    Last Bama Score was low class

    This. It was Hayden Fry who said, rightly, that it is the job of the defense to stop the offense from scoring. If you don't want to be embarrassed or had more points put on the board against you then play defense. iahawk72

    Last Bama Score was low class

    You mean kind of like Tom Brands. I think that that intensity and personality is the reason he has won everywhere he has been in the college game and the reason Alabama is National Champions. Do I think he is an ***, absolutely. But he is an *** that wins and I respect that. iahawk72

    Linebacking core next year

    Re: I have a question, spudhawk. I think that one has to understand that WLB and SLB are two completely different positions even though they share the title of linebacker. The WLB will typically get the opportunity to make a lot of plays on running downs. Traditionally, they are the smallest...

    One of the biggest plays last night

    was Stross' catch for a first down late in the 4th. When the game is on the line, Iowa needs a 1st down (it was 3rd down) and one of their best receivers is out of the game (DJK), Trey Stross playing with a torn MCL makes a huge, huge, huge catch. That was a senior making a senior play in the...

    Another reason the Orange Bowl is an elite bowl

    Not only do the teams get a police escort when traveling around town but they have more than a dozen escorting and stopping traffic. Other than for the president and other dignitaries, I am not sure I have ever seen that. That is pretty cool treatment. And on top of that, the motorcycle cops...

    Pacific Ten to Consider Expansion

    So, let's say the Big Ten adds Missouri and one of the two teams that the Pac 10 adds is Colorado. The Pac 10 becomes the Pac 12, the Big 10 becomes the Big 12 and the Big 12 becomes the Big 10.

    I know that once you become the hunted

    it is sometimes harder to match the intensity of the teams that are the hunter that want to knock you off. But if comments from national media types like Bradshaw and company aren't enough to come out and play a full 4 quarter game like they played in the 4th quarter of Saturday's game, then I...

    KF: AR 'probably' done for season.

    I believe that Iowa is done with recruiting

    as of right now. I think they believe they have two more spots available and they are holding them today for: CJ Fiedorwicz Tobi Okuyemi Now someone could very well emerge in the months to come if nothing happens with either of those two. Or they could simply be done at that point as...

    Burning Redshirts with 4 Games Left

    AGREED. If Paki was a capable back you would not have seen the staff abandon him as quickly as they did in the UNI game and thereafter. Not this staff. iahawk72

    Burning Redshirts with 4 Games Left

    Couple of things. 1. Above I said that if Iowa pulled the redshirt on Brad Rogers that they would have 4 sophomore RBs next year. The number would actually be 5. I had forgot about Jeff Brinson. Hampton, Brinson, Wegher, Robinson, ????? 2. I know I have been focused on Brad Rogers...

    Burning Redshirts with 4 Games Left

    Here is a question to ponder. Hypothetically speaking, let's say that Robinson is on the shelf for at least 2 weeks if not more. Brandon Wegher is banged up, which I believe to be the case and Brinson is still not healthy enough. If you are the Iowa coaching staff do you give serious...

    Friday Newstand (links)

    Works, thanks. I am not use to seeing the code appear in the message. Is it possible to have an icon where you can select an option to see any editing changes you make in your post appear as they will when you post it as opposed to only seeing text like:

    Jon, have you given any thought to

    Understand. It probably sounds elitest but there was a definite, I think, quality difference between the Clubhouse and the freeboards. Not all posters on the free boards are or were bad but I just felt like there wasn't as much 'wading' through 'trash' in the Clubhouse. Hopefully dealing...

    Jon, have you given any thought to

    creating a Clubhouse style board here that requires your approval for posting there? It would still be free just that you would be able to limit who posts there? I see posters like Digger getting ripped on and I hope they don't tire of posting here because of it. For those that were...

    Suggestions, issues, etc, post them here

    Jon, Like the site. Couple of suggestions if they haven't already been made: 1. Have quick links at the top of each message board for the following(note I realize that they are under Forum Tools but would be easier not having to go to that drop down menu): -Post a New Thread -Mark This...
