In order to throw the ball deep, your line has to sustain blocks for at least 4 seconds. We may well get there as the season develops but right now we can't depend upon that, even for one play. Even with ISM, we didn't take many shots downfield until at least the 4th or 5th game of the season...

Well, TAMU didn't punt, which means they scored on every possession, and they had 2 interceptions of their own, one of which was returned for a TD.

Doesn't make sense. You want him to line up at DE but then call his coverage as a LB "amazing". I say leave him at LB and run a few blitz packages... but we won't see that for the next two games.

He cheated. (Actually earned the nickname Sneaky Pete) He got the heaviest sanctions in NCAA history laid on USC and they were stripped of their national title. Of course, Carroll never skipped a beat and was hired by the Seahawks.

I've got 1.5 acres inside the "city limits" of Muscatine. I see a number of snakes - mostly garter snakes - in the yard when I mow.

I see Brian Allen as a "good to have but don't need" recruit. He plays D-line and is a 3 star (.8577). We already have two D-linemen that are ranked higher: Caden Crawford is a 3 star (.8763) and Aaron Graves who is a 4 start (.9531).

My wife went to Dexfield HS (Dexter and Redfield) and they had some really good teams when she was there. But they always lost to Niemeyer and Adel in the tournament. That was back when Iowa girls played 6 on 6.

At least two of the times he was flushed from the pocket, he wisely threw the ball away as the two receivers on that side of the field were both double teamed.

Either that or they subscribe to "Matthew Loves Ball" or "Wheels" on YouTube.

A lot of doubters were telling us that in 2017 ISU had all the cards in it's favor. Stanley had no business being the starter and he couldn't lead us to a win. Guess what? He did. I would posit that Petras is farther along at this point in his career than Stanley was. He's definitely more...

I was at that game. Third row behind the Indiana bench. My brother, trombone section leader in the marching band, got the tickets for the wife and I. It was definitely a tale of two halves. Iowa couldn't do anything wrong in the first half and Indiana couldn't do anything wrong in the second...

I was that "immature skinny kid not get playing time". As a high school freshman I was a 5'10" way-too-skinny kid who just enjoyed sports even though I wasn't good at anything other than baseball. By my high school junior year I was 6'6" (still way too skinny) but found a love for basketball; I...

Nah. It's easy to get around Chicago. If you are from Iowa, you take I-80 to Princeton, IL, and pick up the train. Four trains a day go through Princeton to Union Station in Chicago. When I go to Chicago, I take the morning commuter train and get there by 10:30am. Parking at the Princeton...

Just to put this in perspective, here's a list of all the guards (point guards, shooting guards and combo guards) associated with the Big 10 who are in the portal along with their ratings from 247 Sports. None of the incoming guards are from Power 5 conferences (except Jamari Wheeler who is...

Not to disrespect Lute, but exactly how many native Iowans played for Lute and made it to the NBA (or the ABA), besides Bob Hansen?

I didn't have a car until I was a senior in college. There were a few times I crawled out of Joe's KnightHawk, though!

Colorado (Tad Boyle), Providence (Ed Cooley), Seton Hall (Kevin Willard), and Iowa. Although Minnesota had only 2 and Pitino was there 10 years. DePaul and Georgetown only had 2 but the first retired from coaching. And Florida only had 2 but Billy Donovan left for the NBA. There were a total of...

They have changed since I attended college in the mid-70's. Legal age was 18 then. Never had any issues getting into bars (although I did have issues getting out a few times!)

I agree. I can't get on social media or even this site and do my job effectively...... oh, wait!

So where did Baylor hire Scott Drew from? Oh, yeah - mid-major Valparaiso. Where did Alabama hire Nate Oats from? Oh, yeah - mid-major Buffalo. Where did USC hire Andy Enfield from? Oh, yeah - mid-major Florida Gulf Coast. Where did Villanova hire Jay Wright from? Oh, yeah - mid-major Hofstra...
