    Chris Doyle - Your Team Just Got Physically Dominated - What are you going to do?

    This is just great. We get out manned physically in one game and our strength and conditioning program is suddenly, inexplicably, in the toilet. The guys who followed up on this genius inspired conclusion with logical answers, like, for example, we are struggling at the RB position, are to be...

    Is KF Showing CJ the door?

    You did a great job of avoiding the real issue that I brought up. Of course I know what the powers of a head coach are. I worked for 5 head coaches over a period of 13 years. What I am saying is that a head coach would NOT over ride the views of his offensive staff if they were clearly...

    Post-game Press Conference with Ferentz

    I trust that since you are so firm that we need Iowa to move into the 21st C. in football, you can clearly explain what that means? The team that just beat the crap out of us runs almost exactly the same offense Iowa runs, and does nothing really different than Iowa does on defense. But, I...

    Is KF Showing CJ the door?

    OK. First, I don't know if CJ is a better QB than JR; my guess is, neither do you. Now, lets look at this scenario: If it is in fact true that CJ is much better, I am sure the offensive coaching staff would be knowledgeable enough to figure that one out. So, they sit down with KF and tell...

    Is B1G referees fair in games in B1G??

    All due respect, I think Jack N. is right on the money. I have been a season ticket holder for Iowa BB for a long time, and the deference that is afforded to Bo Ryan, Izzo, and frankly, to some other coaches of "power" teams gets to be more obvious than you would believe. Just MHO.

    Pat Harty - Hawkeyes' big hurdle always has been recruiting

    I did not know that. Thank you for bringing it to our attention. I am still very impressed with Coach Snyder and greatly admire the Hayden Fry coaching tree, but your point is well taken. I follow Iowa football and basketball recruiting on a "pay for" web site and have really enjoyed it. I...

    2 Hawkeyes Earn Academic All-District Honors

    This is the kind of publicity that I love to see! I hope the recruits pay as much attention as I do.

    Minneapolis weather on Saturday

    Great post! When I went to the Iowa/Maryland game, I (innocently) took my regular binoculars, which I take to all Iowa games, and they checked them very carefully. Being naive, I asked them why and they said they had experienced many cases where people tried to sneak in flasks disguised as...

    Random thoughts: CJB & Weisman / Wadley are this week's key to V

    News flash: Jake is a better QB than CJB right now. (I really like CJB, just to be clear.)

    Penn State sanctions

    Some sanctions should be re-instated every time PSU shows they just don't get it. The death penalty would have been too good for them.

    13-0 Iowa not in the playoffs?

    In the current top 25, there are 10 teams with 2 losses, with one team even having 3 losses. Iowa has 2 losses. Interesting. (No, I am not suggesting we should be there, but...)

    Minneapolis weather on Saturday

    I love the way we obsess with game conditions and everything else Iowa football! Even a picture of TCF with the wind direction pictured! I am NOT being sarcastic. I am right there with you! Did not know the stadium was an east/west. I love it. (I will be there and I hope the wind is behind...

    Anyone re-watch the game?

    I watched the game yesterday and really enjoyed it, of course. What stood out to me, and I usually would not say this, was the commentary by Chuck Long on Jake Ruddock's play. It was detailed, fair and balanced, and consistent throughout the game. Great stuff! I wish Chuck was coaching Jake.

    Game Plan for Minnesota

    Make MN throw the ball. Likely man cover with some blitzes, even against the run game. Fly to the ball the way the Hawks did against NW. Tackle. Run with play action for the Hawk offense. Be Iowa. This will be a slobber knocker, so we have to man up for 4 quarters. Hawks win.

    Back in August, what were your expectations for this point in the season?

    I figured Iowa, at this point, would be 7-1. I guessed they would lose a game just because we always do: The dumb loss to a very mediocre Maryland team, or maybe Pitt instead, as the most likely stumble. I NEVER thought we would lose the ISU game, never. As it turns out, there is little...

    The Fans' Answer

    Your opinion is your opinion, and I respect your right to state it on this anonymous internet message board. No insult intended there, just stating a fact. First, you are not qualified to determine if Gary Barta should be fired. Just a fact. You don't know how to evaluate an athletic...

    80% Win Rate for KF

    OK. I am a stats guy by nature. I am not saying I am good at it, but I am certainly fascinated by football and basketball statistics. That said, I just read an article in the CR Gazette and was absolutely stunned when the writer said that when Iowa runs the ball 35 times (or more, I guess) in...
