    Early Odds

    Read somewhere on line at 21.5 with an over under of 35 I think we will need some breaks to cover the spread and I'm afraid Michigan is likely to score more than 35 They are really better at every position especially with all the key injuries. We just don't have any playmakers left and Hill...

    Do we have any difference makers left?

    McNamara probably wasn't, but lost to very good tight ends and now DeJean Who is going to make a big play for us QB no, RB pretty average, Wide receivers Up till now really pretty bad, On defense we have some very good players but DeJean was the guy who could turn it around. Maybe Castro...

    Over Under Next Week

    Well maybe the over under won't be record setting next week. Illinois had 662 Total yards and 507 yards passing against Indiana. And gave up 451 Total yards. One would think the over under would be greater than 30? But then again this is Iowa and who knows

    Fran quietly putting together a nice 24 class

    You are right 247 has us a respectable 35. It was Rivals that had us at 70 Still Fran has never been able to get those top 50 players. He has had some that should have been top 50 but they were not rated that high when being recruited Bottom line is that March is when it counts for most...

    Fran quietly putting together a nice 24 class

    I checked 247 and they have us ranked 70 8 spots below Northwestern? Fran can coach some exciting offense Just hasn't been able to recruit at Iowa (other than legacy players) and just doesn't know how to coach defense

    Just watched the 60 minute Iowa Northwestern game Thoughts

    My God how does an offense get this bad? 1. BF and KF offensive schemes have to be the top reason. I remember wen Joe Tiller went to Purdue and with his offense and the same players changed Purdue in one year Offensive schemes 2. Talent Offensive line and wide receiver are not good, but I...

    Weeks without watching Iowa Football

    Bye this week and no way am I going to watch Northwestern on Peacock. Probably will listen to Dolph and Eddie. More entertaining than watching as you never know whats happening!

    How does this Nightmare End?

    One loss and the dogs are out and letting loose with the UGLY truth. I saw a "soundoff" on Des Moines channel 13 that really pounded how bad we are and how bad our QB is Many other media sources with like stories We are going to lose more games regardless of who plays QB but D Hill cannot be...

    The Conundrum that is Iowa Football

    6-1 In first place with a good chance to win the West probably rated with the worst offense in the nation and the worst QB since Bobby Cummings in the 70s. 27-70 311 yards with a 38% completion and 2 TDs with 2 Ints. Rating of 79 Great defense that makes big plays and the best overall kicking...

    Some thoughts on Yesterday

    Really enjoyed the day as it was a festive crowd and decent weather. But as many fans sitting near me were heard to say "Iowa is painful to watch" Iowa is 5-1 and won't be ranked and doesn't deserve to be ranked Hill is not a good QB! No touch and accuracy is a big problem. Not the answer but...

    Preview, Prediction: Iowa-Purdue

    Well the "experts" say Purdue has advantage on Offense and we have it on Defense, Kicking and Special teams. No surprises there so what are the keys? Iowa defense has to be more aggressive. We have been good but not dominant. Still cant believe we have 0 sacks against power 5 teams. Has to...

    Give Brian Ferentz some Credit

    No not as an offensive coordinator. A job that cannot be his next year. But after reading yet another article about how the crowd on Saturday night was loud and supportive when Iowa was on defense and chanting Fire Brian when on offense (on national TV) you have to give Brian some credit for...

    How Bad is Iowa?

    Northwestern up on Penn State near halftime 10-3. OK maybe Penn State has a letdown but still???? Iowa has one of the worst offenses in the country and the worst offensive line I have seen at Iowa since FXL days. Defense has been good but not dominate and has not made many big plays...

    Can Either Ferentz Survive This?

    WOW What an avalanche of scathing articles on Iowa football and both Kirk and Brian Ferentz. His post game after Penn State with his "keep pushing forward" explanation of what needs to be done just isn't convincing anyone that there is an answer. Always liked the guy and has done some very good...

    Some National Statistics For Kirk to Consider

    Iowa 129 out of 130 in total offense 2 yards ahead of Eastern Michigan and really against one very good team and 3 less than mediocre McNamara 116 out of 124 in passing efficiency 119 out of 124 in completions per game and 120 in completion % Crazy bad offensive line ain't helping but he...
