    Frans Recruiting

    I think with Fran, he counts on building that chemistry and having all players contribute and rotate in and out. I think he tries to find the right pieces ... Of course, he would like some 4 or 5 stars sprinkled in but for the most part I think we will see Fran bring in 3-star guys and then...

    Isn't Wegher like 27 now?

    I am proud of my garbage route

    How long ?

    Iowa's playing field extends 6 yards across. 3 yards in each direction ... :)

    Texas on Thursday

    Looking forward to see how we match up against Texas. I like playing games like this in the non conference. I really think it helps you get better in the long run. I have always respected Izzo for (normally) playing a very tough non-conference schedule. The lessons learned from the Texas game...

    Ferentz Comment on Willies

    The wonderful world of messageboards and social media in general. I hope things work out for Willies that are best for him and his family. If he wants to play again at Iowa, that will be between Kirk and Willies to map out what that might look like. Sure, I think it would be great to have...

    Would things be different if Gordon had come here?

    He would be playing...... Right behind Weismann

    Matte finish helmets?

    I like the matte finish. I think Iowa could do some cool things with uniform variations. Have one of the best color schemes around.

    Answer to all you Mark Weisman critics!

    This is a bad Illinois team. Weisman had a decent game but let's not get carried away. Weisman would never start at running back for any other team in the Big 10. He is a "nice" runner but ineffective against stout run defenses.

    Future Attendence

    I am not picking on you when I say this ... but this is what's sad about the state of the program ... we now consider Minnesota as a good game ...

    Future Attendence

    Interesting reading this posts and I think the OP started a worthwhile conversation. We are starting to see apathy set in for many fans ... It sure set in for me. I stopped my season tickets after having them for about 10 years. Now, I sometimes find myself DVRing the games and quickly skipping...

    I would like to hear Ferentz say this just once.....

    Unfortunately, Kirk and Co have been outcoached on NUMEROUS occasions ...

    Stoops possible? probably not, however. ..

    The only way I could imagine Stoops coming here is if Kirk is done at Iowa after 2 more years (which I think he will be done) ... And Stoops is ready for a new start as the natives in Norman continue to grow restless with its program. I keep thinking maybe Stoops has it on his bucket list he...

    Saw this on another site. Barta responds to a fan about Ferentz

    I work in the world of communications and I am strongly guessing the majority of responses from Gary are indeed from the fingertips of his staff and not Gary. If Gary were to sit down and respond to every email he received that would be a fulltime gig in itself ... He has people who lend support...

    The Truth

    I think fans did get excited (me included) after seeing us put together a complete game against NW. Even though this is not one of Fitz's better NW teams, we still shut them down in every area. Unfortunately, Minnesota did the exact same thing to us. We WANTED to believe Iowa would get back some...

    A Kirk Ferentz petition site for removal has sprung up

    My gut tells me that Kirk will be the coach for 2 more seasons and after that second season he will "retire." Iowa won't flat out "fire" Kirk but I am guessing Gary reaches an agreement with Kirk that it's time to step away. We all know Kirk is a good guy. Has done a lot for Iowa football ...

    Iowa or Iowa State?

    PR will most likely be gone before Kirk. Pollardhas over and over stated his supported of what PR is doing. Of course, he has to publically support him since he hired him and since he gave him the contract extension ... I think PR gets one more year and if the team continues down its current...
