This headline falls in the "No shit, Sherlock" category.

Fry, here is another way to look at it. I manage roughly 25 people in various capacities, and sometimes people screw up. Rare is the case that the mistake is so drastic that on the first occasion I am showing them the door. Good corporate culture is one of accountability, but also grace and...

Agreed. Its nice being on a board with good people who can discuss things with civility.

Wow. I have generally liked Rob and enjoyed it when he posted and discussed things on this forum. But, that was a bad piece of journalism, even if you could call it that. So, let me see if I get this right. In an article that most of us could have written in the time it takes to sit down for...

I don't know that the media has been hyping up Iowa all that much. Preseason Iowa was a marginal just out of the Top 25 school, which was fair given trendlines and returning players. A few pundits suggested Iowa as a dark horse for the playoffs, but that was not widespread. If you added up...

Sure. There was a meltdown when we lost by 3, via a 55 yard field goal, on the road, to the 16th ranked team in the country. This is a game Iowa should win, but a conference road game is a conference road game. The meltdown for me is that it would be sad to know this is a lost season 4 games...

Short week and lengthy travel are usually not a good combination. Iowa needs to be very efficient on offense. Run the ball, score when the opportunities arise, and don't turn the damn ball over at all.

Is this our UCLA game from last year where we lose to an inferior team who plays the game of their life and we are out of sorts because we had to ride a plan for more than two hours? Nah. We usually do ok on the East Coast. Iowa 24 Frankly Scarlet 13

We have played two JV Girls Volleyball Teams and our biggest rival who was content to fight us in a phone booth at home. Let's not get too excited about these stats. We have some serious offensive power coming our way over the next 6 weeks. We can crow about the defense if they hold up...

You were making a lot of sense to me until I got to the end. If the premise of this paragraph is that Iowa is weaker this year than last, and you are pointing to WR and QB, you are dead wrong. First, yes, LB is much weaker. We had a couple of good ones last year for sure. But, we are...

I heard one of those professional gambler with the 1=800 number guys on the radio this morning in Omaha, and he said he thought the wrong team was favored and he has Iowa winning by 3. One dude's opinion, but I was happy to hear it!

Ferentz mentioned him during the presser as someone who consistently violates the no tackle in practice rule. Sounds like a beast of a kid with bad intentions. Hopefully he finds his way onto the field as a LB at some point.

Dayton Howard is listed as well. We have one WR over 6 ft tall! The way Williams ran, I would think he would be getting the rock the most, but it likely will remain a committee unless someone separates. Washington is explosive in the open field. Maybe Lester has a few plays in mind to get...

And to be clear, revenue is not profit. They have a lot of employees, security, vendors, parking lot attendants, etc. that are all getting paid to make a game day happen. The profit to the athletic department, however is clearly millions if not tens of millions per home game. But yes, at a...

I don't understand the point of the article. The game itself really doesn't have anything to do with it. Iowa has a better and bigger stadium, more fans, more boosters, and plays in a better conference. So yes, Iowa makes more money off football than ISU. So what? I am not aware of any...

This. Iowa State may blow Iowa out. Iowa may blow the Clowns out. History would say it will be a fun game and close. Either way, I am not speaking to my Cyclone graduate brother this week. He is dead to me for 6 days every year!!!

Stop making good points with facts and statistics. Anyone who watched the first quarter of that game knows that Iowa did not handle business, nothing has changed, MG is just the same as the other QBs the last 5 years, and KF calls all the plays and the game has passed him by. Iowa State by at...

I generally agree with your points. I will say that I don't think we know how good either one of these teams are. That KState win was not pretty and K-State's near loss to North Dakota at home calls into question how good they are. Both Iowa and Iowa State have veteran teams and should be...

Come on. They are not that good and we are not that bad. Although there was a slow start, Iowa handled its business against a crap opponent in workmanlike fashion. The Clowns barely beat a team on a nuetral site that damn near just lost to an FCS team at home. Vegas didn't build all those...
