    My Cy-Hawk Game Preview & Prediction

    People are doing mental and rhetorical gymnastics trying to present ISU as a good team, I think mainly b/c the media is pushing a man crush on Matt Campbell. He has done a great job at ISU, which is one of the historically worst FB programs in these United States. With that said, their OL is...

    Are you on the moral high ground if you send out fewer offers?

    This is just another "shiny object" Iowa uses to distract from the fact that their recruiting is highly mediocre. So you made less offers than 90% of the FBS? Good for you. If that results in a class ranked near 40, do you think that was a successful strategy?

    Whoops, Kinnick?

    Got to be water from the stands coupled with an alteration in the drainage during the N. End Zone project. These things are easily fixed. That was also a substantial storm that you cannot replicate with testing. Good thing to expose it now.

    Howe: Game-By-Game Predictions for Hawkeye Football 2018

    Hawks are definitely known for losing a game they should not, but I don't see losing to both Indiana and Purdue. I am going 9-3/10-2.

    Iowa is as stacked at CB as I can ever remember. Rightly so.

    Updated: #48 Ranked Class and #12 in B1G per ESPN

    This is a good recruiting class, as good as I can remember for a while. Outside of the top 10, I really do not think these rankings are a real good indicator of talent. On the whole I find the coverage of college football recruiting to be an industry on par with puppy mills.

    Dowling DE John Waggoner Strengthens Hawkeye Bond on Visit

    Some of these kids really like to drag it out. I have a lot of respect for those that don't. At this point, he should know whether he wants to go to Iowa. If he doesn't, to each his own. But at least have the courtesy to let the staff know so they can stop wasting time and money going to DM...

    Schwartz: What Did We Learn About Hawkeye Football? Not Much

    What we learned is Iowa finished 7-5. Per usual they lost games they had no business losing (NW/Purdue) and won games they should have lost (OSU). Also per usual the team showed up half asleep to several games, which I have no clue how that happens on the reg. Ferentz collects his $4M/year, Iowa...

    $95 a seat?

    I gave up my 2 season tickets this year, mainly because of travel issues. However, after taking 2 adults and 2 kids to the N. Texas game at $65/ticket, I can see how cost factors in for many people, especially if you are buying more than 2 tickets. For various reasons I think Iowa will come...

    Deace's Meltdown

    Arguing a "systemic" Kennedy level conspiracy dating back to the 70's against: MICHIGAN. That, as they say is RICH. I have two in laws that are UM grads, both of whom will talk till blue in the face about bad spots, pats on the but, the referees' penchant for red M&M's vs. blue, etc. You won't...

    OC Needs to Be Relieved Friday @ 6PM

    There is zero point in delay from a recruiting and development standpoint. Need to turn the page as quickly as possible. That said, I'm expecting to hear he's getting a 50% raise.

    Recent podcast

    Unsure how you could provide commentary on any football program without evaluating those in charge. Part of any evaluation is looking at what the expectations are and whether they have been met. Certainly salary is a large factor in formulating expectations for any job. KF gets paid in the upper...

    Move King to slot on obvious passing downs

    I've seen a lot of missed receivers who were open past couple weeks.

    There's just something not right about this team....

    Let's see what happens Saturday before writing the epitaph. They've played 4 games and scored 40+ points in two of them. ISU is not Alabama, but Iowa looked pretty damn good there. The NDSU game--don't care what they said pre-game, they simply did not match the intensity of that team. No excuse...

    Rutgers game

    Tickets out of Chicago are insanely inexpensive for flights these days, $125-$175 depending on times. Can't really fathom Rutgers is packing them in so tickets should also be plentiful and inexpensive. Hotels in NYC are another animal, but depending on how you want to roll, the cost of this trip...

    Matt Bowen

    I don't understand half of what those guys talk about. Sometimes the posts/articles seem to be an excercise in FB lingo. Or, maybe I just know nothing about football.

    Ticker prices outside of stadium?

    It's a good lesson to all: never pay more than face for bowl tickets and in most cases you can pay way under. I learned the hard way years ago with expensive Final 4 tickets, then saw them going for 25 bucks outside; 2010 Orange Bowl tickets I bought from Iowa that I literally could not give...
