    Freeman named starter

    I’m not going to single out individual players, but this is what I see: 1. A very, very young team with very little athleticism when compared to the rest of the Big Ten. A middling Michigan team destroyed them. Fran simply is not recruiting enough quick , big ten ready athletes. 2. No real...

    Blimps: Are They Still a Thing?

    It was on the ground, taking off. Much bigger than I anticipated. I can only imagine how massive the Hindenburg was.... It didn't end well for the Hindenburg, obviously. There was a war movie in the 1970s called "Zeppelin," I believe. I think Michael York was in it. Check it out sometime.

    Lil Debbie Natty Champions 2024...

    Well, we have beaten them 9 of the last 11 years. The last 9 years, they have been one of the very worst teams in the Big Ten, with zero winning seasons? It takes more than a quarterback to start winning again. I just watched an SEC TV special on the life of Bart Starr, NFL Hall of Famer. He...

    Candidates for the OC position

    Is it possible that Budmayr will be the OC? That would explain a lot.

    TN players opting out

    They already know who the offensive coordinator is....so calm down. I'm guessing the recruits know as well. There are no hollow victories in bowl games. You either win or you lose with the players you have going into the game. Iowa had a great season.

    TN players opting out

    Jaylen Wright is a 1000 yard rusher. He definitely opted out. That’s a big loss for them.

    Blimps: Are They Still a Thing?

    Yes. Saw one up close. They are massive

    Candidates for the OC position

    Absolutely true. We DO beat Ohio and Mich about 20 percent of the time starting with Evy era in 1952, so it does happen

    Hannah

    She has to be there in a dominant way for Iowa to make a run in the tourney.

    Candidates for the OC position

    Iowa is 10-40-1 against Ohio St since 1952 and 13-34-3 against Michigan.

    Joe Labas

    They do need to seriously look at McNamara and figure out why these injuries keep happening to his legs. I may be laughed at for the following comment, but is it the type of shoes the Iowa players wear? When Cooper DeJean goes down with a non-contact injury, something doesn't add up. Foot stuck...

    Joe Labas

    He won't bring that type of O coordinator into the program. It will be McNamara and then Hill or Lainez #2. That is my prediction. He won't bring a QB in from the portal.

    All-American Team

    I think Higgins will have a nice career in the NFL. Great, great player. He is smaller than Campbell, but perhaps he is quicker??

    Hannah

    She has to play 30 minutes a game. The other 2 bigs are not threats.

    All-American Team

    Higgins was first team All American as voted by USA Today.

    Win-Lost %

    Fran is rebuilding now. There are some good, young pieces. Let's see how the players develop in Big Ten play. No need to panic. I think an NIT bid is a worthy goal for this year's team.

    QBs hitting the transfer portal

    That is a very interesting point. As Bo Schembechler said, it you are going to win in the North Atlantic, you have to train in the North Atlantic. It might also explain why Iowa is so good in November. Kirk prepares and builds his team and his style of play to win in November.

    So excited for him. One of the truly great coaches ever at Iowa.
