    Do bowl games mean anything anymore?

    A sellout at 30% capacity seems like just another day in Lincoln.

    Reports: QB Hank Brown Visiting Hawkeyes

    In fairness Lucy was in way too far over her head with the bookies and may have had a bounty on on her. Shaving points on the street was the only thing she could do. She hated doing it to her friend, but had no choice.

    Reports: QB Hank Brown Visiting Hawkeyes

    Knowing what we know now if Mcnamara was a "homerun" I'd rather have the solid get.

    I get the arguments for Hunter and as I said I mean absolutely no disrespect, he's a hell of a player and deserved the award. Even as top 10 (possibly top 5) at both positions I still question that his season was better then Jeanty's or that he was more deserving. There's no "wrong" choice...

    So Where is the Bar for Iowa Basketball

    It's been beaten like a dead horse over the years, but while I'm not sure Fran is the guy that can get us to the sweet 16 or an elite 8 he's consistent year in and year out. Whether I think that consistency is considered "giving up the possibility of something special" or "being complacent"...

    Over/Under On…

    I'm so torn on the Heisman and who I see as the frontrunner. I honestly think Jaenty is more deserving, but Hunter is phenomenal. Hunter is a special player and one of the top 5 in the nation at his positions on both side of the ball, however Jaenty has had a historical season and has placed...

    Over/Under On…

    Agreed about regression, but how good were they really? Finishing 9-3 is one thing, but doing it in the Big 12 when they didn't play a single team they shared the 4 way split with and then lost to Nebby and Kansas. I guess they're currently ranked 23, but I'm far from impressed.

    Such a good movie. Can't tell you how many times I've watched it.

    As much as I despise Coach Prime, it pains me to say that there's no way he comes anywhere close to what Prime has. Prime is a con artist that uses his over the top persona and ego to entice recruits and gets players to buy in. Belichick has no personality, no recruiting experience, and as...

    Let Tim Lester Locate Portal QB

    I hate saying it, but with our stable of wideouts I'm not sure you break the bank to bring in a QB. Almost think we might be better off buying some stud receivers hoping to improve enough in the passing game to bring in some attention and attract future QBs. Either way I'm not sure how we get...

    Logan Jones Back in '25

    Good for his future and definitely good for Iowa's. With all that we lose on the defensive side of the ball were going to need that OL more then ever this year to open some holes.

    Are you confident

    The QB/WR receiver situation is interesting. WR's need QB's to get the ball and QB's need WR's to get open. We don't have receivers that can get open which kills our ability to recruit QB's and we don't have QB's that can get the ball to the WR's which kills our ability to recruit WR's. We...

    CFB Playoffs

    I don't mind 12 teams, but the way they put it together makes me cringe. Conference champs should have received bids, but not byes in a 12 team format. The byes should have gone to the top 4 contenders and then seeded the rest, because I think they've absolutely butchered things the way they...

    There's few other teams more worthy of being bitten then Nebby. It never gets old.

    Melt down thread

    My favorite are all the "but we absolutely won the stat line there's no way we should have lost..." arguments. Have they never watched an Iowa game. They killed us statistically, but only got 10 pts out of it...based on what I've seen year in and year out that's a recipe for an Iowa win.

    Iowa, Nebraska Kicked Off Nonsense

    I don't disagree with you, however if it's decided that "winner gets to do it" then as we saw this weekend it's going to continue. I think at the minimum the conferences have to take into consideration whether it's worth it to allow it to continue going forward. If they decide the possible...

    Iowa Kansas

    I don't want this to come off as a shot at CC or any of the others we lost last year, but one of the things about having a generational talent is generally there are sacrifices made by those around her to help her reach that level. While I could never say that I wouldn't have wanted CC's...

    nebraska Game Weather

    Only NFL game I ever went to happened to also be the worst worst football game I remember sitting through. It was week 17 of 2002 when the Bears played the Bucs in Champaign, because they were still renovating Soldier Field. I looked things up out of curiosity and the temp was in the upper 30s...

    McNamara Done

    My two cents... I said from day one that once KF decided to go away from CM then your looking at the future from that point on and no reason for him to even be considered as the number 2 because he simply wasn't good enough. That said this whole thing makes perfect sense to me. You have a QB...
