Paid WazzU $4 million to buy out Rodgers' contract. Penn State only had to pay $2 million to buy out Campbell's contract. And....they get fined $500K for passing on a bowl game. Math must not be their strongpoint. Nor do they care about money I guess.

He had already accepted the position and players already knew when he chose to address them. He was accepted allegedly 2-3 days prior to the official announcement or at least was in negotiations to finalize. But the story broke on social media of him accepting prior to his meeting. He did not...

I'm guessing that with Campbell going rogue and ghosting his staff and his players, and then leaving without even addressing them, and them finding out via social media, I can see a mass exodus from the team. Also, signing a bunch of kids to commit, and then bailing. Not a good look. I read...

Throw in he never addressed the team when he accepted. They found out via social media. Makes it hard not feel a little betrayed.

I will first of all say, I am sorry for your loss. Much like the rest of group, I agree we need an outlet to grieve, and we often do not have that outlet or are taught or programmed that showing emotion is vulnerability or a sign of weakness. Completely false. Much as their are different...

Ol Cash Herrera to Boise State. Apparently realized that Mendoza's younger brother was going to take his brother's spot.

I think he will get his cup of coffee for sure. The key will be if he makes it past his rookie contract. He had knee issues in high school, and he has only gotten heavier. Had some procedure related to his hip over the summer too.

Iowa takes definitely a different approach to recruiting. Some of which is by necessity. They build and develop. Thus, they tend to look through the optics of maybe not a 5 star athlete in football, but potentially a 3 star athlete who is a multiple sport athlete. Look at a lot of our linemen...

He told the media early on he will not address any questions regarding other coaching positions and stated he instructed his agent that he would not speak to anyone who desired to speak to him until after his season was complete.

I think we dodged a bullet with Proctor. Lots of red flags. Many of which KF chose not to share, but IF he would have bought in to the system, put his nose to the grindstone, but I get you, he would have definitely made us better, and I'm guessing would have helped his draft stock.

Honestly, who knows. Do Beth and KF actually have a good working relationship? After all, Beth was the AD who sent Brian packing. There may be this low key grudge that KF holds, or even some animosity by Beth knowing KF still runs the show and has the political power to hold his own til he...

From what I know his story is even better. Iowa was actually going to watch another teammate and saw him and actually ended up offering him instead. Love seeing stories like this where we take a kid and let him buy into our culture and program and they reap the rewards.

I forgot both Dotzler and Jones had some decent playing time. That is definitely a breath of fresh air. Dotzler, Jones, Pieper and Lauk all have some level of experience. Would love to see Allgeyer take the next step. You make a very serviceable O-line out of those guys and I don't see much drop...

I think we also have 3 receivers coming in with this next class. One is a transfer out of Florida from UCLA. But I am thinking we will be in pretty good shape next season. I would like to see a healthy Dayton Howard and RVZ next year at the wideouts. Both have size. IF Hecklinski can get it to...

He was very close to Franklin from reports I hear. Maybe he bails for VaTech? He seems to be getting the bridesmaid treatment. AND if they do hire someone else, he may not be guaranteed a position. I'm guessing he might have a contingency plan.

I think if KF was younger, it might be a possibility. However, he was a Pitt guy. He might actually have a low key disdain for Penn State. LOL. I think he has made Iowa home and I know Mary and he share a love of the university and hospitals. I don't think even if he was 20 years younger he...

He has joked before Mary has "to do lists" and apparently besides grilling, KF isn't too skillful around the house. He knows one thing-coaching football. He even joked he is terrible at golf. I think it truly shows his passion for the game, coaching, and being around young athletes. I would...

Even better!

I will be curious if any of these incoming freshman will see the field. A few look like they could step in. I think there are a couple that are like 6'4 300+. Would love to see this. At minimum, potentially see them as part of the rotation.

I think recruiting had an uptick this year. Granted with the NIL, you never know, but if he leaves after 2027, this class would be juniors and if they are intact and continue to develop, that doesn't leave the cupboard bare like he inherited. We piece together an offensive line, we still have...
