    Just Leaving This Here...

    Both Iowa and Iowa State are irrelevant programs. Iowa State is in a conference that is irrelevant . They blend right in with their conference. Iowa was only relevant in the Big Ten West. Going to one division really hurts Iowa’s relevance. They may finish on the average in the sixth to...

    QB Difference Maker

    It’s possible they go back before many on this forum were old enough to remember them. I’d take either one of those two over anyone on our roster right now. Hartlieb may have been the best QB at throwing deep balls right on the dime. That seems to be a rarity for an Iowa QB. Long had a...

    Sully out for the season

    You cheered me up and made me smile. Nebraska fans are the most delusional fans around. I always enjoy it when Iowa knocks the delusional right out of them.

    Iowa v Rider Game Thread

    I saw the Washington State game and they looked better than I expected. They will have to grow and improve to be able to compete in the B1G. Someone is going to have to step up and help Freeman. He can’t do it alone down low on defense. Also if that person who steps up can score that will also...

    Iowa-Rider at a Glance

    Well that was an interesting write up. Seriously. You at least made it an interesting read and considering the terrible mismatch, that this game should be that’s an achievement. Thanks for taking time to write that up and for sharing it with all of us. Go HAWK!!!

    Hawkeyes Should Look to Future

    We need to just make the playoffs 32 teams and have no byes either. All teams play in the first round. To reward the better teams they get to start with the lowest seed just like it’s done in basketball. First seed plays the 32nd team, second seed plays the 31st team so forth and so on...

    Hawkeyes Should Look to Future

    I couldn’t agree more. One team is being overly generous to those two conferences.

    Hawkeyes Should Look to Future

    As predicted last week BYU’s day has come. Losing to a 3-6 Kansas team. Will they still be chosen to the playoffs if they win the rest of their games? That will remain to be seen. Do they deserve to be there? I don’t think so. They have barely won two other games on fourth quarter come backs.

    Hawkeyes Should Look to Future

    “Beat your rival on Black Friday and win a bowl against a middle tier SEC team and all of sudden most of us are feeling pretty good about the direction of things” Sorry but getting stomped by Ohio State, Michigan “Twice”, Penn State, and losing to a weaker program, “Iowa State” who is in a...

    Totally agree about the playoffs and how wide open it will be. Also to really see who is really the best rather than knowing that two SEC teams will be playing in the final four each year just because. Until proven other wise right now the Big Ten has the most recent national championship...

    Badara Diakite Commits to Hawkeyes

    The schools who were pursuing him have very respectful basketball programs. I hope we see him grow another inch or two and also live in the weight room and put on another 40 lbs to get ready to muscle around with the Big Ten competition he will be facing.

    Official Hawks Finally Play on Real TV Game Thread

    Lol, your last sentence made me laugh even though it’s not funny and a serious problem in Fran’s approach to basketball. I think after all the years that Fran has been here we can agree that Fran does not put a premium on either teaching or recruiting defense. It is what cost us every March.

    Your last sentence was what I was getting at. I expect improvement the more everyone plays.

    Official Hawks Finally Play on Real TV Game Thread

    I watched a recording of the game when I got home later in the evening. *77 points to South Dakota? Seriously?? At home??? *I know their coach said this is the most athletic team South Dakota has had since he has been there, but come on man. *Of course I have to be fair we played without...

    2024 College Football Survival Pool

    It has a very wacky year. I thought I wa toast going toward the last half of the year. My three favorites teams that I thought could get to the end was Ohio State, Oregon, and Texas. I also had Alabama on that list but Alabama had indicators that gave me pause about them. I was also a little...

    Well Fabfew I guess we are co-champs. Congrats to you! That was a crazy win but BYU’s day is coming. That was a now 4-5 Utah team that it took a miraculous finish to win. Wait until BYU plays a real team if they get to the playoffs. Well that’s a three-peat for me and will likely be my last...

    I am ok with a two way or three way tie. BYU still has to win. If BYU loses it’s a three way tie. I am watching the game right now and Utah is giving BYU all they want as they are up 14-10. I was busy with family today. What the hell happened to Miami????? I figured you had a gimme win.
