The backup is always the best QB. That said, I hope Kirk can learn to play the 2nd team QB again. We really haven't seen that since Brad Banks. The backup QB is only a naked bootleg away from playing, it would be nice to see them have at least a few snaps of real action... I guess that is the...

Yep, but only on 3rd and 8.

Abo****inlutely it matters. There is a considerable amount of players that are not the best when it comes to practice, but throw them on the field and they kick ***....

This! Not sure Reese would be the one to implement that, but I think that that mentality is needed for this group. It would be a great for this group. They just seem to need a fire lit underneath them. They have the size and athletic ability.

Those are some bad stats(TFL & Sacks). The only way to go is up! This is the group that needs the most work in the off season training(other than receivers, and that will have to wait until the newbies are in town). This group should improve significantly.

You are right and the next 4 months could mean a lot of growth for the young ones. That would be good, as besides Alvis the whole line is young... They could surprise us. That is what I am pinning my hopes on for this Hawkeye team. Becasue I do not see the offense doing it...

This. We had 19 losing seasons in a row, and we still averaged 50,000 fans. Iowa Football is about the gameday experience, and not just the game. That said, it really does lighten the mood when we win!! Although, I prefer not to be associated with the losers from the northside. Since we...

I agree. 2014-2016 this group could very well be the best on the team. From what I saw, they did not have the drive or toughness that is needed. Youth & inexperience are the main factors tho. Jaleel and Faith are monsters. I hope they learn to explode off the line. If they do, the d-line...

Last years d-line was horrendous. I am on the pessimitic side for 2013. It seems we have the strenght, depth and size (we are BIG). But from some reason this group does not have 'it'. Hopefully it is just the youth and that will develop quickly... Whatever it is, an "injection of meanness"...

Opinions do vary.... My thoughts were different than yours. I thought Sokol looked the better. He seemed like the one playing with more experience, and he does have significantly more experience than the others. He has quicker feet and a release that is good and fast. He also threw a deep...

I figured your last story would have been about Hoiberg and the ISU violations. It will be interesting to see where that course runs, especially since they are now considered major... Alford. I only hope he rotts where he will most certainly end up.

Well, if you are throwing in Jok & Uthoff, the Lick's All-Time best does not stand a chance.... Ogs will drain them next year, too. Mark my words...I am saying close to freshman year stats. Although, he might not hit 47% from the 3 again. But...

Re: What are you more looking forward to? This year's FB season or next year's BB sea You do not need football tickets to tailgate. Of course, the university & city have done their best to kill the gameday. Which they have forgotten is a huge part of football. Period. Before Hayden, it...

Craig Neal is the highest paid assistant coach in the country. There is a reason for that...

Anyone know which bars/restaurants will have the Iowa game on over the ISU game? I am talking volume here, as just about every place will have both games on...

I do not know why they NCAA committees do not pick 3 of the top computer rankings and add that to the RPI. Then average the statistics. Then again I guess I do not know, maybe they do in some portion of the selection process.

Get ready for a long, long ride Farmer. Fran has a train going here, and it is not going to stop any time soon. This locomotive hasn't even come close to reaching top speed. We will be going to the NCAA tournament for at least a minimum of 3 straight years. There are no if's, and's or but's...

I do not care what anyone says or thinks, it would be sweet to not lose again for the remainder of the year.

The way Roy Jr played against Oregon in the 2011-12 season finale gave everyone high hopes for this year. He was amazing that game scoring over 30 points. If he would have played like that all year, he would be going pro... Regardless, he had a good year, minus the "slump". 2013-2014 will...

Fran could have scheduled an EASY non-conference schedule that had teams with higher RPI rankings. Live and learn... Although this is something that Iowa should have known for decades now. Just look at the MWC. Easy schedules, much higher RPIs, with playing crap teams.
