    Prescott Az game watch locations

    Don't live there (yet) but I spend lots of time there. Prescott is spread out so it depends on whether convenience is a factor. There is a place off of Willow Creek out by the car dealarships. It's called The Final Score. Arizona doesn't partake in daylight savings time (one of the reason I...

    You can thank me later

    I traveled Monday down to central Missouri to view the eclipse. Seizing on the opportunity I carried my 2017 game day tee shirt w/ me. I also wore my 2009 game day shirt. Astrophysics being what they are I wanted to use the Solar Lunar Terran conduit to transfer the 2009 shirt's mojo to this...

    CJ's debut

    Let's be honest - walking in the wrong neighborhood can get you killed no matter your race. In fact statistics would seem to indicate you are about 4 times more likely to get killed in that neighborhood if you are black.

    No off position on the genius switch

    It all depends on Stanley and how he overcomes mistakes. This team really is starting to remind me of the 2009 squad in certain facets. Stanley will make mistakes early on. I only hope that he has a demeanor reminiscent of Stanzi. Both Vandenberg and, to a lesser extent, Rudock seemed to let...

    Beathard to Kittle TD!

    NFL Preseason

    CJ looked pretty good and it is strange to see Kittle blocking for Carlos Hyde. Unfortunately for the Niners keeping possession of the ball seems foreign. 4 turnovers in the 1st half.

    No off position on the genius switch

    I'm Kool-Aid infused so I agree w/ a lot of your updates. My comments to your changes. The heir apparent to, more than likely, Stanley. Stanley will struggle early but will finish strong as will the team. Even w/o JB I think the Hawks were strong @ RB. Young will see the field more than most...

    Howe: Game By Game Predictions for Hawkeye Football '17

    You don't know what you don't know. Famous words and, although we know more now then at the time of Miller's 2017 prediction, we still don't know a lot about this team so I am going w/ my gut (way to large btw.. to much kool-aid). Wyoming - not so much. Hawks will raise hopes in the tribe w/ a...

    Any observations from Kids Day?

    It's typical Ferentz era O-line development. The staff will tinker w/ the makeup of the line until it's solid. Combine this seasonal constant with the inexperience at QB and there may be some losses early on that are unexpected. I believe the defense will be a force that will keep Iowa in...

    Can you be an upper level team without a QB?

    After the kids day practice I am a little more bullish on the receivers than going in. In retrospect (posted vids - thanks!) Stanley may be more ahead of the rest than I thought initially as I was busy attending to my 2 year old grand daughter (kids day, remember?). Iowa will have to earn upper...

    Any observations from Kids Day?

    Welsh is a monster - the O-line looks bigger- Render and Reynolds had good days inside so we may have some depth @ guard. KOK has his job cut out for him - Stanley is marginally ahead. Quarrells has soft hands and looks the part but wasn't in pads. Smith-Marsette impressed me - good routes...

    Looks Like Matt Quarells is Here

    That's correct. I believe that his coach was quoted as saying 8 passes per game was about right. Divide that among ~4 players and you would get 2 targets per game. Looking at the numbers in that light and his stats seem reasonable. And I read somewhere that he ran the 200 for them as well...

    Kids Day Roll Call

    I I'll be bringing my grand daughter (2 yrs ) to her first Hawkeye event. She loves Herky (and so do I ;) She seems very interested in player development for a toddler. Be bringing my son as well (21) who was born in the shadow of Kinnick. Amazingly enough he is interested in player development...

    Can you be an upper level team without a QB?

    I recognize that quote - it's from "That's Football" by Kirk Ferentz.

    Howe: Ken O'Keefe has Developed Skin Tougher than Leather

    The ironic thing is that two of the three starting QBs that GD coached @ Iowa are now in the NFL. KOK's total was one out of seven if my counting is correct. Never had a problem w/ KOK's plays, just with the lack of in game adjustments based on what was happening on the field. BF has shown a...

    Meet Peyton Mansell

    Impressive. Funny thing was I was really impressed by how well coached his team was. The down field blocking was spectacular at times (1:30 in video) and where is number 7 today? I noticed in the "practice observations" thread pictures he was running the read option w/ Butler. Butler will only...

    What big stories do you expect from camp?

    I hope to hear that our 1s are really 2s and our 2s are really 3s or maybe 4s.

    Visiting Utes Fan

    Hey Red! Thanks for encouragement. Got to say I wouldn't mind seeing the Utes shake up the Pac12 while we are at it. Of course if these two teams really tear it up then I can say "hope to see you in Pasadena!"
