Sounds like the solution for a problem that doesn't exist. 65% of teams will now qualify for a bowl, almost dipping into 4-8 teams. So don't worry if Iowa struggles next season with the hard schedule, because if we go 5-7 you can still book your trip somewhere for a bowl. What a freaking joke.

Just how are we favored by 13? You wouldn't think a game vs. Oral Roberts would be big for the program but a loss tonight would seem to grease the skids for Fran's possible departure. Prove me wrong Hawks and at least come close to covering the spread. Heck, just win by one point please and...

CBS sportsline has them #7 based on football, MBB, WBB, and two wild card events where each school might have succeeded. I'm sure wrestling is one of Iowa's. Michigan #1. Hawks beat Alabama btw.

Watched the intro to the Bear-Eagles game last night, where the players introduce themselves and what college they played for. It gets to James Daniels and he says he's from "Warren G. Harding High School". Is that a slam on Kirk or he is friends with Fant so he isn't happy with how Kirk...

Next year when Cook is gone? I mean, he's the only player the other team has to game plan for. JW will be a steady player but he's not there yet. Patrick and Toussaint could end up being good players in the future but they're not going to come in and be difference-makers next year. Where's...

Kirk has some nice pelts on his wall as far as coaches who have won national titles. Joe Pa, Jim Tressel, Steve Spurrier, Nick Saban, Urban Meyer. Have I left anyone out? I do get it, btw, that he's also lost to the Western Michigan coach, the N. Illinois, coach, SD State, Paul Rhodes and...

Kirk had heard how Iowa hadn't won a bowl game since 2010 and got it done. The Pinstripe win wasn't a great win or might not have even been a good win, but it was an adequate win, one that stopped the bleeding and got a positive vibe going again for the program. Same deal for Fran. He's won 1...

Let's see, Rutgers' Steve Pikiell has a $14.35 million buyout. Indiana's Archie Miller has a $20.25 million buyout. Mark Turgeon's is $15.8 million one. tOSU's Chris Holtmann's is $21.5 mill. I realize at this moment, they're all having better seasons than Iowa, but aren't we maybe...

On his show today they were mocking the Bengals extending Marvin Lewis, saying he's been coach there for 15 years and hasn't won a playoff game. He and Stew Gotz spent a couple of minutes comparing him to Kirk Ferentz in terms of the rewarding of mediocrity. Wait a minute, hasn't Ferentz won 7...

Not "Relax". Never thought we'd fall to the same level of poor basketball as we did when Lickliter was here, but we've relapsed to that level of play. Sure, we score more points and it's not as boring of a style but the results are trending back to the abyss of Lickliterness for the Iowa...

I just heard he's turning heads in the Texans' camp and has a good shot to stick with them. Plus, he ran a 4.3 40? He had a few good moments for Iowa, but I mean, we couldn't have found a way to utilize him more last year? It just doesn't look good that our passing game was a colossal stink...

Gary Barta hasn't had the best past month but put a tally on the good side of the ledger for him yesterday with Iowa winning the B1G baseball tournament championship. It might be a small tally but every little bit helps at this point. It was hell of a hire hiring Heller.

I guess we can stop that talk about "I can't see us being worse than 10-2". We are clearly not as good as we thought we were. Our O-line and D-line got dominated today by an FCS team. This loss may be the second worst loss by an FBS team to an FCS team ever, behind only Michigan losing to...

The Des Moines Register is endorsing Kirk getting an extension on his contract. The reporter recommended a four year extension and I think that's about right. Kirk's about to turn 61 so at this point, it's about 95% that, whenever he leaves Iowa, it's gonna be when he retires and rides off...
