Every Iowa fan is tired of losing to Wisconsin. And you need to beat a team to be considered its equal. I agree with that. But, it will turn around. The last two years were painful. The ball bouncing off Beyer's foot, and missing on the two point conversion were brutal. A couple of...

I am sure that is a big subset of the overall concern about a career ending injury that might occur in coming back for a final year. Take the money while you can, if you can. However, some jump the gun. There were 117 guys, underclassmen or who had a year of eligibility left but had gotten...

Shouldn't there be some more Hilgenbergs coming along to play football at Iowa?

He may have been taken later, but because Florida has no state income tax, he'll probably end up netting more than a couple of the OTs taken ahead of him. Plus, he gets to play with Brady, and now Gronk. There will be a lot of buzz around the Bucs this fall. Good place for him to go.

Well, that was quick. Looks a bit like Eric Steinbach. Nice if he ends up playing like him. Nice get. Go Hawks!

In my feeble mind, I thought the same thing as Ferentz. AJE dominated Jackson in the Holiday Bowl. The USC QB's shoulder and elbow extend their hardiest snarls and grrrrs to Jackson.

Excellent article. I knew he was killed in a car accident, but didn't know the details. I also wasn't aware of his deep Iowa roots. I enjoy Rick's articles. It's good for all Hawkeye fans to know the history of our school. It gives you another perspective.

If there is a limited schedule this fall, would it need to be uniform, i.e., coming down from the NCAA or would each conference be able to make their own decision? Follow up, if there is a limited schedule, how many games do you think there should/would be?

Being with the same team for the first six seasons isn't a very good barometer for declaring someone to be a bust. Amari Cooper and Todd Gurley were in the first 10. No one would realistically call them a bust. Jameis Winston, while spotty, has started a lot of games - very debatable he's...

Per his logic, why should it just be non-revenue sports that are killed? Any program that doesn't turn a profit should be axed. I don't know about this year, but typically Women's basketball operates in the red. Let's cut that. I don't know about wrestling, but if it's down a nickel...

I watched a show on the NFL Network today ion the 2005 draft. Aaron Rodgers was picked No. 24. Some clubs passed on him because they didn’t like his mechanics. They loved Alex Smith, in part because of his form. In other words, it doesn’t mean sh*t.

Virginia Tech. Never would have guessed there. Good luck to him. Injuries hampered him at Iowa. Hope he has a good final season and that he does average 14 and 7.

Nice. We need football this fall. Don't take that away from us.

They could play BYU 8 times. Or, maybe Army 8 times.

They could start October 3 and play 8 conference games, and still have the bye in there. I'd presuming it would be too hard to make it a 9 game season, without byes, due to scheduling issues, not because the players couldn't do it. That way they could start "off season" training in August...

Granted it wasn't the best OSU team, but winning in Columbus is tough, so I think that makes that pass to Cook even sweeter. I have a friend that says some OSU fans were thanking the Hawks for winning that game, as it led to the firing of Bruce, who they couldn't stand. Of course, having to...

Ronnie was in the NFL in 1987. Kevin was on the team in ‘87.

We'd all have a Merry Christmas.

Hartlieb threw a back shoulder pass before it was known as a back shoulder pass.

Reading a bit on this, the first two years are guaranteed. The team has the option years 3 and 4. The 30th pick in last year’s draft made just under $4 million for 2 years. The 21st player made just over $4 million. The 20th player made around $4.3 million. It goes up after that. It’s...
