    Nebraska's scheduling-big advantage

    How did the Big Ten decide Nebraska would get it's bye week the second to last week of the season headed in to a "rivalry" game when Iowa will have to play on short rest. Explain that one to me, Delaney.

    The Selection Committee

    I will preface this by saying I don't think Iowa is making the tournament, but.... What ever did happen to the eyeball test? Has the selection committee just beome totally reliant on rpi and statistics rather than actually watching these conference tournament games? If so that is just...

    2013-14 Schedule

    Has anyone heard anything as far as who Iowa is trying to schedule non-conference next season? Obviously playing a weak non-conference has hurt the squad in a lot of "experts" eyes this season. Just curious if anyone has any idea? Obviously nothing is official yet.

    If you were Ferentz...

    Why would you really care about making any changes that might make you have to work harder or learn new things? He knows he was handed an absurd contract based off of one season that will set him up for life. If someone told me that they were going to grossly overpay me for ten years and...

    NIT apparel?

    Any place selling any? Or is there just no market for it?

    Future Football Schedules

    Does anyone know if we had an opponent fall through scheduling wise the couple of years? Otherwise it is hard to explain why our non-conference scheduling is so incredibly soft. I think it would do a lot for the program to schedule some tougher games to gain more national prominence. At the...

    It's ok to say Ferentz needs to go...

    And still appreciate what he has done for the program in the past. I don't think it's a good idea to stay in any position for too long, not matter what line of work you are in. A fresh start would not only be good for the program which has hit a plateau. I also think it would be good for...

    I WAS getting excited about this season but...

    I was beginning to get cautiously optimistic about the upcoming season, but then I talked to a high school coach I know who sat in on a couple Iowa practices a week or so ago. He told me that the team looks extremely slow and unathletic compared to other teams he has seen. Not that this...

    Iowa's Final Possession

    Forgive me if this has been already discussed, but did anyone else think it was nuts that Ferentz and O'Keefe just went in to an empty backfield shotgun formation immediately. They only had one timeout left at that point with less than 3 minutes to go. Especially with how poorly the defense...

    Question on player conduct for everyone

    I was in town for the game this past weekend and was staying at the Riverside Casino. Got back to the hotel around 1 am, and was playing blackjack until about 3-3:15. I spotted a well known Iowa player also there playing at the tables. He's definitely of age, so there was nothing illegal...

    Evanston Area Bars

    Going to the game this Saturday with some buddies and was wondering if anyone knew from prior experience if there are any bars open early in Evanston on game days?

    Chances of Iowa in the BCS

    What does everyone here think of our chances of making a BCS bowl if we win out? And obviously that is a huge if. I believe all of the remaining games will be nerve racking. Even the Minnesota game. Especially if they are playing for their first Big 10 win. Don't see Wisconsin losing, so...

    We were out-coached again today

    Similar to the Wisconsin game, our staff was out-smarted again today. Clearly Indiana saw something about our red zone tendencies and exploited it. It wasn't like the offense was just missing open opportunities. There was nothing there. Ferentz and O'Keefe's lack of ability to make...

    Time to drop the Clones

    I'm not sure what the ins and outs are as far as the contract with Iowa State, but in my opinion it is hurting Iowa by keeping them on the schedule. If the Hawks want to maintain national prominence, they need to schedule a lot tougher year in and year out. The Cyclones are a BCS team in name...

    Question about the site...

    Will there ever be an area on the site to search recruits listing Iowa as a school on interest, similar to the Scout.com site?

    All the Verbal Fellatio for Forbes...

    I don't get it at all. There are all these people who acting like he's "the man" for the job. Did anyone really know who he was prior to two weeks ago? My guess is not many. There is a reason that the guy is 45 years old, been coaching for over 20 years, and never even been mentioned for...

    Iowa-Ohio State tickets?

    This is a shot in the dark, but does anyone by chance have tickets to the Hawks vs. Ohio State in Columbus November 14th. I am going to be in Cincinnati for the Cincy-West Virginia game Friday night and would love to see the Hawks the next day. Anybody?
