I know this isn't Hawks related, but if not black and gold, it is at the very least comedy gold! Rico Dowdle tests the 2 pump rule Hingle McCringleberry - 3 pumps

Counterpoint...sometimes we have a special season when things just come together. Could this be it? We are due, it hasn't happened in a decade.

After watching the highlights again, reading Jenson's quotes, thinking a little more...I am not sure both Rodriguez and Deal will be in the starting lineup. It sounds like Rodriguez has been working hard, but has been a bit slow to get acclimated with a defensive and offensive system. Jenson...

Wasn't that Stanzi's senior year?

While distributing the minutes is going to be a major challenge, the versatility is off the charts. We could realistically go out there with Hays, Heiden, Stuelke, Rodriguez, Deal, and try to pound opponents with size (this is far-fetched, but not insane). Even keeping Rodriguez at the 3 and...

McCabe and Feuerbach started, and they are both valuable members of the team, I am glad we have them. But they are not long for the starting lineup. Rodriguez will be the 3, and I think Deal will start in the backcourt alongside Chit-Chat. McCabe's one elite skill is critical for this team, so...

Good move by them...he seems to be more substance than splash, and his team is a much tougher out than they were before he got there.

This does not seem to be an issue with an NFL salary cap, or an NBA luxury tax. You will hear about a team getting caught trying to skirt the rules every now and then, and then having the hammer dropped on them. Honest question: what makes the NCAA "cap" setup less effective/enforceable? Is...

In some order: Graves, Lutmer, Hall?

Just looking briefly at the highlights, it doesn't look like he is a Petras/Stanley statue, nor does he have an arm like those guys. Rather, he made some accurate throws on time (good anticipation), and he also made a lot of really accurate off-platform throws when plays went off-script. He...

I said at 3-2 (after the Indiana loss), all the big goals were likely off the table, and that will allow Iowa to play loose and rack up some fun wins. All of a sudden, it is looking like the anxiety of playoff implications could be rearing its head. I hope Iowa can handle that. The 2015 team...

I have heard some argue that it's "not a football play." I don't know what is more football than a bunch of massive human beings trying to impose their will upon and physically dominate another group of massive human beings.

Everyone please read that article.

Bold prediction...Wetjen will have no more returns for TDs this season, but someone else on the team will: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fLcnQEd2tg

I would take mild offense to this statement, as I had a HS teacher who liked to call me Cliff Clavin for my trove of meaningless trivia. Bbut I agree, I am not in the same league as @Northside Hawk .

Sort of...one of PJ's mentor's wrote a letter to KF, asking if he would consider taking PJ on as a GA. KF replied with a letter stating thanks for the recommendation, we are full with GAs at the moment, but we will certainly keep PJ in mind going forward (KF must spend half his day with...

Pre-Levar Woods (Chris White was the ST coach), Iowa had Special Teams Efficiency Indexes (via BCF Toys) of... 2013: 73rd in the nation 2014: 82nd 2015: 92nd (mind you, that was with Desmond King on the team) Iowa's Special Teams Efficiency Index since Levar Woods took over as ST coordinator...

Related...who was the best OL on that team, Wirfs or Linderbaum? And would you tab one of them as the BEST offensive lineman of the KF era? And how was BF's offense so mediocre with that much talent?

I felt like the Linderbaum/Stanley sneak was automatic from 2 yards and less. I am only comfortable with our current sneak from 0.5 yard or less. I am looking forward to some of our wrinkles off the tush push action.

I saw a few people bitching about jet sweeps in the game thread, but I for one am all for a handful of jet sweep attempts per game. All it takes is a stumble, or sloppy eye discipline, by a defender, and Wetjen could house it. But even more so, a huge part of the running game success over the...
