Re: Davis officially staying per Kirk I bet the defensive Cos. in the big ten will sleep better tonight. This is on Barta. Another 4-8 or 5-7 season and it will get even uglier than it is now. Hey at least we groomed a young inexperienced QB this season.

Step off the ledge fans, If the Hawks are still giving up 95 points in Feb. to teams that will not make the tourney then it is time to get worried. Fran and the team will watch the tapes and work on adjustments, playing a decent team on the road in Nov. is so much more beneficial than blowing...

I agree that the Hawks can win playing pro style power running offense but not with Davis calling the plays and not until they start recruiting some play makers (speed and talent) at the QB and receivers. Not one defense including CMU had any respect for our passing game. Hire an innovative...

The Hawks can win running a pro-style offense, but Davis had 1 highlight the entire season, the 3rd down running play that beat N. Ill. other than that it was a total disaster and Ferentz made a horrible decision in hiring him. We need a need a new cooridinator that can actually surprise people...

Greg Davis got fired at Texas and had some of the best talent in America. Horrible hire! It doesn't matter if Iowa runs Oregon's, ISU's offense, or a pro style we need to recruit some play- makers that suit this style. We can hire a a great offensive cooridinator but we better start recruiting...

If Rhodes (at ISU) thought he could win one game he would have burned the redshirt, nothing against jvb but 4-8 and we dont try a change of QB ? come on

In the preseason Fran is looking at 10-11 players right now, I would bet by Conference season he will get down to 8-9 players playing the majority of the minutes. Injuries will play a factor, but it is nice that Fran has enough talent to survive injuries plus use his depth as leverage if some of...

Jon I prefer your bracket but I would bet that there will be at least four byes. Anything more than a four day tourney will be a drag.

The Hawks are better and deeper than last year but still have a ways to go before they are a top 20 team. All of the players have been very inconsistent but are winning because Fran has recruited enough talent to beat mediocre teams. The future looks great but they still have a lot of work to do...

Whisky back in the west and either Ill. or Northwestern goes to the east.

Jon There is speculation that the Big Ten looked hard at Georgia Tech also. What is your honest guess, they stay at 14 or keep going? if they keep going? who? thanks

There is a rumor that the Big Ten is also looking very hard at Georgia Tech.

speed kills, and Mich. has done a better job of recruiting, Hawks get drilled and stay home on the holidays 36-6! lose to Central Mich and a terrible Purdue team at home and a weak Indy team on the road you get what you deserve.

Josh O just needs to break out and have a a couple of solid games to get his confidence going. Hopefully it will happen before the B10 season starts but no guarantees. Josh was a great 3 pt shooter in high school and so far in practice but unless he can relax and duplicate that shooting in the...

Fran has done a great job of upgrading the talent level. Fans have to be patient and allow that talent to develop. Eventually Woody and Olesani will become effective low post scorers but probably not this year. Our zone offense would look better if we had Jared Sullinger in the lineup but we...

Keno is a class act, he is areally good coach and will get another chance at a major school.

Next season will give you your answer, Ferentz is not going to change his conservative coaching style, he has had success with it and knows it will work with the right personal. Unfortuantely, they have done a poor job of recruiting enough talent to be successful. I hope they win at least 7...

thought he played fine except his shooting pct., missed some bunnies he usually makes, the kid stayed aggressive though and finished the game well.

It is called a zone defense that packed it in and dared the Hawkeyes to beat them from 3 pt range, fortunately our 2 freshman stepped up and shot them out of it.

People need to give Keno some credit, guy can coach his butt off! He mixed up the defenses and his young kids played their fannies off. Great noncon game for the Hawks, hope attendence improves because this team is going to be fun to watch.
