    Does Iowa have a QB that can be good next year

    Anyone can get hurt. Petras and McNamara were both good sized and spent a lot of time hurt on the sidelines. Tate played damn near every snap for three seasons. That said, I agree that we should have a strong QB rooms with competition and options. Prior to this season, we seemed to have a...

    Iowa fans are fed up with the pettiness of a former Hawkeye hooper

    The McCaffreys as a clan always seemed to think they were unfairly under attack by Iowa fans and what passes for Iowa media. Really? Unfair? Starting with the patriarch, who was paid millions of dollars to act like Jojo The Monkey Boy out on the court at times, and who could not back up that...

    Does Iowa have a QB that can be good next year

    You don't get to be a 4 star QB with high major offers at 5'10 unless you throw a very accurate ball and can make plays with your feet. If he does resemble Drew Tate---and I have heard that comparison more than once---then color me excited.

    Michigan has a coach

    You can bag on Michigan all you want for the turnover they have had at HC the last couple decades, but they keep trying and don't settle for above average. And, as tainted as we believe it to be, they have a nattie in their trophy case this decade. This was a better coach than they deserved...

    Does Iowa have a QB that can be good next year

    I am excited about Helliski and believe he has the tools to be a productive QB if given the keys to the car. Injury is always a concern with a smaller QB, but injuries can happen to anyone. I am not a fan of Brown. Its not fair to judge him on the limited play we saw of him this year, but if...

    Iowa State has been decimated

    Will this happen to Iowa when KF retires? Maybe, but not necessarily. I think we all hope and believe that the KF replacement will be more orderly and planned. He isn't going to get lured away by another program during bowl season and signing period. I actually hope there is an announcement...

    Iowa State has been decimated

    You guys have pretty short memories. This same thing happened to Iowa in MBB last year. Seemed to turn out ok. I agree with others, this is just the way that it works these days. Washington State has a bunch of kids in the portal too. Not as many as ISU. The new coach will probably bring...

    LeVar to Michigan State

    Also, by the time KF does hang them up, I am guessing Parker is closer to 65. At that age, reporting to a new boss can be...shall we say...tedious. I bet they retire together.

    LeVar to Michigan State

    As far as I know he is not the CO DC. Just Associate HC and LBs

    Joe Moore Award

    Michigan, Bama, and Iowa. Only schools to win it twice. Obviously, its a relatively new award, but still cool. #OL U

    LeVar to Michigan State

    I am fine with Woods leaving and getting experience under a different banner. Fitz is a very good coach, and while he has had a love/hate relationship with Iowa, of late, he has obviously been friendly to the program sending his son here. I think he and KF have a genuine respect for each other...

    DeJean commits

    With that sort of size and speed, and assuming he has at least some of his brother's freakish athleticism, he could be an incredibly dangerous TE. Love it when we land legacies. No way he is a 5 star. Not playing against the competition he plays against. But, like his brother, he could be...

    Pavia

    With less size and talent. No thanks.

    LeVar to Michigan State

    I was expecting to find Fry in a broken state when I logged on today. He is taking the loss of his golden boy KF replacement better than I expected. Thoughts and prayers are with you, Fry. :) Woods was in third place to be the internal replacement for KF, which is highly unlikely to happen...

    Moore Gone at Michigan....

    I also don't think they have to have an AD in place to find a permanent coach if they can decide who will be making the decision on the hire. If they got a really big name, that person is not going to give a shit about who the AD is. Mike Tomlin doesn't need to worry about whether his AD is...

    Why Owen, why?

    Agreed. Ben seems to get the very most out of his players. I think we are better than most in the conference, so finishing in that second tier is reasonable. That said, there are going to be nights on the road where the better half of this conference is going to make us look like we are a...

    Vanderbilt

    At first I was a bit surprised that Pavia was even playing. What's the upside? Seeing that he is a late round grade, at best, I guess he figures that a productive performance against a good Iowa defense might help his draft stock. But, if Iowa knocks him around and gets some turnovers.....

    Creighton vs Xavier FS1 5:30

    Freeman seems to be in the dog house. Some of his minutes were garbage minutes too. Its funny because Mac and Fran play a very similar brand of ball in that they don't value D and want to get the ball up and down the court. But, they always want their big to be able to protect the rim at...

    Why Owen, why?

    I don't see this team losing to teams they should beat. They have a mental toughness that is fused into them by their coach. So, unless one of the big boys is coming into Carver, I think we win most of the games at home. I also see Iowa taking care of the few bottom dwellers of the conference...

    Moore Gone at Michigan....

    Back on topic, the Michigan (interim) President basically said yesterday that they are investigating the athletic department up and down, and won't hesitate to let head's roll if there was other bad behavior. If I was that AD, I would not buy green bananas at the mess hall. There is also very...
