Charlie Weis leads the pack this year. Ferentz has the honor of second place. College football's most overpaid coaches

Let me start by saying I expect the same vanilla presser this week and as much as I'd like to see the media ask more than softball questions I know it's not reality. However if I were in the room I would feel these are the questions I would ask; 1. During the last 2 minutes of the first...

Anyone one know when the Iowa-Michigan game time will be announced? Any chance it will be a night game?

Time to stop fighting amongst ourselves and start poking fun at the next opponent. Here's a list of this week's contestants; Official Football Roster - Missouri State University Official Athletic Site

I'm really trying not to be Debbie Downer after last week's loss. I think it was a good measuring stick for this team. I'm not sure I feel that way about this week's match-up. Its against an FCS team that hasn't had a winning season in at least 3 years. SWMS is not even close to the level of...

With the recent talk of Pierschbacher changing to Alabama it brings up the concern Iowa isn't an attractive place to football recruits. I agree Iowa has pros and cons, as do all schools. However I still can not accept the premise that Iowa is at a some major disadvantage when it comes to...

My heart really goes out to DJ right now. First all the crap with his brother and now an Uncle killed on a moped this weekend. Aaron Hernandez's uncle killed in moped accident - NFL News | FOX Sports on MSN Keep you head up young man!

Nice write-up about a kid who has/had cancer and how rivals can still support one another. The last line in the article is my favorite. Hoke gets tickets for cancer patient

Wow... Charlie's buy-out is more than the current coach is earning. With those kinds of buy-outs maybe Barta could AD for Notre Dame sometime in the future. Buyout of Charlie Weis may cost Notre Dame $19 million | Yardbarker.com

I've heard it thrown around this board from time to time (and I may have even used it myself a time or two) that Ferentz likes to "play the percentages". What exactly does that mean? I understand it in terms of something consistent like Black Jack or Poker where there are only a certain...

Steve Alford: I only owe New Mexico $200K

As I logged on to Hawkeye Nation today I was greeted by a warning blocking the site and directed to a website. Firefox Website Warning | StopBadware I've been getting a lot of s-c-r-i-p-t errors while on HN (on both home & work computers). Can anyone computer savy tell me what's going on?

I'm headed to Chicago this weekend and have been to Soldier Field once before for a Bears game. I remember parking in the McCormick "underground" parking area and it wasn't too bad. I was hoping folks here would have some better ideas. For instance there is a huge parking area between...

Report: Sugar Bowl CEO lobbied to keep suspended Ohio State Buckeyes players eligible - College Football News | FOX Sports on MSN Ethics, Schmethics. Money talks at the NCAA.

Can someone give a run down on (or point me to a place I can research) where we are with scholarships? (i.e. How many (if any) are still open for 2010?, How many come available in 2011? etc..)

Look! No buyout if we wait until May 2nd. Barta can save money in that regards! Okay, so I'm kidding. It will never happen, but I thought the no termination fee after May 1st was worth mentioning.

I know some will try to be bravado and claim Lickliter's been mailing it in and not earning his salary but I don't for a minute believe that. Lickliter has been giving us his best. Whether that has been good enough is another story. But if you're Lickliter, how do you feel after a day like...

I received a comment under my reputation but can't identify who it came from or from what thread they were commenting. Is there anyway to identify these two things?

Trying to look forward and get my mind of a crappy last couple of days for Iowa Basketball what signs of life should we be looking for tonight? Particularly... 1. How do we avoid the 5 minute scoring drought we seem to have every game? 2. How do we limit McCamey's scoring threat while...

I was kicking around if I should do this as a blog as opposed to a post, but I'd like to hear folks opinions on this. I am looking at the current status of the Iowa basketball program and began thinking back about Alford and trying to piece together some "accountability" for the current...
