Parker has stated in past interviews he rides off in the sunset with KF when he goes. I doubt that changes.

Love his mentality. Humble. Positive and a winner. The kid is a leader. There's a reason why he has the locker room. He may not have insane numbers, but he plays within the system and makes plays when needed. I still think he has cemented his name as a legend with the Hawkeyes for what he has done.

It could have came down to that Coach Jensen got the players she wanted and potentially there was not room for her. Not that she is a lesser player, but other players may have been more of a fit. Obviously, the CC Effect and the recent success of the women's team has likely boosted recruiting.

I really wonder how much this labrum injury has affected his ability to throw. You watch old vids of him and he definitely can throw the ball. I also recall him mentioning the knee brace affects his ability to throwing. I make no excuses though. I think our expectations were much higher for...

We just got a UCLA de-commit out of Florida, Xavier Stinson, who is a receiver. 6'3/205. I think he's a 3 star, but seemed to have a few other notable offers. I do know we have some decent O-linemen coming in too. Also throw in a stacked tight end room. I think we are turning the corner.

Great points. I think the talent gap with the linebackers is the most glaring. I think Fry mentioned this is the least talented group for years. Maybe before the Outlaw Josey Jewell? Traditionally we have always had playmakers at that position and it's a "next man in" approach. Not this year...

In similar ways, Gable had many many wrestlers that graduated and took coaching positions at other programs and built them up. Besides John Smith, Harold Nichols, and a few others, Iowa was THE program for quite some time and was so dominant. However, Gable grew the sport and many of his...

You throw in players who sit out the bowl games, which is the portal guys and guys who look to invest in their draft and you often have a very different team than what played in the regular season. With the CFP, the games become somewhat of a consolation prize for everyone else. However, I...

I like the kid. Endene too. My hope is a few of the wrestlers continue to progress and we can remain healthy. I will say the Brands' style of "iron sharpening iron" is definitely old school. I have questioned it's effectiveness. I suppose it takes a special type of wrestler that can stay...

Maiava threw some dimes. And also threw the ball to places where his athletic receivers could high point catches. Maybe pressure alters this but him being able to stand in the pocket and eat a sandwich didn't make it easy on our secondary.

What's been odd is Phil usually does well with in game and 2nd half adjustments. It's a bit odd that it hasn't seemed like he did as much the last two games. I assume it has a bit to do with the talent deficit and fear of the speed of the offense. In the Oregon game I noticed they slanted a...

I think Fry pointed out a while ago, how Nebby football fans are often Creighton basketball supporters. Granted Creighton doesn't have a team so I get if they are Bugeater fans, but Nebby football fans I would think would be all in on the Mayor and his crew.

Hiring after KF hangs it up will be very tedious. Do we hire someone that continues the culture and how Iowa does things? Phil will ride off in the sunset with KF. Do they have someone internally that will lead the same way as KF? Or do they bring in a new face and see what they can do? I say...

Speaking of the offense, since the announcers were busy glazing Lincoln Riley and USC the whole time I guess I didn't realize Dunker, Stephens and Pieper were all out. Any update how significant their injuries are? That is somewhat telling of our ineffectiveness in the 2nd half.

Doesn't Iowa have a pretty decent 2026 recruiting class coming in with some decent kids? Not saying that means a thing, and with the ability to decommit and go elsewhere, until a kid is on campus and shows his ability, I suppose it doesn't matter.

It can be maddening, but I think when you run up against teams with superior skill set and talent, Phil tends to game plan a safer approach attempting to negate the speed. What I saw that hurt us is you have a QB making NFL type of throws and throwing the ball to the apex where his receivers...

Yeah, Idk....he didn't wrestle well and what his style he normally wrestles. It also sucked we had to forfeit at HWT. I'm chalking it as too early but I think this year some teams are going to be stacked. Every weight is going to need to step up.

I thought that some of our guys underperformed. Caliendo didn't seem to wrestle as well as I would have thought. Ayala too. Although, I was impressed with Block and Ferrari how they competed. I think it's going to a work in progress this year. And much like stated above, Iowa could slip even more.

Agreed. They were glazing USC all game long. Horrible.

Exactly. Does not include sponsorship money and so forth or direct payments or etc to the player. This is basically only NIL money. Huge difference. I think I posted a couple weeks ago, I posted totals for both NIL and sponsorship. Quite a difference. Oregon was somewhere around $940 million in...
