Apparently it's official. Notre Dame next?

Go over to the free board at Go Iowa Awesome sometime. It is a cesspool of filthy trolling, petty bickering and fighting, falsehoods, attacks on coaches and players, outright lies, etc. etc. I'm guessing 80% of the posts are either Iowa State or Nebraska fans. Simply disgusting, frankly. I'm...

Lots of games left, but Iowa is trending up at the moment.. Iowa now has 7 Quad 1 wins, fourth best in the country. Hard team to defend: Murray, Perkins, Sandfort and Rebraca are threats to go off at any time. Ulis is heating up and Connor can make shots now if you sag off of him. Very...

Woody Hayes is the all time wins leader in Big Ten football coaching: 205 wins (205 wins while coaching at a Big Ten school). Captain Kirk has 186 wins right now. I think Ferentz has a very good chance to surpass Woody Hayes and become the all time leader in wins in the Big Ten conference.

The overall records say yes. Here are the top 5 teams over the past 10 years, based on overall record: 1. Ohio State 116-14 2. Wisconsin 91-36 3. Michigan 85-37 4. IOWA 85-41 5. Penn State 84-41

This probably belongs on the basketball board, but it certainly has applicability to football. Creighton is putting all of its resources into basketball and trying to build a national brand, according to a very reliable source. Current deal for EVERY scholarship basketball player, per year...

A Hall of Fame coach. I have never seen an Iowa defense play better than this season in my 60 years of watching Iowa football. The Wisconsin game was a masterpiece of coaching.

I was at the game and noticed how fast Vines is, and how often he was getting open. And I felt his threat was allowing other receivers like Ragaini to get some space. Purdue has a very suspect secondary. I hope Iowa goes vertical with Vines early and often.

Saban refers to outside praise of his football team as "rat poison." Basically, it can really hurt a team after a big win and before the next game. Our Iowa basketball team has received a ton of praise the past 3 days. I hope they can clear their heads and just focus on Richmond. The Big Ten...

I'm still experiencing the euphoric high of the last 4 days. Wow, was that amazing. I've been watching Iowa basketball carefully since 1964 and seen a lot of great players. Is Murray the best ever? I say yes....even more dominant than the great Ronnie Lester. My Mt. Rushmore: Murray Lester...

I didn’t think I would live to see it. Incredible

Sports Reference rating service right now rates this team the second best Iowa team since the 1993 Iowa team. That's 29 years. It really has been an outstanding season thus far.

Can this team make a run in the NCAA??

So fun to watch. Is she the greatest female athlete ever to play at Iowa? I vote yes

That's the 4th year in a row that Iowa finished in the AP Top 25. Iowa finished behind Michigan, Ohio St and MSU but ahead of Wisconsin, Purdue, Minnesota, Iowa State and Penn State. Another very impressive season from Kirk Ferentz, along with a Big Ten West Championship (his second).

In 1981, Iowa tied for the Big Ten Title (10 team league) but did not play the other co-champ, Ohio State. In 1990, Iowa tied for the Big Ten Title with 3 other teams (10 team league). In 2002, Iowa tied for the Big Ten Title (10 team league), but did not play the other co-champ, Ohio State. In...

I can’t recall another road rally of that magnitude. One for the ages.

What a play he made. A kid who was playing on special teams abs makes one of the great plays in Iowa history. So thrilled for him and this Iowa team.

I have watched Iowa football and attended games since 1962. Although this is not the best Iowa team I have ever seen, it is my favorite team. Let me explain my reasons, briefly, based on observation: 1. They are together and seem exceptionally close. They are a TEAM. The players root for each...

Running him between the tackles behind a very average OL doesn’t make much sense to me. Ragaini and Tracy aren’t getting open. Why not Goodson in the slot? Let him catch and then run in space? Doesn’t that make some sense?
