beef public in the post game conference, what was he expecting KF to do. No head coach is going to throw shade on his fan base especially after a game where the fans had a huge hand in creating a victory...

    Funny But Cordial "Most Hated Rival" Thread - From Purdue Site

    Funny But Cordial "Most Hated Rival" Thread - From Purdue Site

    What's funny is I remember reading PSU boards in 2019 where the consensus opinion on Iowa was PSU had beaten Iowa enough times that the posters didn't feel it was a rivalry at all. I've always thought it wasn't a rivalry until everyone got hurt in a meaningful way. PSU is clearly hurt today...

    AP poll is weird; Bama is better than Iowa and would clobber Okla 8 out of 10

    Air Raid is an offense that invites brutal hits on the QB. There is a reason the NFL has never adapted it. I get why mid tier power 5 teams adapt it. You don’t have to recruit 4 star linemen because the ball is gone fast. But I don’t get PSU or USC adapting it. It’s not like either school...

    Franklin calls out Hawk fans

    Feigning injuries in football is bad for the game and players safety. It’s the sports world equivalent to the little boy who cried wolf parable. The best solution would be to make players sit out for more than 1 play (probably until change of possession). Let a team burn a TO to avoid the...
