I'm heading to IC on Saturday to take the game in. I'm nervous. They just saw us dismantle Wisconsin and obviously with their emotional week of losing Allar and Coach Franklin, they could play with a lot of emotion. I would prefer Iowa to focus this week and put it on Penn State. I hate when...

He seems to have emerged as TE1. Had a bit of the yips early on, but seems to have settled in. Hopefully the game is slowing down for him. Granted I think we're fairly thin there. Large had a catch or two. Almost came down with a ball down by the goal line. I'm guessing being a converted...

Agreed. The jet sweep to the far side was sniffed out pretty easy. I liked how we used him against Indiana. Caught a slant and a screen. He does scare me because he gets a bit ballsy. His decisions on punts sometimes scare me. But I like his acceleration after he gets the rock in his hand. But...

I think he got some good reps and along with Weetjen, both create some issues for defense. I was happy to see Vander Zee back and making a few key catches. Seems we are doing our best to get Weetjen into the offense too. I like it!

I would love to see Iowa continue to keep the momentum. I am also hoping as Iowa teams do, get better as the season progresses and gel.

Definitely. Iowa had their 2nd and even 3rd team at the end of the 3rd quarter on defense, and they went fairly conservative on offense. I was actually kinda surprised when we went up 30-0 they didn't immediately pull Gronk. Interesting seeing Hecklinski go in. Would like to see more of him to...

I don't think he helped much in his presser earlier in the week. Made mention how Iowa had bullied them in all aspects of the game last year and that was not going to happen this year. He gave Iowa a chance to say "Hold my beer." I bet they wish they wouldn't have given Paul Chryst such a hard...

Rumor had it Adidas was part of the driving force or maybe the reason why Penn State acted so quickly. I think after their loss the previous week, they had several 4 and 5 star decommits as well. Is it true that if your coach is fired midseason you can immediately enter the portal and go to a...

I just hope we don't overlook Penn State. Losing their starting quarterback for the season and their head coach being fired, can make a team dangerous. At this point, they have nothing to lose. I can see them using it as a rallying cry.

https://247sports.com/longformarticle/college-footballs-top-50-programs-ranked-by-nil-efforts-235181311/#2472519 Here's link. Last year Indiana was 28th. Shockingly Iowa is at #16. I'm not surprised Oregon is tops at just shy of one billion!! I may not be a Cignetti fan. But you cannot deny, he...

I would love to see him stick around until his contract expires. I will admit, it seems he is exhausted. Maybe it's just age catching up to him. Idk. What we are is blessed. Blessed to have a coach who has taken this program (with cupboards bare) and made it into a pretty consistent program for...

THIS!!!! I agree. That's our style of play. Time of possession, defense and field position. We don't have the talent to overcome. Some argue it's self inflicted because we don't change, but I would counter that we are not going to attract a bunch of 5 star recruits and we do with what we have...

I agree. It will come to the point of having these "power" conferences and the rest will get scraps.

But are you feeling "elite" today. He has a boat to row. LOL

I agree with some of the comments. The Blue Bloods will still have their "FU" money, but I think other colleges will eventually feel the effects if they don't see the desired results. But who knows. College athletics are the cash cow for universities.

I'm waiting for the money to dry up. While it is good for programs. The payments made to players and some either failing to meet the hopes of the fan base or potentially leaving or getting injured. Like any company, they don't like to have failed investments. Will there ever be a point where big...

Definitely! And it shows that even with talent, coaching is still integral. In some ways, explains why Iowa's football program has maintained a reputation for technique and skill set. Granted, it seems tackling has been a bit suspect of late. But generally speaking, Iowa is known to do more with...

Franklin will be known as the coach that took them from the dark ages of the Sandusky scandal to a winning program again, but couldn't win the big games. But that buyout......oooof. Might be hard to justify. With the money they dumped on building that championship team, it would be curious if...

What I saw and how Iowa played against Indiana (that is until I see if Indiana fares against Oregon) tells me that with Gronk at the helm, we can play with and potentially beat anyone on the rest of the schedule. Whether that happens remains to be seen. But Iowa went toe to toe with Indiana. I...

I wish I would have saved it, but they broke down how much Penn State had spent via NIL money and mocking the loss to UCLA. Ooof. It will be curious if Penn State will go the same route as Nebraska and move to look for another coach? Young Mr. Manning best save his NIL money, he did not look...
