Given the current landscape of college football I am okay with Iowa playing 3 bottom feeder MAC schools in the non-conference. I fully acknowledge, that I am not a season ticket holder or go to games. If the Iowa/ISU game went away, it would not break my heart, but too many people on both...

Fair. When it comes to Kirk and offense I have PTSD and @hawkdrummer1 post was a trigger.:) It feels like Kirk is going to FINALLY be hands off on this. Kirk ran the Mike Shanahan system until it was beyond outdated. Now, that they are doing the Kyle Shanahan modern version of the offense...

The quarterback play has been atrocious the last 5 years, other than Petras’ run late in the 2020 season to the beginning of the 2021 season. KOK hands aren’t totally clean because he rubber stamped a lot of quarterbacks, that were brought in that 3 or 4 year stretch before he retired, that...

We all have seen it. Linebackers and safeties coming down hill, and crashing running lanes, even before Iowa can run a play. It has been that way for the last 20 years or so.

My biggest complaint against Kirk is that he is reactive, instead of being proactive. Granted, he was never forced into a position where he had to be proactive. Kirk deserves credit for changing, I would my make the argument that in his 26 year run at Iowa, you wish that he could have been a...

I thought he would have been an excellent fit for a good Missouri Valley team. Drake? I wonder what the appeal was for a bottom feeder school(athletic wise), if the military is not in your future.

“Slow cancellation of the future.” You can google it to get a better definition. It primarily applies to music, but you can apply it across pop culture. It is basically the theory of a “better tomorrow” slowly being replaced by a recycled past. It is a little deeper than that, but it is the...

IIRC, Jeff Tarpinian was hurt and James Morris had to start/play as a Freshman.

Are we sure Iowa St. will never get into the Big 10? Clemson and Florida St. win their lawsuits and all hell breaks loose. The SEC absorbs the ACC, minus Duke and North Carolina, and the Big 10 takes on the Big12, including Oregon St. and Washington St. If that scenario happens, ISU gets...

Soooo, your 300 million in crypto is going to make this work.:)

I dunno, fellas. A shoe and clothing line can make up a HUGE difference. As corny as “Logo 3” sounds, you could easily make that it into something. And I am pulling shit out of my ass on a message board. Think about it, if really smart people dug into this. I really do think she has a...

I looked at this in the morning without my glasses, and I saw BYU instead of BVU and I immediately went WTF. Getting old suuucks, more importantly it is a good thing I didn’t overreact.:)

Deep down inside I knew the answer to my own question. Homerism/denial was the only reason why I asked the question. My argument for the longest time is that Iowa and ISU could be successful at the same time because they were in different conferences. We all know where this trending. Could...

When Cytown was announced I rolled my eyes and thought it was a pipe dream. I was wrong, it is not only happening, but it feels like it is going to be very successful. And they are doing this on the “cheap” for about 250 million. As for Iowa, they are not moving away from Carver. BG is on...

Random thoughts: I finally got a subscription to ’The Athletic’. Jaime Pollard came off to me as this whiny, nasal voice guy. What I have come to realize, is that he good at his job. More importantly, timing was perfect, he was the ideal cheerleader/administrator needed for Iowa St. when he...

The way I understood it, Jon and Rob tried to put their financial resources together to buy and “reclaim” the site. The current owners wanted waaay more than what it is worth, so it was a no go.

Three years ago, we all thought Deontae Craig was going to be that “twitchy” DE. He ended the year with 7 or 8 sacks, and we all thought we had a dude. Obviously, that didn’t come to fruition. Llewellyn was a monster the last 3 or 4 games of the year. Now they need that monster to translate...

Not surprised. She is the most popular basketball player on the planet under the age of 30. Long way to go, but Dochterman is correct, she could end up being the first female billion dollar athlete.

I will be up front…I did not read the link @BigD posted yet. Luka Doncic was this phenom, prodigy type basketball player, who was playing pro ball at 16, 17 years old. So are we saying these dudes have an option to play in college a year or two? Nikola Jokic is the best player on the planet...

Yep. Rutgers is a great example. Dylan Harper and Ace Bailey are projected to be the 2nd and 3rd pick in the NBA draft, and Rutgers was dogshit this year. Kentucky under Calpari is another example. You could have a roster just with ex-Kentucky guys under Calpari, and they would immediately...
