I was sitting in Section 109 and Row 11. And there were a handful of Oregon fans that were pretty obnoxious. Most Duck fans were pretty quiet most of the game. Wasn't until after the game when they seemed to get a bit loud. I did witness #4 Benson for the Ducks run all the across the field and...

Definitely agree with Phil over Norm. KF actually has a slight advantage in winning percentage 62.5%/56% and both have similar bowl record win percentages, but KF has been to 3 more bowls. (Hayden has a 6-7 record and KF a 10-11 record). So I think with Hayden vs KF, it's statistically a pick'em...

Which is a lot of Phil staying in base defense and not putting a spy on the quarterback. Phil puts a lot on each position to know and stay in their role and then some. However, collectively as a unit, he overachieves year in and year out. Parker also does a helluva job of making halftime...

IF we can repeat history with that energy, that would be awesome. I joking told my son we would storm the field. LOL.

And that's the conundrum make some money now, or potentially declare for the draft and take that risk of not making the 53 man roster. I suppose it's hard to gauge what potential earnings are in the NFL versus NIL for a wide receiver/special team specialist. I do know prior to the NIL that...

I think it seems that in Lester's schemes, having a mobile quarterback is very beneficial. Hecklinski seems to have that ability and from what it seems, he's a bit of a gunslinger too. Maybe a bit like Drew Tate? I'm guessing he arm slotting will be important. Dylan Gabriel seemed to have...

That's the thing. NIL has made it the Wild West and there's a bidding war for athletes. On one end, I say take the money and run. On the other end, I could see that it might benefit him more to be incorporated more in the offense to get more experience. But Charlie Jones and Smith Marsette and...

Much of the sentiment, it's fun to talk about but in all reality, I would love for us to win and even if we don't make it, that's a helluva season with how we played early on. I would love to see this team continue to grow and get better each week. Let's get there first. Win out and we can argue...

Man, I love this place. LOL.

I was just going to bring up KF's timeout comments. Is there any truth that Fleck applied to be a GA or something and was denied by Ferentz? Figured you might know.

You're not wrong. I thought in some ways it was Fleck being petty and passive aggressive but at the end it was miniscule in the grand scheme of things. Hawkeyes still boat raced them.

LOL. All good. Great minds think alike!

Nailed it! Great analysis. Either he is a weapon or at minimum a decoy. And a bad pursuit angle or a slip and he has the ability to get us a chunk play or house it.

Was Fleck playing for a moral victory when he called time out at the end of the 3rd quarter to kick a field goal to ruin the shutout? I kinda laughed to myself and said, "Yup, those 3 points are sure going to help." I took it as a passive aggressive move and an "FU" to Iowa to take the shutout...

I'm with you 100%. Some big games ahead of us. And we have to take one game at a time. Next is Oregon. Period. But definitely it's nice to have the optimism.

Special Teams U? LOL.

His acceleration is just ridiculous. On TV it's pretty wild but live and from a field vantage point, it's wild. But his vision is also very good. Even on jet sweeps, if he has space, his straight line speed is like a video game. He finds that one cut and hits it, he's off to the races. It's...

Probably should have added in "or coaches with less of D1 pedigree" Cignetti has done well but nothing at the Power 5 level. I think he coached at James Madison and Elon and IU (Indianapolis). While having success at those levels, he is actually a good example of a program going with a lesser...

I also don't think they enjoy physical rock fight type of games. That also plays into Iowa's hands. They want to go fast and use their speed. Iowa's methodical approach on offense with TOP, and a stingy defense that makes them play underneath and in front could frustrate them.....I hope. AND...

My curiosity will be will the trend to hire a big name coach begin to fade? With the advent of NIL and etc, will it be such a splash to hire a big name coach if you can just throw money at a program? Instead will they hire a young coach who is savvy and can recruit over a fella with measured...
