The tired narrative of QBs getting worse under Ferentz needs to be retired. Stanzi was statistically much better his senior year, though the team record didn't reflect it due to late game defensive collapses (mostly due to no depth on the D-line). If I remember correctly, the Hawks led in the...

I don't know if this has been said, but the thread title is BS. Tracy had one catch for eight yards and at least one drop. Jones, on the other hand...

Thanks for answering that for me. Lou also won a gold medal in wrestling in the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. The Banach twins were incredible to watch wrestle. Ed wrestled at 190, won 3 NCAA titles and also won a gold medal in the 1984 Summer Olympics.

Lou Banach would like a word with you.

With the advent of NIL, will recruits to teams like Penn State want their names on the back on their jerseys? Sounds like a no-brainer to me.

If you like lagers, Ruthie from Exile Brewing in Des Moines, Gable from Single Speed in Waterloo, and Dorothy's from Toppling Goliath in Decorah are excellent. I also like a good dunkel like Backpocket's Slingshot and most stouts.

You may be a supertaster like me. I was a very picky eater as a child. "Supertasters are particularly sensitive to bitter flavors in foods such as broccoli, spinach, coffee, beer, and chocolate." I can't stand IPA's or other hoppy beers, which seem to be about all you can find at bars besides...

Aidan O'Connell loses his #1 receiver for the season because of grades. His childhood friend is looking at being #2 or 3 on the Iowa depth chart. You don't suppose he might have called Charlie Jones up for a chat, do you?

Some of you must not have watched Ivey play much last year. He flashed brilliance occasionally, but also disappeared for long stretches or made dumbass plays. Murray is a much better choice.

I don't think Kris will be fighting for a guard spot.

It was exactly as I remember. Lute had the good luck to have Ronnie Lester, the best point guard I've ever seen, and a bunch of decent role players. I was inferring that his time in Iowa was very good, but I think it had peaked. He was able to recruit better players to Arizona.

Lute is always brought up as the coach who made Iowa a national contender. He did make the Final Four once, but he also lost a couple of first round games as a big favorite. His overall record at Iowa wasn't great, but much better than his predecessor, Schultz. Lute, like Ralph Miller, went on...

I want to be there when you walk up to Jbo at the bar and tell him he's not a point guard. I hope you have a strong jaw. I don't know, but just maybe the player that started for three years and holds the Hawkeye assist record should be considered a point guard. But that's just me.

In what world is Ash's scholarship a big deal? What, you think we could have used it to get some stud? Everybody is always saying that McCaffrey needs to late down the number of players he uses. Why not give an unused schollie to someone who has put in their time?

How about everybody take a breath and see how Iowa's QBs play with a little better O-line. Just possibly, with more than a second and a half to make a read and get rid of the ball, QB play will improve.

The Hawks swept three games against Bucky last year and are 6-2 in the last eight games. But then, that was with Luka Garza...

I. Wish. People. Would. Stop. Doing. This.

Tracy caught the ball, tucked it in his arm, took a stutter step (which established possession), then braced himself for the hit he was about to take. He went to the ground, the ball touched the ground and he bobbled it slightly then regained control. The replay official evidently didn't think...

I like your sentiment here, but Lester went down with that knee on a no-contact play in the Louisville game. Unless you were referring to when he was originally injured. I don't recall the circumstances there.

I'll take Ronnie Lester and any other 6 players from the guys you have all brought up. Lester was, hands down, the best college point guard I've ever watched. Picking the rest of my team would be too difficult.
