"The only good Gopher is a dead gopher!"

Penn State might have told him that they were no longer interested. The Penn St. AD and Ruhle are long time friends. But the loss to Minnesota, the way they were dominated, might have been a deal breaker for PSU. Nebraska hasn't beaten a top 20 team for a long time, far longer than the...

No insight on this at all but I've always had the hunch that he will end up on the defensive side of the ball. Linebacker or safety. Too smart and too good of an athlete and he won't end up seeing the field at QB.

Not homerism at all. Really cool that you have a connection with two of the best players on the team. I also think it's amazing how many Hawkeye football players are from the NW Iowa area. Not just walk-on fourth stringers, guys who work their way into starting roles and some, to the NFL...

Lutmer is the Defensive Player of the Year. Hall is the most valuable. Two different things. Lutmer has really played well and is a play maker. Hall just shuts down whoever he is guarding. Hall does not have the opportunity to make the number of plays that Lutmer has had this year.

I think Hecklinski will win the job. Just based on what Lester has said about him, he seems pretty high on him. But he always says Brown is close though. As for Brown transferring, he will have to decide in January as that is the only open time for the transfer portal now. So it gets a...

Some of these schools are going to regret their actions. There just aren't enough top flight coaches to fill all of these vacancies.

Even if we beat Oregon, I doubt we go undefeated through the last three games. But beating Oregon would be awesome and a huge jump start to the final games. If we go 10-2 I believe we will be in the playoffs. I just don't think that will happen. I would love to be wrong!

It was KJ Parker. He is a WR who normally wears #1. But since he and X both have #1 (and both play special teams), he had to change jerseys on special teams.

Thanks for posting. I honestly think that #17 is a pretty good spot for where this team is right now.

If you can't see the improvement in this team then you must not be watching. Offense and defense, I see growth every game. Can we beat Oregon? Yes, but I am not counting on it. And it won't alter my thinking that we have improved. Before the season I said that Iowa State would be a tough...

One of the most fun games in a long time. This game reminded me of when we played Ohio State in 2017. Not exact match but the way we came out on fire and never let up until they were dead in the water. Minnesota knew halfway through the first quarter they had no chance in this game.

Yes, they might have more to come from than we do. And, I like our chances in Kinnick. Minnesota has not won a road game this year.

We don't have a great history following big wins like last week, at least in recent years.

Iowa scored on every second half possession against Penn St. except for the final drive kneel-down. And they threw the ball twice, completing both of those throws. Kinda tells you all you need to know about Gronowski.

If a bank is making a loan of that size to a new venture, it almost always has a guarantor on the loan. It would make a lot of sense that that guarantor would be Keegan. No insight on that but just a guess. If the loan were to go bad, the guarantor would be responsible.

Chad Leistikow said on his podcast that Gronowski indicated in interviews Tuesday that the knee is bothering his throws. Getting better but still not 100%. He hopes that the bye week will get him closer. You can believe that or not.

Yeah, 9-3 will not get us in, even if we were to beat Oregon and lose to USC. I can't really think of any 9-3 team that would be playoff worthy.

I agree that Lester has been creative in the run game. And I would add, he has had some good pass play calls that didn't work out. I go back to the last drive against Indiana, he had the perfect screen/halfback pass called to the left to Molton. Unfortunately the throw was off and it...

I am with you 100%. He has a good year every other year. The other years, he has struggled. I hope he can get his head straight moving forward but I don't have any confidence when he lines up for a kick right now. But if you are Lavar Woods, not sure you can trust the guy behind him who is...
