https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/39492371/ohio-state-hire-ucla-coach-chip-kelly-new-oc Wowza, this story has a lot of facets to it. Kelly was not fired as UCLA's head coach. He had the option to come back next year even though he has been basically .500 in his time there...

The other thread on this topic has gone off topic. Figure a fresh start might be useful. Names I heard from a buddy in IC (and I recognize this is internet scuttle) is that KF took Frost's call but has no interest. Chryst and Philben are legit candidates. Does not sound like an internal...

At the risk of alienating those who are not in the mood for anything positive about Iowa football right now, let me offer that attending the game this past weekend was a Top 5 Iowa football experience for a guy who has been an Iowa fan for 49 years. It was easily 5-1 Iowa fans. Everyone was...

Wow, the coaches were allowed to vent to the Commish for an hour without Harbaugh on the line. What I took away from this is how serious this really was. There were some folks out there that were dismissive of the seriousness of what Michigan was doing (everyone steals signs, this is no big...

If the refs had not jobbed us on the punt return, I think we all agree that there was less than 1% chance Minny drove and scored, and we win and go to 7-1. It would not change the offensive stats or performance one bit, but do you think Beth still has the juice to force this down KF's throat...

Can we take a break from beating up BF and give props to the OL??? Yes, there were a lot of 3 and outs. But, there was also a lot of push and no negative runs that I recall. 2nd and 8 was about the worst position we were in all day. In addition to push, there was occassional holes to bolt...

This was on the Today's Show this morning leading up to the Peacock broadcast tomorrow. Its 4 minutes, but worth the watch. I did not know this story. Finally some really good press for this team...

Look, I am mad too, and the national joke Brian Ferentz and offense have become is beyond pissing me off. But, hear me out. We have mostly played to the competition. We are pretty much what I thought we would be. We handled two home cupcakes with relative ease, and beat a not completely...

While I am excited to watch relevant and local college football tonight, its like choosing between getting hemorrhoids and eating a turd sandwich. That said, I will be rooting for the Goofers. Two reasons. First, I live amongst the Sand People and I now hate them more than the Goofers, even...

I am fine staying at 18 teams. You have one protected rival, and rotate the other 16 teams every other year. 9 game conference schedule, leaves room for non-con home and home games against another power 5. Also likely ensures there are 4 power conferences (albeit 2 of them are clearly...

I would have liked to see the guy spend a week or so in an orange jumpsuit as a message that this was somewhat serious, but I also get that a drunken bar fight is not the crime of the century. Is what it is...

We are getting spoiled with the number of national honors Iowa players have received the last few years. Excellent job, Kris! https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/35858470/zach-edey-trayce-jackson-davis-headline-ap-all-america-team

Around the 1:30 to go mark, if you were watching the game, you knew Iowa was going to lose. You lost faith and were pissed that every time Iowa would climb back into the game in the 2nd half MSU would drill a 3, we would miss a 3 and then MSU would make 2 free throws and be up by 7 again. By...

Since the dawn of the Fran era, fans have been disappointed in Fran's ability to recruit a "true" PG. The closest we have come was almost landing Uhlis' brother. The last four or so games, Uhlis has demonstrated an ability to break down his opponent and effectively take the ball to the hoop...

https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/2023/01/10/college-football-top-25-early-rankings-2023-season/10997285002/ Just one dude's opinion, but I like it.

Setting aside the tournament choke, last year was one of Iowa's best team's in recent memory. Can Iowa get back to that level with this year's squad? A quick comparison of the two squads: 5. Filip. There's another thread on this. Filip this year is much better that Filip last year. More...

When the rumors about McNamara got legs and came through, there was a lot of smoke from several sources indicating that we will lose a couple names in the portal (including a couple starters) but the fan base would be really happy with what we have coming in. The clear implication from these...

With Campbell winning the Butkus and Campbell awards for the first time in school history, I started thinking about all of the individual awards Iowa players have won under KF: Davey O'Brien Outland Remington Doak Walker Mackey Groza Butkus Campbell Joe Moore Lott Broyles Jim Thorpe...

Hear me out. To my understanding, the NCAA/conferences are really not regulating NIL deals in any meaningful way. Collectives are being established or big boosters are just writing checks directly to players. But, at a minimum, there has to be at least the appearance of a quid pro quo and I...
