    First CFP Ranking

    Where does Iowa land? Assuming we win the next 2 I wouldn't be surprised if we DONT make the top 5. Looking at the schedule our P5 opponents could have A LOT more losses. If Okla stays with the new guy and impresses, ohio state keeps rolling, etc.

    A good number not to know..

    ..is Desmond King's. I can't recall ever hearing the announcers mention his name. So he must be doing his job covering the receiver if the ball is never going his way. I was impressed by his development last year, and feel he might be that one quiet guy that helps in a big way that no one talks...

    Scheduling night games

    I work weekends and I work nights, so it's always a bit of a disappointment to see a night game on the schedule since I can't take time off that short of notice. Does Iowa still not schedule night games in November? Because it looks like only night game possibilities are in that month. If I...

    The back breaker

    With tons of momentum going into halftime I feel like MSU's opening drive of the second half just deflated the entire stadium. After that TD it seemed--at least from my couch--that the crowd was gone and the team had no fire, just going through the motions. It's gonna be sad to watch how...

    I could foresee THIS playing out..

    Since Hawkeye football is about the only thing I have to look forward to, I'm forced to think optimistically. Here's how I could see our season going. MO St--- Not damaged by the loss, the offense and defense play more consistently. Not a runaway, but still convincing win 31-10 range...

    Fitz will never be great

    Sure he has a lot of fire and a great motivator, but makes some really dumb coaching decisions. He's still a "fan" and not a coach. I HATE how after every interview he ends with "Go Cats"... And on fourth and 3, up by 25 just across midfield, you GO FOR IT?? Punt the ball away, try to pin us...

    CMU right guard

    I'm just trying to distract myself from the horrible ending to this game. Plus, I was a psych major, so it interests me. For anyone watching on TV, after the announcers pointed it out, did you notice the CMU right guard touching the center? As they came to the line, he wouldn't set, he would pop...

    Strange dream

    It was a couple nights ago. In my dream Iowa was playing Minnesota, early in the season. At first we were rolling like 35-0. Then Minnesota comes roaring back, leading like 70-35. Then things get foggy, but the score is something like 180-190 Minnesota ahead late, and we end up winning by 1 or...

    Probability

    So what do you suppose the probability is of this team surprising EVERYONE, overcoming the difficulty of so much coaching attrition and going 12-0 and winning the Champ game? I don't really think this will happen, but it's nice to dream about it. Personally I think the odds are about 1/100...

    Wisconsin game

    What channel does it air? I'd like to watch to see if this QB is what he's been hyped.

    Vandenberg, the offense, and Donahue..

    So what happened to Donahue? Did he not declare for the draft? Why did he not get drafted? Looking ahead to next year, I was watching the Insight Bowl and Coker is good, but I don't think he's THAT good--at least not yet--to run for over 200 yards against a good defense. That tells me the...

    Norm Parker..

    I miss you. I really, really miss you Norm. I understand that your health and well being come first, and I wish you a speedy recovery, but this team really needs you. All year, we had three coaches doing the job of four. Obviously, with you gone, the other three couldn't quite keep up with all...

    If we lose this game...

    Then I'll officially be disappointed in this season.

    Preseason Polls

    So I'm sure most of you think preseason polls are almost useless. I know I do. But here's my question: Since the inception of the BCS, how often has the previous National Champ gone to the NC game the following year? I would think it hasn't happened yet. If it hasn't, why do they always get...

    Okay I'm lost

    It's been a month or two since I've read anything about the Big Ten expansion, but it seems to be blowing up and turning into a complete restructure of several conferences. Last I heard, the Big Ten was going to add 2-5 teams to make a superconference, with Rutgers, Notre Dame, Mizzou, Nebraska...
