Iowa football is starting to resemble Iowa basketball under Todd Lickliter. It's one thing to lose, it's another thing to not even be prepared to compete.

I get the impression that coach Ferentz doesn't mind tweaking the uniform, when it's his idea. Usually the message behind it is solid, it the execution that's weak.

Well played. Kudos.

Luckily Florida State is in the ACC, so you can watch him play without any moral dilemma.

The answer to Kirk Fetentz's buyout; Kickstarter! Somebody using Kickstarter raised over $50,000 to make potato salad (obviously a joke on their end, but people actual kicked in for it) I think there may be a few disgruntled Hawk fans willing to pony up at this point. A few more may join in...

Just curious, do any of you who've responded to my posts advocating the acceptance of losing think I'm being serious? I thought I was being sufficiently silly that there wouldn't be any doubt that I was joking. Sorry if this wasn't the case. To clarify (and borrowing from Moneyball), I hate...

Well, with the way they've been conducting business I'm not entirely sure that winning is the ultimate goal for this staff. Enforcing your will (right or wrong) and playing not to lose seem to be the most important goals. If the Hawks win as well, it's just the icing on the cake. Listen, when...

Generally apathy means you don't care at all. I'm just suggesting that people not care as much. Expecting things just makes people sad. There's plenty of room in the middle and back of the pack, so why strive to get to the front?

Hey, just because position competition works at other schools doesn't mean that it would at Iowa. What if somebody lost their starting spot? You wouldn't want any of these young men to feel bad about losing their jobs would you? Really, when you stop and think about it, I think that it's in the...

Hey, don't you know that we're just Iowa. There's no reason to think we should expect more from our football program. Don't you all remember we were really bad once? I think that if everybody who feels like the program needs a change would just learn to accept mediocrity they'd be much happier...

I remember the days when I actually enjoyed Hawkeye football. Good times.

I wish we were just "not good". The way the Hawks look so far "terrible" may have to be what we aspire to.

Mediocrity, thy name is Iowa football.

I honestly believe the only school we may not be able to keep Fran from leaving for (if offered of course) is Notre Dame.

Expecting Schiano or Mike Munchak to be the next coach at PSU. Unfortunately they'll probably be fine.

I sure hope not. We've always had major problems with QBs like Manziel, and none of them were as good as him.

Gabe might prefer "The Dustman" to "The Trashman". He is English after all.

That might help. We could also try recruiting some Big Ten caliber skill position players. That might help our offense too.

Spread over how many years?

I think he probably did cheat, he just picked a bad time to be conspicuous about it. Lester cheating isn't the (main) reason the Cards lost anyway. They took care of that all by themselves with three errors and generally lousy play.
