    CJB...

    Looks like arm strength to me. EDIT: I just did a little math on the BTC game film. CJ throws from the Iowa 8... Smith catches at the MSU 35. 15 yards + 42 yards = 57 yards in the air into a tight space. Did I miss something?

    Oh Jesus, really?????????????????? (see duplicate thread soon to be posted)

    I just can't help but notice, nobody here has seen the obvious. We need to switch Faith over to RB, since obviously 5 people were afraid to tackle him on a grassy field.

    Iowa coordinator says Beathard can be his best QB ever

    I think you are exaggerating what was said. Also, you CAN say "all other things held equal, CJ as a starter might have given us more points than Rudock, which could have brought between 1 and 3 extra wins in 2014." That is, in fact, a big portion of statistical analyses used in scientific...

    Summer Filler 6

    Indiana has experimented in the past with at least a handful of mascots. None stuck. There's a good story on this here: http://www.idsnews.com/article/2014/10/mascot-history Michigan had a live wolverine as a mascot back in the 20s/30s, and a plush mascot in the 80s and mid 90s, but they...

    Rudock Appears to be in Good Spot w/ Lions

    At the very least don't compare "contributions to society" between two people when one has already retired and the other has still not left college... c'mon.

    Isn't Perry Ellis like 45 or something?

    OK Lawyers - What's the Deal?

    Because ISU is actually called "Iowa State University of Science and Technology." It is not THE state university of Iowa. https://www.legis.iowa.gov/docs/code/2016/266.pdf Same with UNI, it is not the "state university" of Iowa, but a public university governed by the same board that governs...

    Kirk haters beware...

    If "BF" stood for Brian Fry, some of these posters would sing a different tune. Their resistance to it is that they have some deep-seated dislike of Kirk and all things Ferentz, meaning they can't objectively look at anything related to them.

    NJ WR Frank Darby

    That looks really close to a shocker...

    NJ WR Frank Darby

    I have to say, that's an awfully bold claim to make about somebody who's never played at the D1 college level.

    NJ WR Frank Darby

    Looks like Iowa wasn't the only one concerned with the academics and thinking prep school was the right route for this kid. My money is on him hitting prep school for a year then red-shirting.

    Conference Expansion

    We could even move schools like Iowa to the South to help recruiting!

    Rough Night for Texas A&M

    I seem to remember a certain running back who was verbally committed to Iowa, choose on signing day to suddenly sign with Michigan. And within an hour, Iowa was signing a previously unheard of RB named Eric Graham... There's a lesson in there, somewhere... about chickens and eggs hatching, i...

    PENN STATE

    They could reinstate the post-season and scholarship sanctions and say it was basically time added for more of the same heinous acts. That way it doesn't minimize the impact on any of the victims, just increases the amount of time PSU is in the dog house. This is particularly likely, given...

    Stars Matter

    Be careful making broad generalizations with one year's worth of data. More 4* than 5* drafted in the first round, and more 2* than 3*. If stars were the ONLY thing that mattered it would be a perfectly linear distribution. It's not. 2014 First Round picks: 5* - 3 4* - 15 3* - 9 2* - 1 NR -...

    Does CJ Have a Legit Heisman Run?

    My Hawkeye heart says yes... But my brain says no. There's a bias toward players on teams that do two things: 1) Put up gaudy passing or rushing numbers. Iowa's balanced, pro-style attack and grinding run game that focuses on wearing a defense down rather than torching it on the outside...
