    Oliver Martin to Michigan

    Good for him. Can only worry about the guys who want to be at Iowa. He didn't...his decision ultimately proved that. He obviously found the situation and future he wanted. Whether it works out is now up to him. Iowa will be fine.

    Gopher game predictions

    34-23 Iowa...King returns punt or kickoff for TD...gets 1st pick of year. Jerminic Smith has breakout game. The Nelson's get 3 sacks and Iowa holds Minnesota under 140 on the ground and shows improvement stopping the inside running. Minnesota will get their yards through air but when field...

    Iowa is going to get TRUCKED by Wisconsin

    No...Iowa won't get trucked by Wisconsin barring any unforeseen injuries to any more key Iowa players.

    Great Effort...Great Team

    Proud of the team...proud of the coaching staff...proud of the Iowa fans and how they showed up in force. They put it the defenses hands at the end...wouldn't have it any other way. This team is legit and showed it. Go finish 13-1! Still a lot to play for. And I am sure glad Coach Ferentz is the...

    Cowherd rakes KF

    Desperate for attention. IGNORING.

    Pistol QB formation?

    I am not comparing CJB to Manning on anything other than limited mobility but as Manning has aged and decreased in mobility, the Broncos have used the pistol to allow Peyton to be closer to his drop zone and still keep the running back at a depth to get a read on blocking and get downhill...

    It really is simple...

    Can't change the national perception. No matter how much a person tries to use rational thought backed up by actual numbers and performance most of the national "pundits" have already made up their minds on this team. There is no rationalizing with ego and "look at me" driven commentary. They...

    Iowa - Nebraska Game Thread

    Ridiculously one-sided officiating...some questionable calls and non-calls. Women just need to keep it close till half. Nebraska's posts are getting away with a lot of pushing.

    Iowa v Northern Illinois Prediction Thread

    I think the game will start with Iowa working to establish the run, which they will be successful with. Much like what was mentioned by MeatMan, Weisman will run a zone read play for a gain of about 4 to 5 yards. Iowa will hit a big play-action play in the first drive to get them in field goal...

    Iowa & Northwestern Postseason Chances

    I would like to think they are being considered...just using what I am seeing and hearing everywhere. Just bringing it up as a topic of discussion. I edited my heading for them to say outside looking in...probably a better way of putting it.

    Iowa & Northwestern Postseason Chances

    And so did every bubble team above them...I just find that if the Big Ten is supposedly the strongest conference in the country which by most people it is...how can they not even be a consideration when teams from weaker (and in some cases much weaker) conferences with no better or marginally...

    Iowa & Northwestern Postseason Chances

    Let me start by saying I am not by any means a fan of Northwestern, but after looking at their respective numbers compared to "bubble teams" I find it interested they are not still in consideration for a bubble spot. Below are the current RPI and SOS numbers based on ESPN (which I don't care...

    Iowa vs Illinois Game thread **OFFICIAL**

    Not surprised Illinois would show the best effort they have in weeks. Looking forward to having a 7 footer next year to help defend a guy like Leonard. Good thing is Iowa is within striking distance. Haven't seen Iowa shoot this poorly in a while. Can't hit any open shots.

    Game thread

    Valentine (official) makes himself too much part of the game. His over the top calls on plays are not professional and frankly show up players and bring the attention to himself.

    Inexcusable play...6 point possession & brought the crowd back into the game.

    That wasn't a foul on Basabe...Taylor was pulling his arm. The officials need to stop letting Ryan make the calls for them.

    Game thread

    I was just going to post the same thing about Bo Ryan...he acts as if his team never fouls although they grab and hold as much as any team in the country. They get away with a lot of little things that other teams don't. They also do a lot of moving on their screens. All that being said, Ryan...

    Game thread

    Team can't play defense in space. Either poor rotations in the zone and they leave the 3 point line wide open or take terrible angles on man defense and get beat to the rim off the dribble or get way too easily lost in screens. It seems on man defense that there isn't help and recover enough...

    B1G Conference Stock

    Look at the conference going forward into next year...obviously just my opinion, but I am trying to look at it realistically. I am looking at it as an overall program view...not simply returning players. Stock UP Michigan: Defense is much improved over a year ago. Another year in Hoke's system...
