    No, this wasn't the performance any of us was hoping for...

    ...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...

    My take on Penn State's reaction

    The greater Penn State nation, at least the most vocal and visible factions of it, certainly seems to not be reacting to the penalties and to the whole sordid situation as well as the NCAA and the rest of the country had hoped they could and might. There is a lot of disconcerting and...

    Sally Mason: B1G may still act

    University of Iowa President Sally Mason is the chair of the Big Ten's council of presidents and chancellors. On Thursday she told the Register that the Big Ten may still act. Iowa president: Big Ten has 'jurisdiction' to punish Penn State - CBSSports.com If the NCAA doesn't give Penn...

    Anybody know of any new freezers being delivered in the IC area recently???

    Simple answer to replace BCS

    Why would a "plus one" system not make nearly everyone happy? Go back to the bowl system that existed before all of this BCS garbage started. 1. - Personally, I would love to get rid of half of the "minor" bowl games that hardly anybody outside of the two teams playing in them care anything...

    Ferentz, O'Keefe and Parker and expectations

    What do they all have in common, besides being football coaches at Iowa? They all have as much job security as a college football coach can have and will all, very likely, leave the University of Iowa on there own accord. Its a free country and this message board was made for such discussion...

    Its official...

    Dantonio is a classless D-Bag. Up 31-7 runs a double reverse pass, then a fake FG. Yeah, he's running up the score.

    Looking at Minnesota's remaining schedule

    I hate to say this, but after checking out the games that the Gopher's have remaining, I have to think that their game against the Hawks is their best chance to get another victory. Now, I'm not saying they have a good chance, and I am definitely not predicting that they will beat us, but if...

    Ballard, Reisner and Olsen make final cut with Vikings!

    Christian Ballard was expected to make the team, given his high draft status, but free agents Allen Reisner and Seth Olsen knocked off veteran players to make it onto the Vikings 53 man roster. Congrats to all! Now there are four Hawks on my favorite NFL team! Purple Pride! Also, former...

    I think that KF does not "get" public relations...

    Coach Ferentz is a very intelligent, talented, capable and perceptive person, but everyone has their blind spots, and KF's biggest blind spot is undeniably public relations, especially as it works in the 21st Century. KF is a person that believes in substance and not style, execution and not...

    The Big Ten Should have its championship game outside every year!

    The Big Ten should celebrate who we are, not run away from it! We are *the* preeminent northern football conference. We are the college equivalent of the NFC Central/North. We are the NCAAs "Black and Blue Division!" The SEC couldn't have a truly cold weather championship in SEC territory if...

    Mark it down: Iowa beats Ohio St!

    Losing to NW is vile, detestable and infinitely frustrating, but I don't think this team will quit. They still have a ton of talent on this team and they now have nothing to lose. OSU will get Iowa's best shot and they will win!

    I am usually one of the optimistic, silver lining people

    after a loss. Even though Iowa losses always hurt, and I think constructive criticism is fair and essential, I usually am able to also see what the Hawks did right and find some positives. I am still very positive about Iowa's future and am 100% behind Kirk Ferentz, but this loss, and the...

    Notre Dame may be forced to pay only $7500 for death.

    Indiana is a very conservative state. Indiana's very pro-business laws make it extremely difficult to sue large entities for much money. ESPN.com's Lester Munson writes: "As a worker who had no dependents, Sullivan is limited to a payment of a $7,500 death benefit, according to Brad Varner, a...

    Will Texas become bowl eligible?

    After a really BAD loss to Kansas State (KSU was up 39-0 when the 4th quarter started), the Longhorns are 4-5 and in dead last place in the Big 12 South. They need two wins to become bowl eligble. They have three home games remaining against Oklahoma State, Florida Atlantic and Texas A&M. I...

    Whoa! Meltdown in progress!

    I think I'll just step back and give you guys some space to throw your little tizzies and tantrums here, and I'll be back when people are calm and rational again. This loss hurts a lot for all of us. Obviously, we each find our own ways to express our pain. Trying to be somewhat positive...
