Ugly basketball. The Sanfort boys not cutting it. Peyton's 3 pt shots not falling and Pryce is completely lost on defense. Fran has some really strange line ups out there.

Drake shot and made 24 of 32 free throws to Iowa's11 made of 17. The three point percent moved up to 31% . I'm using the box score since I was unable to watch the game. There might have a little home cooking with game at Drake.

Harding's issue is too much dribbling and everyone on the team watching him. He dribbles into trouble and compounds it by stopping his dribble. Iowa has lineups that look lost on offense, which doesn't help him.

Dix is the best outside threat and nothing gets run to get him a shot. Turnovers, missed free throws, and Freeman being stupid make for an ugly game.

First time I saw them play, so many new faces. Observation tells me that this is a more athletic team.

Ranked Explanation: 1. Brian Ferentz as OC. 2. Kirk Ferentz inability to innovate on offense starting with Greg Davis. 3. Gary Barta not firing Brian three years ago.

This situation is all part of the winnowing process that is overtaking major college sports. It has been obvious, at least to me, that the broadcasters have about 24 to 32 teams in mind for a super league for football. It is pretty easy to figure out those with the potential to be part of the...

In the last two games with Sullivan at QB Iowa has scored 74 points; 40 and 34 respectively. His QBR vs NW was 73.1. He ran 8 times for 41 yards vs NW. He was 9 of 14 passing vs NW. Now, vs WI he had a QBR of 74.9. He ran 9 times for 56 yards vs WI. He was 7 of 10 passing. Turnovers have not...

I'm not enthused by either Harris or Trump 3.0. So far I have been able to eliminate letting emotions enter into making a decision on who to vote for. I'm not looking for a candidate who promises to do things for me, and I want a candidate that won't do something to me. On a personal level the...

According to AccuWeather rain is expected beginning at 6 pm and continuing most of the evening. I'm not sure what the impact will be, but turnovers usually increase. I've not watched Wisconsin too much and it didn't look much different from last years team when I did. The QB change for Iowa will...

The Iowa Football Program won it's 700th game on Saturday according to Winsipedia website. The period from the mid 60s to 1979 really affected the overall record.

You could make an argument by not naming a starting QB makes Wisconsin's preparation more difficult. At this point in the year Wisconsin has seen ground and pound, and RPO offenses. So playing both is well understood.

I worked in IT as well. It came at a time where the mainframe hardware was being replaced by client server hardware and software. To compound things along came cloud computing. Trying to learn and use new languages proficiently was more than challenging. I got sent to classes on PL SQL near the...

The NW game did not change my mind that Kirk should retire. Here's a reason I don't think he grasps. His brain is 70+ years old. It doesn't process info as fast as it once did. He may believe it does, but it takes more time to reach a decision.

Thank Dakins for pinning Northwestern around their five yard line. Sullivan had a slow start, but on the drive at the end of the half he got the offense moving. The team seem to respond to his willingness to run. To see a TD with getting the ball back under 1:40 was encouraging. After watching...

I'm in the same boat as you with not a lot of time left. I'm turning 77 this month. It easy to fall into pessimism after a loss, but this loss to MSU is different. Different in a lot of ways. I'm old enough to remember when the entire Big Ten was not competitive with other conferences. The Big...

The 2024 MSU game will become a reference point that marked the point where Iowa football began a rapid decline. Iowa was out-coached and out-talented at many positions. Last night was a reminder of what Hayden's last years were. It goes back even further than that. It was also a reminder of...

The CFP has evaporated for the Iowa Hawkeyes. MSU has more talent on offense than Iowa.

This is on McNamara and the coaches. It's so obvious Lester needs Sullivan to be at QB and Iowa needs to pass more.

On an annual basis, if you take the preseason AP Poll and compare it to the final AP poll, 9 of the top 25 teams in the preseason poll will not be present in the final AP top 25 poll. Some years it might be 8 or 10, but on average 9. Iowa was in the 2024 preseason poll and Illinois wasn't as one...
