Last season's team was pretty young. This season's O line is very experienced.

Still deep on defense.

TP was a very good player, but also limited by a couple of factors. OK court vision. Inconsistent production. Not like losing a Murray. Just my opinion. Having almost every player learn two positions explains many of the fantastic runs (in games) followed by deep ruts. The players...

Lohaus-Olson recruits Eddie-brief NBA career. BJ-very good NBA career NBA career. Roy-brief NBA career. Bill Jones-brief NBA career. Kevin Gamble-good NBA career. Leslie Jepsen-brief NBA career. Gerry Wright-joined the Air Force after college. Kent Hill-think he went the NFL route, albeit...

LaFrentz was never coming to Iowa. A good analogy. Some coached turn LaFrentz's father down. If you recall he showed up in a Beat Iowa shirt in Dr. Davis' final season during the NCAA. However, Nick Collison was coming to Iowa...until we fired our career leading coach. Don't forget future...

Do you think he may not play at all? I perceive a strong risk. He's 8 months out and still nowhere near playable.

We traded pretty far down at when Davis was dumped for ultimately Alford. Then when Lickliter arrived Iowa went to the bottom. What the hell was there to turn around Lickliter's teams. If Fran leaves what does Iowa have to offer a new coach, and what guarantees he's better than Fran. Nothing.

I imagine a trust will be paying his grandchildren 50 years from now. KF actually sounds like a smart investor. He crunches numbers and I'll bet his broker does too.

I can see that implication-bad writing by me. No, I would like to see Sullivan push every other QB. I probably just assumed Marco has a leg up in knowledge of the system. That might be an insignificant advantage since Marco only has one more spring in this offense. For the record, I'm for...

I was just thinking exposure to the offense would give Marco the advantage. I would be thrilled to have a guy like Sullivan with successful Big Ten starts under his belt. I am in the buy mode for Marco. Marcos's strengths, very good mobility and throwing on the run seem to be precisely what...

Sullivan's numbers are better than anyone on the Iowa roster, and he's pretty mobile. Certainly a very good insurance policy should Marco falter as a starter. Cade is very unreliable, as his last two seasons have shown. A guy has to play to contribute anything. What are the thoughts on...

Well, you're sufficiently intelligent to understand your limits and that alone puts you in the top ten percent.

Agree, and extend. The biggest problem with BF's coaching was his misunderstanding of the QB's and their roles in an offense. Nate Stanley probably didn't need a lot of direction from Brian. He was very good, very entrenched and probably audibled into a better formation anyway. The...

Good one.

Jake C threw more touchdowns and fewer interceptions than all of the starters at QB collectively in the last two seasons. A QB hitting over 53% is a higher completion rate than all but Petras, although Petras had far more turnovers. It's been four seasons since a QB threw 17 TDs and only 6...

A giant trade up from Hill, be the rumors true.

I was mostly ribbing you in a little in a spirit of banter. We just disagree on the premises. The gambler's fallacy is not analogous. Gambling decisions are different, more immediate than something that involves many people over a series of injuries. Each injury is an individual event, so...

At first I thought this would be a great find for Iowa. Then I thought he did nothing at Iowa State, less productive than Ladji. So if he's a 4, his game will conflict with Ladji and the 4* Chris Tadjo. If he plays 3, and I don't know if he could play small, he conflicts with our best player...

Familiarity breeds contempt. When people are complaining how Iowa is winning games or complaining about an 8-10 win season kind of school they don't realize how hard it is to win at a little university, not near any urban amenities, without a huge NIL base, from a small state with necessarily...

I'm just going to have to send you the Beach Boy's "Kokomo" to brighten your outlook on the beloved Hoageyes. Johnson & Arland Bruce were 4* recruits. Charlie Jones, Smith and Smith-Marsette were certainly good receivers. Just my opinion I think Kaleb Brown will be a big weapon, if there is...
