That's the thing, we could scenario this thing til it's dead. But I will say, KF has rolled the dice more than what I thought he would. A 4th and 1 at midfield that Gronk did a sneak on. That's usually not a KF call. But there were plays were plays we left out there. Gronk admitted after the...

It's frustrating for sure, but anyone who has been around this program knows this is our style of play. What one thing I took away from this game was that our offense is starting show more capability. Marching 93 yards in the 4th quarter when we needed it against a defense ranked just behind...

My son and I talked quite a bit on the ride home. Maybe we were coping....LOL. However, a few mistakes were the difference even with the talent disparity. While I was frustrated with the inability to stop the run, I get what Phil had to do. He picked his poison per se. The safety was an...

You are not wrong. But that tells alot about our program and the coaching staff. This is nothing new for our program. Well known for taking 3 star kids and coaching them up. What it does do though, is makes our margin for error very slim in games like this.

Definitely. It really comes down to what you spoke of. While frustrating in some aspects due to the self-inflicted mistakes, I was still proud how we battled all game and to see the offense march 93 yards for the go ahead touchdown was awesome. Kinnick exploded when Gronk crossed the goal line...

Spot on. The missed tackles was frustrating, but your assessment was correct. Their line was getting to the second level which sprung them.

1. The safety 2. The Wetjen fumble 3. The infamous heel tap on 2 point conversion KF said it and it's been a cliche forever about the game being a "game of inches" and that was exactly it. Iowa drug Oregon into a street fight and did what they needed to do. Unfortunately, Iowa also operates...

I was sitting in Section 109 and Row 11. And there were a handful of Oregon fans that were pretty obnoxious. Most Duck fans were pretty quiet most of the game. Wasn't until after the game when they seemed to get a bit loud. I did witness #4 Benson for the Ducks run all the across the field and...

Definitely agree with Phil over Norm. KF actually has a slight advantage in winning percentage 62.5%/56% and both have similar bowl record win percentages, but KF has been to 3 more bowls. (Hayden has a 6-7 record and KF a 10-11 record). So I think with Hayden vs KF, it's statistically a pick'em...

Which is a lot of Phil staying in base defense and not putting a spy on the quarterback. Phil puts a lot on each position to know and stay in their role and then some. However, collectively as a unit, he overachieves year in and year out. Parker also does a helluva job of making halftime...

IF we can repeat history with that energy, that would be awesome. I joking told my son we would storm the field. LOL.

And that's the conundrum make some money now, or potentially declare for the draft and take that risk of not making the 53 man roster. I suppose it's hard to gauge what potential earnings are in the NFL versus NIL for a wide receiver/special team specialist. I do know prior to the NIL that...

I think it seems that in Lester's schemes, having a mobile quarterback is very beneficial. Hecklinski seems to have that ability and from what it seems, he's a bit of a gunslinger too. Maybe a bit like Drew Tate? I'm guessing he arm slotting will be important. Dylan Gabriel seemed to have...

That's the thing. NIL has made it the Wild West and there's a bidding war for athletes. On one end, I say take the money and run. On the other end, I could see that it might benefit him more to be incorporated more in the offense to get more experience. But Charlie Jones and Smith Marsette and...

Much of the sentiment, it's fun to talk about but in all reality, I would love for us to win and even if we don't make it, that's a helluva season with how we played early on. I would love to see this team continue to grow and get better each week. Let's get there first. Win out and we can argue...

Man, I love this place. LOL.

I was just going to bring up KF's timeout comments. Is there any truth that Fleck applied to be a GA or something and was denied by Ferentz? Figured you might know.

You're not wrong. I thought in some ways it was Fleck being petty and passive aggressive but at the end it was miniscule in the grand scheme of things. Hawkeyes still boat raced them.

LOL. All good. Great minds think alike!

Nailed it! Great analysis. Either he is a weapon or at minimum a decoy. And a bad pursuit angle or a slip and he has the ability to get us a chunk play or house it.
