    QB position got thin quick

    If we get a 10 point lead early and then Sully gets hurt, we can just punt on first down and rely on the defense to hold the line. KF's dream would finally come true.

    Iowa points per game by year

    Watching he and Lindy do sneaks was about the best thing ever. It was as good as the Eagles tush push witout the pushing. Guy was a beast. Stanley was a poor man's Sam Darnold. Okay at everything, not elite at anything (except the sneak!)

    I actually wasn't suggesting anything untoward with KF. Quite the opposite. I just thought KF finally concluded that CM was not performing as needed, needed to be pulled, but wanted to pull him out as diplomatically as possible. "Cade, you took a couple pretty big hits already. We are going...

    Iowa points per game by year

    Its a results based business. Do I think Scott Frost was the worst coach in America when at Nebbie? No. A lot of bad luck, but also a lot of bad decisions. Same with BF. Some things broke against him, including recruiting misses, injuries, and early graduations in key positions. But, the...

    QB position got thin quick

    Can Deacon Hill transfer back and save the day?????? From what I read, Lainez can play. While I would not be calling a ton of QB draws, the reality is that running is part of Sully's game and he is going to take some hits. Lester needs to call the game needed to win and not worry about...

    On paper, I agree these teams seem very similar, so a pick 'em game usually defaults to a close win by the home team. However, I maintain that had KF pulled his head out sooner on the starting QB situation, Iowa wins at MSU and keeps that OSU competitive in the second half. No variable impacts...

    Rob, two questions. First, do you believe that CM really suffered a concussion on the play where he further demonstrated that he had absolutely no business being on the field? Or, did he get hit and that was used as an excuse to politely remove him from a game where he was (again) sucking...

    Is there a single person on HN who watched the Exhibition?

    I am just not ready to transition to basketball yet. It was 82 degrees yesterday, dammit. KF needs to break my heart another time or two and then I will turn to Fran breaking my heart in completely opposite ways.

    I think sometimes coaches bring in athletes knowing that they may end up in several rooms. I mean think about it, wasn't the best athlete on your high school football team the QB and probably played defense too. This kid was a stud athlete in HS and I suspect will find the field at some point...

    In fairness, I think the current offensive staff is being painted with the sins of the predecessors. Lester has developed QBs and knows the position. I have a lot more faith in his tutelage than BFs. Did they stick with CM too long? Of course. But, is that on Lester alone? When we have...

    There is a temptation to be verbose when you get paid by the hour, but the most effective lawyers are succinct and organized in their thoughts. You would not have been a shitty lawyer.

    About the Badgers 2024

    Sullivan showed he is an inconsistent passer, but has well-above average mobility. CM demonstrated that he is an inconsistent passer with almost no mobility. So, the offense will certainly be more dangerous. Sullivan needs to protect ball above all else, make a few plays here and there, and...

    Was it a case of temporary blindness or a seizure in his throwing hand?

    Iowa QB Situation Remains Mystery

    Whatever his shortcomings in play this year, by all accounts CM is a good kid and been a good team player. If KF needs to exaggerate an injury as a basis to drop him from the depth chart altogether, I don't have an issue with showing him some dignity by citing to an injury.

    Iowa QB Situation Remains Mystery

    To juxtapose Fry's lengthy (and well-thought out rant), I will just say that I do not blame KF for not declaring a starter now. Why let Wisky know which one of these two vastly different QBs will be starting? And, like us, the Wisky coaches probably know that KF is stubborn and blind enough to...

    Keith Murphy's interview with Chris Doyle

    Bad things happen to good people. I won't deny that. Sometimes someone truly is wrongfully accused of something they did not do. Hell, Doyle may not, in fact, have treated the black kids any different than the white kids. Being an asshole is not illegal, as long as you are an equal asshole...

    Keith Murphy's interview with Chris Doyle

    I appreciate everyone else's comments. I would just add that one thing that this does show is that if you are a general asshole to those around you, that tends to come back and bite you in the ass. Whether you want to call that Karma or Zen or whatever. The golden rule applies. When you...

    This was not a gaffe and I applaud his balls. Look, the metrics actually support this. The success rate for 2 point conversations is just under 50%, but there is also a small chance that you miss the PAT. So, you are rolling the dice. More importantly, the rules say that you flip order for...
