    Riley McCarron and the fair catch

    I find it amusing that now the anti KF group has determined that its KF requiring a fair catch. Maybe, just maybe, the player knows when to fair catch and when not to...or he may have made a mistake or two. Or, maybe the SPECIAL TEAMS COACH had something to do with the way Iowa handles punts...

    I'm sold. CJ Beathard should start the rest of the season.

    This post will likely bore you to death...Maybe KF is right. We have two QB's who can be trusted, maybe for different reasons, to be successful. So, I think I will let KF decide. He and I speak weekly and I always tell him that its his decision and he accepts that responsibility. I think I...

    Rank the Big Ten

    This probably makes the most sense at this early point in the season.

    I watched KMM's catch live, through binocs. I swore up and down that the TD would be overturned, since he did not get his foot down on the catch. Then, I watched it through binocs on the big board and continued to swear the TD would not be allowed. Thank goodness, I am not a replay official!

    How many games can we win this year and still fire GD?

    Phil Parker has shown that he, as the defensive coordinator, has the right to adjust the way Iowa's defense plays football. He took the best of Norm and made some nice improvements. If Greg Davis can do the same, he will, and should, stay around. If not, he should and will, be gone. If you...

    Lowdermilk = Class

    Too many guys on this thread that think running up the score makes their OWN pee pee's grow bigger. Congrats! Here is a headline: It is none of your business. Lowdermilk told you ALL in his interview that he did it out of respect for a coach that offered him a full scholarship...that is, for...

    I didn't mind the play calling.

    I counted the number of Purdue defenders "in the box" on at least 35% of our plays (I was in Ross-Aide) and the numbers ranged from 8-9, with even one 10. And, their first steps were toward the LOS. I just cannot see the logic of continuing to run the inside and more especially, the outside...

    AJ Derby

    OK. I am lost. How did a thread about AJ Derby's TD catch turn into a hate fest about KF? Oh, yeah. The usual suspects.

    How many will be at Ross Ade?

    I shall be at the Purdue game. Figured out that the time it will take for travel there is about the same as my travel time to Iowa City. I have been to Lafayette 2 or 3 times over the years. The stadium is ok, but nothing special and yes, the crowds are really small. Plenty of good sports...

    Question For Ferentz Haters

    Boy. Our linemen must have been a long ways down field last year when he ran into them, since he gained just short of 1,000 yards. Ever seen a football game, "sparky"?

    Hoping For Better Bowl Than This Projection

    The BTN has us in San Francisco in the #6 slot from the BT, with OSU, MSU, Neb, WI, PSU (who should not be eligible) ahead of us. For right now, that sounds about right. But, we will get better.

    Geez...take a look at the pocket on JR's toss to Vandenberg. He could have eaten a sandwich and drank a beer.

    Jon's 2014 comparison to 2001 Banks/McCann

    This is a disturbingly prejudiced statement and should either be retracted or at least, explained.k Thank you.

    Either QB could thrive vs poor teams

    Apparently, like most fans, you have a short memory. What is JR's overall w/L record at Iowa? How did he do last year? And, just so you don't over react to my comments, I think CJ played a great game at Pitt on Sat. and deserves serious consideration to start against Purdue.

    I have no clue and firmly believe that I should have no clue.

    Who Knows ?

    Great thread, guys! (NO sarcasm) This was an actual discussion with varied opinions and some good attempts to give examples to make your point. I would say that the biggest issue may be that Jake, and probably CJ if he got more time, have had the fear of god put in them about making an error...

    Miller: Have We Been Too Hard on Greg Davis?

    Hoffa makes a lot of sense here. I would add that Iowa has not been able to attract a lot of skill position 4 stars over the years. So, it made sense that we used the kind of system that, essentially, the pro's use. Everything is about playing the percentages. That is where KF came from and...

    X and O question

    Now, this is a great thread. (NO sarcasm) I especially appreciated drew's comments. It has been a long time ago, but I played football in high school and for a short time in college and then coached in a 2000 kid high school in Iowa for a number of years, so I love the X and O stuff and have...

    Who Knows ?

    This is a great question. The message boards in general have reached the conclusion that Jake does not have a strong arm, especially compared to his backup. I would very much like to see some evidence of that...or, is it just another message board myth? Now, we have seen some bad throws on...

    Legitimate question here.

    I am still waiting for those who want Barta and Mason gone to supply some reasoning behind their assertions. You make the statement again with no explanation...why?
