Agree with Mike23. Marble gets this bad rap for playing hero ball last year, but it is yet to be tested that without him, Iowa will score better in tight games...I have doubts. Watching ISU last nite, I saw guys just pull up and make shots...Long and Morris are good jumpshooters....do we...

Make sure you find black ponchos for blackout!!

I think KF has not embraced it, because it allows the players a chance to go home for the Weekend and get a little bit of family thanksgiving celebrations. It is a prime slot on a quasi- national holiday National tv exposure. Tradition for Nebby.

Banks started the Wisky game in 2001, but I think McCann was dinged. We lost.

Best blackout I ever attended was White Sox vs Twins in a division playoff game in 2008. When Thome hit the game winning homer in a 1-0 game in the 7th....the place was like a boiling cauldron of witches...looked cool as hell. Hawk fans need to make Kinnick roil on Saturday....go Hawks.

Under the circumstances if KF did not allow him to return, it would be very poor PR for him and the program. I fully suspect that KF was involved in the decision to release this news....and figured he would just cover it in his presser.

Listening to Doug Chapman, former NFL rb, on Big Ten and Beyond, he said he watched the Wisky/Neb game very closely and tried to figure out who was blitzing on Wisky and said he was baffled. Basically, the Badgers are confounding everyone with their blitzes. Maybe, Jakes experience can...

It is all about the wind for passing.....what is the wind forecast? I think the best forecast for Iowa would be sunny and windless. But, if the wind is minimal, even with rain, passing is do-able. The field turf ensures that Gordon and Clemens will have great footing....if we had the...

I think we are all very surprised, but happy with this development.....welcome back, Derrick!! Now, get to class and maintain your academic standing, and tend to your family business....rumor is that his Dad will be moving back to Iowa so DW can remain in school.....well done, DAD! Go Hawks...

[/B] Turner was the #2 overall recruit in the land last year. Texas is loaded. Big , quick, fast and athletic. We will need to bring our A game to not get blown out. Cuse and Cal are not in the Horns league....Hawks should get one in MSG.

I hope they leave Meier in there with Hardy....5 man line. We have to dare Stave to beat us...rather than Gordon. Getting ahead, by double digits, might force them to change a bit...not much tho....they just run., no matter the score. WE need to win the turnover battle. A pick six or two...

Jake played decently on Saturday. But, he is Josh McCown of the Bears last year....QB by numbers. CJ is Jay Cutler.....gun-slinger, golden arm....but can get coaches fired. Give me the gun-slinger in a game like this....who really cares if we get blown out? Lets go for the win!

In 2008, he pulled Ricky Stanzi from the ISU game, and Jake engineered a comeback win. Then the next week, he started Jake, but put in Ricky in the 2nd qtr, then went back to Jake in the 2nd half...we lost, and then he named Ricky the starter for good.

I am ok with raises, as long as the contract length is the same. We need to keep Fran happy, and with a contract that covers 4 years to allow for recruiting. It is justifiable just on the attendance rise alone. The going rate in the Big Ten is around 1.8 million or more, so it is not like...

I agree with this and hope that this class proves to be that foundational crew.....could be. Did not mean to pour cold water on fans....I do like this class....just noting that 11th ranking...did not make it up. It seems that if KF has the 11th rated class in the league in football ( truly...

I agree that we have done poorly at finding and retaining RBs.....if Melvin Gordon honors his commitment, things would have been different....same with James White and Clay....Wisky has drank our milkshake.

Re: How much of the success of the early Ferentz years (02,03,04) can be attributed t So you are suggesting that if Hayden never retires, we go on that run? No. They lost all those games in 1999 and 2000 for a reason...the cupboard was bare.

Rhoads gets more time, but not KF? KF has earned much more loyalty than Rhoads with his record. Three time Big Ten COY, two league titles, the good times that have allowed financing of over 150 million in improvements in our football facilities.....sorry, but you do not fire him after a season...

Sometimes coordinators translate to head coaches well, and sometimes they are exposed as not up to head coaching mantle. Narduzzi and Herman are guys who will be on short lists in the offseason. Know this, if Iowa pays KF 14 million to go away, they will not be offering 4 million/yr that will...

Are you posting the same type of message to ISU fans and their coach? Fire everybody!!! That is the answer? Spend 14 million to get rid of a coach? Next.
