That National Duals tourney was a beast -- four #1 ranked guys got beat. And it could have been worse -- Nebraska won exactly 1 match vs Ohio St.

Watched the game. Stuelke seemed like she was just going through the motions, not taking the game seriously -- definitely was not dialed in. Heiden had a weird game: missed multiple layups, fell down backwards twice while trying to post up which led to 2 TOs...she was putting out the effort...

Yeah, the finals matchup with Ohio St was sobering, for sure. Altho I'm reminded of the old adage 'It's probably not as bad or as good as it seemed.' Iowa DID win 4 of the 9 contested matches, and at the end of a tough weekend of wrestling they still walk away with 4 guys ranked in the Top 3 in...

I'll toss in Pitt-Georgia Tech.

This is a factual post. It's utterly bizarre to see Gron repeatedly, in game 10 of the season, still throwing the ball at receivers' feet on simple screen passes, or throwing it in the dirt 2 yds in front of a WR who's open 15 yds down the field. Repeatedly. And the most striking thing about...

Watched it for the first time yesterday...appreciate the rec. Knowledgeable football guys, for sure. Good stuff, and I especially appreciated the USC preview. My overall take of their Oregon postgame analysis is they saw the same things I did: * Iowa couldn't stop their running game with 4...

I think Stremlow will split time with Feurerbach. F better defensively, Stremlow probably better shooting 3s. You're correct, Chit Chat did get lost on D a few times last night -- have to assume she's got the skill to up that part of her game. What stands out to me about Rodriquez is that she...

Having a point guard who is quick and can penetrate and dish within the system is great. Having a PG who can also nail 3s with consistency, as Chit Chat has been doing, is special. Heiden will continue to dominate as long as she learns how not to foul when out of position, and until she runs up...

Whatever is fine with me.

No...altho I think he mentioned all of Lester's attempts have been passes. I can't imagine a roster better suited for 2-pt conversions than Iowa's current offensive team: an outstanding OLine, a power running QB, two 6'5" WRs they can put on the field at the same time, a couple strong RBs, and a...

I'm sure y'all are tired of me bitching about Iowa handling 2-pt conversions like nuclear waste, so I will share the following info and then never speak of them again. Chad L. posted an article today about the issue, with some facts. Over the last 9 seasons, Iowa is 4 for 21 in 2-pt...

I'll throw in the Georgia-Texas game. How would I go about 'messaging' you my picks? Obviously I'm not a very techy guy!

Well, you certainly couldn't spy the QB, and it wouldn't have had to be done on every play, but Lanning is smart enough to know -- and his OLinemen are good enough -- that 5 vs 4 is a mismatch. And continuing to allow that mismatch and not changing things up is well....choose your adjective...

Exactly. All the comments on this thread reek of revisionist history. Holy crap, folks, under Fran Iowa had one of the top scoring offenses AND most efficient offenses in the nation -- year in and year out. You don't achieve those rankings without being somewhat 'athletic'. Get a grip. Now...

No doubt, there's a little 'pick your poison' involved. But listen to Lanning's postgame press conference: he said it was clear after their 1st possession they were going to have trouble throwing the ball the way they wanted. Oregon this year is a run-first team anyway, and when they...

I'm OK either way. You all decide and I'm IN!

If you have to point to one thing, it was Parker refusing to put a 5th Hawk at the LOS to stop the Duck run game! After surrendering over 140 yds on the ground in the 1st half, and it was clear after the first series that Oregon's strategy for the entire game was 'run the ball', I thought for...

Point 1: After the Penn St. game I said the top priority for Iowa coaches the following week should be designing 3-4 successful 2-pt conversion plays utilizing the current offensive players. With a power running QB, multiple good RBs, two 6'5" WRs, and a slot burner -- there is absolutely NO...

I have no idea, but it sure will be interesting to watch over the next few years, and you can bet they'll have their own personal rivalry. Interesting to see Iowa was picked to finish 9th in the BTen by the preseason media, and the Hoosiers 10th.

Really appreciate this post!
