It's not a matter of technique, it's a matter of frame of mind.

He looks very talented. I'm holding judement for now. The offense he was running in was an assignment based blocking scheme on the line and a pistol/shotgun based backfield. He *could* look a lot different making reads out of the I with a zone blocking line in front of him.

I'm a Hawkeye fan. You raise good points. Facts are facts, I know the situation well enough to be able to speak confidently about it. Over time Iowa's approach will yield bigger fish on a national level. Let's just all remember that topic being discussed is recruiting within the borders of...

Rumors can get out of control. I heard the story of the phone call from Miller himself. Iowa can't recruit everywhere. But I do think it's a little weak that a lifelong Hawk fan (Miller) was beating down the doors and doing Iowa camps through high school trying to get a look. After a...

The real issue isn't that Miller is going to make or break either program. It's that the football office isn't playing as nicely as ISU in its own back yard. The phone call to Miller's coach has become a bit of a legend in local circles. Coaching circles at the Iowa HS level are pretty small...

All the focus on star ratings. The Miller kid that picked up an ISU offer last year enrolled early and contributed this season as a frosh. He was one that couldn't even get a response from the Iowa Football office when he sent tape to IC. Once ISU offered and he accepted his coach got a...

The real problem is money. Since 2002 this program has changed. The cost of attending games has increased dramatically. The BTN is forcing everybody to pay a B1G tax. Anybody supporting this team is spending a lot more to be a fan. With that added expense comes the expectation of a return...

I think if we lose this game the coaches have to take a serious look at running a package that puts Coker in at FB and one of the younger HB's behind him. It gets another playmaker on the field. Coker would be one of the most dangerous FB's in the Big 10.

...Edgar Cervantes running at tailback. Think about it.

Law was caught red handed in a blitz situation on TT's touchdown. He crashed down off the edge and showed his youth as the RB ran right by him. He'll be fine, but it was an aw sh** moment on the broadcast. Bullock was in the game late in the 4th and lining up as a wide out. Didn't see that...

I have a tremendous amount of respect for Bo Jackson. He is a fellow bowhunter and did something a few years ago I admire tremendously. I believe in '08 or '09 he was awarded a "governor's tag". These tags are given away to celebrities and hunting industry/media folks to come hunt in the...

It would be a great gesture to make that dog an honorary captain and have him standing on the 50 yard line during the national anthem for a game this fall.

1) It's ugly and completely misses the mark. 2) The trend toward sponsorhip for every single facet of college football dulls the experience. 3) The AD's ad ISU and UofI should be held responsible, even more so, than Iowa Corn on this trophy fiasco. It's up to the programs to protect and...

Vintage: 1) I'm not overly excited 2) I've expounded upon new points in the context of the evolution of the thread 3) Thanks for the kind wishes. It's obvious you're wanting to turn my participation in an uncivil direction with your snide remarks. I don't care to partake. 24: 1) The...

Yes, very personally. I'm still a Hawk fan and don't miss a game on TV. If I can score free tickets once a year I like to go. I am protesting the decision making of the athletic department with my best weapon, which is, the refusal to spend my money with them. I remember too many instances...

I quit buying tickets after the '03 season because 3 packs were my only real option. I have two kids who are multi sport athletes in a small town, which means I spend a lot of Saturday's in the fall at soccer games, softball tournaments, and flag football. There is no feasible way I can...

I didn't claim to become a Hawk fan in '04, nor did I emphasize any prior commitment to the program. The date range in my post pertains to the recent history of the game day atmosphere in IC. Especially during the Ferentz regime. Bowlsby started the ball rolling, Barta has given it a push...

The gameday culture in Iowa City has changed drastically since 2004. I vividly remember attending a minimum of 4 home games each season during Ferentz's early years thru '03. The '02 Orange Bowl season, on a "day in, day out" basis, was the best time to be a Hawkeye. When ticket sales...

Jon, after reading the items at the links below it sure sounds to me like a TV ban is very plausible. The comments by NCAA officials in the first link are haunting for OSU...high profile players need high level monitoring by the compliance office. This was an article written a year ago re...

It would. But this is an option the NCAA has exercised in the past. According to what I've read the Maine hockey program was banned from TV several years back. Given the importance of TV to NCAA football I'd argue that a TV ban might hurt worse than scholarship reductions. It could also...
