    Check out Rob's interview with Duce

    This is a fantastic new idea. Deuce is very, very mature and Rob asks good questions that let's the young man opine on who he is: a very grounded, competitive young man that will be a positive addition to our locker room and anyone's locker room. I look forward to more of these as the insight...

    New Offensive Assistant

    This appears to be a solid hire. BF will have two experienced Offensive Coordinators on staff. KO has good teaching experience at the next level and TP is experienced in setting very high goals and helping to accomplish them. My wish, dream and hope is that this may all mean that Iowa is...

    O'Keefe Returns to Iowa Staff

    I agree that the next two hires should be qualified, young aggressive coaches that will fit in well with the veteran staff and help BF stimulate recruiting. For me, it is about setting a high bar. No need to be "just Iowa". We have a lot to sell: Stability, great facilities, great player...

    O'Keefe Returns to Iowa Staff

    I think there are a lot of positives with this addition of KOK. Now you have two coordinators with NFL experience for receivers in TE's (BF) and WR's (KOK). The offense is likely to be built much like the Pats where BF came from with a lot of use of TE's and the need for a solid QB. Having...

    Thoughts about tonight's epic game

    If Scott would have fumbled before reaching the goal line and Iowa recovered to win everyone would be saying how great the defense was to deny MSU a score. There was very little difference between two good teams yesterday and it came down to Iowa not getting the ball last. With the benefit of...

    What if....

    I agree with this. What would the message be if this did not happen: Win every game on your schedule, win the B1G championship, beat 2 or 3 Top 25 teams (all on the road) and this is not better than an independent ND that picks its own schedule and where they play, has no conference games to...

    Predictions for CFP after Week 10

    There is a lot of football yet to be played, but after this weekend I think that the picture has become somewhat more clear. In my opinion, there are 14 teams that have a chance to be among the four playoff teams: Clemson, Alabama, Ohio State, Iowa, Notre Dame, Stanford, Florida, LSU, North...

    Hope CJB plays only one quarter on Sat

    North Texas has a SR QB from Iowa City. He had a terrible game against SMU and was better against Rice. Rice led 38-10 late into the 3rd Q before N. Texas scored 2 meaningless TD's. McCarney and McNulty (QB) will probably be a little fired up coming back into Iowa City. Anything can...

    Rudock and Michigan against Utah game thread

    Things did look pretty similar with respect to Rudock last night and how he performed at Iowa. It was just the first game and Utah is a good team. I think things will be different over the rest of the season. Michigan has some very good receivers. Their line will get better. JR will need to...

    FB Commit With Decent Offer List

    Welcome Kyle!! Glad to have you as a Hawk!! Big addition to our defense. We should be well stocked at LB when Kyle arrives in 2016 with Bower, Jewell, Niemann, Jinning, Hesse, Hockaday, Wilson and Outsey. Will give Taylor some excellent players to compete against helping the whole squad...

    Rudock Fires A Few Shots

    CP, I am not saying that JR is right or that KF misled him. I am just saying that JR's quote seems to be "a shot". Everyone is entitled to their opinions, but this remark when juxtaposed within the rest of the article seems to indicate (at least to me) that JR felt misled by KF. Your point...

    Rudock Fires A Few Shots

    I think this part of the interview: "He's not much of a sugar-coater, and I appreciate that philosophy because it's a lot more efficient to be honest and open from the start than to say something and rebuke it later." indicates that JR thought KF was opposite of this. I would take that as a shot.

    Team goals

    Getting back-ups playing time is a critical issue which could likely slow down the transfers. Hard as it might be to say, I think that KF is more focused on wins than even the fans. By this I mean, how you win or lose appears to be less important to KF than just getting a W. Consequently, we...

    Recruiting & Jake Rudock's old HS St. Thomas Aquinas

    The school that will benefit from future recruiting at St. Thomas Aquinas is Michigan. They have the brand to lure the top level talent that comes from this school and Harbaugh will make J.R. into a much more effective QB than Greg Davis/Kirk Ferentz. I think it is a given that Harbaugh can...

    Winning not not main focus to Kirk & program?

    I get it too. I graduated from college. We have a FB coach that sounds more like a player development director for the NFL than a coach that is dedicated to winning FBS championships. Of course, getting better is necessary to be in a position to win. Just saying that getting better is the...

    Tracking 2015 Class Offers

    I hope Iowa works hard to land Karan. He is a high quality kid as well as a very good athlete. His leadership skills are just as impressive as his football talent. Iowa is a great place for these type of players.

    ESPN Bias -- More Evidence

    Just got done watching ESPN's 2014 Outlook for the Big Ten. Throughout the show the commentators continued to drive home the point that the Big 10 has a reputation for being weak and that the conference was doing nothing to alter this perception with a weak non-conference schedule. This is...

    Aaron White Summer League Mix (EDIT: It's now Jordan vs. Bird)

    I think the Larry Bird was set back by his time with Bobby Knight and picking up trash before he went to ISU -- just kidding. I do think Aaron White the 2nd year collegian is much better than Aaron White the 1st year collegian who was much better than Aaron White the high school player. If he...

    DJK - "Hawkeyenation, I love you..."

    Dear DJK, Keep the love where it needs to be -- with your teammates and coaches. Fans come and go (just like friends). Family stays with you forever. The Hawkeye football team is family. Has been and will always be that under Ferentz. Families keep things to themselves when they need to...
