I had heard a one or two seed....how you can be #2 in the nation and NOT be #1. They seem to go back and forth between the Hawkeyes and Va Tech. Either or would be great. I just want them to go on a run and destroy teams.

Little bit off the subject of Barta, I am more curious about what the transcripts say. Is there any truth that some of the accusations were recanted? If so, I have a bigger issue with just paying out money to make this go away. I was just listening to the local sports talk show this morning...

I take a little different view of Fran. I think he is a darn good coach. Especially for Iowa. Like previously mentioned, I see very few coaches jumping at this job. Fran has taken this team a lot farther than most. I get frustrated with defense and play at times like the next. We did not shoot...

The whole team collectively vomited all over the basketball court last night. There wasn't a whole lot positive to take from it. Iowa struggled to get things going overall. But overall, the shots did not fall. We had good looks, but just couldn't get anything going. Burn the game tape and move on.

Agreed. A lot of what he does, does not show up in the stat book as far as court leadership and etc. I do think he has at least developed a bit more of an offensive game (as mentioned). I've seen several players step up from Perkins, Sandfort, to even CMac. This team could be dangerous if we...

That's a legitimate question. We are years from Reese Morgan setting the golden standard. We have now two O-line coaches from his glory days. It makes you wonder, and is a legit concern. The center we got from the transfer portal has connections for Barnett. While Iowa has a strong reputation...

100%!! I think losing him really hurt us the following year for not only his position being such a key component to the O-line, but not having a suitable back up. From there, it just fell to pieces. And yes, there were definitely a lot of contributing factors such as guys leaving early, guys not...

There definitely has been some variables that have lead to this drop in performance, but the jury is definitely still out on Barnett. So far, I have not been too impressed. Iowa traditionally builds some solid lineman on both the defensive and offensive sides, but have a good reputation for...

Man, it was an ugly game. Felt like I was watching an Iowa football game, and letting Minny hang around. Our first half shooting was hot garbage. Especially with the amount of turnovers we were getting. Allowed the Gophers to hang around. I think we appeared in control most of the game, but it...

The fellas looked motivated. Warner hopefully learned from Minnesota. He has the talent to be one of the best at his weight class. But overall, I think all the wrestlers showed much more offense and wrestled aggressively. That's what they will have to do, if they want to be in contention for...

I don't think you will see an overhaul of the offense. It will be subtle changes. That's KF. I liken KF to Bill Belichick. Similar theories on football which both were assistants together years ago in Cleveland. We all know it....field position, run first, and time of possession. It's not...

As previously mentioned, this is a move to save face and pacify the mob. But I think in a way, it allows KF to insulate himself from removing Brian if things go sideways. He won't be letting Brian go, it will be Barta. Yes, the requirements are minimal, but regardless, at least there are some...

Hopefully the whole story gets out to the media about the misrepresentation of a charity. Initially, outlets were running with the whole "Iowa is scared" story and it gave a lot of shade on Iowa. If I was Illinois, I would either put a statement denouncing this group and any association with it...

I can't but help think our offensive line will make improvements. And with some of the O-line recruits coming in, I'm hoping to see the trend return of having a dependable O-line. With the addition of McNamara, All, and Ragiani returning, I think there is some room for a little optimism.

Great post by the OP. I think KF is loosening the reigns some. I also think its about talent and personnel. KF is more comfortable with opening things up because he has capable individuals in the skill positions. We may not be Bama or a 5 star recruiting juggarnaut, but I think we are beginning...

Maybe he is taken a page out of Hayden Fry's book? Fry used to do this all the time.

I definitely would love to see them both on the field at the same time. Also having fresh legs in the 4th quarter will potentially help sustain drives which is indicative of KF's style. Hopefully this can help the frustrating 3 and outs. Maybe a little changing of the play calling under BF as well.

I don't belived I don't believe KF or BF will expect either QB to do much more than execute the game plan. I think with having offensive options such as a sustained running game and several passing options, this will hopefully alleviate pressure on a young quarterback. More than likely it will...

This is big! To keep the offense wide open and keep the defense guessing, we need to be successful on 1st down.

Awesome attitude. I truly think it will benefit Wadley in the long haul. Hopefully, we see more explosive plays from fresh legs running behind our O-line. I'm also hoping BF will open the offense up with having some options.
