    Pavia

    Disagree, Pavia ups the memorability of that photo an order of magnitude. Forty years down the road, their grandson is going to see that photo, and they are going to be able to regale him with stories about what it was like hanging with that dude for an evening.

    Logan Jones

    I kind of thought Graves might have been converted into a LT early on. He seemed to work out pretty good at DT, though.

    Pavia

    That is a pretty good argument, and you surprised me with a lot of that info.

    Sounds like Riola is Headed to the Portal....

    He was probably devastated by VB's upset loss, and he cannot bear to stay in a place that brings back such haunting memories. I would move on, if I were Nebbie. In this era of pay for play, I don't think you can tie up too much in one player unless he is an unquestioned difference maker. What...

    Thoughts on Iowa vs. ISU

    It was worse than that, as I remember it (I could be wrong here). I think ISU had just scored, so we should have been going the other way with a 5 on 4 because Crooks tripped over her own feet and was down. To shut down a potential scoring opportunity because she tripped was really weird...

    Pavia

    Agreed. He has put a huge target on his back, and if he can win in a bowl, it will be pretty badass. But that sword cuts both ways, and there are probably a bunch of Iowa defenders who are motivated to put a little extra stank on those hits in the game, and there will be millions of CFB fans...

    Moore Gone at Michigan....

    And I wonder how many super high-achieving people are ultimately kind of messed up in the head, oriented toward obsessiveness, thrill-seeking, control, etc. I listened to a podcast this week with a journalist who has produced some recent pieces on RFK, Jr. It is from the Pod Save America...

    Thoughts on Iowa vs. ISU

    I think I know the one you were talking about. McCabe also got jabbed in the eye in the 1st half (knocked her contact lens out) with no call. Overall, pretty well officiated game. The refs didn't get in the way, but they also kept the game under control. Missed a few, as always, but didn't seem...

    Clones favored by 10.5.

    If they keep it under 10, my belief in this team moving forward grows immensely.

    Reliaquest Bowl

    Agreed...I am curious to see if the next QB in-line can more effectively run slow-mesh and RPO stuff, though. That has not been Gronowski's strength, and potentially next year it could be an important part of what we do if we have the right QB. Let's get up by 4 TDs so Hecklinski can practice...

    Thoughts on Iowa vs. ISU

    Iowa State is legit. Crooks is almost like a cheat-code on the offensive end, Brown is really good, and they defended their asses off. Both teams left a ton of points on the FT line. I don't know if this is a regular thing for ISU, but FT shooting is a legit weakness for this Hawkeye team...

    Reliaquest Bowl

    The bowl would be a good time to bust this out: https://youtu.be/HPfrrbrPREE?si=z7ahLc2vHBT-d4N2

    Reliaquest Bowl

    Maybe we go with the D scheme we used vs. Indiana? In that game we blitzed above 50% of the downs on D, and it was definitely effective. It did burn us on the game-winning TD throw, but on balance, that was our best way to defend that offense.

    Reliaquest Bowl

    Nwankpa has lit a few people up this year, as has Sharrar. If Pavia is going to pay for taking off and scrambling, those are probably the 2 mostly likely to collect.

    Fry's Forecast Fizzled: KF Confirms He Will Be Back in '26.

    I am going to guess Lea from Vanderbilt, and I will promote him as the external front-runner for when KF hangs it up. Young (just turned 44 years), has some connections to the midwest (DC at Notre Dame, asst coach at South Dakota St., Bowling Green), was at Wake Forrest the same time as our...

    Notre Dame tantrum

    The senior bowl, but for anyone, and I say mandate player-coaching.

    Notre Dame tantrum

    I would like to see an anonymous poll of college football players whose teams are not bound for the CFP. One question: Would you rather practice an additional month and then travel and play an exhibition game over the holidays, or no? Some of the argument being put forth is that eliminating...

    Notre Dame tantrum

    I wrote this is another thread, but to summarize...everyone here loves watching the Hawks play another football game. Some of us here find all of the non-Hawk bowls uncompelling. And as football fans, it is irksome that those in charge of such an inherently compelling product cannot figure out a...

    2025 Iowa OL finish tape

    I bet you could make a good one with Iowa RBs and WRs blocking, as well.
