If you get BT+ you can watch the replay. First half was close but that's because Fran played everyone. Played it a little tighter in the 2nd half. I think they will be able to consistently score better than last year where they would go through small or short stints where getting a bucket was...

Thoughts? I thought Josh Dix looked really good. I was overwhelmed by all the new guys and trying to keep them straight. I don't think this is going to be a really deep team. I think you've got your core 5 of Harding Dix Ladje Payton Sandfort Owen Freeman all of those guys are going to be...

Fran’s recruiting has steadily gotten better over the years. It’s still humming, and that’s more because of the eye Fran has and his ability to develop, We’re getting so many kids now from out of state that never would have been on Iowa’s radar in the past. And while he hasn’t landed that stud...

lol, this is one of his best recruiting cycles since Fran came to IC, we only have 1 Sr. who is really a big contributor who will be gone off of next year's team and Fran is pretty good at retention. Not to mention 2 4 star recruits coming in as Freshman. One might say the future is brighter...

In the last 14 years, Iowa has won 65% of their games, only had one losing season, it's only undefeated 12-0 regular season in school history .... anyone who's looking at the current landscape of CFB and thinks Iowa is going to be trending towards better than that are in for a pretty harsh...

jfc you guys are dumb.... this stretch, this tenure, this coaching staff, these last 15 years or so, is likely going to go down as some of the best times Iowa has ever walked onto a football field as far as winning. KF is the GOAT and soon to be gone. Most really won't be able to handle being...

Kirk isn't wired that way and IMO, I have no problem with that. Kirk wants to win as many games as he can THIS year. Heck, he doesn't even care about the game in 2 weeks, he's only focused on the next game... so to pine for him to think about next year and the year after that... he's just not...

He also built his team to win the B1G West every year. He got pretty good at that towards the end right? I can’t blame him for a winning strategy. The landscape has changed and I’m not confident Kirk’s the guy to lead us where we go next. I’m a KF and BF fan and I believe these are truely the...

I’ve been saying exactly that for 2 days now lol.

So, if two top 25 teams play in the CCG or bowl game and the loser is knocked out of the top 25 because they lost to Iowa, that doesn't count. Gotcha. Extremely weird way to look at things. I mean, I almost assure that no one knows, remembers or would bother looking up some of Iowa's all-time...

So, top 25 wins only count if the team they beat ends up in the top 25? Which, defies logic in thought because teams that lose, typically don't end up in the top 25. I definitely count them, mostly because everywhere else counts them...ya know, like ESPN, Sports Reference and literally...

Sometimes I gotta remember who I am battling on this site. 2019 - Iowa beat #7 MN, #22 USC 2020 - Iowa beat # 24 IL, #25 WI 2021 - Iowa beat #9 ISU, #17 IU, #4 PSU When you're leading statement is so blatantly false, I just stop reading the rest.

Unless that # 2 was a big part of your success. I believe that Brian was that. Former player and son of our legendary HOF coach. He carried weight in those halls, in that locker room, with those players and other coaches. Iowa won more games when he was here. Our floor became 8 wins instead of...

I do. BF was literally #2. I mean, I knew that the change was going to make a negative impact on the program over-all because that same thing had happened before when Iowa made big changes in it's coordinators in the past... and it didn't go well, so I at the very least knew a likely step...

I was shocked at how many people told me I was wrong when we made so many shifts in the coaching staff in the OC. I mentioned how bad major coordinator replacements had gone previously under Ferentz. I realize the offense is better, but, when you put all your focus on the offense, other things...

I'd put Dix there instead of Brock because of what he flashed towards the end of last year, but yeah. How many teams have a better core then Freeman, Dix and Sandfort?

FWIW - Ken Pom has Iowa ranked 6th in the B1G, which is much closer to where I think they will end up.

I got Iowa 11-0 in the non con and 21-10 over all. I think you could swap a few of those and I am sure there are a couple of wins I don't see coming and a few losses I don't see coming.... but I think 21-10 and easily in the dance and fighting for a better seed heading to the BTT. Whatcha guys...

The people picking Iowa 15th and 16th are pretty dumb people

I was way wrong about Iowa’s offense, huge improvements at every level.
