There is ZERO reason I can think of that we shouldn't be able to secure at least one or two highly ranked running backs and a handful of highly ranked lineman a year.. that's our deal.

PC: We also did finish in the Top 10 multiple times in those years and even though we did lose to teams ( at times) that had less talent than us.. we were at least ranked in the Top 25 at various times during those years. Currently we haven't been ranked since November 2010.. In my opinion...

Completely agree with the above Hawkfnntn.

I don't buy the coaching thing either really.. Sorry. Honestly, how successful are you going to be against Big Ten teams handing the ball to Weisman, or throwing to Vendenburg, or rushing a passer with our D ends or trying to shed blocks and chase down running backs with the 3 linebackers we...

No offense but I also don't buy the "young" argument. I have watched more football the last month than I care to admit and the amount of "young" players that are contributing heavily in these games is high. Unlike many years ago, players entering college these days have typically played...

Last week we put out a new depth chart heading into 2015. If you want to know why we are struggling right now go through the following exercise. Take a look at the listed starters and do some quick research as to what those players were rated coming out of high school and more importantly who...

Disagree Hawkinn3: If you are a team who is designed to throw the ball around, spread the field, capitalize on big plays, etc. , having to play in freezing cold and wind severely hampers the way you are designed to play. A primarily run first team who is strong on the interior and weak at the...

Just making sure I read that correctly.. So on the day that the Hawks beat Iowa State for the first time in 3 years you were disappointed in the quality of your soup? I'm hoping that was some sort of reference to our former wide reciever coach or something :)

The Polk County I-Club is hosting a gamewatch party tomorrow beginning at 11am at Jimmy's on 8th street in West Des Moines. Plenty of food/ drink specials, raffle, TV's, etc. Come cheer on the Hawks with fellow Hawk fans! On Iowa

I have seen him play multiple times this year. Take this for what it's worth: I would be very surprised if he is still being recruited to the level he was earlier in his high school career. Merely a basketball observation, I don't know him at all.

Saw it last night and couldn't turn it off. Very well done and interesting on many, many levels. I would recommend it to anyone who had a chance to watch it.

Swirlin': I think you are failing to assign enough value to the importance of the things you describe with tongue in cheek to an 18-22 year old kid. Anyone see the video of the Okie State coach doing that stupid dance in the locker room? Do I EVER expect KF to do something like that? Hell no...

Thread destined for failure...

Clearly, this thread has turned somewhere I don't think the OP had intended. Anyway, I will respond to the initial question: I was in a fraternity at Iowa. Certainly one of the more involved and active on campus. Full of really good guys, many of whom were accomplished high school athletes, just...

By good fortune 3 weeks ago I was at The Swamp for Florida/ LSU, followed the next week by The Big House for the Iowa game. I have been to Camp Randall, The Shoe, Memorial Stadium (Nebraska), Arrowhead, etc. All of those venues can be exceptionally loud. 4th Quarter last week in Kinnick was...

Just my 2 cents worth on a good July topic: I don't think things have changed dramatically in my 25 years of going to games in Kinnick. It remains one of the toughest places to play in the country, no question about it. I do believe, that from game to game the noise level can vary based on a...

Oh please! Just like Alabama would beat the Detroit Lions. Come on! Can we put this silly notion to bed? Iowa would beat Ames in a name the score. That's not taking away anything from Ames as they are a great high school team, but Jared Cole would have a field day inside against them. I'm...

Ames looks good but anyone of you who have been trying to argue that Ames High would beat Iowa are riduculous!! That would be a complete blow out. Let's never revisit that thread.
