    Here is your problem, according to Rivals

    Pretty tough to compete on a weekly basis in the B1G when this is the most talented lineup you can run out there: Qb-James Vandenberg (***) offered by Nebraska, Northern Illinois, Northern Iowa RB-Damon Bullock (**) no offers FB-Brad Rogers (***) no offers WR-Keenan Davis (****) Arizona St...

    Ferentz On the Side: He References Hulk Hogan

    That is Kirk at his finest. It seems like about once a press conference he'll sneak one of those obscure references in there. I wonder if he and the other coaches before the press conference come up with a random reference and he has to find a way to work it in to the conversation. This week was...

    Let's Start From the Beginning

    If that is the case. ISU won the toss, took the ball. Then Iowa elected to have ISU go into the wind in the 1st and 3rd quarters. Why would Iowa make that choice. Wouldn't everyone in their right mind want to have the wind at their back in the 4th quarter? That is what I'm confused about, how...

    Based on what we know, does Iowa beat UNI?

    No way. UNI is still bitter from the last trip to Kinnick, throw in the fact that they narrowly lost to Wisconsin and face a wounded Iowa team on the ropes. It could get really ugly next weekend.

    Would Bielema leave Wisconsin for Iowa? I don't see that happening.

    Options?

    I think the most frustrating part is there isn't any separation between Iowa and any of their opponents. Maybe it is a commentary on D-I college football as a whole, but when was the last time Iowa really stomped somebody, physically dominated a team from the outset? It seems everybody hangs...

    Whenever Iowa loses the most vocal fans call for heads to roll. So my question is this, have we learned nothing from the firing of Tom Davis or even Steve Alford for that matter? Have we forgotten how far the program fell at the end of the Fry era? The number one rule when firing a coach is to...

    Let's Start From the Beginning

    My point is this, and apparently it was a misunderstanding on my end, but I was confused from the outset. The way I understood the coin toss was that it determined who started with the ball and the direction each team would go each quarter for the duration of the game. If a team deferred, that...

    Let's Start From the Beginning

    So in theory, if a team wanted to they could pick a direction to start the second half and it would mirror what happened in the first half? I'm totally confused. It seems like in a situation where the wind is blowing like crazy, if you don't win the opening toss you are totally screwed in terms...

    Let's Start From the Beginning

    So wouldn't Iowa automatically get the ball in the second half if ISU took the ball on the coin toss? Wouldn't it make more sense to make sure you have the wind in the 4th quarter instead of the 1st?

    Let's Start From the Beginning

    So did Iowa State defer on the opening coin toss?

    Let's Start From the Beginning

    How is it possible that Iowa can lose the coin toss and still be going into the wind in the 4th quarter? Wouldn't the team that loses the coin toss have the option of picking the field? Some clarification needed on this one if you please.
