    Currently having lunch with Gronowski and Jones

    The only part we snooped on was what they ordered. Duenker's pregame diet ritual is already out there. That and their discussion on which Star Wars video game was best. Which really warmed my heart as a Star Wars guy. I just heard a podcast with Molly Ringwald where she talked about how she...

    Currently having lunch with Gronowski and Jones

    Duenker...not Entringer. Not sure why I typed Entringer. Duenker is pretty identifiable.

    Currently having lunch with Gronowski and Jones

    Absolutely. 100% But respectful. Most I'll do is say "get 'em fellas" as we walk past.

    Currently having lunch with Gronowski and Jones

    Enteringer just joined them and moved tables right next to us. Good sign. They're healthy. Getting well fed. Hanging out...bonding.

    Well, not really. They're 3 tables away from us at Bluebird Cafe.

    I mean, I kinda want this to be true rather badly. Not because I'm desperate for a new coach. Because it means Goetz has a plan and a concept. She's not necessarily looking at who's available and trying to guess who's the best of the bunch. No guarantees it works out. But it's better than...

    Matt Rhule - Iowa Week Interview

    Yah, I am not saying he's "got it". I'm just saying if this was his first year, we'd all be pretty excited. For his sake, I want to believe he's just late catching on. Maybe he didn't get developed well. I dunno. I just hope he gets a chance to show how good he can be (assuming he can be...

    Matt Rhule - Iowa Week Interview

    I've been thinking a lot about Nwankpa. Obviously, he came in with a big blast. Probably the most memorable high school signing outside of Proctor and all that followed with him. And yet, he never completely captured fandom. Sometimes even drew some mild ire from fandom. I have really high...

    Wetjen Named Jet Award Finalist

    The funny thing is, he'd be surprised by this and felt he underperformed this season.

    This is me, going on record. Who is my pick from what I know is available (not knowing any Nate Shelley's and also knowing that some "big name" coach isn't coming to Iowa)....I'm going on record and changing my signature to: HIRE DEMARR GOODS

    16%

    OK....My math was off. I got access to better stats. Not 16%. Around 10%. Same difference as far as I'm concerned. It's like I used to look at Tiger Woods in his prime. I remember him getting odds to win a Masters or something that were just like "no way you give those kinds of odds in golf...

    Write it down...

    Kirk is calculatingly emotional. So, it's rare that I read anything into it. I won't lie and say that I didn't note how a big deal the FS1 coverage made out of Woods and Stephens. To be fair, Woods' boys were hugely responsible for that win and two of his guys eclipsed not insignificant Iowa...

    Write it down...

    You just can't have the guy who was coach for a quarter of a century hanging around in any way with any kind of role beyond symbolic. I suppose, if you could find a way to incorporate him into the hospital in some way? But, they are two completely different entities. Maybe, but I dunno. The...

    Will Iowa ever have a QB that can throw

    Again, having a QB averaging 38.8 rushing yards, much of them being outright designed is a plus. Outliers being 130 against PSU, and 9 and 7 against Wisconsin and Indiana respectively. 39,37,12,55,7,9,130,24,25,32,57 That's his rushing yardages. 124 yards avg passing. So, a combined 162...

    Will Iowa ever have a QB that can throw

    I don't disagree, terribly. He's good because a QB that purposefully gets 30 yards rushing in a game (not exclusively from scrambling on a broken play) is an offense that can get first downs. If you string together enough first downs, you score points. If you score points with some regularity...

    "IF" this is indeed Kirk's swan song, who do you want?

    If Parker wants it, it's his. If he wants a statue, he gets it. Not sure he wants it. We do know that that the only HC job he *might* have taken would have been Iowa. On the other hand, I don't want anyone I have deep admiration for to take the job. Because odds are good, it will change how we...

    16%

    16% of the time Wetjen attempted a punt or kick return, he scored a TD. I don't have a petcentage of how often he returned it for more yards than the nationwide average, and how much more he returned it than the nationwide average....but I'm guessing it's high. Take the ISU game out of the...

    nebraska Game Thread

    Go for it. I write long posts all the time. Difference is mine are just mental diarrhea and have no meaning. A treatise on why Nebraska sucks is worthy. In fact, there should be a whole section at the Library of Congress dedicated to that subject.

    nebraska Game Thread

    Took me awhile. This was about the Nebraska/PSU game. I just thought you started the thread for Friday's game. That's why I posted "Another three and out." I am always glad when Nebraska loses. But I would prefer they were coming in with a false sense of confidence. Because I honestly think...

    Hawkeyes - Spartans (Senior Day) Game Thread

    If Iowa had won 31-17, we'd at least hand out a B to the defense. Maybe even a B+.
