    Looks like the Cedar Rapids Titans have picked a couple of former Hawks for this coming season. Press Release

    Weisman and KMM watch

    Stats can often be a bit deceiving and may not tell the whole story as one could have an amazing back who endures a poor or injury riddled offensive line which would obviously impact their individual rushing totals but just for fun, here is how some of the Iowa backs stack up to a few the most...

    Weisman and KMM watch

    What's criminal is how some just cannot appreciate different styles of running. I have nothing but respect for Weisman and wish him the best as he has done nothing but epitomize "the Hawkeye way" while keeping serving as a role model for kids and teammates alike. Was John Riggins or Jerome...

    10 carries for Weisman

    Run the ball with the wind at your back and attempt to pass with a QA that does not have the strongest arm when you go into the wind...confounding.

    HN Tailgate this Saturday

    I'll try to head down a bit earlier than planned to find you before heading over to shoot game pics.

    Defensive Second Half

    Interior line penetration forced Connor to the outside where the secondary and linebackers could get a much better tackling angle.

    The biggest difference between the first and second half offensively...

    1) Beathard sells the play - action better and is more of a threat to run which freezes the backers. 2) They rolled the pocket and also took deeper drops to allow more time for something deep to open up. 3) They let Weisman primarily run straight ahead and it was 1 cut off the fullback's...

    What if Powell catches JR's pass?

    I won't argue that both were catchable balls to Powell but the main difference I see is a bit more air under CJ's deep throws which allows guys to run under while Jake ' s tend to be a lower trajectory.

    I like KF's 7-4 record in last 11 against ISU

    Losing 2 of the last 3 which just happened to both occur AT KINNICK

    Is rudock vandenberg 2.0?

    A thought crossed my mind today as I keep hearing about practice and how CJ struggles. Look at the defense these two are practicing against. Iowa ' s D historically has been picked apart by efficient dink and dunk QBs while fairing pretty well overall against Robinson, Pryor, etc who loved...

    Does it ever NOT go in?

    Have you forgotten the infamous UNI game a couple years back? Of course if they don't block 2 in a row, I concede he most likely makes the kick but today is not due to "karma" but squarely on "kirk". Clock mgmt was terrible once again capped off by one that should never happen. If you intend...

    Iowa state rock bottom? and kinnick crowd

    I believe ISU may be in for a long season but they were up 14-0 before losing a handful of key starters and showed they are not a deep squad. If the Hawks had lost King or LTP or Davis I shudder to think what the final score would been so let's not judge too quickly and anger the injury Gods.

    IOWA-Northern Iowa official game thread

    Any word on Willies? Is he still dinged or just not able to get separation? Running back by committee happening as advertised. ..does that mean we also see a Beathard sighting in the second half?

    HI TV: PTL SEMIS HAWK HIGHLIGHTS, PART I

    Nice to see Gabe not only extending his shooting range a bit but getting more comfortable using his off-hand a bit more around the bucket. I'm in the "man just think if he had red-shirted his first year" camp but happy to have him even if it is going to be his last year.

    Excitement all around for new Hawkeye teammates White and Dickerson

    I just don't get this statement. We have a junior guard returning who led the big ten in assist-to-turnover ratio and was 12th nationally (despite numerous missed bunnies and some cold long range shooting at times from teammates). Mike is a gym rat who has done nothing but give 100% without...

    Woodbury, Jok, McCabe

    IA bench outscored TN 35-4 but aside from Woody the remaining starters all had off-nights once again. Sadly I think Woody could have scored 20+ if only some of the guys could simply figure out how to get him the ball in scoring position.

    Is White the most overrated Hawk ever??

    White should have been starting at the 4 with Basabe bringing energy off the bench as he did last year. Uthoff and Jok should have been getting the bulk of the minutes at the 3 from day one. What I just can't understand is how any division I program much less the "corn-fed" state of Iowa...

    Disappointing Season

    With 1 game to go I doubt even the folks in Vegas had odds on Nebraska being 4th in the standings with the "potential Final Four" Hawkeyes a disappointing 5th.

    Bluntly put

    One problem with depth is the increased tendency for coaches to immediately pull players after they've made a mistake and guys are not allowed to "play through it". I fear over the course of this season that person some of the players are now either playing scared. Of course the flip side is...

    Horseshoes and Hand Grenades....

    So many close games yet again this year had me thinking just how close this team is to an unbelievably good season and why I still believe this team could really make some noise yet this year if the law of averages catches up like it did tonight for the Gophers (like them or not you just knew...
