I have been to almost every home game for 25 years. Even though the opponent wasn't necessarily a high impact in terms of emotion/rivalry, it was one of the top 5 games I've been to at Kinnick. Like others have said, I have NEVER heard the IOWA cheer go on as long as it did. It seemed like there...

When is the last time that we could debate which big play was the most important? Man, that's sad and fantastic at the same time.

The fake field goal may have been stupid but it was ballsy and so out of character that I loved it. My kids came running in because they thought we scored with all of my screaming. I had to explain that I wasn't happy because we had score, I was happy because we were finally playing to win and...

After 24 years of season tickets, I am/was fully sick of the BS and spending too much time, money, and emotional energy on football. We decided to miss the home opener so we could watch our own kids play. Eventually, the addiction grabbed hold and we found ourselves in Kinnick for the end of the...

I'd read about this a few times so I should have been prepared for the video. Yet I wasn't. What in the hell goes through a kid's mind when deciding to blindside an adult (or anyone!) who is defenseless?

We take our kids to most of the games (not night games). Remember that you might be used to everything that goes with a football atmosphere but it will be entirely new to them. They will probably be so absorbed in taking in the sights (the band, the tailgating, the flags, the music, the food...

Part of me hopes JR lights it up at Michigan so Ferentz's seat starts to scorch his butt.

Or the same group who asked fans at the Iowa Women's game last weekend to wear red in support of heart health. Only we were playing Indiana. Can't make this up.

We've had season tickets since 1991 (first as students, now as staff) and are dropping from four seats down to two. It's just too easy to find extra, cheaper tickets. Frankly, I can't get myself to pull the trigger and give them up completely. I can see where the $70 olive branch was well...

Wait, so does this mean that GD can just concentrate on 3 yard pass plays on 3rd and 10? Terrific! That should solve everything.

Interesting because he and Eddie have done a lot of criticizing this season.

I hope like hell this means good things for athletics but as an alumnus and current employee of this great institution, this is almost better than anything that could have happened at the PC yesterday.

Iowa grad. Married to an Iowa grad. Raising kids to be diehards. Twenty-three year season ticket holder. I'm honestly wondering if my love for Iowa is worth the money and time this program gets from me too.

If this happened, I'd fall over out of pure shock. But on some level, I wonder if this is really possible. He does look gassed and the level of scrutiny (well deserved!) that he has been under over the last month would make anyone question their future. If he knows he's not the best for this...

Jon just mentioned it on his podcast. I'd tell you the exact numbers but I fell into a depressed stupor immediately after hearing the numbers and just woke up.

You don't need to have played football at a high level in order to be able to dissect it and cover it as a journalist. If so, some of us dissecting it on this board should find other things to do with our time. Dave's pedigree as a journalist is pretty fantastic and he's been a diehard Hawkeye...

If someone had asked this last week, I'd have laughed at the thought of Barta having any control over KF. The backlash that came after the bowl game seems very different from what we have seen in the Ferentz era though. There is undeniable heat and it's coming from the average fan, not just...

I've met KF a handful of times. He seems like a decent, standup guy. Players often talk about the impact he has made on them personally. The city, state and hospital have benefitted tremendously from his generosity. Plus, he's given me some of my favorite football memories. It's still time for...

Schwartz's article was well done and perfectly timed. In a bigger market, it wouldn't make a splash. In Iowa City, it's a piece of interest. Very few local reporters have put out a column or story that calls for Ferentz's job in a reasonable, well thought out manner. I have been told by someone...

If you haven't seen this, it's a great read and essentially sums up the entire Ferentz debacle perfectly. http://hawkeyenation.com/football/schwartz-ferentz-era-ends
