I just feel like yes, Iowa football still works ... but the quality and excitement is somewhat like a VCR tape. While schools like Oregon make me think of Netflix. Oh where or where have my Hawkeyes gone. Thirty-five years as a diehard and former season ticket holder and I-Club board member...

In 35 years I have never seen an ISU team flat out embarrass Iowa on the basketball court. Year #5 of Fran and we look like a team that is lost, has no athletic ability, and nobody who can create a shot. Embarrasing ... ISU is toying with us... Wow

Can't make the trip now ... I have 2 tickets in the Iowa section (I bought the tickets through the Iowa ticket office). If you are interested in the tickets then reply to this message. Just want the tickets to go to a good home ... I will give them to an Iowa fan ... but if you are planning to...

A buddy and I are heading to DC for a weekend of football. Redskins on Sunday and the Hawks on Saturday. I no longer have season tickets so just curious if anyone had thoughts for the best avenue to start pursuing to see if I can find two tickets with other Iowa fans. Thanks in advance.

Watched the game again. Was fun to see. Nice to see the Hawks of old. As I was watching the 4th quarter, it looked like CJ had a false start on the play where Weisman ran his 4Q TD. I replayed it step by step and CJ looked like he was moving before the ball was snapped. Glad they didn't call it...

First half Hawks looked good. Second half, Northwestern made adjustments and our defense was on the field way too much. I think we can all agree this Iowa team was not going to compete for a Big 10 title. I have been frustrated with the direction of the program and have tempered my expectations...

Hmmm ... So when does one start looking at the job Mr. Barta is doing over there in Iowa City. This is not something a school wants to see ... Iowa ranks last when it comes to Big Ten sports in 2012-13 | Hawk Central

April 1 ... Sorry meant to include in headline ... Gessell and Woodbury playing in an all-star game. Don't remember specifics but did remember the day and time ... It will be a replay and not shown live. Will be neat to see how they do ...

Well done. Holy cow. I blasted the volume on tv at least 3/4 of way up -- absorbing all that noise. Have not heard Carver rocking like that in quite some time. Kudos to everyone who made the trek to the game. Wow. Now that was fun to watch on tv. I was cheering up a storm .... Unfortunately for...

Okay ... not a shocker that Kirk hired from within. I think the majority of us knew deep down it was going to happen. And I know this past week we were teased a bit in thinking Kirk might hire from outside the program. I am just curious if we hired the best available? Or did we simply shuffle...

Just curious how long Barta will let mediocrity exist within the women's program. I don't follow the women's team too much but Bluder is someone who seems to have held onto her job about five years longer than she should have ... My world does not revolve around how the women's program performs...

Iowa football is on a slippery slope. We have underperformed for two seasons now (especially last season). There is cause for concern -- as fans and as an athletic program. We used to see Iowa teams get stronger as the season progresses. Instead, the opposite has taken place the past two...

Just love how Fran does not sugar-coat things. He doesn't embarrass players but he is not afraid to make comments about what they could have done better. On Basabe: Fran said he pulled him out; not to embarrass him or berate him ... but to talk to him ... and then he put him back in. Fran is a...

Okay ... a day away from the keyboard did me some good. I did a little lurking last night to get a vibe of what is on Hawk fans' minds. So I decided to sit down and pen a novel (hey, I write for a living) ... No doubt this loss hurt. And it hurt a lot. This is and was a bad Minnesota team. There...

Did not realize how bad UCLA is. Arizona is taking them to the woodshed. I think Rick Neuheisel's days are numbered at the end of the season ...

Comments from Kirk Ferentz call-in show (Apologies in advance for any typos, etc. Sidenote: Nothing earth-shattering here. Pretty boring show this week and boring questions.) On bye week: went well. Seems like 3 weeks since we played, good chance to work guys and get rest. Much needed...

Heading to Colorado Springs on Friday to spend some time with a buddy ... Anyone know a good bar to catch the Hawk game? Thanks in advance!
