    Over/Under On…

    I think college football is so messed up now that a school's success is going to depend primarily on how much NIL money that have to spend each year. You don't recruit players as much anymore; you simply buy them. I'm guessing Belichick is going to attract a lot of donations to their NIL fund...

    How Do You Know When Your Team Has a True Rival?

    When the other team's captains are so stressed out, amped up and full of hate that they don't even shake hands with your captains before the coin flip. At that point you know it's a true rivalry game. Remember several years ago when the Nebraska people started a narrative that basically...

    How Did the Old Big West Teams Fare This Year in the 18 Team Big Ten?

    I thought it would be somewhat interesting to see how the Big West teams did this year against each other, and then against the rest of the conference. First, their records when playing each other: Iowa 4-0 ILL 3-1 Gophers 2-1 Huskers 2-2...

    For The husker Fans…

    This is the finest post you have ever made on this board. And then to use the prayer deal as an excuse to not show basic sportsmanship during the coin toss is just breathtaking in its arrogance. I think it fueled Iowa to hang in there and defeat a good Nebraska team while using a 5th string...

    For The husker Fans…

    9-1 against these idiots the last 10 games. End of discussion.

    Sully out for the season

    This is an important point. Nebraska is a huge game for Iowa. I think that the truth of the matter now is that the bowls outside of the playoff have lost a lot. It would be a a great way to end this season if we played Nebraska as our final game. Send the seniors off in the correct way and...

    Sully out for the season

    Maybe Cade will relax and play a little better. He has a chance to finish the season off well. There have been many years when Iowa had no injuries at QB whatsoever. This wasn't the year.....wow.

    How is Iowa doing in the mythical West Division this year?

    Last year Iowa went 5-1 head to head against the other West Division teams. How is Iowa doing this year? Here are the current records (head-to-head only) Iowa 3 0 (remaining games: Nebraska) ILL 2 1 (Northwestern remains) Wis 2 1 (Neb and MN remain) MN 1 1...

    2024 Season Predictions

    Still chance to go 8-4. Will play in a bowl game. This is a good team and they have been great at times. I'm enjoying the season. 2 of the 4 losses came down to the very end of the game. Nebraska would love to be us the last 10 years.

    O-Line Moore Award Semifinalist

    Iowa is averaging over 200 rushing yards per game against many of the best defenses in the country. If you don't believe me, study the Massey ratings: Ohio State is rated #1 in defense in the country; Iowa State 13th; Minnesota 19th; Wisconsin 20th; Washington 23rd; Nebraska 24th; UCLA 33rd...

    So Would Iowa be better off in Big 12?

    Iowa has been in the Big Ten for well over 100 years. They should stay in the BigTen

    It's over for the clowns. Iowa will play in a better bowl than Iowa State will.

    Pasadena

    Sorry guys. I've been there once. It's a dump. No interest in going back again. Plus, the turf is a mess. Did you see the clods of dirt coming up as the players cut? Definite advantage for the home team.

    Bowl Talk

    With the victory over the hated Badgers, Iowa at 6 wins is bowl-eligible and becomes a desirable bowl candidate for the non-playoff bowls. I also think 4 Big Ten teams are going to make the playoff. If Iowa wins 2 of its next 3 (very possible), they will be 5th in the bowl pecking order. The...

    About UCLA

    Yes. You nailed it. Jackie Robinson was an All-American football player at UCLA. A real stud player.

    Iowa QB Situation Remains Mystery

    If Sullivan doesn’t start against UCLA after that performance against a good Wisconsin team, Ferentz should be committed.

    Long shot playoff odds

    Iowa State is getting a massive break by playing in the super weak Big 12. Iowa is going to be the best team they will play all year. An automatic bid should not be awarded to the weak Big 12, but it is what it is.

    Long shot playoff odds

    Great post. I really like Iowa's team as well. I'm just afraid that the fluke one-point loss to Iowa State is gonna bite us on the playoff front. If we had WON that game, this is a whole different conversation. Who knew? I think all Iowa can do is try to play as well as they can each week for...

    Iowa State still

    This is a really good Iowa team. Let’s just enjoy the ride. We beat a really talented team yesterday.

    Kirk leans on defense again

    Play not to lose and you can lose. That is what they did.
