    Chauncey Golston

    Nixon has received a lot of well-deserved love this season. But Golston better be recognized as a 1st-team all Big Ten DL. As KF said last week, he is a prototypical Iowa player who got better and stronger over five years, did his part as a backup and then shined as a leader on this team. The...

    DL Next Year

    Jumping ahead a bit, but a strong DL has been key to Iowa's run the last three years. If guys like ZVV and Austin Schulte leave, next year's crew is awfully young ... I wouldn't be shocked to see Waggoner move inside to DT beside Shannon, with Evans, Craig, Lee, and Black rotating at DE...

    Positive Surprises

    Obviously a frustrating start to the season (in addition to the off-the-field issues) given 3-1/4-0 seems so close, but might as well focus on some of the unexpected highlights: - Zach VanValkenburg - Really improved both year-over-year and through the course of the season. Seems likely to use...

    Need to Upgrade Nonconference Schedule

    http://es.pn/23UQiQk I am far from the first to propose such a suggestion, but Iowa fans need to put pressure on Barta and company to upgrade the nonconference schedule. Beyond ridding the schedule of FCS opponents (I believe this change is taking place once previously scheduled matchups vs...

    2010 Season

    Not really a new perspective, but I think the current heat on Capt Kirk, especially from some of his long-time supporters, stems from the finish to the 2010 season. I didn't expect that team to win a NC and most people's expectations were probably a tad high ... However that was a 10-2 team...

    Hlas Article

    Here are Mike Hlas' inputs on the coaching changes ... Quick thoughts on the changes to Iowa’s football staff | TheGazette I'm with Mike (and John for that matter). I don't know why internal hires are being so highly criticized. Coach Parker is a young guy who is very well respected by...

    In order to win ...

    Does the offense really need to open it up that much tomorrow? I don't think so ... yes, I realize that our offense has been the cause of basically all of the Kirk Ferentz losses to NW. But in my opinion, last year' s loss came about because Stanzi tried to open it up and go for the long...

    Another Option for Pryor?

    Just a thought here about Terrelle Pryor ... Could he go play basketball somewhere? I know he was a stud player in high school with quite a few offers, so I imagine he could still play at the college level. I don't know about his eligibility (both from the transfer standpoint and from the...

    Tackling

    Thought I'd try to describe why we're playing so poorly instead of just ******** and moaning about it. The tackling today has been atrocious. Our D's system is fine--the players are right there, in position, but they're trying to arm tackle. I mean really, Mike Daniels is the strongest guy...

    Helmet Stickers on College Gameday Final

    Stanzi got a quarter of a sticker for playing one good quarter of football lol. Also, Mark May and Rece Davis now refer to the fourth quarter of Iowa games as "Stanzi Time." I'd say that's pretty accurate.

    Michigan State Overview
