    Column: Iowa Football in Strange Place

    Some smoke that this was Goetz's call and Kirk is not on board with it. Who knows yet...

    Bump. Do we have any plane tracker data for Ken, Glen and Chuck?

    Let's face it - moving forward 12-0 is the only acceptable record for Iowa football

    Along those lines, what do you think about this? Kirk is worn down and knows bringing Brian back will be extremely difficult. He goes to Goetz and tells her he'd like to see LeVar get the head job, that he's earned it and is more than ready and that Kirk would like to see as much of the staff...

    Is Kirk right?

    That's why it's mind boggling to me that they haven't played around with a wildcat formation. At this point, I'd be rotating platoons of wildcat. DeJean, whatever running back can handle direct snaps the best, and Lainez. I'm sure it'd be awful, too, but at least you have an additional guy...

    How do the next 4 games go?

    Could easily be the Las Vegas Bowl against a Pac-12 team, maybe even likely that it is. What's crazy is that one is on Dec. 23. Maybe Kirk and family fly home on Christmas Eve, everyone gathers together and reflects...and an announcement comes soon after. Also crazy how Christmas is two months...

    Let's face it - moving forward 12-0 is the only acceptable record for Iowa football

    I barely remember when college basketball implemented the 45 second shot clock. But I do recall stories, including from my dad, about how teams would hold the ball near midcourt and stall for the better part of a half. I always wondered what it would be like to be a fan of a team that won...

    How do the next 4 games go?

    I don't think this is an unreasonable guess. 2-2, Brian gets shuffled around, Barnett gets let go.

    Worst game ever

    Won't they only owe him more like 40 after this season? (6 years at $7M?) Regardless, how do you think he'd try to burn the organization down? What would that look like? I do think his reaction to Goetz firing his son would be a huge variable. I think he is a man of integrity who overall has...

    Questionable Call

    Yep, me too. Part of it was the realization that as soon as the ball came back to midfield, Iowa only needed to go 20 yards in a minute and a half with a timeout. And with a great field goal kicker, the wind at their backs, and at home. And yet there was absolutely zero chance they could go 20...

    The Conundrum that is Iowa Football

    Except Minnesota already has two conference losses and still has to go to Ohio State. They have a tough road to Indy from that standpoint.

    Mid Season All American Team

    If you told me there were 4 Hawkeyes on the team before the start of the season, there is a long list I probably would have guessed ahead of Higgins and Castro. I mean those guys were solid, but seemed like maybe had already become what they were going to be. I probably would have guessed...

    Washington's AD is leaving for USC

    Dochterman reporting she is now a candidate at multiple other universities. It goes back to my original post. I'd be looking for leverage if I were her, too.

    DEACON HILL 2-0 AS A STARTER

    I guess it depends on who you hire to run it. Mike Leach made it work in Pullman, Washington. But yeah - the Badgers offensive staff should be unsettled. They were sitting at 4-1 on the season, and in the midst of a competitive game with a 5-1 rival, and getting the shit booed out of them...

    Really good game by Brian Ferentz

    I said end it like how it started. Kirk works for Ken.

    Really good game by Brian Ferentz

    Wouldn't there be an even higher probability, though, that the next guy in would be Ken? End it like how it started back at Worcester. Last dance.

    Bowl Game 2023

    Seems like the Citrus Bowl would actually be in play. The only rule I could find is that the Citrus needs to take 5 different teams over 6 years. Looks like 5 different teams the last 5 years, so assume Iowa would still be on the table?

    DEACON HILL 2-0 AS A STARTER

    You direct snap to the running back, and when he runs the ball, you have 10 guys blocking. Do you recall watching it with Goodson? Dotcherman did some analysis at one point. Iowa averaged like 6 or 7 yards per play with it. Maybe they don't have the right guy to handle the snap this year. But...
