    Why the constant Rudock loving?

    Rudock probably knows he's not an NFL caliber quarterback. He was accepted to the Michigan medical school, one of the top med schools in the country. Ferentz wouldn't take the opportunity away from him, and perhaps football wasn't the only reason he left. It was smart for him to leave, and for a...

    Player Spears Ref

    At first viewing I thought a person could argue that the first kid could have been running to the ball carrier, expected the ref to move, but he didn't so he collided. Obviously the second kid did target. But after the second viewing neither looks even close to "accidental".

    Coaches hot seat rankings.

    Yeah Paul Rhoades at #1? After selling out their opener. After a dismal season, which is unprecedented. I'd say that still shows a lot of enthusiasm by the fan base, which is just odd. But he certainly isn't on the hot seat in Ames.

    Can anyone recall a KF starter

    If I remember correctly, Mossbrucker over Murray. Then Murray got it back. I seem to recall a lot of hype over Mossbrucker, then he just disappeared into obscurity.

    Riley McCarron and the fair catch

    Maybe Kirk was super confident in our defense that he didn't feel it necessary for us to get all the yardage on returns as possible, but felt he DID have to give Beathard the biggest challenge possible.

    Who would you want to Replace KF?

    Just throwing it out there. Bill Snyder?? Or is the rest of his career at KState?

    Iowa's best kicker transferred...

    It wasn't just that they were wide.. A couple of them looked wobbly and took a strange path as if there were 50mph swirling winds.

    A good number not to know..

    Such children. No point in posting on this forum.

    A good number not to know..

    ..is Desmond King's. I can't recall ever hearing the announcers mention his name. So he must be doing his job covering the receiver if the ball is never going his way. I was impressed by his development last year, and feel he might be that one quiet guy that helps in a big way that no one talks...

    ESPN Bias -- More Evidence

    I used to think talking about bias was silly. But, apparently, the new SEC Network is produced by ESPN. So OF COURSE there's bias. I'm curious how much money comes in for SEC games versus B1G games. If it's more for SEC then of course you'll have bias for that as well. Follow the money.

    Scheduling night games

    I work weekends and I work nights, so it's always a bit of a disappointment to see a night game on the schedule since I can't take time off that short of notice. Does Iowa still not schedule night games in November? Because it looks like only night game possibilities are in that month. If I...

    Moment of Silence.

    Funny, that was the very first college visit I did. I liked the sound of the academics, but I certainly picked up the vibe you're talking about. Instead I went to Coe where the men are boys, the girls are plentiful and sexy, and the school hosts an annual on-campus kegger and cancels classes.

    Players who have surprised you this year

    I'm going a different direction. Weisman is slightly a disappointment. He's got 700+ yards and I woulda hoped 1200 range by now.

    Progress is Being Made with the Program

    Never. Not even a good 4 win team. Worse than bad. They're better but still an enigma to me at times this year.

    Progress is Being Made with the Program

    While I try to be very optimistic about this team, I don't like the argument about how good the teams are that beat us. NIU could be considered misleading considering their conference. And besides a good half at OSU we've been thoroughly dominated in the last 10 quarters of losses. Then who've...

    The Loudest Kinnick Stadium in the Ferentz Era

    So Penn State 08 wasn't loud?... Even after Murray kicks the game winner??? I got to deal to him a couple months ago..haha he's a small dude, just as you'd expect kickers to be I guess..

    Iowa Football: A Tale of Two Halves

    One thing I've wondered about.. When did that Rhabdo incident happen? Summer before 2010 season? I've been curious if the workout regimen changed since then. I don't know, that's probably grasping at straws..

    One Negative, One Positive

    +The passing game is vastly improved over last year. - There's still not enough deep passing plays. And outside OSU, not enough play action.

    ***OFFICIAL HAWKS VS O$U PREDICTION THREAD***

    I already posted this in the "unofficial" prediction thread.. So figured I better do it here too. Iowa down by 7-10, driving deep into OSU territory late in the fourth when Rudock throws an interception. OSU eats the rest of the clock and kicks a field goal. 34-24 sort of range...
