Jon, with the unfortunate passing of Jim Zabel I'm wondering if you would consider again hosting Soundoff this fall as a tribute to Jim. I think that would be a very nice jesture, Jon. I'm thinking a lot of Jim Zabel fans would call in and talk about his/her favorite memories of Jim's life and...

I give Iowas defense a B and the offense a D. Defense seems to be coming on and should keep the Hawks in a lot of ball games. James Morris was great! I feel for him in this Iowa State loss. The offense lacks a go to receiver and Vandenberg isn't what I thought he would be after two games...

Appears to me the commitments to date are "preferred" recruits as opposed to "fall back" recruits which is encouraging. With about one-third of the 2013 recruiting class verballed this early in the process it appears the coaching staff is having a very good recruiting year. Hopefully the...

Before the Kirk Ferentz news conference on the announcement and discussion of the new DC I did not understand why it took so long to announce the promotion of a coach who is on the current staff to DC; a length of time some coaches don't need to hire an entire coaching staff. Upon reading the...

If Ferentz decides to promote Erik Campbell as OC and bring in Brian Ferentz as offensive line coach, I'm fine with that. But, for Pete's sake let's not keep Hawkeye nation waiting so long for the announcements. At the rate it took to make public a new DC who was a long time coach on the...

A surprise. Five star OL spurns Nebraska for Stanford. Many folks were predicting Nebraska as his choice.

Whatever your plans are for this evening enjoy them. But please be smart. If you plan to drink then don't drive! If you plan to drink please be with trusted ones so everyone can arrive home safely and without incident. Be in groups and watch out for each other. I want YOU to be around for...

Just wondering. How many trophies have we lost this year in football? Also, do we have any non bowl trophies remaining in the Iowa trophy case? Also, when was the last time Iowa has not had a non bowl trophy in the trophy case? Just wondering.

Same coaches with same philosophies with same little or no room for flexibility. Also, expect every opponent to zero in on the predictableness that will make it more difficult for the offense to move the ball consistently, especially against good opponents. That said, I fully expect Iowa...

I'll say it now. I predict Iowa beats Nebraska by 3 to finish the regular season at 8-4.

I predicted Iowa would lose to Michigan State and that's what happened. At the beginning of the season I also predicted Iowa will be 6-4 going into the Purdue game, as they are, and finish the season with an 8-4 record. Judging from the returns of this Iowa football team to date, where "will...

Yesterday I was told by two people here in Cedar Falls that Cedar Falls running back Barkley Hill just a few days ago backed out of his verbal committment with Iowa State. I asked if they knew where Barkley might be heading and both people said they didn't know but Iowa is very much in the...

I wondered why I deviated from my original and mid season 8-4 prediction. Could be the Minnesota game influenced my feelings that influenced my thoughts that caused me to change my prediction from 8-4, to 6-6 or 7-5 tops. After the Michigan win I come to realize this team is on track for an...

Earlier this week I said I have no clue who will win the game this Saturday. I will go with the more talented team. Michigan by 1.

.. what the final record will be for this Iowa team? There are 4 (edit: 5) possibilities and any one of them could happen, although I wager most of us are thinking more like 1 and 3 or 0 and 4. Judging from the Minnesota loss and the improbable comeback against Pitt this team is about as...

I just got back from out of state last night and I apologize if this topic already has been discussed. Question: When Iowa received the ball with about 2 minutes and 40 seconds to go, down by one point on Iowa's 26 yard line and facing the worst defense in the Big Ten and with Iowa pretty...

... and with 2 home games and 2 away games remaining how probable is it Iowa finishes 8-4 or better? We reached the half way point of the season where I thought the Hawks would be 3-3 (with losses to Iowa State, Penn State and NW). The Hawks are now 4-2 and that is one win better than I...

It wouldn't be so bad when Iowa State beats Iowa if only the 'Clones would go on to have a very good season. But, as usual it's the other way. As the season progresses, the loss to Iowa State looks worse and worse not only from a Hawkeye standpoint but also nationally because Iowa State keeps...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but before the season started didn't you say no way Iowa loses to Northwestern this year? However, this evening you picked Northwestern to beat Iowa on Saturday. Is there that much of a gap between pre season perceptions and mid season realities regarding the two...

All you got to do is look at the history, the tendancies and the philosophies of a given team/program. I can confidently predict over the next 10 years Iowa will average about 7 wins a year and lose to Iowa State in Ames 4 out of 5 times. I can confidently predict Iowa winning at the most...
