Well, that might be the game hes playing, but i could care less what he really is or isn't.

Its becoming more apparent every year that Paul Chryst was the reason for Bielemas success at UW. I'll pass on BB coaching at Iowa.

To add to your point, Frost is kind of like Harbaugh at Michigan (or I suppose Bob Stoops if he would have coached at Iowa). Its kind of an all or nothing deal. If he fails, who are they going to hire they the fans will suppport?

Juan Harris did it three times.

Well, at least it wasn't a conference foe.

Keep in mind that Smith and Smith-Marsette were true freshman last year. Guys like DJK, McNutt, Hinkel, T. Smith didn't set the world on fire as freshman either.

Demarius Thomas?

GT didn't have Calvin Johnson at time, but you might be thinking of another guy ( can't think of his name) who was highly drafted and had a nice NFL career with the broncos. Iowa held him in check in that game. Always kills me when people downplay Iowa's win in that game saying GT's offense was...

You mean everyone except Illinois, Nebraska and Minnesota.

How long before Harris announces he's returning to Indiana?

Good points. I would also add that 10,000 empty seats in Kinnick doesn't impress recruits that are in for a visit.

Eddie Podalak said a number of times during the year that Nieman was underrated and would play on sundays.

It would seem to me that if a coach WASN'T playing the players that gave his team the best chance to succeed, he'd lose the respect of his team pretty quickly. Even during Iowa's disappointing seasons, I've never had the feeling that KF was losing his team. If you want an example of what I'm...

Does anyone else see the irony that Parker Hesse started as a sophomore? (Actually, he started as a freshman,I think, but that was only because Drew Ott got hurt.) I can't think of the names off the top of my head, but I'm sure there had to be some upper classmen on the roster who were behind...

IMO, KF isn't a HOF coach, at least not yet. However, I'd put him in the HOF before a guy like Pete Carrol who had a much better winning %. Carrol got USC in trouble with the NCAA with Reggie Bush getting payments and other benefits. (Bush was probably the tip of the iceberg) The point is...

Glad to see our punters have bulked up. Hopefully its good weight.:)

Nick Saban and Bear Bryant have both won about 78% of their career games. You don't think they are great coaches?

According to Sagarins SOS rating for 2017, Ohio St"s schedule was rated the 13th toughest in the country. Iowa's schedule was 5th. So despite the fact that OSU had one tougher game against oklahoma, Iowa still had the tougher schedule. This is probably partly due to the fact that OSU doesn't...

Several big ten teams do play a tougher opponent than anyone Iowa has played. That's still only one game in a 12 game season, so overall the SOS isn't drastically different.

Most big ten teams have basically the same schedule. They each play nine big ten opponents ( it used to be eight), two cupcakes, and maybe one P5 school. Some years you might have a tougher schedule depending on who your crossover opponents are, but over the course of ten or more years that will...
