    Iowa Women outscore Men

    The Hawkeye women have really overcome alot this year, and have been more fun to watch than the men.

    Hire Bruce Pearl- Imagine the BUMP

    I love the idea of Bruce Pearl as the Iowa head coach! Sadly, I think I have a better chance of winning the powerball that seeing Bruce as the head Hawk. But what the hell, if your going to dream...dream big I always say!

    Miller: Rutgers with Strong Hand; Make Way for Nebraska & Mizzou?

    This is a great read and I agree with it entirely!

    Miller: Rutgers with Strong Hand; Make Way for Nebraska & Mizzou?

    Rutgers as a lone option is still a fail in my book. However, as part of a 3 team deal which would include Nebby and Mizzou...I could get excited about that! It would also allow the conference to keep the name Big 10, as it would be in reference to the number of states that member schools reside...

    #### attention jon miller ####

    Irish I have been watching you watch Jon. Oh wow, I wonder who's watching me watch you watching Jon? Now I'm really paranoid. Is this a Geico commercial?

    Tribune's Case for Rutgers

    John, I think you are missing the point. Even by the Tribunes article the New York TV audience only cares about Rutgers when they win. So while being in the Big 10 definitely benefits Rutgers, it would only mean a short term gain in TV viewership for the conference. However, once the novelty...

    Tribune's Case for Rutgers

    It is a money thing, and football just happens to be the avenue through which they have to travel to make that money. The conference is not looking to expand to improve academics, and while New Jersey is a large tv market, there is no fizzle or rich football tradition with Rutgers. Unlike in 93...

    Tribune's Case for Rutgers

    I could not be less excited about a team than I am about Rutgers. Unless they are part of a three team deal giving the conference 14 teams, but if Rutgers is the best the Big 10 can come up with then it is a fail.

    Gator Bowl Sucks

    I don't mind the Gator bowl, but I think it was a mistake to get rid of the Alamo. I would rather the Big 10 get rid of the Insight. Why have a bowl tie in that most people will not see?

    Stanzi

    While Stanzi's stats this last year were not what everyone had hoped for, Ricky brings alot of intagibles to the table, and he is the clear leader of this offense. He is not always great, but he has been great when he had to be, and he has been money under pressure. He hasn't gotten rattled...

    Lick supporters-Was this the game?

    Fact: People vote with their pocketbooks. If attendance was poor and we were winning, or even being competetive, then I say shame on the fans. But what incentive is there for any changes to be made (coaching or otherwise ) if there are no financial reprocussions? In this economy people are...

    Anthony Hitchens Commits

    I really like the looks of this kid. Looks like another jewel in the rough. IMO he will be a good one at SS. I see alot of pick sixes in this young mans future. I like the fact that Iowa was his first choice and he waited, hoping something would open up and it did. I also like the fact that his...

    Vikings @ Saints game thread

    As for me I am Laughing my A$$ off!!!! I HATE the Vikings and Farve! He is the NFL version of Tebow. It makes me sick to listen to the media fawn all over this guy. He was a "cash for clunkers quarterback" and he choked when the chips were down and his team needed him the most! Just like his...

    OT: Kiffin To USC

    Wow, and I thought Rich Rod was a scumbag for what he did to WV. This makes RR look like a choir boy. Now I have an even bigger reason to hate USC!

    Seantrel Henderson to announce on Feb 3

    Hard to say what's in a kids head, but I don't see him going through all the hoopla to announce that he's coming to Iowa. Probably OSU or Florida.

    Thinking of Roses for 2010 Season? Not so fast...

    Exactly! We took them to overtime at the Shoe with a Freshman QB... I don't think they beat us next year.

    What is the definition of a true fan?

    IMO, a "true fan" is someone who continues to support the team win or lose.

    Lickliter

    It's year 3 of the Lick era and we are seeing no improvement. I am all for being patient but we are not even moving in the right direction. I don't expect Big 10 titles and final four appearances every year, but I don't expect to be the conference doormat either. Licks "system" appears to be...
