Dale Earnhardt Sr. once said "Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good." Oh how true that is.

Both of those categories are controlled by the head coach, so I would say that makes him good at his job. Plus he eats the grass off the field, which is completely irrelevant but completely interesting.

Hayden would have won at least 9 games with this year's schedule and roster. As Jon pointed out, KF isn't the "developer" of talent that he thinks he is. Hayden had a killer instinct against inferior opponents, and this year's schedule was full of inferior opponents.

He's open more than any receiver I can remember over the last decade. Some people in my section at Kinnick call him 24/7.

I don't know anything about offensive line technique or schemes. Absolutely nothing. But I do have eyeballs. Does anyone know why Iowa always seems to have a smaller line than everyone else? Wisconsin's guys are all over 300 pounds. Meanwhile in Iowa City, Weisman was just stopped again for...

First off, you do make valid points. That said, you simply don't know what these coaches might want to do. Perhaps they have ambitions that include being the coach at the school they once played for. No one knows the answer to that but them. Bielema will find that the path the the college...

As I said in my previous post in this thread, I would not be surprised to see a 10% reduction in ticket sales next season with that horrible schedule. Iowa fans at Kinnick have given Kirk the benefit of the doubt the last few years. It appears that will no longer be the case. I've never heard...

Unless the Athletic Department "experts" and blind and stupid, the evidence already exists that attendance is in big, big trouble. The fans have been slowly talking with their wallets since the streak of sold out games came to an end a couple years back. I buy season tickets, and I will...

As fans we deserve better. We really do. I've been buying multiple season tickets and parking passes for over 10 years. Am I a big donor to the U of I? No, but over that 10 years I've spent over $10,000 on those tickets and parking passes. It adds up in a hurry. In past years, I would...

2 of them!

I was at the game. When replay began looking at the roughing the kicker penalty we were really surprised. I sit with a bunch of people who have been around football since it was invented, and no one had heard of replay reviewing a penalty. I was also listening to the radio broadcast and Dolph...

I'm guessing he was still ****** off about that second 2-point conversion attempt. During the first attempt, he had to run halfway out on the field to tell the refs which hash he wanted the ball placed on. He had to do the same thing on the second attempt except they charged Iowa with a...

I believe that the Offense is the biggest concern. Iowa's defense has been really inconsistent, but their worst performances have been on the road: Minnesota, Maryland, Pitt (1st half) At home the defense has been decent (Indiana and UNI games aside). They appear to have cleaned things up...

The entire press conference was focused on Wisconsin. KF knows what is on the line. He's experienced this before. He's the dean of the BIG. Gary Anderson's presser was a pep rally for the Nebraska game. Maybe 1 or 2 Iowa questions. The rest of the time the reporters were just patting...

Kirk's presser was ALL ABOUT Wisconsin. Only 1 or 2 questions that were not directly related to Wisconsin and the Hawk's preparation for them. Big contrast. I know press conferences are just reporters asking questions, but if Wisconsin's players are still congratulating themselves the way the...

Lot of pressure on these young kids without any distractions from their personal life. What they do as D1 football players cannot be easy. I'm not going to judge. DW seems like has has had a lot to deal with in addition to school and football. I would hope that if he is on good terms with...

Maybe it's just me, but that press conference was more like a pep rally. Those guys are still patting themselves on the back for the Nebraska game.

I'd rather sit through 15 degree weather with a snow storm. This is going to be miserable.

Wisconsin's defense is good. Really good. This might be one of those strange games where the Hawks have to throw to set up the run. Iowa is 2nd in the BIG in passing yards for conference games. We have play-makers at receiver. We have two capable QB's. All hands on deck.

Wisconsin's touchdown in the first half by Monte Ball. Announcer said it was his first career touchdown run. Did not know that. He had a decent career. lol
