    CFB Playoffs

    Which is insane if the two have the same record and played head-to-head!

    Bowl Projections

    Hey, if the choice was Ole Miss in the ReliaQuest bowl or Mizzou in the Music City bowl, our chances are MUCH better vs Mizzou. The chances may not be great, but Ole Miss would put a 45 pt beatdown on Iowa's secondary, without a doubt.

    Iowa-Tennessee Takeaways

    The UI could make a lot of money by making a single video of all the different types of turnovers which were made during yesterday's game and market it with the title: "Don't Do This! Turnovers to Avoid." 28 turnovers -- and the variety was impressive. The Hawks are going to have to find a 3 pt...

    CFB Playoffs

    There are some nice matchups in the first round, for sure. Ohio St./Tenn will be lots of fun to watch, and Indiana/Notre Dame was a cute wink by the committee. I would suggest Oregon got screwed pretty badly, tho. Their reward for being a unanimous #1 seed? Very likely a rematch vs Ohio St...

    The Ice Cold Hawks, Freeman Out with 2 fouls Game Thread

    Something the announcers didn't bother noticing, but pretty amazing: from the 11 min mark until the 3 min mark of the 2nd half, I think every Michigan basket was a layup or 2-ft putback. (Not counting FTs.) I'll have to watch the tape, but it was simply incredible -- Iowa couldn't keep a...

    Recap, Reaction: Iowa Wins 2 Duals

    Appreciate the write up. Looks like the Hawks are still searching at 125 and 141.

    KF says he's coming back

    Rutger's SOS was probably increased by playing Virginia Tech in the non-con, but here are the two teams' comparable BTen schedules. You tell me which schedule you'd prefer to play: INDIANA: Ohio St., Michigan, Washington, Maryland, UCLA, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Northwestern, Purdue. RUTGERS...

    KF says he's coming back

    If you're looking for a P4 schedule as soft as Indiana's, look at Rutgers' this season.

    KF says he's coming back

    Well, yes. Of course they did go on the road and beat by 30 pts two teams which Iowa lost to in the same location.

    KF says he's coming back

    With an 18-team conference, going forward team records for all but the top 3 programs in the BTen (Ohio St. Oregon, Penn St.) are going to be increasingly determined by who they play each year, i.e. scheduling. Iowa is the perfect example: this year Iowa was practically guaranteed 8 wins because...

    KF says he's coming back

    "...7-9 wins per year." Have you looked at the 2025 schedule? If the Hawks get to 7 wins next year it will be a minor miracle, given the losses from this year's team. We get 5 BTen home games, but they include Oregon, Penn St., and Indiana. Our easiest BTen games may be on the road at...

    Iowa vs Northwestern Game Thread

    What this team needs is: * to make their FTs. 58% for a close BTen game isn't going to get it done 90% of the time. * for Freeman to stop getting the ball 15 ft from the basket. It's a turnover waiting to happen when he starts dribbling toward the basket. The PGs are not getting him the...

    Iowa is going to have a lot of opportunity coming into conference play

    The challenge is that only 3 of those 11 Quad 1 games are at home.

    About Nebraska 2024

    I would tend to agree. NE's offense is much more varied and tougher to defend than Iowa's. They've got a couple backs who run with determination, and now are starting to feature a scat-back in a way that the Hawks could take a BIG lesson from....where art thou, #21 Wetjen in Iowa's offense...

    Iowa vs USC

    Good to see Dix beginning to look like his old self again. Getting his stroke back. With him firing on all cylinders, the Hawks are a tough out. Without him, they are a very average BTen team. He needed this game to keep building his endurance, after being out a couple games. Peyton needs...

    bowl projections + tie ins

    My totally ignorant guess would be that Colby, Jones, and Richman will play. Olinemen are a different breed.

    Drew Stevens B1G ST POW

    That was a big-time performance on the road. Already he's one of the all-time best kickers at Iowa -- and that's sayin' something! Now just need him to put the nail in the Husker coffin Friday night.

    Classy young women vs a bunch of cougars

    Re your last sentence: Caitlin was the leader of last year's team and set the tone. He tone was one of expecting perfection, from herself and everyone else. Nothing necessarily wrong with that -- all the great ones seem to have that personality, including Michael Jordan. But when things...

    Recap, Reaction: Cy-Hawk Dual

    Hawks still searching for answers at 125 and 141. And unfortunately, no answers in sight. Kueter is nowhere near to reaching the podium, either. And everyone has to admit, Paco just got lucky. (I still haven't heard what the 'mystery' penalty point was for, in addition to the locked hands.)...

    Other weekend games

    How many games have the Cyclones won in the last minute this season? I can think of 3. Maybe more? Echoes of the Hawks last season when they went 6-1 in one-score games.
