    Maye Fran's Kids shouldn't Play for him

    So you don’t think we’re gonna get any better? Did it ever cross your mind that this is a blip on the radar screen. So you don’t think we’re gonna get any better? Did it ever cross your mind that this is a blip on the radar screen? This team has talent and is going to get more talent over the...

    Maye Fran's Kids shouldn't Play for him

    What do you mean we will know a lot more by this time next year? Do you honestly think something is going to change between now and then? The kid is going to Iowa and you’re delusional if you think otherwise.

    How triggered will Iowa fans be when Nebraska's new coach humiliates us every year?

    I think that when you have a team that was good enough to play in the conference championship game three seasons ago, the coach has shown he is still capable of getting the team to play at a top ten level. We were young last year and show a lot of promise. With all of that, anyone that says they...

    Kirk Ferentz Believes Hawkeye Offense Will Make Strides in '18

    It is kind of funny isn’t it. You were trying to find a reason to rip Kirk, and you felt like probably everyone would chime in and pile on. Instead, your criticism was stupid and you’re getting dogged horribly. How funny. There are plenty of legitimate reasons to criticize him. You just picked...

    After Desmond King's Draft Debacle...

    To whom is king accountable? Himself and his family, or the opinion of his friends and teammates? It really doesn’t matter what his friends think. It matters what he thinks. If it was important for him to get his degree in four years, or if you wanted to enjoy being on campus for another year...

    The pink locker rooms strike again...

    An interesting story on CNN.com about college football traditions that are not well known. See the mention of Iowa’s pink locker rooms at the bottom of the article. http://www.cnn.com/2017/11/03/us/tailgating-bizarre-college-football-traditions/index.html

    Five Hawkeyes Ready to Take Next Step in 2018

    I would take exception with one thing you wrote, Rob. Re Epenesa, if he is as good as everyone is saying, he will get all the reps and the rotation will be at the other end and just on a rare occasion or two on his side. If someone is THAT good, they don’t split time even remotely equally with...

    Oliver Martin...

    Right. Turning the San Diego program around and going 11-1 twice there and then 11-1 at Stanford and going to the Super Bowl along with three NFC Championship Games in four seasons, none of that mattered. Having a couple of good players is what made a difference in perception only, not reality...

    Did they only give Moss two points on that three pointer he hit...

    ...in the Colorado game? The replay showed it to be a three point basket but they only gave him two and they never corrected back to three, correct? Maybe this was addressed in some write up somewhere, but if it was then I missed it. Thanks in advance for the the help on this.

    Toks Akinribade injury?

    HIPAA only applies if the person doesn’t want to talk about it. If they do, then the U could have done what you just described. Schools do that all the time.

    Toks Akinribade injury?

    Just t be clear, I don’t have a problem with the media breaking news. But a friend wishing someone well in a public forum when the problem has not become known strikes me as strange and more like being about the poster instead of wishing someone well, which can be done through a phone call or...

    Toks Akinribade injury?

    I am pretty tech savvy but I am amazed that someone feels the need to tweet something like this out there. Why does that comment from that person (a former player in this case) even need to be made in the public arena, first off? Doesn’t it just serve to draw attention to the person commenting...

    OSU out due to loss to Iowa

    What is your point? Didn’t OU beat OSU in Columbus? Didn’t OU have one loss and OSU had two, with one being to OU? Other than their game against each other, didn’t they both lose to 7-5 teams from the state of Iowa? Are you trying to say OSU should have been put into the CFP instead of OU? Or...

    10-14 football coach gets $22.5 Million!

    He improved on the backs of the players from the previous coach. The school gave him an extension and raise after showing immediate success. Both of those sound like Hayden Fry at Iowa. What points to the pattern continuing? They gave him a great extension right away after success on the field...

    10-14 football coach gets $22.5 Million!

    I find it humorous how someone feels the need to call out another school for extending the contract of a really good coach. It is obviously a smart move. Have you watched their team play this year? He is a damn good coach. I think most knowledgeable people would say it was the right move by them...

    unhappy with this season ? whine here

    This is the most frustrating year you can recall? I guess you weren’t around for Chuck Hartlieb’s senior season when we had three ties. We had so much coming back that year, and such a high ceiling. And then we had three ties. Enough said.

    Snyder, Hooker, and the two tackles

    I completely agree with you regarding Hooker. However we would be best off if hooker and Snyder where are starting safeties. The fact that Snyder hasn’t played much at all this year means that this team is down one of the top two safeties. And if neither Snyder nor Hooker is playing, then we...

    Snyder, Hooker, and the two tackles

    I would respectfully disagree with your statement regarding Snyder.

    Thank you Jon

    So if we win this week we are 7-5. If that were to happen, how disappointed would you be? Surely it crossed your mind that an 8-4 season could just as easily be a 7-5 season with a bad break? So if that were to happen, how wrong would you have been? Would you have been REALLY wrong or BARELY wrong?
