    The general fan base doesn’t demand it.

    Yes, those Purdue players come off the bench this year, but....... who is in at the end of the game? Yup, those players who came off the bench. As I told all the players I ever coached: It's not important who starts the game, it's important who FINISHES the game.

    The general fan base doesn’t demand it.

    From last year, we lost three starters including the NCAA National Player of the Year, an NBA drafted guard/forward. We lost the third starter to the transfer portal (under shady circumstances). We lost a top bench player and projected starter to the transfer portal. We kept the two starters...

    Is anyone going to go watch this team in a bowl game

    I'll be watching on TV. Still recuperating from a toe amputation.

    Mandatory deconstruction of the loss

    I guess I look at it this way: We have one very good lineman, Linderbaum. He's a junior and he's likely gone after the bowl game to play on Sundays. Looking at the two deeps, his backup, Fagan, is also a junior but an inexperienced player. At guard, Schott is a senior; an undersized senior at...

    Welcome to the B1G Filip

    I suppose his working out in the summer with Nikola Jokic didn't help him at all (mentioned by TV announcers as they are both from Serbia). After all, Jokic is only 6'11" and 285, and is at least as skilled as either of the two guys you mentioned.

    Husker banter.

    Well, yes and no. Nebraska owned the LOS early. They were running at us. But as the game went on, their run game got less and less effective; and our run game got more and more effective - remember that Goodson had a 55 of his 156 yards on our last scoring drive with around 6 minutes left in the...

    Can we hang with michigan???

    What could happen is what happened in 2017 vs tOSU. tOSU were favored by 17.5. As the kid in Angels in the Outfield said... It could happen.

    Four day blackout

    It seems to me that the heading of the site is not working. I get all the elements of the menus (Home, News, Opinion, Podcasts, Videos, Forums and Search) on a white background with black button outlines in a vertical arrangement. However, they SHOULD be contained within the header of the site...

    Heads rolling today....

    One only needs to look at ISU (I know, I know...) to see what our fortunes could be. ISU is in a P5 conference and is in a state with very few FBS recruits, just like Iowa. It's not particularly easy to recruit to Iowa or ISU for a number of reasons, thus the reason neither team tends to get...

    If things continue to slide

    How many here think Brian is running HIS offense or a combination of his offense and Kirk's offense? Before you give me your knee-jerk answer, think about how many times Davis had a QB under center at Texas or how many stretch plays Texas ran under Davis. Then compare that to the offense Davis...

    Padilla needs to start next game!

    “The second team quarterback is always the most popular guy on the team” was said by quarterback Archie Manning in 1982. Still rings true today.

    Padilla needs to start next game!

    So you're going to the practices and observing that he has "never gotten #1 reps in practice"? I'm not saying he has or he hasn't, but you're stating he hasn't with no evidence. I'm just saying that any in-season talent evaluation is something we have no visibility. And making any assumptions...

    This offense

    In 2020, we had Coy Cronk (UDFA for the Packers), Alaric Jackson (on the Rams roster), Cole Banwart (on the Giants practice squad) and Mark Kallenberger (who left football completely). That group had a lot of experience. Anyone with more than two brain cells to rub together should have expected...

    Trying to hide QB caught up to us

    I didn't say I believe in Petras. I'm saying he doesn't get the time for anyone to do an unbiased review. But you go ahead and write him off.

    Trying to hide QB caught up to us

    Apparently you believe that the inaccuracy is not due to the OLine struggling. I point to the times where he DOES get the time and he is very good at hitting the receiver. And I also point to what appears to be an anemic running game that is directly affected by the OLine struggling (and the...

    Trying to hide QB caught up to us

    Dude, Tom Brady would suck with this offensive line. When a QB gets time, they usually perform quite well. If you watch any game, when Petras has the time he can drop dimes. The problem is he is not getting necessary time about 75% of the time

    David Bell vs Iowa

    We replace a 3 year starter with a situational backup (mostly dime packages) against a team that has historically carved up our pass defense, especially one player that Moss likely would have had primary responsibility for defending. I firmly believe their passing yards would have been somewhere...
