    Does this season mean anything to you anymore?

    Chosen ... my condolences for your loss, and that family's loss. It took my breath away to read your post since it hit so close to home. Guys, kiss your wife and hug your kids. Tell them you love them. As Coach Fry says, thank the good Lord each morning you are on this side of the grass...

    Gatens Injures Hand in Practice

    Dang. I was going to ask earlier this week if Gatens could play outside linebacker for a few games.

    Cubs' Lou Pinella to retire

    If Ryno is not selected for the Pirates or Jays job, what does he do? Coach third for Chicago, take a bench job elsewhere, or return to Iowa one more year? I'm sure a Hall of Famer has an ego, but he tucked it in the last few years to manage in places like Peoria and Des Moines. His work...

    Cubs' Lou Pinella to retire

    I'm not the smartest of posters, but I really felt back in July that Quade should have a shot at the job in 2011. Today's announcement could be good news. He's a sharp baseball man, though not a "name". He did a great job at AAA Iowa previously, and proved he can work with big leaguers, too...

    Bye week boredom...best Hawkeye names

    Another vote for Demo Odems (almost the same frontwards as backwards). Honorable mention, with an assist from the nickname ... Stormin' Norman Granger.

    Will Tim Brewster be Minnesota's head coach when Iowa plays them on November 27th?

    Re: Will Tim Brewster be Minnesota's head coach when Iowa plays them on November 27th Goof-offs sent Smokey Joe Salem packing 30 years ago by telling him Iowa was his last game. He quickly left Kinnick after a blowout loss and was not heard from again. Same deal with Brewster. Minnesota...

    Hampton torn ACL- out season

    Tough situation for Jewel. The young man worked his tail off to return this season. This is a violent game, and running backs are a target high, low, everywhere. I hope he recovers fully while maintaining focus on his education. As for the upcoming games, expect lots of blitz packages and...

    Keith Jackson

    Positive news on Wegher from Marc Morehouse-

    Chad, like your son's name. Great and proud legacy. Have to wonder, though ... any consideration to naming him John Hayden last January?

    Big Ten Media Day Sightings

    Zooker's "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" last night sounded even worse on the radio. I had to brace myself for each new stanza. He had to pause to catch his breath, like Harry used to do. It was so bad you could almost hear Santo chuckling in the background. Santo and Hughes interviewed...

    I saw _______ on a ______, he'll be starting by midseason.

    Pat Haden saw Lane Kiffin on his I-Phone with a booster, he'll be toast by postseason.

    Cubs' Lou Pinella to retire

    Mike Quade, third base coach, is a darkhorse candidate. He managed AAA Iowa earlier and was highly regarded for his baseball knowledge and relationship skills. If Hendry stays (we all have our opinions), Quade has a real shot. Sandberg certainly is a popular candidate, but if he's only a...

    Future HAWK needs your prayers!

    "The LORD bless you and keep you. The LORD will make His face shine upon you and be gracious upon. The LORD look upon you with favor, and give you His peace." Amen. RJ, you don't have to be "religious" ... just trust in the LORD, the Author and Creator of all life.

    it's my 100th post

    Congrats Fran on the milestone. I'm not sure I'll ever have 100 things worth saying. Guess I'll always be a panty-waisted freshman.

    Make your prediction: who is first new Big Ten team?

    Nebraska and Missouri as a package deal, plus one new TV market team (Maryland, Rutgers or GTech) to make 14. Notre Dame is too caught up in pride and nostalgia to seize the opportunity it has. Irish fill their indy schedule with any schools they can find outside the power conferences.
