    Predict the score against our Mountain West opponent

    I think Vegas is currently out of the loop w/ the Hawks. I have a feeling that my 7 win prediction in another thread is going to be to low. The Hawkeye pass rush will be sustainable through out the game and help keep Wyoming out of the endzone. Going to go 28-3 Hawks on a strong running game w/...

    Was it just me, or...

    They have their season w/ the most wins in their Hawkeye career the year they start outright. Hope KOK is given Carte Blanche and his preseason choice sticks. If it shakes out like that we have nothing to worry about ;-)

    Was it just me, or...

    A QB must emerge soon. There is too much returning to squander on a QB controversy. The Hawks may be able to survive the growing pains of a greenhorn but a game of QB roulette that lasts into the B!G will insure mediocrity. When KF hinted at another grad transfer earlier this week I was...

    4 Tight End sets

    When I first read this I thought ??? but thinking about it essentially all GD did was eliminate about 25% of the existing plays and then used what was left in a situational fashion. That last part was lost on the players who came from KOK's system where fundamentally they ran similar plays. The...

    My 2017 Iowa Football Prediction

    How about the best tandem since Daniels and Wadley? I mean Iowa had TWO 1000 yard rushers last year. It's unfortunate there wasn't a comparable WR tandem.

    Iowa gets grad transfer from Nevada

    The "etc".. got me thinking. Realizing that Wadley is possibly Heisman material and having no known quantities behind him (read DMX departure) this is really a solid conservative move. There are going to be issues at WR and having to worry about who is toting the rock would be a huge...

    Iowa gets grad transfer from Nevada

    Let me just say - Ron Coluzzi. A huge reason for last year's success. I was hoping for a QB, or a WR. Interesting move. Got to be BF. Another year with two 1000 yard rushers in the works?

    My 2017 Iowa Football Prediction

    And DMX chose to leave... Hopefully it was because he felt that the young talent was better. Probably not, but still a possibility.

    My 2017 Iowa Football Prediction

    Yup, you are correct-it is normalized to 10. Subliminally I must have wanted 8 wins and the cold, hard, facts were overridden by my desire to get there. So the question now is MSU or Nebraska...

    4 Tight End sets

    Lest we forget, Iowa debuted a 3 TE package against tOSU in 2013 w/ some very good success. An inexperienced D with a lack of gap discipline was the major factor in that close loss. Still the "big boy" offense had great success against the Buckeyes, particularly in the first half, and...

    My 2017 Iowa Football Prediction

    I'll take a stab at the 1 to 10 confidence system Wyoming QB questions for Iowa in a stark comparison but they loose to much so this one is a 6. ISU More of a game then last year so this one is going to be a 7 North Texas No such thing as a lock but this is as close as you can get so a...

    A second look at Christensen vs. Stanzi 2008

    My only hope is that the possible coming QB competition is similar to the last one in that the QBs in question are future NFL talent. Besides BF's inexperience coaching QBs I have to wonder if the return of KOK was sparked by something seen in one of the new crop of QBs. The problem with a...

    Earning the QB job

    I am hoping for a clear starter to emerge before the first game. This team is returning a lot of the key pieces that are required for successful season. There is a lot of change going on in the program and a QB controversy could be the factor that sinks the entire season. QB controversies during...

    Give us a funny in-stadium story

    Went to a kids day practice when my son was about 4 or 5 years old. When the practice ended my boy asked "who won?" I told him the Hawkeyes did. He yelled out "Go Hawks!" with a little fist pump. It's been a running family joke ever since. When we leave one of the open practices someone always...
