    State of Iowa FB/Athl. Dept./Barta

    This is building off a post about firing Barta...at what point does a University realize that its athletic director and overall department are generally failing in performance and decide to make a change? Does the University of Iowa care about its athletic status in the Big Ten and NCAA overall...

    At what point do the players just say WTF?

    Rehashing Q4's play calling, at what point do the players (and probably any recruit watching the Outback Bowl) just say WTF and realize the play calling and strategy has gone from trying to win to running out the clock and lose interest and faith in the coaching staff? Do you think games like...

    Absolutely Unwatchable...

    KF and crew have done an amazing job of making this team an abysmal mess of unprepared and sloppy play, predictable and absolutely unimaginative play calling, and cringe worthy to the point of completely unwatchable football. WTF. Seriously.

    What does this say about Iowa if Oregon..."has been heading in wrong direction?"

    http://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/the-monday-after-oregon-is-slowing-fading-away-and-needs-to-move-on-from-its-coach/ Interesting perspective on a program that hasn't seen less than 9 wins since 2006 yet is perceived as going in the wrong direction...we've seen 9+ wins 6 times in...

    I think we've all been enrolled in the jelly of the month club...

    we thought it'd be a fruitful season with a nice holiday time bonus but instead weve enrolled (and will be suffering from for the next several seasons) in the gift that keeps on giving...thanks Gary

    Tailgate Tunes...Playlist must have's?

    Got very tired of reading about recruits, what happened last season, 2016 what ifs, season predictions, and other summertime filler and started thinking instead about partying and tailgating. Iowa fight songs and Back in Black aside, what are some must haves on the tailgate playlist? When you...

    2016 Incoming Class

    Seems like we are recruiting hard and winning the battles against mostly FCS and MAC schools with a few Power 5 sprinkled in there...does that seem concerning to anyone? I just found it interesting that in Howe's article I didn't see us winning recruits from any real noteworthy programs...

    Embarrassment for the ages

    This is an embarrassment on a huge national stage. Where do we go from here? Good luck to us getting any credibility ever. Thoughts?

    Does an undefeated opponent in the B1G Championship Game matter?

    I've heard it on College Football Sunday and read it here: http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/14092647/what-kind-shape-college-football-playoff-contenders-in (coincidentally both from the great minds at ESPN) but do you think that if Iowa goes 13-0 but does so by beating either...

    Mike Daniels Mic'd Up...

    Thought this might bring a little levity to the Iowa football sitch: http://www.packers.com/media-center/videos/Sound-FX-Mike-Daniels-micd-up-vs-Lions/1d3877e7-167d-44e7-8833-947e03db126e Also appearances by Micah Hyde and Reilly Reiff

    Weisman at Fullback?

    Been a while since I've been on the site so not sure if anyone else has brought this up recently but this year we seem to have the luxury of multiple talented RB's, does anyone think it'd be effective to run multiple RB sets or use Big Mark in the fullback slot? Thinking since he's not that...

    I just barfed in my mouth

    The longer this day goes on, the worse my hangover has gotten and thinking about the egg we laid last night doesnt help one bit. I thought I was over it (the loss) but really am not and I still can't believe how awful that game was. Has to be one of the least exciting, poorly executed games...

    Should Iowa fans simply accept consistent mediocracy?

    Obviously most of us are very frustrated but it just seems like our coaches seem ok with being average and don't do much to try to change that. It's evident in our coaches playcalling and entire approach to the program. I'm sick of being little ho hum Iowa; stepchild to elite programs. Why...
