    Dear People, It's the defense

    One touchdown in the last 33:52 would have been enough to have won the game, just ONE MORE TD! Yes, the defense was a tad bit exposed today, but they should not get blamed one iota more than the offense. The defense has almost always been the stalwarts who got no help from the offense. Yes...

    He didn't play more because he is a true freshman former gray shirt who only weighs 170 pounds and there are more developed and experienced upperclassmen that have earned the playing time. Also, he is a WR, not a TE.

    I definitely know where you are coming from. I have been a Kirk backer in the past as well, but I have had just about enough of his act as well. But the bald fact is that he will absolutely not be fired at any point in this season and it would take at least another 4-8 season this year for him...

    ...and it is definitely disappointing that the Hawks didn't look better against an inferior opponent, but there are still many positives that were seen today. This team is still learning how to win. Still way too many dropped passes. They made too many costly, bad penalties that killed drives...

    Fire Kirk now or wait to after the last game?

    Kirk Ferentz will be the head football coach at Iowa until he decides to retire, or his contract runs out. No matter what happens he will not be fired at any point during this season.

    This upsets me..

    Methinks ISUer simply enjoys stirring the pot, so I think you are just playing into his hands by arguing with him.

    This upsets me..

    Just as with anything else, a coach is "worth" what someone is willing to pay for it. Iowa has many built in advantages over ISU (being in the B1G, most of Iowa's population is in the eastern half, etc.), but Iowa is clearly disadvantaged when compared to many (most?) BCS teams and Iowa is a...

    I live in Ames, so, at least for me, that statement is false.

    This upsets me..

    Iowa State's all-time record against the Big Ten teams they have played (not counting Nebraska, never played Indiana, Michigan, Ohio St. or Penn St.): Illinois 1-3-2 .333 Iowa 18-39-0 .316 Michigan St. 0-2-0 .000 Minnesota 1-21-1 .065...

    This upsets me..

    I've had enough of this argument from you. Please name the last ISU coach, maybe you ought to go back to ISC as well, that has won 10 or more games in a season. Hmmm? Well??? Still thinking??? Kirk Ferentz has done it FOUR (4) times, with a nine win season as well. ISU, as well as ISC...

    Old Penn State Hash

    I certainly care about the truth. If you say there is little to no direct evidence, so far, that supports the notion that Joe Pa was involved in the aiding/abetting/cover up, I suppose I will have to believe you, because I have no desire to read the Freeh report. I don't have the time, patience...

    Old Penn State Hash

    Billso, what exactly is it again that you are arguing for? Yes, Penn State is getting the vast majority of the heat right now, but that is only because the Freeh report, which only investigated PSU's involvement, is the only investigation to have been completed and presented so far. All of the...

    Old Penn State Hash

    The previous post was much longer than I originally intended, so I will summarize and respond to Billso by saying that we don't need the Freeh report to tell us that PSU harbored a child rapist and the culture at PSU is why they did it. The penalties must be harsh and so called "innocents" must...

    Old Penn State Hash

    There is no bigger supporter of the ACLU, The Innocence Project and other organizations that deal with people's civil rights and protecting the rights we all have as Americans. It is my strongest conviction that emotion has NO PLACE in a court of law. People should be judged solely on solid...

    Billso I get the whole due process, credible evidence, everybody gets their day in court, innocent until proven guilty thing and that people should not be convicted without solid, credible, provable evidence, nor be swept away by a tide of revenge, outrage and irrational emotion, but I wonder...

    SMU/Penn. St.

    Six of the nine former SWC member teams (Texas, Texas A&M, Baylor, Texas Tech, Arkansas, TCU) are now currently in BCS conferences (Big 12 and SEC). SWC teams have won multiple national championships and Heisman awards. In its heighth is was basically on the same level as the SEC and Big 8...

    SMU/Penn. St.

    Penn State will rebound MUCH quicker and farther than SMU. SMU was given a one year (or 1.5 year?) death penalty, but they voluntarily chose to make it a full two years with no football. SMU also chose to deemphasize football and make it a much less important part of the SMU experience. They...

    My take on Penn State's reaction

    My response to them would be, if you have such a problem with the NCAA, you are free to leave it at any time.

    My take on Penn State's reaction

    Good to see. Thanks for posting that, Thunder. As with any large group of people, there will always be a certain percentage that will just not be happy, no matter what. It is good to see that the "adults" at PSU seem to be taking control of the situation. Most will eventually see their...
