I agree that this team looks like it is ready to play every night and should be able to win most nights against teams that have equal or lesser talent. They will upset a few teams within reach talent wise. This is not that. As Fry stated, if it is respectable, I am good. Not expecting a W or...

Great stats

It was his third season. Doesn't really make sense that all of the players were recruited by the previous regime, sucked the first two years and then had one great year? Rhule recruited no one in those three years? Even so, he coached them up. 1 win to 11 wins in two years. Similar to what...

I think he would have been in the discussion, but at best, he looks like a lateral hire. Franklin has a better track record. I think that PSU and its fans think they can do better than Rhule, but he would have been in the mix as a fall back candidate if they did not find someone better...

There are some really great thoughts here. Iowa, and Minnesota to a lesser extent, have developed a core culture centered around hard work, trenches, and discipline. Shaking hands with 8-4 doesn't mean settling. It means, we will view 8-4 as a successful season knowing that every few years we...

I think Riola will still have plenty of interested parties if he bolts. He has close to a 4 million dollar NIL estimate. He probably won't get that, but I suspect that a lot of programs would take a 6'3 kid with an NFL arm and two years starting experience. If I was Tim Lester I would take...

Nebraska attracts and pays for more talent to come in. Iowa develops talent. That is the difference and why Iowa is punching above its weight class in this category and Nebbie is an entrenched ex-blue blood program.

I have said on this Board many times that there is no way to really solve the NIL/transfer/spending gap problems that exists in college football absent Congress. Well, a ray of sunshine. Congress is voting on the bill today. Likely it passes and then they start haggling with the Senate. It...

I watched the replay of the 2019 Nebbie game on BTN Thursday and was struck at the team Stanley had: Tyler Goodson at RB Tyrone Tracy and Smith Marsette at WR La Porta at TE Wirfs, Lindy, and Alaric Jackson on the line. That is a sick amount of talent. All of those guys were drafted or played...

Beth is not going to fire KF. Lord. We just had our 10th consecutive 8+ win season. What would be the basis for firing him? At best, he either wants to retire or is willing to retire if the departure is handled the right way. I don't think either is going on right now, but a replacement...

It is amazing how thin the line is between success and failure. If Rhule doesn't shit the bed against Minnesota or Iowa, the fans would be crowing about progress with an 8-4 season. While things do not look as rosy as the Sand People want, there is still no question they are better than under...

I am just struggling to see what Rhule is selling to recruits and the Bugeater fans. Lost their best QB recruit. May lose their starting QB. Fired DC. Can't beat anyone that is any good. Unless their RB is moronic, he needs to jump to the NFL now. There have been a number of defections in...

I don't even understand the basis for the question. But, no.

Saw they just fired their DC. Its hard to build stability and culture when you burn through multiple coordinators on both sides of the ball, as well as position coaches, all in less than three seasons. Giving Rhule that extension is looking worse by the day.

You should not change a thing. You heard information, passed it along, and made a prediction. Nothing wrong with that. I have no doubt you heard what you heard and that it was a real source. But, we all know how a game of telephone works. What starts out as Beth having lunch with Bob...

Well, you have set yourself up to be right now matter what happens. If KF leaves, you crow that you knew it before everyone else. If he stays, you claim that Beth was looking at a candidate, did not land said candidate, and so stuck with KF. This cannot be proven untrue. Not a criticism. I...

DeBoer? Seriously. Is there really a scenario where a candidate is still coaching his team through the playoffs, and that coach wants to leave the program in the playoffs and come to Iowa? Did Beth's HC budget jump up to 12 million when I wasn't looking? Come on. Maybe it is a lower level...

Which Stoops? Mark just got fired and Bob is as old as KF. I would be shocked if this was the direction she wanted to head. Fitzgerald made some sense, but sounds like he is taken. As for keeping it quiet. If what Fry is saying is accurate, well, Fry knows. We all know. So, its not...

Not to beat a dead horse, but if it is an internal hire, then Fry's information isn't accurate. Beth would not be recruiting anyone internally. She would offer the job. He would take it. Done. If that were the case, they would have announced it. Why wait? This would be a happy press...

I think Dylan should transfer because he has not gotten any better in his two years at Nebbie. He came in as the #1 recruit. His coach has not put much talent around him except for at RB this year. The OL is below average. Dylan looked the same this year as last year. Sometimes he looks...
