Fitz is an excellent football coach. I'm not sure the people doing the hiring at Iowa could look past what lead to his firing at Northwestern, fair or not. And, he is a defensive coach in an offensive world of college football. For that reason, I would not want him as our next head FB coach...

The other corner that caught my eye was Jaylen Watson. IIRC, he played last year as a true freshman. He looks the part, now can he put it all together. And you have another transfer cornerback coming in from the transfer portal from South Dakota State.

I don't think this year's d-line will be what we've had in the past but they may not end up being the weak spot we think. I am comfortable with the d-ends we have starting in Llewellyn and Hurkett. You also have Brian Allen as a third end and he may end up being the best of the bunch. It's...

Left tackle had Trevor Lauck with the 1s. I didn't pay particular attention to the line play really. But he had a false start or two, which is fairly typical. I mentioned that Llewellyn was in the backfield a lot, he could have been the primary blocker on some of those plays but I can't say...

Yes, to your point, our passing game was pushing the ball down the field. Not a bunch of horizontal throws and screen passes. And as I said, we had some nice completions.

I went to the practice and I'll throw out a few tidbits that got my attention. I thought the two QB's that played the majority of snaps looked pretty darned good. I talking about Jackson Stratton and Hank Brown. Stratton looked pretty impressive on the first drive of the 11 on 11 portion of...

Albany and Iowa State? :)

Not sure when he signed but if McCollum left after he signed, he can transfer without needing to get released from his LOI. Unless I'm crazy?

I guess you can't have too many WF QB's from the portal.

Maybe it's the draw of going back home, I don't know. I can't imagine he will get much time on the field there. At best, a similar role to what he would have been here as a backup/short yardage guy.

I would like to see Traore come back. He needs more playing time and to adjust to the speed of the Big 10. Tadjo seemed like a little bit too much of a project, IMO.

From what I read, he tried to shop his services to Oregon prior to spring ball. They said no thanks, and they told Tennessee that he was looking around. I was watching Cowherd this morning. He said that someone "close to the family" called him and said that this wasn't about the money. That...

Out of all the players on last year's team, Cooper Koch might end up being the best of the bunch. Kid has loads of potential. And BMC is the guy that can unlock that potential on offense and defense.

This.

There was an article from The Athletic that was linked on here recently from several years ago that was about BMC when he was still at NWMS. It quoted Texas Tech head coach Grant McCausland speaking very highly of BMC (both were at different schools at the time). So this may have been a step...

Omaha really had some good steak houses back in the day and a lot have closed. The two you mention; I also remember Caniglia's, Mr. C's and Anthony's. They're all gone now.

They needed Doc Tom on the bench.

I agree with your takes. This is a poorly researched and written article. Lazy journalism. But that is more the norm in today's internet world.

I agree with this. The teams at the top are probably better for two reasons: 1) they have most likely picked up some really good transfers and 2) more players are staying longer in college because they aren't forced to jump to the NBA (or a lesser league) to make a living. But I do miss...

NIL has all but eliminated Cinderellas. You won't see a lot of #6-8 seeds making it to the final four any more.
