I like Fran and DO NOT want to see him leave, I also have a lot of respect for how Nova plays D. You also can't ignore Iowa's propensity for late season/late game collapses. If Fran can evolve into a Bo Ryan or Jay Wright in defensive terms Iowa will be a tough out.

Not gonna lie, I already had the thought about Nova taking that time out and setting up the final play. That right there shows how well Nova had UNC scouted. They knew UNC bigs would be in the lane to defend the drive and used it to there advantage. I remember McCaffrey taking a timeout at...

I like Fran just fine, but he needs to read the Jay Wright book on coaching D. I watched Nova all tournament and there ability to play team D and each player knowing the scout is amazing. He deserved the coach of the year fo SHO! Yeah it helped that there shooting % was nuts, but there D was...

Defense is not MG's issue--trust, it will be missed next year.

All the moaning about Fran is a little over the top. These players helped Iowa get back to relevance. As did his coaching and recruiting. Maybe he has a little KF in him in that he believes a little too much in the seniors, but hey they are the girl that brought us to the dance. I like that he...

They need to beat the s&&& out of Yogi. If it were me I would have Clemmons, MG and CW all hack, hold, push shove (Basically play MSU thug ball) and get in his head. Wear him down. Post him up on D and take it to him. Indiana likes to chuck, you got to be close when they chuck and block out...

When, if ever, was the last time a P5 conference had an 11-0 record with no one on the team getting any love for the Heisman. I am not saying C.J. is a Heisman candidate but he is a 12-0 career starter at QB, and without him we are at best probably a 7-5 team. So if the Heisman is supposed to go...

I am a person who has learned the hard way if you run head first into a wall enough times, you need to change course. I would like to see ISU join the Big East here is why. 1. Good BBall Conference (We all know ISU is a Bball School first) 2. They do not have to compete with the Texas...

I feel like someone needed to respond--consider it done.

Agreed "When Healthy" let JC start and at max get 15 carries However AW should get more carries overall the rest of the season. I don't think you will see JC for the next 4 weeks or so though, if you watch the replay his foot was just about pointing in the wrong direction, so I'm guessing it is...

Here is the thing for me. I think the era of "That's Football" is over. I am one who thought the game had passed him by and I'm not afraid to admit it. If you look at last year the team lacked excitement, focus, and effort. Personally I think much of that had to do with the fact the team new CJB...

Please Kirk, keep playing AW and DMX--The cat is out of the bag--AW is clearly the best back on the team (that we have seen) and DMX adds a dimension our offense needs. When JC comes back keep playing Wadley (He is perhaps the MOST talented back of your tenure). Please don't put baby in the...

Alright Doc Brown--How many jigawatts and how fast to travel back to 2002? I predict 100% chance I think your 13% is pulled out of your ###.

I looked up total defense and Pitt is right behind Michigan, NW is pretty on par with Wiscy, but scheme wise 3-4 from Wiscy presented a larger challenge.

Northwestern has a tough D, but are they as good as Pitt or Wisco?-both of those games came with some schematic issues for Iowa. Traditionally NW is more base than the other 2. They have 2 good lbs, but their DL can be ran on. Also, I watched much of their Ball State game and their D was just...

I would like to see King get a few touches on offense. To me he is Iowas biggest weapon in all 3 phases. I think if KF put him in on offense from time to time especially with Smith hurt--he starts getting Woodson type hype which could only be good for Iowa in any phase of the game.

I noticed in the last couple of games--we have rarely heard much from #19. I went and rewatched the game from sat and noticed on the 2 passing Td's he was out of position. I think at this point it comes down to experience, in the 2nd half the middle of the deep field was closed off for sure. On...

Rewatched the play--he stuck his hand in the get the football on a fumble during a screen play. It didnt look good- I would guess broken forearm. Hopefully it can be casted so he can keep going.

I lived in Osky for 7 years, actually took a class with Sash's brother at Willliam Penn. Sash was the talk of the town which is saying something for a 3A school. I am pretty sure he took a kickoff the distance as a freshman--first touch ( that could be Folk talk). However, the kid was a beast...

I am certainly not a KF apologist, but what if these new facilities bring about another long term success later ( Perhaps for BB)? KF is getting long in the tooth for sure, and his brand of FB is about as boring as it gets.However, sometimes leaders are in a position to see the forest through...
