    CTE Facts and Fiction

    I am old enough to remember, and I am fairly certain no one ever said eggs were more dangerous than cigarettes. If you think they did, I would ask that you prove it to me. I think your statement is an over exaggeration for effect, either intentionally or mistakenly.

    What is with Campbell's refusal to say Iowa?

    Why do you even care? This is such a non-story that it isn't even funny. He is acting in a manner that will satisfy his fan base. So what?

    By the rules - right call on Wadley

    My brother refs in a conference just below the power five. He has done Big Ten and bowl games in the past. I believe he said if it was one stride it would not be called but if it were three it would be called. I asked about two strides and he hedged and didn't really have a definitive answer. I...

    Fleck talks National Championship

    You are an idiot, and I don't call people names or call them out easily or without reason. The idiot up north has three games under his belt at a major school and you sing his praises. Our coach has been national coach of the year more than once, won multiple Big Ten championships, he has been...

    What does everyone think of the offensive play calling this year?.

    Why were they going to have to change things up if Greg Davis came back? You could've said that after any season Davis completed at Iowa, but they never changed. And you do realize KOK would not have been brought in if Davis was still there, don't you?

    So what genius on our staff.....

    This. Anyone now complaining that we had him and let him go is probably not that astute of a football person. He had future NFL QBs in front of him at both places. And he has a good start to this season. Whoopee. He wasn't as good as what we had when he was at Iowa so why were they idiots...

    What does everyone think of the offensive play calling this year?.

    Thoughts? Based upon the experience of the QB, WRs and TEs coming into his season, I give him at least a B+ right now. At first I thought it was a little high, but after thinking about it further, I don't think so. All of the above inexperience and a first-year offensive coordinator has this...

    If I live outside of Iowa...

    ... how do I watch the Kirk Ferentz Show? Do I have to pay something to the Big Ten Network to get BTN2Go?

    Will the ISU game be replayed?

    If anyone can answer this and let me know when, it would be much appreciated by my uncle, who couldn't watch it live. He is an 89 year old Iowa alum and evidently is so active he missed the game Saturday.

    Wyoming QB Quotes

    Boise State was #13 when they played them and Wyoming won. That was the best team they faced last year. That being said, they lost six games last year AND all of the skill position players and OL that they lost. I am concerned, but not shaking in my boots. That is the way I felt when we went...

    Marshall Koehn

    I could be mistaken, but that 58-yard kick had a lot of funny movement on it. If you look at the replay closely, doesn't it look like the defensive lineman could've possibly tipped that ball? That would explain the funny motion on the ball as it traveled through the air. I thought the same...

    You can thank me later

    The neighborhood I live in that is in the KC metro area had 33 seconds of total eclipse. The area of town I work in was not in the full eclipse zone. So I traveled 20 minutes from the office back to my neighborhood. The sun, several minutes before the zero hour, was completely obscured by the...

    Kirk & Brian Comments on QB Competition

    Wouldn't McGwire have been a three-year starter to Hartlieb being a two-year starter? Or am I mistaken on that. As that year showed us, it isn't always clear cut at the outset and that doesn't force a coach to go with the younger guy. Of course, that is based upon my memory of that situation...

    Riley McCarron

    I will be interested to see how this plays out. Every year in the Kansas City Chiefs training camp, regardless of the head coach, there is a player that always gets talked about and there's always a lot of buzz from the coaches, and he was never on the radar before camp. Then training camp...

    Howe: Ken O'Keefe has Developed Skin Tougher than Leather

    I guess there were people who were hopeful when KOK left and Davis arrived. But if any Iowa fan knew a halfway informed Longhorn fan, they had to know we were in for a lot of passes that were near the line of scrimmage and probably a lot of frustration from the fans. That is what they had been...

    Newsflash to those worried about Fran running someone out...

    You aren't running someone off if they have been on scholarship for four years. In the even Ellingson isn't around after next season, saying he might have been run is not really accurate. He would have been on scholarship for four full seasons. You aren't required to keep someone around for...

    Redshirt Eligible for 2017-18

    There are, relatively speaking, quite a few guys that have that type of athletic ability and size in all of D1. Yet, only four players averaged over three blocks a game last year. Saying there is "no way he shouldn't average 3-4 blocks a game" seems a little bit of a high standard that isn't...
