Hawks spent the 1st half showing/messing with a lot of '12' sets and even a couple of plays with 10 players in the offensive box. Whether that was to get on film, or thought it was something that would surprise/work v CSU ??? 2nd half Hawks ran that set 1 time that I remember and took...

Relax & enjoy the season! Petras is the starting QB on a 10 game winning streak. If you feel the need to be an angry at our QB/coach/everything fan - Wis & Neb have room for you.....

I will vote other, because it is a 'top of the world' feeling to stand in their stadium and scream my favorite 2 words - "HAWKEYE STATE!"

2001 - Sitting Row 3 on metal bleachers in North end zone. 11 yr old daughter w/ me. She says "I thought we were playing Indiana? What team is 'Randle-El'? That's all you heard all day on the PA. Hawks win 42-28, but Antwaan Randle El was special

The biggest change in this game to last season are not personnel, it's having fans. Indiana can't prep for 3rd & 9 stuck in the north end zone. All players will be super-amped up. Petras' 1st pass will probably take 2 guys' helmets off. In the big moments, crowd gives Hawks the edge by 6.

Will teams with all these super seniors be the surprise/best teams this year? You've been there 5 or 6 yrs, you know you probably aren't going pro. You have experience, a 'this is it' team mentality.... (Kind of described ISU)

My biggest worry from the list above is - (4). Low Vax rate. All the others are football related. Experienced coaching staff. Will figure out the football stuff as best as possible. If suddenly a position group or 5 guys who play a lot are out for a 10-day period...... that's new for any...

Will be interesting now that they are around general population on campus. My over/under win total wager will be based on this info. Teams w/ lower vax rates will get hurt sometime in Sept due to player availability.

Nice writeup - have also seen many Kids practices. Totally concur with all your findings, very optimistic day for the Hawks.

Petras looked totally in command. From huddle to line checks to pass reads going to 3rd receiver twice, even some quality RPO fakes/followthrus. Goodson is going to be a beast. When he gets established, play action will be big plays. Linderbaum just a beast, Tracy, LaPorta as expected...

Winning the 2021 West - low vax rates scare me for Hawks chances. Seeing what this does already to NFL camps that just opened. Wouldn't shock me to see Hawks 1st series against Indiana with guys on the field no one was planning to see as of today.

IMO- all these extensions are long term planning. New president may have told Barta to get house lined up. Barta to retire/replaced in 6-18 months. Multiple lawsuits still in play. Extensions gives new AD some stability and chance to get settled. 2026-28 will see major coaching changes due to...

It's the scariest part of the upcoming season at this time. Really tempted to put $$'s on the Under for Iowa's win total. Will wait for a mid-August update. Would not take much for a positive case and then contact-traced houseful of teammates to have a major impact on the team

So... ISU loses Rashir Bolton and Jalen Coleman-Lands to Gonzaga and Kansas respectively?? How do 2 players from an 0-fer conference basketball team, end up on perennial Final 4 contenders?? There are still over 1,000 players in the portal.

Some quality - yes. Some experience - yes. Reasons they all want to leave? Still have close friends/relatives, AAU coach, etc. telling them the same thing they've heard since they were 12 - "you'll be a pro" .... reality not quite setting in yet. "You need to go somewhere else, coaching...

You are Big10 Defensive Player of the Year - what higher level can a Big10 defensive player 'play up to?"

Getting a little off thread, but - will be interesting to see how many who are 'going pro' or 'portal' come back and remain. The overseas pro options have changed by the week as the pandemic has altered many clubs' cash flow situations. Reading there likely will not be the money or...

#84 was massive Saturday, both physically and impact downfield. Enjoy him this season, it'll be his last as a Hawk.

David Porter should be hired by someone to be an Associate Athletic Director now, so he can become a full scale department leader in the near future.

Really dig into his games - coming off the bench before the injuries to teammates.... most of the big numbers came when game was decided or when going against tired/reserves opponents. I think the final 4 games were against more solid competition and indicator. Now with KU - we'll see how many...
