Prediction: Iowa cuts the lead to under 10 before game's end ... only to lose by 15 or more.

Wouldn't surprise me to see the Hawks get back in this game with a much better second half. Guess we'll find out soon!

Two field goals by Iowa's starters in the last 10.5 minutes. Two.

What a shame the Hawks couldn't pull this one out but they looked better tonight and the season's not over. Keep the faith!

Great comeback yet another weak finish offensively. Why Sapp was put in that position a bit strange ... 3 pointers not his strength. Yet Jok can hit those and missed so they got their chances at the end and just couldn't quite do it. Very unfortunate but season's not over. Gotta keep playin'.

Hard as it is to admit, MSU is easily the better team right now and likely will be heading forward. Valentine is a premier player and better than anyone on Iowa's roster. Certainly don't want to see a rematch. In fact, I'm not sure Iowa is a first division B1G team right now given the...

Gesell not the problem but would be more popular if he could score more points. Utoff foul problems and extended bench time kept him out of the flow while Jok can't be expected to be the only offensive scoring threat with JU on the bench. Bench play not reliable and that's a growing concern...

Gesell had three assists and four steals, pretty good stats as far as they go. He is not the problem but maybe not the solution at crunch time, either. Would be nice if he could he a few more shots, for sure. Equally concerning is the fact that bench play has nearly disappeared of late but not...

Apologies to Messenger for some of the nasty remarks made by Iowa fans in response to his original post. I can only surmise my fellow Hawkeyes are still butthurt over the curb stomping Stanford administered in the Rose Bowl.

Messenger:Thanks for sharing. Any idea why Stanford didn't offer? Did they sign either of those two other guys instead?

Great idea if you've got an extra scholie in your back pocket.

No easy games left. Period.

Could still be the end result (Nebby).

How 'bout the Hawks win a bowl game once before even thinking they might be playoff worthy? Nothing but a string of embarrassments the past four years.

If I'm not mistaken, Davis was taken aback by the lack of skilled receivers when he took over as OC. Looks like they've been trying to rectify that shortcoming ever since. We'll see next season how far they've come (or not).

Two home state recruits who could have really helped--Pierschbacher and Darboh--were significant misses for the program.

So far as the RB loss goes, it would be easier to dismiss as "one of those things" if the previous three bowl games hadn't ended similarly. Being outscored 98-0 in first quarter (combined) is a MAJOR concern that probably won't be fixed by simply re-arranging the deck chairs.

The Hawks will be decent again next year but certainly not elite unless something unexpected happens. Going into this year, a big question in my mind was, "Where are the playmakers (especially on offense)?" The same question applies to next year, maybe even more so. Most of us would probably...

Not a "dirty little secret" at all. Beathard can actually throw (and nail) a deep shot. Not knocking Rudock but they are two different QBs with different skill sets and different circumstances. Rudock had great receivers, Beathard did not. Yet how many wins did Michigan achieve this year...

Good grief. I love Iowa as much as the next person but some of these hyper defensive comments only underscore the humor behind the Stanford band's depiction of Iowa (I personally thought it was very funny, BTW). Like it or not, Iowa DOES lack the geographic diversity and cultural opportunities...
