    UDFA Higgins makes the team - Ravens

    That was really cool. Worth the 5 minutes to click and watch. Thanks for sharing. Very proud of Jay.

    Predictions for Albany

    Because I was at the SDSU Iowa game 3 years ago and we won 7-3!! Granted, Albany is pretty bad, but its not like Iowa's offense has not stunk things up in the opener many times under KF.

    Predictions for Albany

    We all agree it will be a blow out of some sort, but I think there are debatable points about whether to the leave the starters in even when the game is in hand. The offense, especially, needs reps. It will be interesting to see how the game plays out. Oh, and if its 10-3 at halftime I am...

    Strong take. If only it were not all that far fetched!

    Predictions for Albany

    Alright boys, season is finally here. Let's start some prognosticating and discussions! A game like this seems like a sleeper. Pretty weak opponent, even by cupcake standards. But, its the first game and with a new QB and second year of a real offensive system, I am excited to see how Gron...

    UDFA Higgins makes the team - Ravens

    Given his production in college, I am still amazed no one took a flyer with a late round pick. I get that his measurables and athleticism are not off the charts, but the guy is just a tackling machine.

    Watching the games without cable.

    I cut the cable cord two years ago and got YouTubeTV with the sports package. I wants says its like 60 bucks a month. But, it includes the NFL package so you basically get every NFL game. It also has all of the major sports channels and a lot of minor ones too. I saw every Iowa game last...

    It will still be fresh. Sort of like the smell of fresh manure at the county fair.

    Inaugural Depth Chart

    I think folks are overreading the depth chart. I expect RVZ will have as many or more snaps than any of the receivers. There are a lot of veteran receivers on the squad and it does not shock me that a true sophomore coming off some injuries is not listed as a starter. Very KF, and we all know...

    Owen Freeman

    This is an easier call for me as I went to Creighton and they are my second team, so I will have no problem cheering for Josh and Owen this winter. That Sanford kid is dead to me. In all seriousness, there was a coaching change and the man that brought them to Iowa was fired. I don't blame...

    Inaugural Depth Chart

    Further evidence that KF is letting Lester run the offense the way that Lester wants to. Recruiting faster WRs at the expense of height and possibly blocking has not been the norm at Iowa during the KF era. KF hired the chef and he is letting him select the ingredients. As it should be.

    Inaugural Depth Chart

    Short, quick guys with an accurate QB can be a deadly combination. Tyreek Hill has been one of the best WRs in the league for a while now. If anything, I have grown tired of the slow, tall WRs we seemed to gather under BF. Speed kills. Lester knows that. Let's see how it plays out.

    Kirk Herbstreit names Hawkeyes as B1G Sleeper

    I mean, I guess the counter to that argument is that sidelining a guy who is about to become the winning coach in Big10 history, and who is currently on the hottest 10-year streak in modern program history, might not be the wisest thing to do. KF is the reason this program wins. I again note...

    Bennett Stirtz

    Excited to see him in Black and Gold. This could be a very interesting first season for Coach Mc. He has some very good pieces to work with, and the man can flat out coach.

    Fresno State vs Kansas

    I think coach is better regarded than consultant. Consultant is like going to rehab. You do it for a year while recovering from a disgrace, and then start climbing back up the coaching ladder.

    Fresno State vs Kansas

    A lot of Iowa connections indeed. Kurt's other son was a walk on receiver at Nebbie for a couple years. BF has certainly had to restart his coaching career near the bottom rung of the ladder. He is going to have to grind to climb back up again. Hopefully, he banked some money from his time...

    Kirk Herbstreit names Hawkeyes as B1G Sleeper

    KH has always been a big KF fan, so no shock here. As others have noted, we have some key pieces back, so its not exactly the hottest take out there. Iowa is going to have to upset at least two Top 20 teams to have a shot at the playoffs. I don't see Iowa running the table in the conference...

    Iowa Receivers Depth Chart

    Shanahan's offense can be very complicated and it does take some time to learn and mesh all the skill players. If you have a smart QB, who can make quick reads and throw accurately to a spot, this offense can churn like butter. Brock Purdy is a perfect example. Average arm, average...

    Athletic's Mandel Likes Iowa

    I want Iowa State to lose by 42 points and then their plane disappears over the Atlantic, Lost style.

    Kirk Breaks Down Position Battle

    Not all that well, but in fairness, KF's assistants really don't leave. He has had 3 OCs and 2 DCS in his 26 years at the helm. That is insane! Joe Philben is by far the most successful of the coaches who left. He was HC for the Dolphins and has otherwise had a good career in the NFL after...
