    Iowa: 5.5 point favorite

    The Illini are starting Lunt at QB....so they will throw it around...he has a strong arm. I do not like Iowa cover. Two weeks off for the Illini, and Lunt back, with a need to win 2 of 3 to save their coach's job.....Iowa will be lucky to get out of there with a one point win. If KF goes with...

    Time to Start a Mobile QB Who Can Use His Legs

    How can you say that with a straight face after Saturday's performance? Jake has thrown like 20 interceptions in his starts the last 1.7 years. that is safe? He had the most in the league last year. As Gamefilm pointed out, after the interception early in the 2nd qtr, Jake did not throw...

    The Read Option

    The Illini will start Wes Lunt at Qb this Saturday, as he returns from a broken leg. When he is in, no zone read. Now, they will probably mix in either O'Toole or Bailey after seeing how badly iowa defends the zone read....Bailey can really run and could damage us. I doubt that Wis. will do...

    Tackle Cobb Today

    Also, Minny won the PU game by returning a kickoff late....they are good on special teams...if Hawks win special teams, they will win.

    TMZ alleges Winston point shaving vs. LVL

    Point shaving is a felony, punishable by 5 years in prison...so it is not easy to forgive.

    BTN destroyed B1G football???

    Actually, according to recent stats on where NFL players come from....Penn is not in the top 7. NJ is #6 ahead of La. and Penn. Maryland/DC is also in the top ten...which is why they are great additions to the Big Ten.

    Possible trouble in Huskerland???

    Miami seems to have survived the Shapiro scandal....this smells similar. Sugar daddies, or mamas, exist at many programs....hard to keep up. This is the kind of deal that the NCAA enforcement should be pursuing, not leveling unprecedented sanctions against PSU without an investigation.

    Becoming Weisman

    Weisman is like a fine wine....the longer the season goes along, the more you appreciate him. He needs to stay healthy for this last push...and if he does, he will be the all time Hawk TD man, and the Hawks win the West...

    How quickly we forget

    With your logic, we should ignore that we are 6-2, and act as though we are actually 0-8? Iowa is in the thick of the Big Ten West race, so I am not going to sit here and obsess about losses that occurred months ago. I know it is tough for the anti-KF crowd, but Iowa is still alive to...

    TMZ alleges Winston point shaving vs. LVL

    Winston and FSU have a pattern of playing poorly in the first halves of games this year...trailing in most of their games. Now, that could bolster their case that the Louisville game was just typical for them, or it could actually be a pattern that suggests more shaving. It is almost...

    BTN destroyed B1G football???

    This article is over a year old, and not accurate. He states that PSU was the last Big Ten team to be in the hunt for the national title in 2008 when Iowa knocked them off. The very next year, and undefeated Iowa team was #3 in the polls in November, and only an injury to their star QB vs NW...

    Is B1G referees fair in games in B1G??

    Mike Sanzere is a bad bad ref....one of a number, but he is among the worst.

    Penn State sanctions

    Emmert and the NCAA played to the public and bluffed PSU into submission. Emmert should be fired. The NCAA overstepped their mandate, and clearly know they were wrong, because they have left other culprits alone after the PSU sanctions...like Mizzou who protected a star rb who was a serial...

    Iowa-Minny prediction thread

    Cold and wind will limit both teams. Passing will be difficult. Iowa 13 Minny 10. And I love how some point out how Kill beat Iowa in 2011....he was not their coach in 2010. KF and Iowa kicked Kills butt the last two seasons, but guess that does not count. Kill is 1-2 vs Iowa...not exactly...

    How quickly we forget

    Nobody is seriously saying Iowa has a shot at the playoffs....why does it offend so much? As for this game being closer than it should be...Iowa is like a 1.5 pt favorite at this point...so is a 21-20 win unacceptable? I take issue with fans who think Iowa should roll into Minny and swamp...

    Iowa-Minnesota Game Notes

    What does anger me is how the two also-rans, Michigan vs NW , get their game in the 2:30 slot on ESPN rather than two 6-2 teams in the hunt in the West....ridiculous.

    How quickly we forget

    So, just so I understand clearly.....Iowa fans should continue to be negative because of the earlier games? Is that the best way to enjoy Iowa football? To minimize the wins, and focus on the losses last month or two months ago? That is your prerogative....but I prefer to enjoy the win over...

    Outsey Takes Next Step

    This is why I like having Rutgers in the league. I know that everybody recruits there, but Iowa has good ties there, and now that we can tell recruits we will play in their home state once in their time at Iowa, it should keep our pipeline open....same with DC/Md. So, Outsey is a 6'3'' 220...

    13-0 Iowa not in the playoffs?

    I thought Auburn last season started the season unranked? They had like 2 wins the year before and were not expected to be very good. If Ole Miss and Miss. St can get by Prysbeterian and Tenn-Martin, this weekend, they are in good shape to make the playoffs.....again, these two schools have...

    Minneapolis weather on Saturday

    The Vikings did put some heating coils under the field ,right? I remember that Iowa game in 2010 where the field was frozen like a rock...and also the time the Bears played the Vikings there after the Dome roof collapsed...it was a rock that nite also, and Wooten ended Farve's career on that...
