    Indiana

    Its not just the wins, it is the way they won. That offense is lethal and the defense is good too. Illinois at Iowa is probably a push. Indiana at Iowa State would be a damn good game. Indiana has a Top 10 win at home. Iowa has a Top 10 loss on the road. Certainly possible those would...

    Predictions - Indiana

    I am on record that if it is close, Iowa wins. Kinnick magic does it again. 24-21, FG with 22 seconds on the clock. I think it is just as likely that Indiana blows Iowa out, but not quite as bad as Illinois. 17-38 Gotta be a homer, so I will go with the close win!!! Go Hawks.

    Wetjen killing it

    You said that Wetjen is "generational." That means he is like a once in a generation talent, at least at Iowa. People like Caitlyn Clark fit that description. Maybe Luka Garza. Lindy was a generational center for Iowa. I assume you meant that KW is a generational return guy, and my point is...

    Indiana head coach Curt Cignetti previews Iowa football, taunts Illinois after blowout

    For what it is worth, of the 8 big games this weekend involving ranked teams, this was the only one Cowherd could not pick. He made the other 7 picks easily. He wrestled between Kinnick being a huge factor, whether its a letdown game, but then he mentioned the beatdown they gave Illinois. He...

    Wetjen killing it

    Hmmmm. I like KW a lot. He is a great talent and glad we got him. But generational? Let me poke a hole in that this way: would you rather have Wetjen or DeJean returning punts? Even if that is a close call to you (its not to me, I'd take DeJean every day and twice on Sunday), it sort of...

    Know Your Opponent - A Look At Hawkeyes

    Indiana fans have not been good long enough to be delusional and cocky. They leave that to OSU and Michigan fans. Nebbie fans are like former delusionally cocky jerks who have been in an abusive relationship with their team for 25 years.

    Odds Against Indiana

    Honestly, our LBs are not all that great in coverage. Might as well send them head hunting the QB. That said, I suspect we will give up some big plays. We do not exactly have lock down guys in the secondary. I still might opt for a bend but don't break D, and hope we can draw some mistakes...

    Wetjen killing it

    Less than 5 yards deep, yes. Bring it out. 5-10 yards. Ehhhhh. You risk getting snagged at the 15 yard line and/or drawing a penalty that can put the offense in a pickle. The 25 is a fine starting point. Pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered.

    Gundy’s Toast

    Just to be bowl eligible, Wisky has got to beat the three unranked teams on their schedule, and knock of one of the ranked teams off. Given how they have looked to date (not really even putting up a fight against Maryland), this seems highly unlikely. I would not be surprised if Michigan beats...

    Jaz is Out

    Further proof that KF's weekly depth chart is total horseshit.

    Wetjen killing it

    To be clear, no one is suggesting that in the middle of the kick return he should have been trying to find the clock. That said, every player has a clock in his head. More importantly, the coaches should have given him a rough yardage to get down. 35-40 yard line. Maybe the coaches did not...

    Gundy’s Toast

    That's actually pretty cool. He has been there for 21 years and has been the heart of their program. Why not let him at least have a voice in the next hire. He cannot be overly pissed about being canned. This is big boy football and the results aren't there anymore. No one likes to be told...

    Gundy’s Toast

    I always thought Gundy was the Big 12s version of KF. Been a round a long time. Generally in the upper half of the conference. Nationally relevant every once in a while, but not consistently. Made the news a few times for off the field stuff, but generally pretty well regarded nationally...

    Wetjen killing it

    If he slid down after the clock had expired, then we would know the culprit. He was told to get down before the clock ran out, and just did not execute. I can live with a physical mistake made during the heat of a play. What bothered me is that in that play he showed no intention of getting...

    Wisconsin Fans Booing Team Down 20 at Half

    Pollard is not going anywhere. He is safe, beloved, and has built something out of nothing. He would be a fool to leave the safe confines of The Big Top. Besides, schools don't back up the Brinks Truck for ADs like that. Regards, Trev Alberts and Texas A&M

    Hawkeyes vs Indiana Week 5 Depth Chart

    Yes. So far its been difficult to understand why Washington is in the rotation. Four games, and I don't recall him having a meaningful play. I would rather see the freshman at this point.

    Wetjen killing it

    Disagree. Players in all sports monitor the clock (ya know, the giant blinking thing shown in both endzones in every field in America) while play is going on. QBs must do it, point guards must do it, even MLB pitchers have to do it now. It happens all the time. More to the point, this is...

    Iowa And The CFP

    This. The only path is 10-2. It actually probably doesn't have to be a loss to Oregon or Penn State, because if it is to someone else, that means you beat both of those teams. So, it could be USC on the road. The point is, if they are 10-2, the two losses are to ranked teams, and you have at...
