What others might be seeing in Iowa: PAST SEVERAL YEARS Complete and total mediocrity LAST YEAR --Season ending losses to Wisconsin and Nebraska, at home, (and do you recall the near home loss to Ball State?) --Bowl blowout loss to TN (you wonder why an SEC guy might doubt the Hawks?) THIS YEAR...

1958 was the "once in a lifetime" season for me. As a kid, it was fabulous listening to the Hawks on the radio as they laid legitimate claim to the national title after the 59' Rose Bowl win. What a team, what a year!

This guy would look great in an Iowa uniform and would be an instant upgrade. Iowa NEEDS quality RBs in the worst way (if the Hawks had a quality RB last year, Jake R. would still be in Iowa City). The guy's comments make sense to me ... he doesn't want to be over-used. Fine. I imagine that...

Wait a minute. Only two games ago, Woodbury was playing some of the best BB of his life. Then all this eye poking embarrassment blows up (and before that the tipoff grabbing thing) and he's suddenly not playing with confidence, nor is he being benched by Coach despite weak play. Could the two...

You're joking, right? Sally Mason is the reason Iowa FB and BB aren't achieving great success right now? Puleeze!

Hunter Rawlings? You mean Hunter Rawlings the Princeton graduate, classics scholar, former president of UI and then Cornell in the Ivy League? Hunter Rawlngs the current president of the Association of American Universities? Yeah, he was some "joke" alright. Honestly, the intellect of some...

Ryan might be a smug vulture but he's a winner who recruits top players and builds strong teams.

Purdue game starting to look huge from a team confidence standpoint.

Skorton's appointment to the Smithsonian underscores what a powerful, effective leader he has been and would have been for the University of Iowa, where he spent nearly 30 years as a physician, faculty member, and ultimately, president. After being chased away by Regent forces wishing to knock...

one game at a time.

I have no idea whether Rastetter is some kind of a-hole or not. I'm guessing not but that's not the point. He (and his agri-business buddy, ISU President Leath) is behind the controversial/very bad idea to link in-state enrollment with state support. It might be well-intentioned (giving him the...

Not even her most ardent supporters would claim Sally Mason's presidency has been perfect. But despite a plethora of challenges--including the 2008 floods and the politically motivated attempts by the Board of Regents to knock the UI down a notch or two--she will leave behind a legacy of worthy...

Why do so many people keep including Sally Mason in their list of scapegoats for the state of Iowa football? What evidence is there that she's some kind of obstructionist hell bent on destroying the program? Is she above criticism as a leader? Certainly not. Like most university presidents...

Actually thought Harty's article was spot on. Did you read the last couple of sentences?

It would be fun to see what a creative, offensive minded coach would do with this team. Lots of potential points were left on the field again this year by mystifying coaching strategies that lead to way too many inept possessions.

One more thought: What a difference two fumbles made in this hard-fought game. Weisman's turned out to be a real killer as it cost 3 points. Gordon's was somehow recovered by the bad guys.

Proud of the defense. Great effort. Made a lot of great stops. Kept Iowa in the game. Gave up too many third down and longs but Gordon and Co. deserve full credit here; they just make plays. This loss falls squarely (again) on offensive ineptitude in the first half. Hawkeye players were not...

Well, they bounced back from Maryland so I would expect a bounce back against Illinois. After that ....

Hard to argue with that but mistakes are coming from all over the place.

Back seven has been suspect all year (until last week). Hasn't been lost on Minnesota's coaching staff.
