    Will Beathard have a big season?

    If he stays healthy and his receivers catch the ball, 3000 yards passing, 700 rush yards, 30 total TD's.

    Michigan is sooooo over-rated!

    I saw Dodd's preseason rankings and thought the same thing. I know they have some highly touted recruits but I don't see a conference championship contender let alone a playoff contender in Ann Arbor. Who knows though, who saw an 12-0 Iowa team last year. Eff Michigan though.

    SUNDAY: ESPN Airing Tyler Sash Related Outside the Lines

    Absolutely. Football is ingrained in our culture. I don't think it'll ever go away, but just may be played differently. Like anything else, it will evolve for better or worse.

    SUNDAY: ESPN Airing Tyler Sash Related Outside the Lines

    I thought this was very well done and enjoyed the commentary from the panel after the segment. The one guy knew he was messed and stayed in the game at whatever cost necessary. But like anyone who has played in competitive sports, especially at the NCAA D-1 or pro level, will tell you, the drive...

    Derrick Willies

    I think you'll recall CJB more or less pressing Ferentz to name him the starter. That worked well. Now, I obviously don't think the players should be setting the depth chart, but it appeared to me and most, that DW was a special player and it was unfortunate he left. It's unfair to say he had no...

    2016 Incoming Class

    Seems like we are recruiting hard and winning the battles against mostly FCS and MAC schools with a few Power 5 sprinkled in there...does that seem concerning to anyone? I just found it interesting that in Howe's article I didn't see us winning recruits from any real noteworthy programs...

    Embarrassment for the ages

    This is an embarrassment on a huge national stage. Where do we go from here? Good luck to us getting any credibility ever. Thoughts?

    Predictions for Big Ten Championship Game.......

    33-31 Hawks despite Dantonio pulling a special teams fake, surprise onside kick, and some kind of flea-flicker/hook and ladder trick play.

    As a fan, how does this compare to 2002?

    2002 was my Senior year at Iowa and it felt awesome as we saw the team go from the 1 win season a few years before to a 1 loss team. Plus we had a Heisman candidate and had a lot of media love, felt like we were the darling of the media in 2002. The excitement around campus was unequivocal to...

    Idiocy Knows No Bounds...

    I read her post this morning about how Iowa could doom the B1G if we go 13-0 because then the Big Ten would not have a team in the College Football playoffs. Does ESPN have editors read this garbage prior to posting? Do these people have a post middle school education? Seems unlikely!

    Does an undefeated opponent in the B1G Championship Game matter?

    I've heard it on College Football Sunday and read it here: http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/14092647/what-kind-shape-college-football-playoff-contenders-in (coincidentally both from the great minds at ESPN) but do you think that if Iowa goes 13-0 but does so by beating either...

    Syphilis on a Clinton? Seriously?

    I laughed on the podcast and was like WTF, then this post title made me laugh, the later posts made me laugh even harder... didn't realize how sensitive everyone is regarding STD's and a Democratic party candidate for president. I think most posters need to R-E-L-A-X...Hawks are 8-0!

    A 5-6 Nebraska beating 11-0 Iowa this year?

    Haha, I like your style. If they would do a national tour and show up to the all the various shows unannounced with the DX Entrance Music or Back in Black, cross chop, and trash their set in classic WWE fashion that would be the funniest/awesomeest thing ever in sports, ever.

    A 5-6 Nebraska beating 11-0 Iowa this year?

    I'm honestly trying to not look that far ahead yet and trying to treat each game as if I'm at a Roulette table and hope I win the next 5 spins...excited with anticipation for the next win yet have some reserved nervousness and slight expectation of a loss. It's fun to look ahead and think what...

    Ferentz Transcript: talks Injuries, maryland and perspective

    Exactly! I enjoy trying to decipher KF's press conferences...I swear at times he speaks in riddles.

    Regardless of rank, are we going into a place that we shouldn't be this year?

    I didn't read all the posts but I assume this is an echo of other posters...Iowa got to this place because they beat the competition that they were scheduled against, therefore the way the system has been established, they should be right where they belong. This happens all the time in sports...

    2015 Hawkeyes = Party Crashers!

    The thing about radio/TV personalities is that it's there job to take a position on something and be as harsh and hard as possible about it in order to polarize listeners and viewers and gain ratings. You agree with one side, you listen in affirmation, you disagree, you still listen with...

    Tate ... good story

    I live in Houston and met Drew at a game watch last year (vs Tennessee). Not many people there know who he was but I recognized him and sent a round of beers his way. He came over and chatted for a while with my wife and I and is honestly one of the nicest guys I've ever met. He and his folks...

    CJB, himself, on his health

    Does anyone know CJB and can just call him and confirm? Maybe a friend or roommate? This week's injury suspense is killing me!!!
