    Four-Star In-State Standout T.J. Bollers Getting Down to Nitty Gritty

    @RobHowe I May be reading your articles wrong, but I’m not feeling like either have interest in Iowa after reading your work.

    Thank You

    Thank you Jon..... You don’t know me, but I’ve been your friend for almost 20 years. I will miss you. If you ever need a place to crash in The Chicago area, HMU.

    Holiday Bowl tickets

    Just on a quick check on stub hub, $60 for a seat, $80 for a pretty good mid level end zone seat, $150 for front and center at the 50 yard line. Looks like there is plenty of availability.

    I Can't Imagine the Emotion of the Iowa team before the Holiday Bowl

    Heck, most of the players weren’t alive when Hayden coached his last game for Iowa. From a game standpoint, it’s probably a great distraction because there is going to be just a lot of Hawkeye pride this week and a bunch of old people sharing Fry stories and why the Hawkeyes are a special team...

    Can we alter holiday bowl uniforms

    I kind of want to go all black, with just numbers

    Please Watch This

    All of that for $40k a year. The University probably made close to a billion off of Fry.

    Can we alter holiday bowl uniforms

    Something like taking off the helmet logos or just go with a really large ANF? We are going to be a fan base in some serious mourning.

    Hayden Fry

    I really don’t remember Hawkeye football before Hayden beat Nebraska. But he’s the reason I’ve been watching ever since. In heaven there is no beer. Godspeed Hayden.

    Holiday Bowl prediction thread

    USC hasn’t been so good in non-conference games 2019: Fresno st. W 31-23, BYU L 27-30 (ot), Notre Dame L 27-30 2018: UNLV w 43-21, Texas L 14-37, Notre Dame L 17-24 2017: Western Michigan W 49-31, Texas W 27-24 (2ot), Notre Dame L 14-49, Ohio St. L 7-24 USC does not use all of its bowl...

    Pass defense

    I’d also point out that the Minnesota passing yards came at the expense of the clock. I read on on of the USC message boards that several fans thought the easiest way to shut down the Trojan offense was to rush 3 and play a bunch of cloud. Since Iowa’s base defense is virtually that to start...

    Another QB?

    Franks is very undisciplined and he’s kind of average in performance. I like the QBs we have over Franks

    Let the nebraska meltdown continue.

    They have a lot of people thinking they are a 4 win team in 2020 on their board. Of course they have loons that think they are going to be a top 25 defense next year.

    Let the nebraska meltdown continue.

    2020 Nebraska’s last 5 weeks @ Ohio St. Penn St. @ Iowa @ Wisconsin Minnesota tricky non-cons against Cincinnati and South Dakota St. I doubt they are bowling next year too.

    Miller: Time to Say Goodbye

    I moved to Des Moines about 3 months before Jon Miller started being a guest on Steve Deace’s radio show. There aren’t many pundits I’ve listened to for 20 years, but Jon has been one of them. In the classic broadcaster mode, Jon felt like a friend that I never met. Best wishes on the next...

    Iowa vs Alabama in the Citrus

    I think several programs would have a twinkle in their eye to draw Alabama this year. Take your pick of 7-5 teams you’d count as their best win : Texas A&M, Tennessee or Southern Miss. I could see a number of players skipping their bowl game including Tua. Sabin is going to really be...

    Come to terms with my Nebraska hate...

    You know the funny part of the article was when the author was saying how Nebraska was beating Iowa when they joined the B1G and Wisconsin was their rival. But Wisconsin wasn’t even in their division then.

    Ferentz coaching tree?

    But what your post is also saying is that Phil and Norm Parker are bad hires because they didn’t get head coaching jobs. I also don’t remember being impressed at all with the mid 90s Hayden staff. I can understand having frustrations with the current offense, but that’s a real different issue...

    Ferentz coaching tree?

    Isn’t this only a discussion because of Hayden Fry? I’ve never heard any other coach talked about his staff and certainly not 20 years after retirement.

    Eric Crouch Is An Idiot

    He probably thinks Nebraska is playing Colorado on Friday.

    Iowa's Path to a NY6 Game

    We’d win that tiebreaker based on the third tie breaker division record.
