Who's to say he will do well in that league? Even if he had three years at Iowa and broke a bunch of records, you still need a good supporting cast. Most importantly an offensive line. I have to imagine there's a ton of really good players in the lower divisions, but don't have the teammates to...

Exactly what I was thinking. With all this stuff that's come out lately, it seems like ANYTIME anyone leaves the program, they must have f***ed up in a big way. I have a ton more respect for Greene now..

I'm more worried about our punter. We shouldn't need to rely heavily on a good field goal kicker, but you ALWAYS need a good punter that can change the game.

Here's what I don't understand. I hear scholarship and think, these kids HAVE to have a scholarship to play football, like it's their little golden ticket to be let in. But can't they just pay their own way and be on the team anyway? Not saying more kids should pay their own way, I'm just...

I think a lot of people forget these are STUDENT athletes. So they're students first. I would imagine most of them have easier majors, or have no major per se, just go for a standard degree (if you can do that), so they can focus on their passion for football. On that note I've heard Coker is...

So here's my question: Why does Iowa seem to have so many more injuries than other teams the last few years? Everyone talks about how good the coaching is in teaching fundamentals. And everyone talks about Chris Doyle. But I thought a good Strength and Conditioning program is supposed to reduce...

I don't necessarily believe Norm should stay with the program. I just think he's either here 100% or he's not. I doubt the University would allow Kirk to fire him, because it would only be on the grounds of health issues. Isn't that illegal? EOE and what-not? So it would have to be forced...

So. So are a lot of the fans. It's really easy to sit here and judge a program from your couch. If you're disappointed, imagine how the players feel. I wouldn't ever say anything negative about the players, because I've never been through what they've been through.

Man I hope you're right. They've been doing the same thing for 12 year's now. Hmm. They won 11 games in 02. They had three straight season of 10 wins. A couple down years. But then come back with a 9 win season and 11 win season. Sounds pretty good to me. I wouldn't be surprised if they have an...

I miss you. I really, really miss you Norm. I understand that your health and well being come first, and I wish you a speedy recovery, but this team really needs you. All year, we had three coaches doing the job of four. Obviously, with you gone, the other three couldn't quite keep up with all...

I got off work at 1.30 am last night. 45 min drive home. Thought to myself, I need to pick up a few things. Not on sale, just some food. Regular items. About 10 mins from home I remember it's Black Friday. $h!t. I get there, and it's not really busy at all (at about 2.30 am). Turns out the mad...

Ricky didn't regress. He just lost his lucky rabbit's foot before the NW game last year.

This is how I would rank Stanzi's deep ball Terrible: 10% Below average: 30% Average: 40% Good: 15% Fantastic: 5% He's hit a lot of good ones this year and last. But he's had some bad ones.

Re: Ferentz 7-23 in games 5pst or less... last year was the only good year for close A lot of people come back to the conservative approach and how you think it gives us a better chance to win. But let's look at a couple of situations. Michigan State in 08. We get into field goal range twice...

I may not even watch the game next week. There's really nothing left to play for. If they blow Minnesota out, which it seems they should, woop-de-doo. If they get beat, I will become severely depressed.

Considering they've played stellar offense all year except the last two weeks, I'm willing to bet about 9 starters on offense have the flu or something. That is the only explanation to the sudden downhill progression.

Your post makes a lot of sense. And after reading it, I think Ferentz is pretty brilliant. Build your defense to stop the teams that are going to contend for titles and be the toughest games to play. Especially if the offenses that score on us, don't have the defense to stop our offense. If you...

How come these are the stories that you never hear? That's amazing to me. The only thing even close to this is last year when we heard about Stanzi and Co. visiting the children's hospital. But with that you really only need to make an appearance once and awhile. Hunter has a full-time commitment..

EXACTLY! Been thinking about Norm's return in that game the last two weeks. Man did the defense look good.

Fitz has only been there for three years right? I'd say he's got his revenge. Time for Ferentz to show who's boss.
