For the most part, I agree. However, what kills me is that against NW (and even ISU) Iowa continues to run at a stacked box all game. It's really not conservative that they continue to do it, but it just doesn't make sense. Why doesn't Iowa make teams pay for stacking the box? Year after...

I wonder if NE fans stayed after the game to clap for Minnesota when they left the field? (stupid tradition). NE fans always talk about being the greatest fans in the world. That was only because they won a lot. There was an article in the local paper about NE football becoming boring and...

This 'style' is the same or similar style that led to two 11 win seasons, three straight top 8 seasons and four end of year top 10 rankings during the KF era, more than any coach in Iowa history. When that happened, this "style" was more the norm. Now, fans want high scoring offenses with QBs...

I must not have said that well. KF is not bad like TL. Both have/had a style that is not popular with most fan bases.

If you want to exclude the WM game, you need to do the same for every other team in the nation. They all played a game or two against inferior talent. Take out the Michigan State game against the best defense in the nation and the average is 29.3 pts a game. It's easy to manipulate numbers.

One of the problems is that KF is similar to the Todd Lickliter of football. It's just not the style most fans want to see. I don't mind the game plan . . . ball control, win with defense. In the last two years, KF has tried to adjust (with the hire of Greg Davis) however, KF just doesn't...

I agree. I y like Weisman. He gets a lot of tough yards. However, if Iowa had a really good running back, some of those 10 yard runs would be 30 yard runs and maybe even a TD. Iowa's RB's just don't have the ability to break the big run. That really hurts this offense (and any offense).

KF's team is averaging 27.4 pts a game. That is two points off the record breaking average. Is KF good or bad?

It's not great, but all I wanted to see this year was 6 wins. I wasn't sure where the wins would come from after losing the 1st game, but right now 6 wins is very possible. I don't see a win against Wisc, but either Mich or NE could be a 7th win and that would be a remarkable improvement over...

Wisc -16

I would have guessed 19. That being said, if Iowa cover 17 or 19, I would consider that a good day. I just hope it doesn't get to 30+.

If they decide to do anything different, don't let the same individuals that designed last years alternate uniform anywhere near the next design.

Thats only because they have been winning. Look at their basketball fans. They all became Creighton fans and gave up on NE basketball. They must be the greatest fans in the world.

Could a university even reimburse them or is that against NCAA rules?

Iowa should have a chance in the next 4. Then add in Purdue. It wouldn't surprise me to see Iowa upset someone. 6 isn't out of reach yet.

Maybe it is wishful thinking but . . . I would lose all respect if he was fired and still took all that money. The lifetime contract greatly compensated Kirk for all his success. I still think he does the right thing when or if it comes to that. I hope they at least win 6 games and don't...

If Iowa wins less than 6 games, do you think there is any chance KF retires? He has always been a stand up person. Maybe he would just walk away.

We are staying at the Super 7. I was told it was the 4 star hotel. Isn't there a sports column and another bar just down from the stadium?

We were thinking about going to the bars in Coralville by all the hotels before the game. How crowded do they get? It's walking distance to the stadium isn't it?

It seems that all of Iowa's opponents have made late game charges and Iowa was able to hold them off. Nice to see after all the blown leads last season.
