Agreed. And the second levels to the tree are crazy too Bill Snyder alone: Mangino, Leavitt, McCarney, Bielema, Stoops. And Stoops' tree is pretty crazy as well, and there are a lot of commonalities between the various trees of the Fry tree. Hayden is one of most underrated influencers in...

Michigan State just said ouch. :)

I was watching him over the lunch hour yesterday and he was discussing the Big Ten's proposed mega expansion of the playoffs and how some (like me) believe that this is gutting the core of college football. He disagreed with that and believed that expansion of the playoffs and modeling college...

He's not a HOFer, but he is in the hallway outside the room. Great career. Great Hawk.

The other thing is that position coaches and even coordinators can have blind spots. You really like a kid and see he has such potential, but when he gets on the field he makes the same mistakes over and over again. KF has to look at the bigger picture and help his assistants see things they...

A good leader hires good people, assigns their responsibilities, and trusts them to carry them out. Posters are always debating how much control KF has over this or that. The reality is that he is the boss, but if his coordinators and position coaches feel a certain way, he is almost always...

If you play a 12 game schedule and you are ranked 32, you do not deserve a shot to try and prove you are a title contender. Frankly, all you are is cannon fodder for the real contenders as you go to their house and get spanked in the first couple rounds. If we go by the USA rerank, Iowa was...

If Indiana strings together two good seasons in a row it will be the first time in my memory that has happened. They had a good year the COVID year and were hyped coming into the next season and laid a turd. I like Coach Cig and think they will have a good year. But, they won't sneak up on...

Exactly. Winning a conference title has always meant something and it still should. But, absent a bye, there is actually a disadvantage to playing in that game, other than the pride factor of winning the conference. what if a coach chose to rest his players and tank the conference title game...

I can live with that if the first two rounds are on campus and the final four is played in neutral site NFL stadiums. I was honestly surprised they skipped over 8. Two campus games followed by the championship at a nuetral site would have been my sweet spot.

I was actively cheering for NW a couple years back, because they too had never won a tourney game. When they won their first round game I was so happy that Nebbie was the last school standing. Let's keep that streak going! And unlike the fictitious sellout streak in football, this streak is...

This waters down the regular season waaaaayyyyy too much. That is what was great about college ball versus pro. Every game had huge significance for title games, playoffs, and bowls. In the pros, the Chiefs can lose a stinker to the Raiders and not have it have much impact upon a playoff run...

Despite the mantra that Iowa's pro style offense was complicated under BF, it wasn't. He was just a bad teacher. And, last year Lester's offense was very simplistic given the severe limitations at QB. It was mostly power runs and simple pass plays. NFL offenses, and the Steelers have a good...

The NCAA is so feckless that they don't know what the hell to do. They know they are about 5 minutes from being fired from major college football anyway. I personally don't like punishments that hurt the kids and coaches that are there now, and largely leaves the masterminds untouched. That...

Looks like I was pretty close. They are talking that the fine could exceed 20 million. Ouch. Still, some donor will just write a check. Harbaugh will never coach in college again, that's for sure...

It gets pretty hard to figure dogs until you see how the season plays out. Let's say we beat the Clowns on the road. A road win against a ranked opponent is going to move us up in ranking and betting odds. Going to chalk thereafter, we would be ranked and a slight favorite against Rutgers...

It is obviously the cause of their futility. Isn't that the franchise that almost hired KF early in his tenure? Clearly, these guys could have had 5 SB titles by now if they had just bought into all things Iowa.

The NCAA is announcing the punishments tomorrow. Let's get a pool going, what do they get? I will go with Harbaugh and Stallions being Show-Caused, that is a no-brainer. Sherron gets 4 games Two-year Probation Fine The '23 Natty stands, however. Thoughts?????

The scariest part is that our current punter might end up being the best of them all if camp talk and video can be believed!

Why not? The schedule is tough, but that also means 10-2 might be good enough to sneak in. If the QB can at all replicate what he did at SDSU, and that is a huge IF, Iowa will be a very tough out. Iowa will be a a dog against ISU, PSU and USC. Probably a push at Wisky and at home against...
