Love the weather angle ,Jon. I think it will play a huge role this weekend, and could in all these games. I am disappointed to read of your winter forecast. I have heard the NWS saying it will be a normal winter. Last year was not normal. So, can we expect swirling winds at Minny Saturday...

Would love to test this theory this year, but alas, too late. I believe that the acid test this year would have been Iowa....going 13-0 with this schedule and not getting in would have blown this thing up, I think. I am getting increasingly turned off by the whole playoff concept. Iowa...

Thanks for the info. Sounds like that open west end is going to allow that 21mph wind to dictate strategy and hurt the Iowa passing game....while it will not affect the Minny passing game, which is not strong at all. Shapes up to be a Gopher edge...home field, weather friendly for their...

Not good....checked the forecast today and they are now calling for low-30s, with 21 mph winds out of the NW. Anyone know if they had the good sense to block the North wind with stands or buildings? Just our luck to have the nastiest weather for any game in the league this year up in...

Not likely to happen but it could happen. SEC West beat each other up... LSU over Bama Bama over Auburn Georgia over Auburn MSU over Ole Miss. MSU rolls to the SEC West Title, and takes one playoff slot after winning the SEC Florida St. loses to Florida and the ACC gets nothing. Pac 12 has...

The weather is going to be big in this game.....31 degrees with winds of 21mph out of the NW. When we win the coin toss, I hope that KF goes against his normal plan and defers to take ball in second half...Minny takes ball, and Iowa takes 1st qtr wind....we shut down their running attack, they...

Get up early, and make them play catch-up. They are not a good catchup offense.

Agree that crunch time is here, and the Hawks are in the thick of it. If Iowa somehow won the divison, and then upset MSU/OSU, they probably get the Fiesta or Orange Bowl... would be very very happy with that outcome, but I have a nagging feeling that now, even winning the league leaves some...

So true. We just never seemed to knock down the big shots, often open shots, in tight games the last couple of years. Meanwhile, we had guys from Illini, NW, IU, Minny, Wis.,MSU etc...all make big shots late in those games....worm must turn this year.

As I said, for his critics, 9 wins is like 6 wins...which is not acceptable...so, 11 wins is like 8 which is not really good enough either....so lets say it...KF had to go 12-0 to keep the critics at bay. Anything less, and these types of posts flourish. I look at how Kentucky just extended...

Is Iowa about the only team around that gets way more injured during the bye week? Pretty amazing that we once again have gone from like ten deep at rb in the spring to now...3 deep, with two frosh and a fullback as our guys.....wow. Just bad luck....but maybe Wadley and Parker will pop some...

KF was set up to fail with this schedule....he had to go perfect to satisfy his critics...otherwise, he is a failure again.

Insincere? Right. Jon opined that a program that generates revenues like Iowa's should win more....right? He is not saying that using that cash to buy out KF will make KF win more, right? So, the buyout is not part of Jon's calculation. He must feel that the excess cash can be used in...

Correct. It is not unlike right wing talk radio....stir the pot, get the listeners riled up, and cash in ....Deace knows that game well.

I agree. Seems like there are seams in the line for the rbs to hit, but they are not in there quick enough....nothing against Weisman, but having him as a primary back, then a quicker guy slotting in like Canzeri....wonder if the difference in quickness messes with the rythmn of the line/rbs....

I love everything about this recruit. Mature, smart, and a great runner. Reminds me of another florida prep, James White....of Wisky in college.

From your keyboard to Gods lips....please let him be like Freddie!

What is the attraction of Long, then? I am not knocking him, just not sure why he is so valued? I assumed that it was Bert that was part of the attractiveness of that move?

Iowa's high football revenues are often cited as a reason that the program should be better.....now, of course Texas is #1 in revenues and they seem to be struggling lately, so the correlation can be there or not. But seriously, with a big chunk of that cash being invested in the new football...

Maybe more like ''Any Given Sunday''? KF is Al Pacino...coach under fire all season, pulling out late season wins, and saving the season by playing the young untested QB (Jamie Fox as CJ Beathard) , and then telling the bosses to go make love to themselves and taking another job with a new...
