No Way. '05 was less than 8 wins right. So three straight years of 6 or 7 wins. Followed by 9 and 11. It would take four years of 7 or less or three of 6 or less or two of 5 or less wins for me to start to consider it.

YES! Do this... I happened to see Vandenberg after the Minnesota loss, and I was SOO tempted (but didn't) to mention something about facial expression. See I had noticed, during the Penn State and Minnesota games, that after a bad series, Vandenberg is on the sidelines getting coached...

Plenty of people were overwhelmed and frustrated after the 05-07 stretch. Then in 08 the Hawkeyes produced a Doak Walker Award winning, record breaking running back that should've been considered for the Heisman. They lost only four games by a combined 12 points, beat a top 5 team, and one could...

Seems good to me. Had Wisconsin not lost a couple games, everyone would've been saying nobody can beat them. The extra game helps to fully decide a champ. I understand a lot of years you'll probably have teams play each other twice. I just don't want it to be in nearly back to back weeks...

Yes. Simply for the way they bounced back after the Minnesota loss. Their offense is just too inconsistent. There's one key missing piece and that's TE. There isn't anybody playing good consistent football. And plain and simple the defense isn't as good as years past. They must have a top...

By lighter sentence I would hope he's trading Death/1000 years for Life/100 years. Either way still dying in prison. I absolutely refuse to believe this right now though.

I had had a long day of work, so I had been drinking when I wrote that. So as I read it again, I realize how stupid it sounds. At the time I was just thinking in terms of Rape=man + woman Sexual abuse= anybody, and then Sodomy=man + man. That's all. I know what rape means.

D**n people have a short memory. After Minnesota, there were a ton of predictions that Michigan would beat us double digits, and we might not or probably won't win another game. Now we escape with a win against Michigan and all of a sudden there's all these predictions that we win out or lose...

This is sort of a stupid tangent, but isn't it technically sodomy, not rape? And I'm not really defending anyone here, but I think if you see this guy that was apparently (I wasn't following football in early 90's so don't know) well respected and highly regarded doing something so vile, you...

Here's what I wonder: Let's say Iowa puts in Canzeri for one or two plays. Don't run him, just a couple of short passing plays, picking up a few yards. Or run him for one of two plays. Maybe he picks up a couple. Hopefully you're on third and short or first down. Bring Coker back in. Opponent...

As I understand it, the ground CAN assist you in the catch, so long as you maintain control through the end of the catch. I think this just happened within the last couple weeks with an Iowa opponent. The thing is, I simply don't get why the ground rules are different depending on the...

Okay, the first page of posts talked me into it. +20 Since I work weekends on third shift, I go to sleep around 6 or 7am, and 11 am kicks I'm not getting enough sleep, so it was kind of a hassle to watch those games. I said on Saturday I won't get up for the 11am kicks anymore, but...

[/I] That's what I was thinking shortly after the game. The biggest test for this coaching staff is how they pull the team together for next week, and the rest of the season. If they lose bad, then Ferentz may not be around another five years. If they win out then I'd say they're the best...

The old adage stands true once again: Better to win ugly, than lose pretty.

As I said in another post: "In regards to comparing Vandenberg to Stanzi, while many may not want to put that kind of pressure on Vandenberg I think it's worth analyzing. And I'd like to take a psychological approach. It's a well known HawkeyeNation fact that Stanzi had a lot of poise in tough...

In regards to comparing Vandenberg to Stanzi, while many may not want to put that kind of pressure on Vandenberg I think it's worth analyzing. And I'd like to take a psychological approach. It's a well known HawkeyeNation fact that Stanzi had a lot of poise in tough games; he was able to...

I'm not a fair weather fan, but it's been inconvenient for me to watch these games this year. Especially the 11a kicks. So I know definitely I'm not going to force myself to wake up to watch those the rest of the year. 2.30 maybe, but I simply can't imagine they'll win another game.

I've never really said anything about the coaching before today, but if you look at the stats, and see a running back gain 250+ yards on the ground, and then see that the team did 4 straight empty backfield from shotgun passes in the final drive, you've gotta start to believe that that is a...

Just goes to show that pure physical talent isn't everything. We were all wondering if James has what Stanzi had, and that was the mental fortitude and poise to win games on the road. Clearly he doesn't.

I think when he got arrested, it gave the coaches some leverage to move him. Either you move or you're off the team, kinda thing. Because this really worries me if Vandenberg gets hurt. Derby beat out Wienke in a hurry, who's since moved to holder, and Rudock is a true freshmen. Rudock must...
