    Beth needs to pull the trigger

    Whether he stays or not the program needs an overhaul. How do you build an roster when NIL plays such an important part? You do it with defense. Offense is "sexy" and offensive players are going to cost you. That said your hard core defenders are most likely going to be much cheaper. Do I...

    Sad

    It was painful listening to the commentators talking labeling it an "upset" in a must win game. I get the fact it's a road game, but I hardly call a 6-13 conference record that's 15-15 overall beating a team that's 7-12 and 17-13 an "upset". Then again I'm sure FOX was doing all they could to...

    What's going on with Hawkeye Nation?

    That or he'll just shut it down.

    LOL but Angel Reese has her own value meal at McDonald's assuming it can find its way into the bag.

    Iowa player that just couldn’t get there

    I just started reading this thread and his name immediately came to mind. Surprised no one said it sooner.

    What's going on with Hawkeye Nation?

    Ironically I think I've only ever read a handful of articles and really just come for the forums. Love the interaction and as I've joked before it feels like one big dysfunctional family. Glad to have you all around, regardless of view points, and hope to keep the party going as long as possible.

    No doubt. But hey bet when they raise costs again next season they'll get the same result lol.

    Iowa Athletic Rev_Basketball Comment

    So here's a logical solution. They want to put more butts in the season maybe try dropping the prices. I'm not saying that I'm cheap, but as busy as I am I might be much more willing to go to games if ticket prices for average games were appealing. While I get the majority of the revenue...

    Top round roast

    You bastards!!! I just stumbled upon this thread at 1:30 pm on a day when I had to skip lunch. Now my mouth is watering, I'm craving steak, and won't be able to eat for another 4 hours at the very least (assuming Wednesday night soccer league gets cancelled), and still have to live with the...

    Quick notes on D

    What I don't get is we tend to act shocked when guys/teams have breakout perimeter games against us. Like we truthfully can't understand how it happens lol.

    Thank you to Brian Ferentz

    Agree that I'm not surprised at all he's back to being a position coach and didn't get a shot at the role of OC. That said I think he actually did a decent job as a position coach and was simply way in over his head as an OC. I find it easy to wish him luck now that he's no longer tied to Iowa...

    Kitties vs Catholics Game

    Not a fan of either team, but honestly found myself cheering for ND last night. Freeman's just too good of a coach not to like him and what he's done for the program. Franklin on the other hand, hate him and his ego with a passion and could watch him come up short in big games every day for...

    Kaden Wetjen Wins Jet Award

    Great point. Honestly I'm really going to miss these stories of successful walk on's going forward. I hate to see the NCAA do away with them.

    Mark Gronowski

    Good pickup. Now that we've got our QB's lets get some receivers and spend some NIL money on the other side of the ball.

    Mark Gronowski

    I guess I see it differently because I don't see Fran making the sweet 16 and making the college football playoffs being remotely on the same level in terms of how I see things. A sweet 16 appearance involves advancing through a tournament that we should be appearing in on a consistent basis...

    Mark Gronowski

    With our schedule next season some would see 7 or 8 wins a success. I get your point, but as much as it pains me to say it, there's only a handful of teams that can really take a "playoff or bust mentality" going forward and Iowa isn't one of them. It can (and should) be the end goal every...

    Other bowl games

    To be totally honest, I'm about as far as you can get to being a conference homer and would love nothing more then to see every fellow Big Ten Team get beat when playing someone other then us. That said I'm enjoying watching the SEC bow out one by one and all the conference homers running to...

    Mark Gronowski

    If were making the shift from traditional pocket passers to scrambling QB's depth at the QB position more important then ever. I think this would be a very good pickup and despite what I think about Sully as the projected starter, I would hope there's an open competition in the fall.

    Music City Bowl Game Thread

    Receivers want targets and a QB that can get them the ball. While our playbook is expanding we still have zero dependence on the passing game and still don't have someone that can consistently get them the ball. ISU, as much as we hate it, can throw the ball and therefore are a Ames is a...

    IMO the targeting situation is getting absolutely stupid. I understand player safety, but they're reviewing them way too often and when they do the ones that seem blatantly obvious aren't called. I don't get it and think it's gotten to the point where it's just ridiculous.
