He was interviewed during the Purdue/Iowa men's basketball game. Oh boy, the internet exploded on tampering accusations. I think he said Iowa kept in touch with him and encouraged him during his struggles. I'm assuming KP was misquoted or may need to clarify. My hope he stays a couple years...

Any truth that Bama had KP almost up to 400 lbs? I would hope Iowa maybe looks at that and potentially if it also lead to some of his struggles. If I recall, wasn't he prior to this last season 330-350? Some of the knock on him was his feet were slow and that he struggled against edge pass...

Unless we flip the switch on our O-line, and we can pass protect and open holes, Cade will be a sitting duck and likely get injured again. The other issue, once you blow your ACL out, the potential to reinjure it is quite a bit higher. He has done it twice now. I love the kid. Has promoted and...

I was fine with either Philbin or Chryst, and who knows, maybe there is a wild card. At the end of the day, I think it's evident that whomever it is, they likely will align with Kirk's philosophy.

Since we are on the subject of DeJean, I also wonder if he will transition to safety in the NFL. Not saying he is not able to, but we have seen a few of our cornerbacks have to make that change. And does he get some run in potential Heisman hype if he comes back? I don't think he is the type of...

You're right. I think Hurkett can step in and got a lot of quality reps and showed he is very capable to replacing Evans. I think Graves is gonna be a beast. He just reminds me of Jared Devries for some reason. Hawkeyes have used that rotation on the defensive line for a few years now and had...

Let's hope we never have to deal with that ever again! It's wishful thinking for him to return. But I will hold out hope til he makes his decision. It's fun. But I will say DeJean is small town Iowa kid, and cut from a different cloth. He loves being a Hawkeye (as we see is evident by many...

But they hammer Noah Shannon.....funny how that works. It's all about money, and what goes in their pocket. I'm with you, what a joke.

IF Castro comes back, and Higgins and Jackson both decide to come back, we already have YaYa Black coming back. Maybe Coop decides he wants to run it back. I know it's wishful thinking. But if somehow it happened, wow! DeJean is a different breed. While going to the NFL makes all the sense in...

I am 100% with you on this!! I would be a ghost! I always joke if I had my druthers, I would build a cabin/home out in the middle of nowhere and as long as I could get internet so I could watch sports, you would not see me. LOL. Great post and this is just a microcosm of how the world works. The...

I don't think we give KF enough credit. Sure, he was pissed how the firing of BF went down. One, nobody can deny as a dad it would sting to have your child fired. I think moreover what pissed him off was how it was done. Creatures of habit. We have handed the keys to KF for 25 years. For the...

I think it's a double edge sword when you talk about the portal. On one end, it allows an athlete who may be unhappy with his playing time/role, culture, or etc. to move on and find a better fit. On the other hand, it creates an environment where there is no commitment to a school. Instant...

Isn't there an OL that entered the portal from Michigan State that had Iowa in his top 2. If i recall correctly, he was a 4 or 5 star?

As we have seen, the NIL and portal has changed recruitment and how things are done. As previously mentioned, a team can go from 3-9 to 9-3 instantly in a year. It's good and bad both. I hate how athletes can flip flop if they don't like their current situation. There is zero loyalty, but I can...

I think it was a plethora of things that made this ugly. Barta's attempt try to address Brian's poor performance with the stipulations for points per game. Which only made national news and become a focus by national media. It became an embarrassment to say the least. Memes flew and every week...

Great post. Here's the question I have with teams figuring out Iowa and their scheme. We do the same thing year after year (besides the hybrid CASH position) on defense yet we were very very solid the last couple years on defense. I think you did touched on it when you mentioned the dominating...

You are not wrong, but I would still say their talent at that position is infinitely better than anyone we have on our roster at quarterback. I would argue they have a bit better luck at obtaining the talent to execute those gameplans. But point taken.

I heard that too. Low class. Phil, I honestly think, has shown his love for not only the Hawkeye football team and its players but his respect for KF. I think some assistants are very happy and content where they are at. I think KF does his best to take care of them financially too. In this...

KF is my guy and he is heckuva coach. He will always get my respect, but I think it's very clear that what quarterback plays is directly linked to his philosophy. He prefers a game manager to a playmaker. Very few times in the 25 years I have seen an athletic or mobile quarterback besides Brad...
