    DJ Johnson in Transfer Portal

    Not saying this is the reason, but Phil Parker isn’t for everyone. Hell, OJ lost his job at least once every year and that guy was a 3rd round pick. Some guys just don’t like Phil’s style...and that’s okay.

    If You Could Only Have 1 Hawkeye Sport in '20-21

    Even with a potential historic season in basketball a possibility, there's been too much scar tissue built up over the last several years for me regarding the program's performance over an entire season. For me, there's nothing like football Saturdays. Couple that with a 1st year QB (which...

    There's a few things that make me scratch my head regarding the DBs, but until Phil royally fucks something up, I'm going to assume he's got a handle on it.

    Fox B1G conference odds

    With KOK coaching QBs and Iowa's track record for 1st year QBs in the KF/KOK system, I think we're golden! :)

    1. Assuming Luka comes back, this team reminds me a lot of the 2014-2015 Badger team that made it to the Nat'l Title game with all the experience and similar talent levels of Kaminski/Garza and other role players. Is it too much to ask to have a similar season to that (assuming no injuries) or...

    Please Post Questions for 5/20 Mailbag Pod Here

    1. Is it your sense that the staff would be fine if there were no QB commit in this class? 2. Do you think Skyler Bell delayed his commit date because Iowa was full and he was planning on committing to Iowa? Would Iowa take a 4th WR in this class? 3. Every year there's a "story" that emerges...

    Fox B1G conference odds

    The easier way to understand when the odds are negative is "How much do I have to wager to win $100?" In this case, you would have to wager $225 to win $100. When it's positive, it's "How much will I win with a $100 bet?" So in the case of Iowa, a $100 bet would win you $2,000.

    Samson Evans in Transfer Portal

    That's interesting. I remember when he made his announcement that he was leaving school and football to take a job, I was thinking, "Well, that's an interesting path to take...."

    Nice article on Marshal Yanda

    That was my thought too. I love the Hitman as much as anyone, but the guy only played in a total of 50 games because of injuries. One NFL DPOY doesn't get you to the HOF.

    We had Kreiner, which was huge in spelling Garza. But Nunge isn't Kreiner. Kreiner was an inside guy who could occasionally step outside. Nunge is an outside guy who can occasionally step inside. Big difference. We need that post guy that can spell Garza....even if it's only for 3-4 mins...

    Will We Have Football in the Fall?

    I've gone back and forth on this for the last few weeks. At the end of the day, from what the data tells us (especially some of the serology tests), this thing was much more prevalent within the population, which means the mortality rate was a lot lower than we first thought. If you are under...

    HN's Full Rundown of Fran's Presser Today

    With the 20 game conference schedule, plus Gavitt game, plus ACC/B1G Challenge game, plus Iowa State....I don't really care who we play after that as long as we avoid the 300+ NET teams.

    Samson Evans in Transfer Portal

    If I remember right, Jenkins is done with both football and school. He took a job somewhere...maybe construction? The writing was sort of on the wall with Evans, given the fact he wasn't even included on the summer invite list last year and remained buried on the depth chart without a real...

    Player Earnings in the Ferentz Era

    Joe Burrow is going to get 4 years, $36M with $24 guaranteed. Sam Bradford got 6 years, $78M with $50M guaranteed. Yeah, it was good to be a first round pick awhile back....

    MAC Eliminating 8 Postseason Tourneys, Contracting Hoops Tourney

    It's the freaking "fuel surcharge" in reverse. Gas went up to north of $3/gallon, companies started putting fuel surcharges on their visits....and they never left. Why the hell is the trash company charging me a "fuel surcharge" when gas was down to $1.20 recently?

    STORY: Looking Ahead to Big Ten Basketball's '20-21 Season, How Iowa Fits In

    I hate Purdue, but until we decide to play defense, I'm afraid they're going to continue to thrust their fist into our chest, pull out our beating heart, and show it to us....all the time, laughing in our face! :)

    Will We Have Football in the Fall?

    Make no mistake, JP cut his teeth under Barry, who might be the biggest "everyone, over here, look at me" AD in the history of ADs....so it stands to reason that JP has managed to follow in those footsteps.

    He may be the least ready, but he's going to have to get ready because we only have 1 true post (Luka) on the roster other than him. Nunge is not a true post player.
