    Will We Have Football in the Fall?

    Howe: Ranking the Big Ten Football Stadiums

    I went up to Minn a few years back and I really enjoyed their stadium (enjoyed it more because we won, of course). But it's a nice stadium, actual seats, easy ticket to get ahold of, and the fans are pretty friendly. Was looking forward to going back for a friday night tilt, but unless...

    Will We Have Football in the Fall?

    But at the end of the day, the NCAA works at the behest of the schools and conferences, not the other way around. They get next to no revenue from college football (unlike college basketball). So I think they're more limited in what they can do within the scope of college football. The...

    Will We Have Football in the Fall?

    I agree that the threat of litigation certainly presents a roadblock. What I'd like to know is what is the NCAAs true role in college football. It's different than it is in college basketball, but to what extent, I don't know.

    Will We Have Football in the Fall?

    This stopped being a medical issue and became a political issue a long time ago. As such, because universities are some of the biggest "political" organizations around, I find it hard to believe that we will have college football this fall. But I could absolutely envision a scenario where the...

    DJK is a college coach

    Didn't he threaten at one point to write a book detailing his time at Iowa and it would include NCAA violations? Yeah, pretty sure he and KF will never be having a beer together.

    Odds to Win the B1G

    Based on this, Vegas "expects" us to finish 4th in the division. I think that's absolute worse case scenario. The West is going to come down to who can win the road game between Iowa, Wisky, and Minnesota. Each plays one road and one home against the other. If we can beat Minny on the road...

    Top Tackle Target Beau Stephens Enjoying Tight Bond with Iowa

    I'm going by what I heard, I think from Morehouse and Dochterman, but it may have been someone else. But anyway, according to them, we were in pretty well early on with Taylor (might have been his first or 2nd offer) and there was real mutual interest, but we backed away when we got the early...

    Top Tackle Target Beau Stephens Enjoying Tight Bond with Iowa

    Of course it's the RBs. When's the last time we had an RB taken by an NFL team even as an UFA? I'm sorry, but if there's no locker room fight in 2010 which causes Melvin Gordon to decommit from Iowa and go to Wisconsin and if Iowa doesn't go after Eno in 2016, which means we probably get...

    Keagan Johnson Decision Shows Where Iowa, Nebraska are as Programs

    I enjoyed the article title's subtle dig at the comments by the former Neb AD when he fired Pelini. In other words, Johnson had to evaluate where Nebraska's program was at in making his decision. Well played Mr. Brown. :)

    FL CB Jordan Oladokun Decommits

    If there is one spot on the team that I'm not concerned with in regards to recruiting, it's CB. Until proven wrong, I'll give Phil the benefit of the doubt. We have a ton of young guys on the roster and I don't think it's a huge deal if we have a year where we're light.

    FL CB Jordan Oladokun Decommits

    I'm certain Iowa would have told him to NOT commit since he hadn't been on campus, but he probably went ahead and did it anyway in order to secure a spot. This is not surprising in the least. The only thing I hope it DOESN'T do is prevent us from getting Ricky Parks. That'd be a nice pickup.

    2021 season look ahead, just for fun

    I'm actually not as concerned about the 2020 schedule as some are. OSU is literally the only game on there where you put an automatic L when you go thru and W/L the schedule. After that, there's not a game on the schedule we can't win. At PSU will certainly be tough, but it's not like we...

    STORY: Hawkeyes Pull Wide Receiver Keagan Johnson Out of Nebraska

    I try not to parse the words of a 17-18 year old. But frankly, I'm not sure I want a kid on the Hawks that is "scared" of a full room. I want kids who embrace competition and are so confident in their abilities that they KNOW they can come in and play....even if it doesn't end up happening...

    Iowa Football Well Positioned for Nebraska Athlete Keagan Johnson

    I'm honestly not all that worried about not having a QB in this class. We've got 3 really talented QBs and frankly, with the transfer portal as accessible as it is, I don't know that it even makes sense anymore to carry more than 3 QBs.

    Iowa Football Well Positioned for Nebraska Athlete Keagan Johnson

    I think if we can pick up: 1. WR Keagan Johnson 2. TE Thomas Fidone 3. RB Ricky Parks 4. WR Skyler Bell 5. OL Michael Myslinski 6. DB Jordan Young 7. RB Markeise Irving 8. DL Austin Booker That puts us at 22 commits, which sounds about right. I think that'll end up being good for somewhere...

    Tyrone Tracy was the only "obvious" omission I saw. The guy is a Swiss Army Knife for us.

    That's for a medical redshirt, I believe.

    Murray Twins

    I think you redshirt Uhlis, Perkins, and one of the Murray twins. Let the other Murray twin plus Ogundale play. That gives you the following: PG - JBo, JT, Connor SG - CJF, JBo, JW SF - JW, PMac, Murray PF - Nunge, Connor, Ogundale C - Garza, Nunge The minutes would look something like...
