    Bets that KF hangs it up

    He won't retire anytime soon. He still has Phil Parker and a good defense coming back.

    Wisconsin by far. Always a huge win

    Prediction Thread Citrus’24

    A lot of wisdom in this post. My son was a trombone player in the Iowa marching band for 4 years. It was a lot of work. He was in the stands with the band for Tate to Holloway. Another meaningless game? Not to me or to him.

    Tennessee QB opting out

    I have no idea what to expect. We are playing on New Years Day against a good SEC team so it will mean a lot to these Iowa players. If Hill can hang onto the dang ball, we have a chance. Bowl games matter to the players playing in the game. I’ll always believe that.

    Freeman named starter

    I’ll be very happy to be wrong. I root for Iowa and I graduated from the school. I just see a huge talent gap right now. Hope I am wrong

    Freeman named starter

    I’ll close by saying that I love Fran and have defended him for a long time. But this feels different to me. Coaches sell hope and future improvement. They sell energy and enthusiasm. Fran looks exhausted. It’s a tough league. You have a new AD. Perhaps they get it going in the Big Ten, led...

    Freeman named starter

    We beat a team tonight ranked 327 by Pomeroy. Let’s see how they do against Wisconsin. Perkins is a fine player. I certainly agree with that. . If you can’t defend, you cannot win in the Big Ten. We aren’t defending against the good teams so far. Is that lack of effort? Possibly. Or is it...

    Blimps: Are They Still a Thing?

    The Hindenburg with George C Scott and “Zeppelin” are separate movies. Zeppelin was about World War I.

    Freeman named starter

    I’m not going to single out individual players, but this is what I see: 1. A very, very young team with very little athleticism when compared to the rest of the Big Ten. A middling Michigan team destroyed them. Fran simply is not recruiting enough quick , big ten ready athletes. 2. No real...

    Blimps: Are They Still a Thing?

    It was on the ground, taking off. Much bigger than I anticipated. I can only imagine how massive the Hindenburg was.... It didn't end well for the Hindenburg, obviously. There was a war movie in the 1970s called "Zeppelin," I believe. I think Michael York was in it. Check it out sometime.

    Lil Debbie Natty Champions 2024...

    Well, we have beaten them 9 of the last 11 years. The last 9 years, they have been one of the very worst teams in the Big Ten, with zero winning seasons? It takes more than a quarterback to start winning again. I just watched an SEC TV special on the life of Bart Starr, NFL Hall of Famer. He...

    Candidates for the OC position

    Is it possible that Budmayr will be the OC? That would explain a lot.

    TN players opting out

    They already know who the offensive coordinator is....so calm down. I'm guessing the recruits know as well. There are no hollow victories in bowl games. You either win or you lose with the players you have going into the game. Iowa had a great season.

    TN players opting out

    Jaylen Wright is a 1000 yard rusher. He definitely opted out. That’s a big loss for them.

    Yes. Saw one up close. They are massive

    Candidates for the OC position

    Absolutely true. We DO beat Ohio and Mich about 20 percent of the time starting with Evy era in 1952, so it does happen
