    We are where ...

    Wisconsin is going to blitz Hill over and over again. Get the ball to the tight end and the backs out of the backfield to neutralize the blitz. Pass the ball on running downs and run the ball on passing downs. Give up this idea that we can throw to our receivers. It isn't going to happen...

    Caleb Brown MIA

    They should change the punt rule where if a ball hits a player on the punt receiving team accidentally while he is blocking or engaged or has his back to the ball, and is then recovered by the punting team, the punting team gets possession. Such a dumb rule.

    Can Iowa Keep Walking This Tightrope?

    It does really make you wonder how good Iowa could have been with just an average offense. Or does the moribund offense fit perfectly with the Parker defensive philosophies? Bend but don't break? It's way beyond my limited knowledge.

    Next few years of conference schedules released

    Iowa has had exactly ONE outright Big Ten title since 1958 (that's 65 years) so I hardly think that is a measurable for anything. Starting in 2015, Iowa HAS achieved the following: 1. 75-31 Record (71% winning percentage) 2. 2 West Titles (seven team division) and several runner-up finishes 3...

    Cade injury is for the course for us Iowa fans.

    Cade is a great leader and has had a great career. He has his whole life ahead of him. I just hope he makes good choices knowing he may live another 60 or 70 years. Big Ten football is pretty tough on a healthy body. He hasn’t been 100 percent healthy for a long time.

    Can Either Ferentz Survive This?

    It’s only one loss. Let’s see what happens this Saturday. This team needs to loosen up and play better

    Possible Candidates

    Kirk will end as coach at Iowa when he decides to retire, and not before. He is a hall of fame coach and will continue coaching for several more years. But I’m now convinced his son must go. It just isn’t working. Also find a new O Line coach. Maybe a new strength coach? We are soft as Velveeta...

    The Good The Bad The Ugly

    They have won 2 Division Championships in 2015 and 2021. The 8-0 record in 2015 would have been a Big Ten Title under the old format before divisional play. Just saying.

    Hear me out, we have enough data to look at here

    You will learn a lot when they play Penn State. Hope we are 100% healthy for that one.

    Absolutely ecstatic with the offense

    OK he is trolling by saying he's not trolling. But if he's not trolling, I hope he is right. Hilarious.

    So do we win that game Saturday if McNamara doesn't play?

    McNamara doesn’t have CJ’s O Line, that’s for sure

    So do we win that game Saturday if McNamara doesn't play?

    McNamara is the best QB at Iowa since CJ Beathard

    So do we win that game Saturday if McNamara doesn't play?

    We will learn a lot more this Saturday. Iowa State is very, very good on defense. We have a chance if Cade plays. If not, we lose

    Kirk's last season?

    Disagree with this take. Division titles mean a lot. Bowl wins and Top 25 rankings mean something too, not to mention his CFP ranked teams. Iowa will return to the playoffs. Being in the Big 18 will upgrade their recruiting.

    Kirk's last season?

    Ferentz is not gonna retire. No way in hell. He's having too much fun

    5 Hawkeyes Poised for '23 BreakOut

    There is a lot of talent on this Iowa team. I really hope Shannon plays most of the season

    Cal and Stanford talking to ACC

    Staubach went to Navy, not Notre Dame.

    Cal and Stanford talking to ACC

    Roger Staubach originated the phrase "Hail Mary" in 1975 after a playoff game against the Vikings. He threw a desperation pass to Drew Pearson during the game. After the game, he was asked about the desperation heave. He said "I said a Hail Mary and threw the ball."

    The Big Ten is Dead

    Agree with this. Iowa's goals each year will be as follows: 1. Make the playoff. 2. If you can't make the playoff, qualify for a bowl game? If they still have bowl games? 3. Winning season (not as easy as it used to be). The Big Ten is not dead. Iowa clearly is in one of the two strongest...
