Nice find. Best news I heard all day! Props to the guy for staying with it.

By objective standards, there has been very little improvement in recruiting in recent years. Every recruit in the current class is just a 3 star. Sound like years past? Worse yet, there is still no game breaking WR committed, despite a glaring need and the promise of instant playing time...

At least Greg Davis offenses had some jailbreak screens and a few interesting wrinkles. The Brian Ferentz offense is as bland as white rice...which is crazy because he was given a gift in Wadley last year and did nothing with it.

Given the stupid new kickoff rules, it seems silly to burn redshirts on kickoff coverage. I don't think we've seen a kick return all season.

The game went as games against games against UNI should go. Iowa dominated every aspect of the game, took a big lead, and coasted to victory. A lot of subs getting their first extended action. More importantly, no major injuries. Nice win, and on to Wisconsin! 1. QB Play- Nate Stanley put...

He has everything to do with a delay of game penalty on the first play of the game (first time in Big 10 history that happened), unimaginative play calling, and a lack of stretching the ball down the field. He is also the brains behind all of the 3rd and 9 runs up the middle and the boneheaded...

All I know is, Tyler Wiegers looked pretty darn good yesterday and was supposedly neck and neck with Stanley right up until week 1 last year. Rudock was a shell of himself until he transferred to Michigan where he was coached up and eventually drafted. CJ Beathard was a stud as a sophomore...

It remains the Hawkeye state for another year. Way too close for comfort, but a quality win against a quality opponent. The Hawks will be ranked going into the UNI game. A win against Wisconsin would vault us into the top 15 with a pretty easy slate after that. 1. Dominant Defense - After...

To say that because Morris and Jewell beat the odds and turned out good therefore this true freshmen with no other offers will automatically be good is irrational logic. In the time period you site (2003 - 2017), Iowa has probably had 50 other LB recruits that did not pan out. In fact, over a...

I'm sorry, but the fact that a small town Iowa true freshmen who's next best offer was Northern Illinois is being mentioned as the potential savior at MLB is a really bad sign for the state of the program. Did we have that many recruiting misses at LB for this to be an issue? If he was not the...

They say Iowa Law was right. I tend to agree.

Yeah, if you listen to Marc Morehouse's OnIowa Podcast, ESPN, or quite a few people on this board during the off season. See the link: https://www.hawkcentral.com/story/sports/college/iowa/football/2018/08/15/iowas-nate-stanley-first-round-nfl-draft-prospect-espn-says-he/997469002/

College football is officially back! While there was too much randying around in the first half, where we managed just 3 points against a MAC opponent, the Hawks shook off the rust and played better than most of the experts expected (point spread was 10 points this week). Here are Iowalaw's...

Where do I begin on this? What is my point about the schedule? The heading couldn't be more clear: "soft schedules make good coaches look great." What don't you understand? This year, the difference between going 6-6 this year, with major Ferentz fatigue setting in, and going 8-4 with a...

After a seemingly endless summer, football season is finally in sight. The off-season has led to much discussion but very little concrete information from the coaching staff as to how good the 2018 squad will be. IowaLaw's pre-season observations are as follows: 1. Attrition Is Going To...

Let me see if I have this correct. Guys like "fryguy" wholeheartedly support Ferentz when he went with "loyalty" over talent, playing guys like Bo Bower every down for 3 years at LB despite having other options at the position. When CJ Beathard completed 7-23, for 50 yards, with 3 ints in the...

This off season feels particularly brutal for the Hawks. Not only is attrition up (which is not supposed to happen in a "developmental program"), but my two favorite Hawks on this year's team...the two hardest hitters who have dealt with some serious bad breaks, Aaron Mends and Brandon Snyder...

Iowa hired Fran 8 years ago. He has had good years, great years, and bad years. One thing has remained consistent...the assistant coaches. Even eight years ago, the media noted that Fran had one of the most experienced assistant coaching staffs in the nation, with multiple former head coaches...

Remind me, how many WRs in history have caught 25 passes for nearly 300 yards against Iowa? I mean out of all of the all-pros that played at Mich or OSU over the years. How many had a better career against Iowa than the kid from ISU? I'm guessing not many. And again, your brilliant point is...

Who needs a guy like Wagner to play WR at Iowa. We've got plenty of 5'9, 170lb white walkons from LeMars or Keokuk ready to fill the void.
