    What if, in 1979, ISU had hired Hayden Fry instead of Iowa?

    He never would've gone to Iowa State. One reason he was impressed with Iowa was the fact that we had sold out our football games for like 20 years, even though we never had a winning record in any of those years. He was very impressed with her for years. We already had a great stadium at that...

    C.J. Beathard Impressing at 49ers Camp

    Are you kidding? Look at his stats. Cousins is a very proven commodity while CJ has proven nothing in the NFL. So, for starters, there is that. Just look at his numbers and tell me who are seven better QBs than him right now. There might not be five better, actually. He is pretty darn good...

    You got me. I hate typing responses from my iPad and forgetting to check them.

    There would also be a scholarship available for Jason Bohannon would switch to football. Of course, neither will happen.

    99% have CTE. Football will be gone in 10 years. I'm serious.

    There is a lot of this thread to respond to. One thing that sticks out to me is people thinking there might be some sort of way to slow down or stop or reverse CTE. You are talking about problems that are a result of getting crushed, not some internal disease that can be reversed by putting...

    Is enthusiasm for Iowa Football low on this board?

    Is it just me? It seems like there should be more anticipation for the upcoming season by posters on this board? I am fairly excited and I know others who are as well. But there really doesn't seem to be much in the terms new posts on this board talking about the upcoming season. Thoughts? Am I...

    the old scout forum

    I am betting that if I saw your last five posts I could figure out in less than ten seconds why you were banned. I'm just saying...

    Thad Matta

    Look at his recent record. He had health issues, but some schools just don't wait around for things to change if they are going south. Iowa is not one of those, though they did pull the trigger on TD, obviously, back in the day. However, one could argue they waited on him, and that was certainly...

    Maishe Dailey Tweet

    While I don't doubt that things like this happen as they were described in the tweet, the tweet is not necessarily fact and he isn't under oath to tell the truth in the tweet. Yes, there may very well be a legitimate reason for what happened, if it did happen that way. But that police department...

    Thad Matta

    What makes you think that the media was responsible for putting him on the hot seat? You don't think his record did that in the eyes of his athletic director? Do you think the athletic director figures he has to make a move because everyone else says he has to make a move? You don't think all...

    Dantonio wanted MSU like Iowa

    Yes, I remember how close KF came to being canned. Not close at all. If you think something different you just don't really understand what happened.

    Joe Wieskamp Donates Gatorade POY Money to YMCA

    That makes a little more sense. Thanks.

    Joe Wieskamp Donates Gatorade POY Money to YMCA

    I never would have thought there was a financial award with that honor. That seems strange to me that a high school athlete wins an award and gets money with it.

    Should Head Coaches Decide Who takes their place once retired?

    You are right re Solich. But they made him keep the Osborne coaching stafff in place, or at least most of it. And then they fired him when he didn't win the national championship game and his recruiting fell off. A friend of mine that is a big Nebraska fan said they weren't recruiting for...

    Appeal

    You and I agree. You said Iowa is guilty, regardless of intent.

    Appeal

    It just might also be that there is no winning this because the University is guilty of it. It's kind of funny how idea doesn't seem to dawn on a lot of people here.

    Juror in court case

    I have sat on a jury in the past. I am as big of an Iowa fan as anyone on this board. Actually, I don't know how anyone could be a bigger hawkeye fan. I feel quite confident that I could sit on a case re ISU and be as neutral as anyone that was not a sports fan or Iowa or ISU fan. The fact that...

    Schwartz's Ridiculous Article

    Maybe you should wake up. It doesn't appear the Iowa Athletic Department has been operating in a world of political correctness. If it had, then they wouldn't have just lost the first of two court cases, to say the least. People who are underperforming enough to get let go typically have a paper...

    Christine Grant's View of the Meyer Case

    It was a unanimous verdict, wasn't it? I would think that would squelch this kind of discussion. But as some on this thread pointed out, perhaps there is bias when we talk about these things, based upon your school.

    Schwartz's Ridiculous Article

    If she was so bad at her job then why was it documented in court that all of her reviews were great...until after the coach in question was fired?
