    McNutt

    I like the way they use him now as it keeps options open and allows him flexibility in running routes. IMO, this will make him open more then not. If we "role him" then defenses will key more when he is lined up. As of now he is a threat short, mid and deep.

    How to stop Michigan

    Couldn't have said it better....he doesn't know what is coming and I'm sure he will get his, just keep them to a minimum and string him out or force him inside to the roaming LB that is shadowing him. Then make the tackle!

    How to stop Michigan

    I agree that we will play to keep him from running and beat him with his arm. I'm not totally sold on that yet. I think we also have to keep the ball when on offense and make long drives that score touchdowns. Hitting hard should and even harder the next time should be our mantra. Don't beat...

    Any ideas on how we attempt to prepare for Shoelace?

    Sash will be key in this game, IMO, we must force the plays inside so he has to make a quick decision to run vs throw. I'm not totally convinced he can beat a disciplined team throwing the ball. we can't come up too quick which is why feeding him to linebackers will be crucial.

    Any ideas on how we attempt to prepare for Shoelace?

    [Drive him into the dirt....over and over Bring in timmy D to play Shoelace I agree with this....he will slow up as he has to run his eyes around the field to locate the next hawkeye that wants to hurt him. We will be something different then he has seen before. At least I can hope we...

    Is the Big East Consipiring to take Run at Big 10 Teams?

    I was recently in company with a financial donor to big twelve schools who has many inside contacts. These contacts stated that the Big 10 is not in as good of shape as they think with the addition of Nebraska. In fact, they claim NE hurt their recruiting as they abandoned the TX TV market which...

    New Tailgating Rules: Too Strict or About Time?

    THe DUI is the main changer, they won't be able to get everyone out of the lots in an hour due to traffic being stopped. How do they determine who to stop? Do they assume all traffic hitting the coralville exit East are coming from the game? Pretty strange. I guess they just make you blow and if...

    Aaron Greving

    I know when I played Div I basketball that our coach would often yell that he could take our scholarships away and send us home. Ultimately it was a strange way to motivate us but it worked. I was one that did end up giving up basketball due to back injuries. I added 3 hours a day to my schedule...

    ISU might be the school to no longer want Cy-Hawk game

    JT is sold out at 50K standing room so if any games go above this mark they are going well. They easily hit this with the Iowa/ISU game. I for one am a fan of state of Iowa football and love the series. Especially over the last 11 years where it's been very competative. Sure it adds to the...

    Cowherd: Oregon to offer Izzo 3.5 million per year

    Money talks though. Many think that men his age with as much money already don't still think about it, sometimes we start to think of how many others in our family could benefit or the life our direct ties could lead with more money....plus, oregon is much nicer this time of year then Michigan...

    reaction after Lickliter hiring

    I completely agree. I always got the feeling from Alford that "I'm really too good to be here" from Lick "I have not a clue what is going on and how I fix it" and from this guy...."I want to be here, my family wants to be here, we understand it's going to be work but we're here to get it done...

    reaction after Lickliter hiring

    I actually called what happened with Lick. I didn't like the style he was going to bring. I remember thinking it was different then anything we had ever seen. but what finally sold me was his previous record and that Wisconsin developed a pretty similar program. I did want to give him a...

    CFN on our attitude and conservative style

    I agree with all the above....but have to mention that at times it seems like we may be conservative when what fans are really seeing is adjustement by defenses not to allow some of the big plays we see earlier in the game. I know from experience that plays that work in the first half don't...

    Don't Dismiss the Les Jepsen Talk

    LOL. No no, we need more points, not more dribble from top of key under the hoop and back out to the perimiter. Troy Skinner...the best Iowa dribbler who never really "dribbled" anywhere.! Troy Skinner, Les Jepsen and Wade lookingbill. Now there's a coaches bench!

    Headed to St. Louis

    Be careful if you partake in Adult beverages. I believe alcohol content is a bit higher down there. Last time my wife and I went, we ended up being pretty loopy by halftime and then it dawned on us......oh we actually drank like 2-3 more beers by content then we otherwise are used to. Of...

    UNI support

    Now that's funny....Remember that UNI currently boasts three programs, education, accounting and marketing as 3 top 5 programs in the nation. When I left UNI accounting was one of the top 2 programs in the nation. I also went to Iowa which has strengths as well. I assume you made this...

    We'll know which direction we are headed in based on timing...

    We can't afford it to be anyone other then the second group. Take our time this time and spend what is necessary...heck if no coach by the deadline, just have Ferentz bring the football team over and tell them to run and gun for "lay ups only" probably score more points, and foul out our whole...
