    Washed up Walkons this week

    There are ways to go about this and I thought the blasts on Twitter were the wrong way to do it because as it was posted above I believe social media is not the way to communicate something like this or really much of anything important. If the players felt that they could only get the point...

    University of Iowa Cuts Ties With Chris Doyle.

    I am also wondering if there is a suit if any statute of limitations have taken affect. I was reading that depending on your individual states laws if a complaint is not filed in 300 days of the event then it is outside the limitations. I am not a lawyer either so I am sure there are other...

    University of Iowa Cuts Ties With Chris Doyle.

    Does this spell the end for Doyle as an active coach? He is 51 and has the opportunity to watch Dillon play ball over the next few years and will have enough money to live comfortably. Does he walk away completely or take a break? With all that has been said about him I would find it hard...

    Washed up Walkons this week

    I am not around the program enough to see if there is a difference in how Doyle acted around players or around the coaching staff and team. Is he much more pleasant on game day when the other coaches and people outside the program are on the sidelines? I know with contact time restrictions...

    Iowa Adds Troy to '24 Schedule, Adjusts '23 Dates

    Lots of things can happen in teh upcoming year especially with the transfer portal situations going on all over college sports. I wouldn't count our chickens before they hatch. Unfortunately I have seen Iowa get upset by teams they were supposedly supposed to beat for the past 35 years...

    What does BrianF doing with the playbook in 2020?

    Yes there is but for the last several years Iowa has had a nationally stout defense. I would be willing to bet he has gone full speed in practice against some of those guys. Every year we play someone with a new 1st year QB and many have been successful against our defense. My whole point and...

    Booker to Minny

    The Covid thing is really going to hurt the Gophers in teh next few years due to their budget shortfall. They have already given PJ and many of the other team coaches pay cuts due to the loss in revenue. IF the gophers are successful I don't see PJ sticking around for small potatoes. Plus...

    What does BrianF doing with the playbook in 2020?

    I guess I am not sure why you would need to bring him along slowly if he knows the offense. By all accounts from last year Stanley and the other coaches were saying Petras knew the offense just as well as Stanley did. If that is the case why would you need to hold him back? The whole playbook...

    George Kittle Contract Negotiations

    This is where the NFL contracts can really screw some guys over especially the franchise tagging. Its my opinion with George's personality and likeability the majority of his career money isn't going to be made from the NFL but other endorsements. If he can become the face of a brand such as...

    Mount Rushmore of point guards

    There are only 4 heads on Mount Rushmore though and as good of players as either one of those guys were they do not take any of them off. Now if you are doing a ranking of a top 5 or top 10 then they are for sure on the list but I don't think either are top 4. Just my opinion though

    How Hawkeyes Have Rebounded Nicely from Forgettable Finish in '14

    The QB dynamic is interesting and cannot be underestimated. I just recently listened to an interview with a former Viking (Can't remember who it was) who was talking about playing with Favre after he came over from GB and he said once Favre got familiar with everyone the belief in him and...

    Iowa at #25 in Athlon Poll

    All of these polls are just for talking and gaining some hype for pre-season. They don't mean anything until at least week 5-6. The last poll is the one that really counts

    DJ Johnson in Transfer Portal

    I get it but you are always just an injury away from getting some PT. Look how many guys we were down last year at the beginning of the year. Lots of things can happen pretty quickly. Too bad as he seemed like a good kid, hope he does well wherever he land

    DJK is a college coach

    My take on it was with DJK's failure to finish and getting in trouble I think KF really felt bad and felt some failure on his part as well. From all reports he tried to use a tough love attitude with him and it failed. Also, lets to be honest he is one of the top 1 or 2 naturally gifted...

    Top Tackle Target Beau Stephens Enjoying Tight Bond with Iowa

    I think scheme has played a part as well and in particular based on the talent at back in the game at the time. I don't think you can just have one system for all. If you take Wadley and Daniels both could cut back and had the speed to create a big gain but the overall traits were much...

    Top Tackle Target Beau Stephens Enjoying Tight Bond with Iowa

    Agreed, it was glaringly apparent that after we had the injuries there were guys that stepped in that were not ready and unfortunately had been guys in the system for a few years such as the Paulsens. At some point you have to live with your recruits and hope that they step up when given the...

    BJ Armstrong on dinner he had with Michael Jordan - Kobe Bryant

    Agree about Kobe and some of his traits being manufactured and I think some of that is from his relationship with Michael and how he was asking MJ for advice on how to get better. I also think if you go back and ask Kobe's teammates about him as a guy and what he was like I think it would be...

    Top Tackle Target Beau Stephens Enjoying Tight Bond with Iowa

    Part of the issue with the run game is guys either being injured or forced to play before they were really ready due to attrition. If James Daniels hadn't left early it would have given some guys an extra year for experience. Then looking back as recently as last year we had some crucial...

    Top Tackle Target Beau Stephens Enjoying Tight Bond with Iowa

    Your Avatar answers your question, its Iowa. Same reason why Garza didn't win POTY. Iowa isn't the sexy pick and nothing is going to be handed to you, you'll have to work for it every year. How many 4-5 star kids out there would come to Iowa and expect to start from day one and not have to...

    Top Tackle Target Beau Stephens Enjoying Tight Bond with Iowa

    It is going to get very interesting for ALL teams/schools if this pandemic lasts into the season. You have Minnesota and Wisconsin already talking about major athletic budget issues with the AD at Minnesota saying all options are on the table. How will this affect recruiting? How does this...
