    Wetjen killing it

    And I would have had no problem if he had a lane and got his ankle clipped on the 25. I have no problem with a player taking a chance for a really big play and just missing it. But, it was very clear with 3 seconds left on the clock that he was hemmed in and not going to escape. Go out of...

    Indiana head coach Curt Cignetti previews Iowa football, taunts Illinois after blowout

    A little harsh. They went 10-3 last season and returned a lot of starters, including an experienced QB. Yes, they had some cupcakes last year, but 10 wins is 10 wins. Its still the Big 10. I agree that they were overrated going into the Indiana game, but there was not a pundit or a better or...

    Wisconsin Fans Booing Team Down 20 at Half

    They really didn't. Not last year anyway. He brought a lot of guys with him from JM, blended with some holdovers, and then brought in some overlooked talent from the portal. He then coached them up and took advantage of an incredibly soft schedule. Last year's success was not the product of...

    Hawkeyes vs Indiana Week 5 Depth Chart

    At least from this depth chart, it doesn't seem like the guys who were dinged up like Patterson and Anderson, are too serious. Pretty much at full strength.

    Wetjen killing it

    Its neither insane nor stupid. Its situational awareness. Before he took the field, the special teams coach should have specifically told him, that if you get past our 40, and unless you are sure that you can score, get down before the clock expires. It was a tie game. A FG is huge there...

    Gronowske's stats surprisingly consistent for last two games

    While I usually hate this sort of D, this may be a game that we need to slow things down. Keep the safeties two deep high, back off of press coverage, and give them the short stuff. Make them march the length and execute on 12 plays to score. Keep everything in front of you and make hard...

    Wetjen killing it

    Agreed on the ISU game. He really hurt us a couple times in a game that was a nailbiters. Returners are sort of like three point shooters. They have to have short term memories and have to take chances. No one goes All-American fair catching the ball. He was explosive against Rutgers. No...

    Wetjen killing it

    At the risk of being a turd in the punchbowl, he ran straight and no one touched him on the kickoff. He absolutely screwed up by not going down at the end of the half. He wasn't going to score. You gotta know the situation and give your team a chance to take the lead and collect momentum at...

    What will Iowa be ranked...

    Objectively, it would be bullshit if we were not ranked. Our only loss was a field goal game on the road against a Top 12 opponent. If we knock off a Top 12 opponent, that is a ranked resume. But hey, Notre Dame gets ranked when they are 1-2 with their only win against Purdue. Eye roll.

    Iose...BOOM!!!

    We are stacked with upper classman DE, and so I am guessing that it is just a numbers game. By most accounts, he mirrors his older brother in many respects, including readiness coming out of high school. He was spoken of highly during camp. I find it hard to believe that Parker cannot find...

    Wisconsin Fans Booing Team Down 20 at Half

    Scott Frost was a homerun hire and look how that turned out. It just goes to show you that success at one school doesn't guarantee success at another school. Every situation is different, and fit and a bit of luck are needed to make it work. Iowa and KF are about the best fit imaginable...

    They were booing Riola's inability to release the ball. And they should.

    Gronowske's stats surprisingly consistent for last two games

    Which is why we are a TD dog at home. Its a tall task. Indiana is also capable of scoring very quickly, so I think TOP has to be pretty lopsided in our favor to sneak a victory here. Gron has led the offense to some long scoring drives and the offensive line is coming together. That said...

    Hey Fry

    No one enjoys seeing Nebbie fans suffer as much as this guy, but if you think that this is Scott Frost's Nebraska squad you are wrong. Rhule outcoached Biff and kept Nebbie in a game they had no business being in. Michigan was bigger, tougher and more talented. They have a pretty soft...

    which fan base is most unhappy

    Can't be UCLA, they have no fans. Wisky has to be right up there because they thought they had a coach and he is regressing the program right before their Jumping Around eyes. Unless things change drastically, he should be gone regardless of the buy-out. F Bama, Clemson, and Florida...

    Gronowske's stats surprisingly consistent for last two games

    Gron has gotten better every week. I will fight you if you disagree with that. The fact that he had a very similar statistical and aesthetical against UMass at home and then against a much more talented team on the road in Rutgers is further evidence that he is growing. Was he perfect? God...

    So Rob Howe wrote an article....

    As our resident lawyer, this is 100% the case. I settle bullshit cases on behalf of my clients on a near daily basis. The truth is, I cost a lot of money and a lot of times it is a better business decision to pay the other side a little bit of money to make him go away, than pay me a lot of...

    Why does Nebby have so much more money than us?

    Fry is right. Warren supports the University, but I have never heard of him being a booster or giving money to the sports side of things. As a resident of Nebraska, I will take the 50k. But, to liquidate that much cash to do it, Buffet would crash the markets in ways never seen before.

    Why does Nebby have so much more money than us?

    No. Trev Alberts killed UNO's football program (high D2) a decade ago. Creighton has not had a football program since they played with leather helmets. Kearney and Wayne State have low level football programs, but those are more like Morningside type programs, IMHO. No Drake and certainly no...

    Why does Nebby have so much more money than us?

    The other thing to keep in mind is that the free wheeling days of NIL being without limits has now come to an end to a certain degree starting just a few months ago. All schools now pay directly at an equal salary cap and contracts outside of school payments must be approved as legitimate NIL...
