There are few head coaches on the planet that don't at least occasionally overrules a play here and there. They are managing the overall flow of the game and sometimes they need a run play to milk the clock when a pass play was called. I am sure KF has overruled Parker from time to time as...

Iowa St. would not agree to anything less than a continued home and home, and I don't think Iowa has the political will to cram that down the Clown's throat. The governor and the legislature would get involved. And, respectfully, the idea of moving this game out of the state of Iowa is just...

Fry, we expect a full download on how your son did at State. I still remember my last State Meet. Special experience. Good luck!!!!

In addition to the dearth of development and productivity at the QB position the last five years, we have to acknowledge that the OL play has also been bad. Barnett had a pretty empty cupboard when he took over the role and he had to play some young guys before they were ready. Also, its hard...

KF is never leaving. Just reinventing himself. He just called up Warren Buffet and called him a quitter. #KFLiterally4Life

Huck, the problem with the purpose of this thread is that it requires us to have hope and optimism about Iowa's offense. That's like asking a Husker fan to believe that Nebbie will actually win a close game. Too much PTSD. Its much easier to discuss what we are all comfortable with: BF...

Remember when there were knuckleheads on this Board two years ago claiming KF would hire a dullard at OC so that the offense would continue to stink and BF would somehow be vindicated as not the problem. That was ludicrous then and it even more crazy now that we see how quickly Lester is...

Huck, you new to this Board? Threads tend to meander, and sometimes a lot worse than this. That's what makes this place fun. Given the OP article centers around rebuilding the offense, discussing the shitty foundation upon which that rebuild was premised seems fairly on point. Discussing the...

KOK was also pushing 70 and on his second stint with Iowa. I always read the situation as KF throwing his best friend a bone to draw a salary for a couple more years while at the same time helping KF's dopey kid try and learn the job. I think KOK faded away on his own terms. I would be...

All true. Stanley is an underrated QB in the KF era. Yes, he was not spectacular, but he could throw a decent ball and his QB sneaks with Lindy were as good as the Eagles. He helped make Brian look better and KOK's veteran presence helped I am sure. Heck, the offense was down right explosive...

I am not sure praising KF for being stubborn for two years with his dopey, underqualified kid running this offense, only to have his hand forced by his boss, and then finally hiring a competent OC is all that laudable. To be clear, elevating Brian to OC was justifiable at the time. He had put...

You must not have seen Mathew Broderick in the movie War Games. That kid got in and out of NORAD pretty easily. Then he averted a global thermal nuclear war by playing tic tac toe with a super computer that would be an app on a phone these days.

Yes. I am sure. :) Clemson and FSU have already won their lawsuits for all intents and purposes. They will be joining the SEC soon enough and then they will be our size. I truly question how much bigger these conferences want to get. But, let's say we go to 24 each to start the super...

Exactly. The other thing to keep in mind is how long does this strong romance between CC and Hawkeye, Fever, and a lot of new, female fans last? Does the spike in viewership for WNBA games sustain? What happens if the Fever don't make it far in the playoffs for several years? Is there a...

Look, ISU is a nice, quaint little success story of a little engine that could. Pollard decided to make himself a big fish in a small pond and he has become just that in Ames. I hope UNI and Drake follow this blue print and grow their brand as well. But, let's not make this more than it is...

I will give Storm Lake some props. They invested in a lakeside water park, both indoor and outdoor, and a hotel and convention center. Its called Kings Pointe. We have done a couple family weekends there. Its a poor man's version of Great Wolf Lodge. Beyond that, Storm Lake doesn't have...

I get pissy when people mix up Storm Lake with Spirit Lake. Biiiiiiig Difference. I suspect this will be a short stint for Jeff. Build it up, create a winner, move to a real college town. Congrats.

Given BJ's standing in the NBA and experience, surprised he has not gotten a full GM job. Hopefully that is coming for him. Great to see him paired up with Murray. Go Hawks.

I think it is going to be very hard for her to hit that mark being in a sport where the sport itself pays you almost no money. Compare Lebron to CC. Yes, both make huge dollars in endorsements, but Lebron also pulls down 50 million a year from the NBA and has been making tens of million a year...

As I thought, basically Lebron is the only basketball player on the planet that even compares to CC's draw. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/wnba/2025/05/06/caitlin-clark-indiana-fever-espn-tv-ratings-preseason/83478304007/
