    No time to panic

    We got USC upstate next. We will throttle them! Where do they find teams like that? Do you think 3000 will show up

    Has McCaffrey landed any 2025 recruits

    Don't wish to squabble with you but I suspect I have been an Iowa fan longer than most on this board. I remember being glued to the radio listening to the Ralph Miller teams in the 60s Chris Perval Jerry Jones and my favorite George Peeples. that team lost to Texas Western and everyone went...

    Is there a "good" bowl outside the playoffs??? I doubt many Iowa fans will be going to the game

    So Would Iowa be better off in Big 12?

    Hey this was a hypothetical not intended to be a serious consideration. Of course Iowa will never be in the Big 12. I suppose its possible Iowa State might be in the same conference as Iowa if they move to create 2 super conferences and then add some teams to the Big Ten SEC ??? who knows what...

    So Would Iowa be better off in Big 12?

    Clearly not going to happen but if it was an option?? Big 12 doesn't get the national exposure and won't receive the revenue that Big Ten teams enjoy. It's a secondary conference with mostly secondary level teams that to a large degree have no natural rivalry with each other. On the other side...

    Sports Illustrated Preseason ratings

    They have the Hawks 40 and 9th in the Big Ten. Probably a fair rating. They don't think much of the Big Ten with only one in top 20 Purdue at #14 Where has Michigan State gone? In any event give us a better chance to compete in what looks to be a very mediocre conference They did have Iowa...

    Has McCaffrey landed any 2025 recruits

    Just to inject a bit of objectivity 247 had Iowa a respectable 31 in 2023 53 in 2024 and of course not rated yet for 2025 since we have no one committed Not sure humming is a descriptor that one would associate with Iowa basketball recruiting or Iowa basketball in general. Maybe you were...

    McNamara says he has played well up until last game

    That was his assessment He has 944 yards through 7 games with a 5.9 yard average and A LONG of 33 yards. with 6 TDs and 4 Interceptions I posted a while ago that some Michigan reporters said he was a mediocre QB on a talented Michigan team. Maybe its time to accept that they were being generous

    Has McCaffrey landed any 2025 recruits

    Looks like just about all those looking at Iowa have committed elsewhere?? No big dollars to buy players a coach entering the end of his career nor a lot of success especially when it counts seems to be a lot to overcome. We may be competitive this year if not a tournament team but the future...

    Get Prepared for some Tough Times

    We had hoped for a special year. Obviously that is gone. Next year will be worse. Lose a lot of key players with little hope of adding enough to be good. May be looking at 3 or 4 win season Iowa men's athletic program at crossroads. Regardless if Ferentz retires (and he needs to retire) we are...

    MIchigan Set to Flip Iowa Kicker recruit

    Just saw a recruiting article pop up on the internet indicating Michigan is 92.1% likely to flip Starzyk the highly rated kicker Iowa recruited for next year. Too bad as we all know the kicker is the main cog in a Ferentz offense

    The reality of it

    Iowa will likely never challenge for football supremacy It was men vs boys today and it is only get to be a wider disparity with the NIL and the teams like Ohio State buying players to round out their great recruiting classes. Evy did it with a few good players many of them playing both ways...

    Can we run the ball next week?

    The short answer is NO we cant run the ball against an elite team like Ohio State

    Iowa lands their 2026 QB

    Herrara from California 3 star by 247 with mostly mid major offers. Described as pocket type QB. No mention of dual capabilities I hate to be pessimistic as I don't know much about him but he sure sounds like a Ferentz QB

    This Game Will tell us a lot

    WE have played an FCS team, Troy (one of the worst teams in the country), Iowa State a pretty good team that was playing without top 3 LBs and Minnesota. Not exactly a tough schedule to date. This game should tell us if Johnson is a legit top RB, If our defense is still elite and if a change in...

    Can we run the ball next week?

    Going to be tough With no passing attack and no deep threat Ohio State will really load the box. We need to get our speed receivers down field and McNamara needs to make some plays or we in for a very long day. I would like to see us move him out of the pocket to give him some time, but he...

    NIL has got to change

    Barstool CEO Dave Portnoy is pledging 3 million to buy a top level QB for Michigan. I realize I am a bit "old school" but this is becoming ridiculous.

    Lester "McNamara's best game"

    11-19 for 62 yards against a mediocre Minnesota team. A 6th year player In his 4th game against mediocre to low level competition. Really He had a a sack for 13 yards in the first half with completions total of 16. Burned it up in the second half with 49 yards!! Has he thrown a completion...

    State of passing game

    If we has a QB that could make things happen with his feet and was able to throw the ball farther than 15 yards and a couple wide receivers that could get open down field how good could we be? Unfortunately we dont McNamara aint getting it done. He is a step up from Hill but then who wouldn't...
