    Bad game day coaching aside....

    Not really happy with Rudock this season so far....offense has stunk and the QB is always the one that gets blamed. LSU fans unhappy enough with Les Miles to not be worried about him leaving for Michigan after the season? I am a bit of closet LSU fan (when they are not playing the...

    Weather for Saturday, October 11 Homecoming game

    Truly unfortunate, but on the bright side...it was a lousy weather last weekend when Iowa was idle...so not that big a deal. But, this second bye will probably be nice weather.....alas. The good news is the lack of wind....Jake should be fine with no strong wind against his long passes.

    Only two big B1G Ten games this weekend

    It happens to be a season with two bye weeks....has nothing to do with divisions. Not sure your point. There are ten Big Ten teams playing each other tomorrow.....what is your point? When did bottom feeders matching up ever matter in this league? I think there are three very interesting...

    Player Rotation - Fran Knows Best

    I think Ellingson is not likely to actually be in the regular rotation, so it is unlikely to exceed ten. I am ok with that, depending on how they play. Fran was not known for having a deep rotation when at Siena, where he maxed out at 8 guys, but I think he has found that he has a roster of...

    Bad game day coaching aside....

    This is full of non-factual info. Greene played at Iowa in 2008 and then left for the NFL. KF got his extension after winning the 2010 Orange Bowl. We have lost rbs over the years...like in 2004, when Drew Tate led Iowa to a Big Ten title. And, anyone that compliments Homer on a post...

    Miller: Will Two QB Thingy Work?

    Agree. Jake gets a shot, but so does CJ. I think it is the best route to settling this quandary. I am feeling somewhat assured by KF's ''significant minutes'' comment last nite, that CJ will also get a fair shot to win this job over the next two weeks. It is hard to know how to root...

    Bad game day coaching aside....

    We had Melvin Gordon committed, but he reneged and went to his home state school...and is probably one of the two best rbs in the country....he would have made a huge diff at Iowa, and we had him...but lost him. Still, that shows me that we do recruit decently. We do not cheat, tho, and that...

    Great Use of a Bye Week

    And of course they beat the defending SEC East champs at their place...and Missouri has a good chance to win the SEC this year....so, yes, they might be able to challenge some Big Ten teams....Big Ten is not that much better than the SEC.

    Clapgate

    Dantonio being Dantonio.....he is always looking for an edge, legal or not. Scumbag.

    Tracking 2015 Class Offers

    We really, really need Williams to become a Hawkeye....he is a beast, and we lack d-tackles in this class.

    An Optimistic View of the Indiana Game

    I will take a one point win in every game the rest of the way. IU's Coleman is a future NFL stud at rb. We need to stop him, and keep Sudfeld under control. Word is that their receiving corp is suspect this year. They unexpectedly lost their jr WR star to the NFL last spring, who did end up...

    New Michigan Coach

    I think Harbaugh will stay in the NFL...maybe Oakland. They like the Bay area. I think Miles is a better guess. He might be ready to get out of LSU ahead of the posse after this season, which could result in 4 losses or more. Evidently there is a feud between Carr and Miles, so who knows?

    Empty seats?

    It was not some empty seats around the edges....it was a sea of empty seats...tens of thousands...and they missed a thrilling finish. Watching the RU-Michigan game....that place was rocking...RU probably has the third best student section behind OSU and PSU. Watched the Oregon- Arizona game at...

    Iowa looks to rectify defensive issues that led to last year’s season-ending skid

    That Wisky game at Carver the Hawks battled back and had a one point lead with 34 seconds to go, when Wisky got it into Kaminsky in the paint and he faked out Gabe and scored the key bucket to put them ahead.....we could have won that game.

    Beathard Rudock Question

    Once CJ ran for that first down, he settled in and played better the rest of the way. I think you have to allow for a first time starter to have a few nerves early.....but after that the dropped passes were the only thing that kept CJ from putting up at least 13 more points....missed fgs...

    Beathard Rudock Question

    I think the coaches see it as close and competitive QB duel, as both have strengths and weaknesses. I just hope that CJ gets a good shot at the job again, and is ready to seize the day. I like Jake, but CJ has the better upside. If our running game was stellar, then I could see sticking with...

    Iowa looks to rectify defensive issues that led to last year’s season-ending skid

    This team does not have the footspeed to go strictly with man to man. But we have to mix and match better. Vs Minny, they just out-ran us...so quick. Same with IU. We are not quick and it is hard to stay in front of quick guys, when you are slow. Eric May made a big diff on defense as he...

    Player Rotation - Get Real Fran

    This season at UK, Calipari is going to go with a platoon system. He has two teams of 5 guys, and he is going to keep them together and play both units half the game, roughly. He is so serious about this that he has hired a bb sabremetician who can help highlight full game numbers of all...

    Michigan would beg to have Rich Rod back

    He fits down at Zona.....did not fit at Michigan. Spread football does not work in the elite programs, as the defense is never good enough to stop the other elite power systems like Bama. It works better in the Pac 12 and Big 12....passing leagues. Just an ill-fit from the git-go for...

    Lost Another One

    Unless we land OG, looks like we will end up banking the schollys for spring....not the end of the world. I am relieved that we did not get Bordreaux.....we did not need another Zach McCabe type of player on this roster right now. Players will be available in the spring....we need to land one...
