So my mind goes to wondering is this more on KF or Lester? It's yr 2 for Lester but is he actually in charge or is KF? If I'm Lester I wouldn't want to take all the heat if it wasn't deserved. But he's got no choice he has to toe the company line. But this is on his resume and so far the O is...

Yeah I'm scared to do any deep diving into the Xs and Os. Cause I just don't think I'd like what I see. On that play Dotzler is in for Dunker and he barely even got in the way of the DE so unless you're running a quick hitter QB didn't have time.

Iowa basically gave them a reason to exist.

Yeah Lachey didn't seem to do squat either. I was disappointed in both his play and lack of usage. Even when they did try throwing it to him he didn't seem to get much separation or know how to use his body to make plays. Maybe he didn't recover from his nasty injury to 100% though it's hard to...

Not hating on the kid it absolutely sucks he's hurt but I never saw him as a difference making TE like the LaPortas & Hockensons etc. I'm not sure we have one on the roster. It'd be impossible to know cause Lester evidently doesn't want to feature them. Seems like we have recruited well but as...

Yup. Going 3 and out without even trying to stretch the D may be 'safe' but it doesn't win you games against good teams. Iowas record against ranked teams has become putrid. What other stat should one need to realize that?

I'll say this about Campbell. I'd have lost a lot of $ if you'd have told me 3-7 yrs ago that he'd have both had this much success at ISU and he'd still be there. I still think he's crazy for having stayed after having just a whiff of success there. I thought the USC job a few yrs ago was on the...

Yeah why not just play 30 mins of football instead? It would be the same thing. The first half was pointless boring and accomplished nothing. Iowa's game plan is to not make any mistakes and hope the other team does. Be it penalties, TOs gets out of position in the run game etc. Iowa's not...

Well thank you. It was cathartic to get off my chest if nothing else anyway.

I was saying that after the first game and folks wanted to behead me. If for no other reason then it'd have been Sullivans 2nd yr with Lester and he'd have been more comfortable woulda been better. Sullivan wouldn't have had that deer in the headlights look MG has had. As far as their size and...

From the glass half full side it took Iowa playing terribly for ISU to win by 3 with a last minute 54 yard FG.. So either Iowas D is pretty dang good again and or ISU isn't what they are all cracked up to be either. So 2 full games in and offensively neither were any better then what we've...

Listened to a POD with Kyle Huesman and he thinks McKenna is going to be a Hawk. He sounds pretty confident that she'll let the coaches know within a week or so and be a silent commit for awhile before she publicly announces it. Addie Deal did it similarly too. That feels like quite the domino...

Did he ever. It was pretty much accidental. The story of his mom half joking about reclassifying to come now when she didn't even know that was a thing is pretty funny. Ben was like well yeah if his academics are in order it's most definitely possible. Ben didn't bring it up first like some in...

I'd heard this story about him a long time ago and it's pretty amazing. He was front and center for when MLK gave his most famous I have a dream speech. Once it was over MLK walked off the stage and gave the written speech to Raveling who happened be security on the stage. He had it all the way...

Eventually it'll all come down to that... The realities are what they are. Iowa's already been losing out on recruiting battles to Creighton and NE for kids we wanted and that's 99% $ related. It'd take one hell of a coach out kicking their coverage to overcome that long term

The what if of this season to me may end up being what if Iowa just kept Brenden Sullivan instead? It woulda been yr 2 for him under Lester he wouldn't have had the first game/big game jitters Mark evidently had. He's no less athletic probably more so then Mark. Sullivan went to Tulane and got...

That's exactly what it can do. You can sneak out wins on the road that ESPN will tell you that you have no business wining at all. When those guys have situational chemistry and don't have to look down at their feet and wonder what play are they running and just play reactive ball with one...

And that's all great. Again that's special teams... Not the same thing as playing LB. I'm not saying he's going to be great or bad. I'm just saying we don't know

PA slow mesh MG keeps it and throws to Ostrenga over the middle for 12 yards and we're off and running

The thing I take solace in is that yeah we pretty much flipped the whole roster. But he's brought in the best of who he had at Drake and those guys all have built in chemistry with each other and coaches. So it's more like we are adding in a few guys like Hausen and Folgueras to sprinkle in that...
