I don't totally disagree with you about KOK, but since KF will probably promote from within who would you like to see from the current staff as our new OC?

Our defense bent plenty but forgot not to break.

Haven't been able to really enjoy a single game this season because of the D.

So why would a conference made up of these teams be an auto BCS conference? From a basketball standpoint it would be a pretty stout league, but I'm not sure I see it on the football side.

Don't be surprised to see the Big East make a huge play for ND football (which would basically be a deal with devil a la the Big 12 and Texas) and then extend invitations to KU, KSU, and Mizzou. It wouldn't be a perfect deal, but it would insure their survival. It's not like the Big East is...

Well, I think it's safe to say that Alford wanted to leave (seeing as how a raise at Iowa probably wasn't forthcoming). If he had been successful here I think that just maybe we might have been able to pay more than NM. I'm not sure who this "Kurt" you're referring to is. Could you amplify...

If Fran does manage to make the program consistently good again I think the university has shown that it's willing to pay top dollar to successful coaches to keep them in Iowa City. Unless he just doesn't particularly like living in IC he may have no reason to move on.

If history has shown us anything it's that O'l Roy is a pretty consistent closer when it comes to getting recruits. It sucks, but don't be surprised to see Adam Woodbury wearing blue next year.

average. I knew that there would be a talent drop-off, but I guess I didn't expect this much of one. I hope our guys can get it together as the season goes on.

Can someone explain to me how ISU athletics dropping to a non BCS conference means the end of the university? For example, there are bigger schools than ISU in CUSA and they seem to be doing fine as academic institutions. Also, I'm pretty sure teams from CUSA, the MAC, etc.., still go to bowl...

If I'm the Big East the only school I'd be interested in is KU. The Big East is already arguably the best basketball league. Adding Kansas would be like putting the cherry on top.

My picks and thoughts exactly.

Be careful what you post about Chuck Hartlieb here. I'd suggest nothing even remotely negative, as people in high places at this site don't go in for that sort of thing. I guess it's commendable that Mr. Hartlieb isn't exerting any pressure as to where young Mr. Darboh attends college. It seems...

You should head over to the Illinois board and ask this question, seeing as how that's where the evaluation of Bell came from.

It sucks, but I think he ends up elsewhere. (I'm hoping that I'm wrong, but these things rarely seem to work out for us)

I believe that Fran can and will find someone who will contribute at a high level for the Hawks. Adam Woodbury is not a make or break player, although it would be nice to get a highly regarded kid from in-state to go to Iowa. That's why I think he should direct his recruiting energies elsewhere...

Good point Cydkar.

I know no one is going to agree with me on this, but Fran may want to consider starting to look elsewhere for a big man. Now I'm by no means saying Fran should pull Woodbury's offer or anything along those lines because there's no reason to. I don't blame Woodbury for being interested in top...

Unfortunately, the higher his ranking climbs the likelihood he attends Iowa probably goes down.
