As the eternal optimist, I am not giving up on sweeping them. The forecast for Champaign is not bad, in terms of wind....10 mph...38 degrees. That can work even with Jake at the helm, but CJ better get a chance. Lunt could also go off tho, so this will probably be close. Wisky? Could be a...

I get that fans are mad, I am also. Still, since when did Pitt become a bad opponent? As has been pointed out, the schedule is made up over a decade ago, and Pitt has been good over the years. Purdue? Well, they seem to be a program on the rise to me, after pushing Minny to a 39-38 close...

Not true. You ever call in? I have...they do not screen the calls. I listened last nite and one caller from Sioux City asked KF why he did not put in CJ in for the second half vs Minny....not exactly a ''love ya KF call''.... I was not happy with KF's response....which was along the lines...

I like that we broke thru in Chicago, and Wagner looks like a stud athlete. According to 247, Iowa has the 11th rated class in the Big Ten....so I am not going to pretend that this class meets my expectations for this year. Just like last year, we missed on many main targets but I give Fran...

Hutton and Wagner do not seem to be shooters, from what I can tell. The other two can shoot it. Two defenders and two shooters. If Hutton and Wagner were finished products they probably get ranked much higher. Fleming and Moss better be able to score, because we will need it after we lose our...

Pitt and ISU still give us two Power 5 opponents, which is as many or more than most Big Ten schools. On that list only NW has two power 5 opponents. I do not begrudge anyone bailing, as life does intervene. Maybe a slight dip in attendance will prove to be a wakeup call for Barta and co.

The recent NYTimes article that ranked states college football love and Iowa was behind only Alabama, Nebraska, and Oklahoma.....#4 in college football fan love.....so no wonder when the teams are bad, there is much gnashing of the teeth.

IF KF is playing possum ( and I doubt it) he has the rest of the league set up big time.....someday, he might surprise the opponents by going exotic....and playing his best QB and RB.

So you are saying that Barta will have to fire KF if he only goes 2-1 the rest of the regular season to finish at 8-4? I do not agree. The key will be beating the Illini and one of the other two. I think we wlll do it.

Also a go-to place for ********, I see.

I believe that we actually led the Big Ten in passing going into the game last week. We did not have a single pass go beyond 5 yards past the line of scrimmage after the interception, until Jake came out of the game. That is not on the WRs. I agree that our simple game plan of handing it...

Glad that you take such pleasure along with Husker fans at ridiculing our coach. You are a special true-black and gold Hawkeye fan, who joins in with Huskers happily....will you be rooting for the Huskers on Black Friday? Of course.

Thanks for the link....actually not a fan of Forde, but that was a good column. He has an outside perspective, and is relatively objective. His comments on KF and Stoops make sense. We could fire KF and never get a coach who does as well. If we win out and make a good bowl, maybe KF will...

Solid answer by Barta. We have not been hammered like that in any games in the last decade. I know fans are down on KF, but we usually hang tough, even in losses. This was an exception. Not much he can say to satisfy the angry mob right now...

Way to de-rail a thread for the vets. Thanks to my Dad ,my son, and my nephew who all served. Have a happy day!

Gruden said last nite on MNF that the read-option is strictly a college scheme....as he criticized the Panthers for running it with Newton too much which is going to shorten his career. As Gruden said, in the NFL, QBs make way too much money to put them at risk and they will get hurt. Now, in...

Here in Chicago, Trestman is getting scorched for his presser. They have labeled him as out of touch, and delusional. He said '' the locker room is strong...it is good right now'' and that is getting total derision in this town. KF's first comment after the game Saturday, was that we got...

Louie next? Way to go , Big Carl!

That what Minny thought about the Illini....and got rolled. ....and Iowa got hammered by Minny, and yet we will roll the Illini? No logic in that. The Illini are 5 pt dogs, and I would just pray Iowa can win by one.

I was concerned. I saw Iowa fans saying that Minny could not pass a lick, but they had 400 yards passing total the prior two games, with an average of around 15yrds/reception...so I know that Leidner was getting into a rythmn with deep passing. I had Iowa by 4. Well, I was way wrong. Minny...
