Cooper DeJean off to great start in the Super Bowl. Just got a pick-6 against Mahomes!

Micheal Payne was also the first one who came to my mind. As Greg Stokes got better, Payne regressed into mediocrity. Makes you wonder what Payne's career would have been like if Stokes was never around. I would also put Roy Marble, Sr on the list. Yes he had a great Iowa career, but you...

That's actually not a bad question. Of course it sounds like Rob still needs to make a living doing something that actually makes money, and starting a new message board website sounds like it would be more like a money losing hobby. But I would be curious if Rob looked into that option.

So if this site ends up going dark, what site does everyone recommend that everybody migrate to?

Well, let's just let new immigrants do all the extra work.... oh wait.

I am not defending tariffs, because I like free trade, but I thought the idea was if you make China's products too expensensive, then America will start making the products themselves at a cheaper price.

Part of me wonders if the Fever should try the 4-guard offense that worked well for Caitlin Clark in her senior season at Iowa. It would mean finding 4 good 3-point shooters to open up the floor. Of course this may not work for the defense in a league like the WNBA, but it would be fun to...

I am disappointed in the Fever trade. Seems like to me Smith was better than Sophie Cunningham, but I guess Sophie is a 37% 3-point shooter, which might be useful. Not sure why the Fever had to swap draft picks to get her.

The Fever still have N. Smith, who started most of last year. Smith's minutes went down in the playoffs, which confused me a little. I guess the coach was looking for better defense? Not sure. Smith is still relatively young and might flourish under a new coach. Or Smith might get...

As much as we criticize Kirk Ferentz for hiring Brian as his OC, Brian was much, much more qualified to be an OC than Declan is. Of course Ben Johnson plans to call his own plays for the Bears, so Declan may continue to be more of an offensive analyst in his new role.

I guess Dillion ended up playing for the Baylor Bears football team, where he was an academic all American and 2nd team all Big 12 in his last year in 2022. No idea where Dillion went after 2022. Declan actually started out as an offensive assistant at Iowa before moving on to other jobs in...

Interesting. Who is Fran bringing in and what skills do they have?

Maybe if he gets hurt again he can apply for an 8th year at the local junior college.

So who is the hero in your story?

I might be mixed up what year you are talking about, but I believe The 1958 Iowa team went to the 1959 Rose Bowl and beat Cal. The Football writers of America ranked Iowa #1, so Iowa claims 1958 as a national championship. Although the coaches and AP polls did not have Iowa #1.

Huh, I always figured he would end up in the NFL as an OL coach.

Wow, they were so bad, they had zero catches and still managed somehow to have negative yards. I have to admit that is pretty bad. But seriously PSU's offense reminded me a lot of Iowa's old offense under BF with the Big NFL TE making all the catches, except PSU's QB could run a little

Sullivan seems to like to throw interceptions a little more than the average Iowa QB. It burned Iowa against UCLA and his pick in the bowl game killed momentum when Iowa had the lead on Mizzou. Also his constant running and taking hard tackles gets him.hurt sooner or later. Other than that...

Lester has said wetjen has had problems running routes, which has kept him out of the WR rotation. Recently the light bulb may have finally clicked on for the kid, which why we finally saw him playing some offensive plays in the bowl game. If he does not get hurt, and if sticks around at...

Interesting that Tim Polasek is now Cam Miller's head coach. Was Pollasek still on the Iowa staff when Miiller was being recruited? Also interesting that Iowa's offense seemed to take a big nose dive after Polasek and KOK both left the Iowa staff, but maybe I am getting off the subject.
