Can't really go back to Hesse as the starter at this point, I would think. Appreciate the thought that a player can't lose his starting spot due to injury, but not sure anybody still believes that these days. Anthony Nelson is potentially very, very good. Hesse filled in nicely last year, but...

Thought the coaches were out of their mind to replace a serviceable punter with another scholarship punter last year. Kidd was not good last year. He's been instrumental this year. Thought Meier had no business starting the past year or two and highlighted Iowa's bad recruiting and attrition...

What is it about Indiana that makes us all worried (self included)? A few weeks back, Narinsky and Tate called out this one as a tough game on their podcast. Vegas obviously sees something. All of the Hawkeye site moderators are in this group. Their QB has some NFL quality traits, for sure...

Yes, VB had nice catches, but he wasn't even open (making the catches more impressive). Also makes Canzeri's game more impressive. Great win, but where were the TEs; and the receivers other than VB are a concern. Great, great win though, and the best teams win the ugly ones. Get healthy b/c...

Washington DC sports radio (the Junkies, for anybody that lives out here) gave Iowa some major compliments this a.m. when running through the ACC/B1G challenge results. These guys are pretty harsh at times. Their quotes for Iowa beating ND and Brey (who they seem to know and really like) were...

Too bad it's come to this.

I think he is an average QB, having a terrible year. However, continuing to play JVB appears to give the team the best chance to salvage the year, go to at least a bad bowl, and otherwise keep the wheels from completely falling off. That's not to say that its guaranteed by any stretch. But, if...

Frustrating. Hope that David Cato doesn't give Nico Law a call. This coming from a self-professed Ferentz kool-aid drinker and, further, with a 100% acknowledgement that I don't know the first thing about Xs and Os. Same head scratcher as Bernstine behind Sleeper in game 1 last year. Sigh.

Is there anybody left that still believes these guys are more than solid hard working players? We'd all love it if Morris was the next Greenway and JVB was NFL quality, but a Humpal Chandler comparison is much more in line with reality.

Anybody else surprised he was invited to the combine? A good player, but just a one year starter and not very big. Happy for the guy and would love to see an NFL career, but surprised by this. What am I missing?

"Jaleel Johnson Starting to have doubts about the future...what's going on with that place?"

Watching the best teams during bowl season, the difference between the top teams and Iowa the past two years is quite simple. Its not scheme and its not KOK, its talent. We need better players. Teams either have dynamic players or they don't. Use whatever term you want: "playmaker,"...

PhotoBlog - Crunch time! Players making super sacks and tough tackles around the NFL

Three buddies from NJ wanted to see what Iowa football and Iowa City game day is all about after hearing about it for years. So they bought 7th row tix on 30 yard line for MSU. Given that we are flying in and won't have tailgate stuff, what's the best pre-game experience for 3 Kinnick virgins...

Big deal, the team kind of stinks this year. Even the teams with top talent in every recruiting class have down years, albeit fewer of them. ND stinks every year with top talent. The "fire Ferentz" and "i am sick of the 'we are just Iowa' talk" has a great French Revolution feel (for most of...

Thanks

since this coaching staff won a BCS bowl and they still have their jobs?

Need up to 8 tickets.

Is he too small for the NFL (even assuming a few more pounds over the next two seasons)? Yes, he is already an excellent technician; great attitude; student of the game; probably all Big Ten before he is done. All true. Just wondering, given that OSU's center is listed at 6'5/300lbs.

The Big Ten is loaded with great centers this year. Who are the toughest linemen you've faced in the league? JW: I focus on the offensive lines as a whole, their mannerisms, focus in on trying to pick up little keys, hints of what types of plays they're about to run. I figure if I can get...
