    A Few Conference Only Stats I Find Interesting

    1 - A lot has been made about the Hawk's lights out shooting the past two games and for good reason. As Iowa fans we have become accustomed to terrible shooting in recent years. But despite some horrible shooting performances early in the year, Iowa is #2 in FG % at 48%. Its refreshing. 2 -...

    After Two Games...

    ...it is very easy to get swept up in the rah-rah we are great talk. Maybe the two teams we crushed will be decent, maybe they will be terrible. But I can say a few things that seem to be different than last year so far (two data points could be a trend). 1 - Woody is playing much stronger...

    Best Iowa Defenders in the last 15-20 years

    Shonn Morris' color commentary about Mike G's defense in the FD game got me thinning a bit. When was the last time we had a great defender, and who have the great defenders in the last 15-20 years been. May and Gatens were both solid defenders, but I wouldn't really put them in the highest...

    Don't fret about not being able to watch Iowa BBall in IC Friday!

    We get the following AWESOME games instead: Georgetown v Oregon Florida Gulf Coast v Nebraska Weber St vs BYU (Mediacom gives us all BYU games, but we miss half the non-conf Iowa games, brilliant!) USC v Utah State Houston Baptist v TTech Northern Colorado v K State UNC-Ashville v Kentucky Miss...

    TV Coverage for UNC-W Game Friday

    I see listings for ESPN3, but nothing for MC22 (In Iowa City) or on any other channel. I checked the guide and I couldn't find it listed anywhere. Is it only being broadcast online, even locally?

    Pass D & Myth Busters

    A different thread got me looking on the BT Stat's page going back to 2003 (oldest data available). I scribbled down a few notes, and I came up with a couple of numbers that surprised me: Our Pass D is pretty average this year, and the statistics support this belief. I suspect the loss of...

    Throwback Arrived!

    I was terrified I had #3. Not that I wouldn't mind Jason White, but he was hurt. I was too scared to call and see what number I got. Too much so to even open the box. I just told my four year old to open it for me and put it on... It was 94. Helmet has some nice scratches on it. Jersey is...

    Big Ten Rankings and Projections Week #5

    1 - tOSU - After looking all world on offense and defense during the preseason (with a weakness in special teams), they looked very ordinary vs the Illini. They remain on top because their defense is special. Maybe better than Iowa's. They just shut down the Illini in the 2nd half. Passing...

    Things you would like for KF

    To bring back from past seasons. I don't mean players, but rather plays or formations. In 2004, KF used JBabs as a Fullback in short yardage and goal line plays. I would love to see AC or Ballard in that role this year. Also, while I was never a fan of the bubble screen since we used it so...

    Current Bowl Scenarios:

    We win out (12-0): We are going to Pasadena. It is probably 1/3 chance for Jan 8th and 2/3 for Jan 1st. We lose to tOSU (11-1): If PSU beats tOSU the week before, then we tie with PSU and we go get the Roses. PSU plays MSU at season's end for a BCS berth. If tOSU beats PSU, then tOSU gets...

    Food for thought...

    ...Has Marvin McNutt just become MSU's Bobby Olive?
