Those two backs for OSU were pretty F'ing good. But, when you have a QB with a strong arm and three NFL 1st rounders in your WR room, its hard to ground and pound all day.

Rob's prediction is a bit too much for my comfort level, but I am not far off. With Vegas having us as a 5.5 favorite on the road really means that Vegas thinks Iowa is a TD better team than Sparty overall. That seems right. And, running games and solid defense tend to travel. See the Minny...

Except the age of his current boss makes things a bit unstable at Iowa. If KF retires or is retired and they don't hire from within, he might not be retained. I agree he should stay at Iowa the next couple years, I guess my point is that if he has a couple years at Iowa where the offense and...

As the saying goes, three things can happen when you throw the football, and two of them are bad!

That makes way too much sense. Stop it.

While that is true, that is not why I will check out. College football is obviously inferior to the NFL product, but it should be because its a bunch of kids. Its also more fun. Its on campus, with bands and cheerleaders made up of other kids, and a student section filled with drunk other...

Even better....

All true, but the biggest problem is that the two most powerful men in college football are the commissioners of the SEC and Big10. How many men in power do you know of voluntarily give up that power for the betterment of their constituents? The Commissioner's wont give up their authority...

The Iowa School of American Punting. I love it!!

Believe me or not, but I saw this article right AFTER I posted my thoughts above. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/2024/10/15/college-football-playoff-bracket-projection-alabama/75676963007/?tbref=hp

At this early stage, I see: 3 SEC 3 Big10 2 Big 12 2 ACC Notre Dame Best Group of 5 Obviously, a lot would need to happen for Iowa, Wisky, or Nebbie to climb into the Top 3 of the conference, but there is a lot of football to be played. To even be in consideration, at least one of the three...

Agreed. Johnson jumps this year if he is healthy. In fact, hot take, I would be surprised if he plays in whatever bowl game we play in. If Lester is smart, he sticks with Iowa for a few years. If he keeps up the trend and turns the offense into something resembling average, that will be...

They did win the NC last year. They won't keep it though.

Then they should have more of a homefield advantage and not get boat raced by Texas or nearly knocked off by the Goofers.

This is mostly rhetorical because I know how the word works. But compare Iowa and Michigan this year: Two non-con scrub games, one of which Michigan struggled with. Iowa took care of business in both. Both took a beat down by a Top 5 team, but Michigan got drubbed in the Big House. Iowa in...

+1 If Beth has to put KF out to pasture, he won't want a voice or get a voice in who replaces him. If there is sort of a mutual retirement, Beth will hear him out, but that is about it. In the dream scenario where KF makes the playoffs, somehow pulls off 12 wins, and hangs 'em up on top...

It will include Iowa. Yes, we are not OSU, but few are. OSU and Bama and Texas and Oregon need someone to play. The reality is that we need to get dark money out, and pay these players through the massive TV revenue that is garnered and do so with some level of equality between the schools...

I lean Iowa here. KF tends to get a good result when things are at their darkest. Home cooking and Washington playing at 9 in the morning in their body clocks should play in Iowa's favor. Iowa 24 Wash 21

Watching the disparity of talent was disconcerting. NIL has seemingly widened the gap between the Haves, sorta Haves (us) and the really Have Nots. I have posted this before, but sports that do not provide at least some level of parity tend to become marginalized. Anyone check on MLB playoff...
