Remember when most of us felt Colt McCoy was gipped as a junior, when Texas beat Oklahoma but was robbed of a conference title game, because they lost on a fluke last second play to Tech, and OU went to the title game? Let me give you a Big-10 scenario for next fall. Iowa & Nebraska both...

It will be fun playing for the spot in our league championship game. Non-conference losses & losses to teams in the other division are NOT as important as games vs. division foes. The SEC has had this spectacle for a decade now. Tie-breakers will be all we're talking about in November! It is...

Do you folks remember when the A.P. poll (before there even was a USA/Coaches poll) only ranked 20 teams in fb/bb instead of 25? How long has that been? 20 years? or less? Anyway, in basketball (based on what's important to fans in this age) it might make more sense to rank a top-24 or a...

Earlier this week i charted a two-deep for the 2011 team. O-line: Reiff, Gettis, Zusevics, Gettis, Ferentz. Looks very good. D-line: Daniel, Daniels, Binns. Tough. Recievers: McNutt, Davis, Herman & Fedorowiz. Very formidable. Backfield: Vandenburg, Rogers & Coker. Lots of promise. Linebackers...

The Iowa Hawkeyes finished the 2010 season in a 3-way tie (with Illinois and Penn State) for 4th place in the Big-10 conference with a 4-4 record. Michigan and Northwestern finished tied for 7th place with losing 3-5 records. (OSU, MSU & Wisky shared the title) Yet the conference coaches...

I realize there's one game left in the conference FB season for 10 teams, but I thought I'd throw out my choices/predictions for 1st, 2nd, 3rd team all Big-10 teams (skill positons) and see what kind of discussion it stirs up. QB: 1st team: T. Pryor (OSU); 2nd team: D. Robinson (Mich); 3rd...

We just faced the most explosive offensive team we will face in the reguar season. We won. Things look good. Ricky Stanzi is one of the top-5 rated quarterbacks in QB efficiency in the nation, after 7 games. The color commentator for ESPN today (a tool) did not like the way Ricky threw the...

I think Iowa got about the best division slotting we could have hoped for. I'm just curious Jon. Under coach KF, what has the Hawks total record been against Minnesota, Northwestern, Michigan, Michigan State & Nebraska (yes please include the two losses to the Huskers in the total...

I'm already looking at week-to-week inseason for next fall. First two games at home. "Trap" game in Tuscon that our staff will NOT allow the team to fall into like when Drew Tate led us down there last time. It may sound funny, but I think the Ball State game is crucial. We MUST improve each of...

How come nobody I've read has lamented the fact that Adrian Claborne has not been able crack the top-6 DE's in the country and snag a top-3 All American team so far this award season? I believe NFL scouts are more perceptive and will draft him in the first two rounds. Unfortunate for us...
