    Iowa missed an opportunity Saturday

    That was nice. I didn't know that they had done that which I agree was very nice.

    Iowa missed an opportunity Saturday

    tough to argue with that.

    Iowa missed an opportunity Saturday

    Sure - I'll buy that. But I guess my thought was that everything about the theme of the day was about how Street was bigger than one player, that he represented everything good about the state of Iowa. Given that, I wanted to see it. Just my $.02 but given everything that was said about...

    NCAA Denies Iowa's Request to Honor Chris Street

    I actually agree with the first paragraph completely. But this isn't complaining about them not doing it, it's about having an idea that is totally harmless and being totally pussified to do anything about it.

    NCAA Denies Iowa's Request to Honor Chris Street

    If you are a Division 1 Athletic Director, you know what the NCAA is, and you know what matters and what doesn't. I blame the Iowa AD, not the NCAA. I seriously doubt this went up to Mark Emmert, someone at Iowa just said, uh oh, we better see if this is allowed and an intern probably said...

    Iowa missed an opportunity Saturday

    I'm gonna get lambasted for saying this, but I was stunned - STUNNED that Iowa did not publicly give the game ball to the Street family. Would it have been contrived and a bit too Hollywood? Maybe, but as a fan and alum that is what I wanted to see, and talking to people in town on Saturday...

    NCAA Denies Iowa's Request to Honor Chris Street

    I think this is a perfect example of Iowa asking for permission instead of forgiveness. And for that reason I blame Iowa in this fiasco. Just do it. What is the NCAA going to do, pull schollies, put you on post season probation? No, at worst, they would call and kick and scream about how...

    I like the trucker hat quite a bit... I might just go down that road (pun intended) Although to be honest, - (you probably don't want unsolicited opinions on this but I'm gonna give it anyway) I'm not crazy about that logo or the typeface.

    Multiple Coaches Leaving the Program

    Well your limited in the number of assistants you can have so there's that. As to your larger point above about KF being media tone deaf - it isn't just KF - it is Barta too. We have by far the most inept sports marketing and sports information departments I've ever witnessed. Both are stuck...

    Multiple Coaches Leaving the Program

    I wouldn't put it past KF to say that his coaches have had opportunities in vague ways. And if a coach gets an opportunity to become a coordinator at a Div 1AA school, is that being upwardly mobile? Or if you are KOK and you get an opportunity to be the head coach at a DII school, is that...

    Multiple Coaches Leaving the Program

    I am fairly certain that KF has surrounded himself with people who generally don't have the talent to move on intentionally. I think he values continuity (NFL trait) and believes that he can overcome position coaches shortcomings himself, and that he would prefer that to a revolving door...

    Multiple Coaches Leaving the Program

    Why is it tough? These guys are highly compensated, basically anonymous to 90% of the fanbase and need to perform just like any other employee at any other job. If their boss isn't satisfied, he has the right to put the team he wants in place. As for Davis - I thought he called some good...

    Multiple Coaches Leaving the Program

    Well let's see.... Erb has overseen a position that has now become national legend for its injuries and attrition. Eric Johnson has already been demoted once (from TE coach to Recruiting coordinator) Darrell Wilson was gone as soon as Phil Parker was promoted.

    Hawks Snap Skid, Beat Northwestern

    Iowa needs to score, and they did as much today. I would really like to figure out a way to have the following lineup in as much as possible: Marble Gassell White McCabe Bassabe It's tough on matchups on the defensive end of the floot, but it also puts 5 people on the floot you actually...
