We just don't have the dollars right now to get the top coaches. I'm worried that we will lose BOTH DeVries and mcCollum to other schools that will outbid Iowa.

I'm hearing Chris Jans is a finalist, along with DeVries. McCollum is going to Indiana. I'm still hoping for McCollum.

Iowa moved up to 23 in the NET with the big win over Sparty. That's 6 quad 1 wins now; only 5 teams in the country have more than six. Interesting.

When the other team's captains are so stressed out, amped up and full of hate that they don't even shake hands with your captains before the coin flip. At that point you know it's a true rivalry game. Remember several years ago when the Nebraska people started a narrative that basically...

I thought it would be somewhat interesting to see how the Big West teams did this year against each other, and then against the rest of the conference. First, their records when playing each other: Iowa 4-0 ILL 3-1 Gophers 2-1 Huskers 2-2...

Last year Iowa went 5-1 head to head against the other West Division teams. How is Iowa doing this year? Here are the current records (head-to-head only) Iowa 3 0 (remaining games: Nebraska) ILL 2 1 (Northwestern remains) Wis 2 1 (Neb and MN remain) MN 1 1...

With the victory over the hated Badgers, Iowa at 6 wins is bowl-eligible and becomes a desirable bowl candidate for the non-playoff bowls. I also think 4 Big Ten teams are going to make the playoff. If Iowa wins 2 of its next 3 (very possible), they will be 5th in the bowl pecking order. The...

Apparently it's official. Notre Dame next?

Go over to the free board at Go Iowa Awesome sometime. It is a cesspool of filthy trolling, petty bickering and fighting, falsehoods, attacks on coaches and players, outright lies, etc. etc. I'm guessing 80% of the posts are either Iowa State or Nebraska fans. Simply disgusting, frankly. I'm...

Lots of games left, but Iowa is trending up at the moment.. Iowa now has 7 Quad 1 wins, fourth best in the country. Hard team to defend: Murray, Perkins, Sandfort and Rebraca are threats to go off at any time. Ulis is heating up and Connor can make shots now if you sag off of him. Very...

Woody Hayes is the all time wins leader in Big Ten football coaching: 205 wins (205 wins while coaching at a Big Ten school). Captain Kirk has 186 wins right now. I think Ferentz has a very good chance to surpass Woody Hayes and become the all time leader in wins in the Big Ten conference.

The overall records say yes. Here are the top 5 teams over the past 10 years, based on overall record: 1. Ohio State 116-14 2. Wisconsin 91-36 3. Michigan 85-37 4. IOWA 85-41 5. Penn State 84-41

This probably belongs on the basketball board, but it certainly has applicability to football. Creighton is putting all of its resources into basketball and trying to build a national brand, according to a very reliable source. Current deal for EVERY scholarship basketball player, per year...

A Hall of Fame coach. I have never seen an Iowa defense play better than this season in my 60 years of watching Iowa football. The Wisconsin game was a masterpiece of coaching.

I was at the game and noticed how fast Vines is, and how often he was getting open. And I felt his threat was allowing other receivers like Ragaini to get some space. Purdue has a very suspect secondary. I hope Iowa goes vertical with Vines early and often.

Saban refers to outside praise of his football team as "rat poison." Basically, it can really hurt a team after a big win and before the next game. Our Iowa basketball team has received a ton of praise the past 3 days. I hope they can clear their heads and just focus on Richmond. The Big Ten...

I'm still experiencing the euphoric high of the last 4 days. Wow, was that amazing. I've been watching Iowa basketball carefully since 1964 and seen a lot of great players. Is Murray the best ever? I say yes....even more dominant than the great Ronnie Lester. My Mt. Rushmore: Murray Lester...

I didn’t think I would live to see it. Incredible

Sports Reference rating service right now rates this team the second best Iowa team since the 1993 Iowa team. That's 29 years. It really has been an outstanding season thus far.

Can this team make a run in the NCAA??
