I guess we'll just agree to disagree. If you've never seen an NBA game from when Bird, Magic or Jordan was playing you won't know what I mean.

You must not have watched the NBA for while. D is much better and emphasized since they started allowing zone defense.

I didn't remember he was first team in 2014. Must have been a weak year for bigs.

Kaminski had a good, but not great junior year. I don't think anyone expected him to go pro then. His senior year was when he became a force.

It looked to me last night like Pemsl is finally starting to find his game again. The Hawks could sure use him.

For those dissing on James Morris: 399 career tackles In 2013 he had 110 tackles, including 17 tackles for loss and 7 sacks. Not too shabby. I guess maybe he wasn't as slow and hard to watch as some of you seem to remember.

Anyone worried about next year's QB play should just chill cuz everyone knows that all QB's under Ferentz are best their first year, then regress. (That was sarcasm in case you can't tell)

I didn't see the fumble that was overturned, but the targeting call was also complete BS. The OSU defender went in to make a textbook tackle and the Clemson QB lowered his head into the defenders helmet. I guess QBs should just be taught to do that anytime they are being sacked.

I wonder why ESPN wouldn't show a replay during the five minute review of the 'forced out of bounds and re-established' play, which by the way was an absolutely incredible scramble and throw by the LSU QB. I can see why he won the Heisman after watching him for the first time today.

So as that game good enough for the haters (both of the Ferentz and Stanley variety)? Yeah, I know, it'll be all "Why weren't they doing that all year?" Though I'm kinda wondering the same thing. Anyway, Great win over a big name program!

Kirk elaborates on the reason Iowa's run game has struggled in the last few years in this Chad Leistekow interview. He makes a lot of sense and indicates Iowa's blocking scheme may change. Lots of other good stuff in the interview...

There are five other teams in the division that would probably like to win, too. But then, they don't have all the advantages that Iowa has, right? Since "Iowa is special" and all. Until Alvarez is gone and can't give their football and basketball teams whatever special sauce it is he feeds...

How could "we" be so wrong? LOL! Message boards are mostly for people who want to bitch and moan about the coaches, players, AD, blah, blah, blah. Those of us who are happy with mediocrity don't post much.

Stoops at #29? I don't think so. I would swap him at #29 and Bill Snyder at #51. Snyder had a much harder row to hoe at Kansas State.

Seriously? Did you even watch the game? Toussaint was completely outmatched last night. It was painful to watch. That would be the last thing I would criticize Fran for.

Take a look at Patrick's square shoulders. That is a sign of strength and flexibility for a big man (think Kevin McHale or Dirk Nowitzki). I think he'll do just fine, especially as he grows into his body.

You mean a decent P5 team like the Clowns, Purdue, the Fuskers, or Tennessee? It was the first game of the season breaking in a lot of new faces, especially with Jackson's injury. Most teams struggle to be consistent in the first half of their first game. Give it a rest.

John Clayton has a mock draft in the Washington Post that has an unknown Hawkeye player being drafted by the Raiders at #29: 27. Oakland Raiders: George Fant, TE, Iowa

Well big frigging whoop. I've been a fan since the Sharm Scheurman days and I love Fran.

Yeah, I liked how Collins was out there making every shot he threw up while also playing that great D causing the Hawks to miss layup after layup. Fran didn't get out-coached, though the haters would like us to think so. jNW had a hot shooting game and the Hawks were missing bunnies. Sh*t happens.
