Eda- Please tell me which question is out of bounds and unreasonable. Are these not things most fans are interested it? Nothing in these questions is accusatory or suggest the person asking them could do the job better. But please continue to belittle people and stifle them from wanting...

Let me start by saying I expect the same vanilla presser this week and as much as I'd like to see the media ask more than softball questions I know it's not reality. However if I were in the room I would feel these are the questions I would ask; 1. During the last 2 minutes of the first...

I did. The saddest part is my life is so pathetic I automatically thought of you. Apparently I have nothing better in my life to think about.

Anyone one know when the Iowa-Michigan game time will be announced? Any chance it will be a night game?

Spot on. You can do everything else you want, but this is the crux of the issue.

The serious answer is yes they do when the unit is showing improvement. Yes the offense laid an egg this Saturday, but this group is strides beyond where they were last year. Assuming they bring it up another notch next year fans should be happy with where this team is. If this unit regresses...

My doubts on the amount of benefit the extra practices may have has nothing to do with me wanting to see them in a bowl game. I want to see them in a bowl game even if it is the Humanitarian Bowl. I just don't think the extra practices afforded to bowl eligible teams translate into giant steps...

Please elaborate on what losses Iowa would have otherwise been able to win this year because Rudock and Beathard were able to watch JVB practice 15 more times?

Sorry, I think the "extra practices" are overrated too. I'm sure they help to some degree, but let's take last year as an example; Assume we went to a bowl. The 15 extra practices wouldn't have helped Rudock or Beathard in the least. It's insincere for this coaching staff to say the...

Agreed... We end up in Detroit.

Wow... You lost me at Wiseman.

Couldn't disagree more. The offense had field possession on Wisconsin's side of the field their first 4 possessions and could only put up 3 points. "Fluke" INT's had very little to do with Iowa's loss yesterday.

Sounds simple, but the problem is teams can stack the box and stop the run because we can't make them pay for it with the passing game. By taking away the run game it's harder to sell the play action, thereby taking away 65% of our offense. Until teams have to respect our mid to deep range...

Don't sugar coat it, JC. What are you trying to tell us?

Wish I could make to this week's game. I'd be sitting next to you in the cell. Normally I'd use my one phone call to speak with OK4Prez. Apparently that wouldn't be a wise choice in this circumstance as he would likely petition to be the prosecuting attorney.

I think this is a huge key. Our d-line does not have to focus as much on contain and can go after the QB a little more aggressively. This helps our pass rush be more effective and in turn allows us to adjust easier to stop the run. Iowa - 17 Wisc - 13

I agree. If Iowa wins that game I'm not sure Iowa City would have had a building left standing by the end of the night. Folks were pumped-up.

As to whether or not we should be storming the filed against Wisconsin I think it depends. If it was a sound defeat, then be classy and go back to your tailgating party. If it was a big come from behind last second win (ala 2009 MSU game) then I think storming the field is perfectly acceptable.

A little touchy before our morning coffee? Perhaps he was trying to decide what shoes would be best for storming the field. It's kind of hard to do with 3 inch heels. ssckelley - I'd plan for the storming of the field so go with the flat pumps (The black and gold colored ones of course).

It seems like the loss in the 2010 game against Wisconsin was a turning point for the Iowa team. I'd like to see us get our MoJo back by beating them in a solid well executed game.
