    Jimmy Harbaugh's sleepover

    Just read that Harbaugh was visiting a recruit. It got late and the recruit told him his family has a spare bedroom. Harb's said he'd just sleep on the recruit's floor in his bedroom that night and that's what he did. If that's not illegal than it's at least a bit creepy. Can you imagine...

    Time to try and save the season and the fan base, Coach Ferentz

    Dear Coach Ferentz, We need to start CJ Beathard. I know Jon Miller has reported that insiders say he makes the same mistakes in practice that might cost us some games, but do we want to continue with a check down kind of qb with below average arm strength instead of a qb with a world of...

    We've had it backwards the whole time

    The next time I hear that Iowa has "so much talent", I think I'm going to lose it. The truth is, this team doesn't have great talent, relative to so many other teams in the B1G and nationwide. The truth is, this team overachieved through the first part of this season and first 12 games of...

    Tebow takes Manhattan

    Boy is he going to blush a lot after hearing Rex Ryan going off in the locker room. Seems like he's gonna stick out like a sore thumb in NY. Not a lot of evangelicals up there I hear.

    7.5 games

    That's the over/under set for the calling of Davis' head this upcoming season. This offense is going to struggle at times this upcoming season due to a relative lack of talent and no offensive coordinator is going to be able to fix it dramatically. Yet, he'll slip right into the KOK role with...

    The emotional coach myth

    I've read a lot about how some wish Kirk Ferentz would "show some emotion once in awhile" or words to that effect. Some even wish that he would be more like Paul R. How emotional on the sideline was Tom Landry for those old enough to remember him? KF looks like Paul R compared to Landry in...

    Let it be remembered that the Clemson game...

    was the that the fans en masse began turning on Fran. You really wonder if Fran gets more than three years now since Lickliter was only given that long. Shoot, this day and age of athletics and fandom wanting an immediate winner I'm not sure he does get more than next year to turn it around...

    Okie St was the worst #2 in history

    I mean big win for the Clones last night but gosh OSU's defense is bad. Iowa's defense is better than they are-and it's not even close. I mean, our defense overall this year has been substandard but it's a lot better than the Cowboys'. Has there ever been a more overrated #2 this far into the...

    Kirk Ferentz should receive a raise and be named coach of the year..

    OK, no he shouldn't. But this is the equivalent overreaction from KF admirers to how the drama-queen haters sound on the other side. You get how foolish you sound every time something goes bad? And where are those who wanted KF and/or his staff fired now? (crickets)

    an exercise in futility

    You can b**** and moan about Ferentz all you want and ask for his head but it will take three losing seasons in a row, folks, before Barta would even consider firing him. Time to accept it and move on. Look, less than two years ago Kirk was just raising the Orange Bowl trophy in the air and...

    What's the over/under....

    On Persa completing 7-12 yard passes in this game? I'll go 15. Sure hope we come up with some scheme changes to combat it this year. Man, that boy tore us up last year.

    Time to give Stanzi the rock and see what he can do in KC

    I mean KC and Cassell are just abysmal. And Palfko or whatever his name is isn't the answer there. Time to let Manzi tote the rock and let him develop. He'll be starting there by the end of the season in any rate.

    Did my ears deceive me or did Bobby Hansen...

    say yesterday on the Murph and Andy show that the Hawks had a chance to challenge for a Big 10 title next year, provided Fran gets two good gets with the two openings for recruits? I'm all for optimism and I know that Bobby works for the U of I but man, that's really drinking the Kool Aid...

    The long road ahead

    Just seems like the same story every year here lately. I get optimistic because we look good for a few games and then we go out and play like that on Sunday and reality hits that we're still not very good. Yes, I think the team is better than last year's team with the additions of Cartwright...

    Matt and Miller were irresponsible and reckless

    Matt and Miller were irresponsible and reckless yesterday on the radio. Ken Miller said that the reason for the players being in the hospital were because Doyle saw how the players were winded at the end of the five games we lost last season and he wasn't going to let that happen again...

    Is it any better....

    losing 90-71 than it was losing 60-41 during the Lick era? People complained about how boring the basketball was during the Lick era but was it really any funner watching that performance last night? I mean, Lick's teams were offensively challenged but this team is defensively challenged and...

    I'm not a believer yet....

    That this team is making significant progress. Guess I'm scarred after the past 3 years because I kept hearing "we're turning the corner" after we either won at home or stayed close to a Big 10 Big Boy team only to find out that we hadn't. By the eye test, I see a team that looks more athletic...

    DJK's NFL draft chances up in smoke?

    Likely went from being drafted 3rd-6th round to not being drafted at all due to the obvious character issues. What a freakin' waste

    The "what have you done for me lately" crowd

    ....need to go away. Look, I'm unhappy with how the season turned out and I think KF's coaching left something to be desired at times but let's get a perspective. Two years ago we won the Outback bowl, finished 9-4 and were #20 in the country. Last year we went 11-2, won the Orange Bowl and...

    Ken Miller was right.....

    When he said earlier this year that he didn't think we'd be as good as last year because of all of the talent that left to play in the NFL. You don't just replace Angerer, Edds, Spievey, Bulaga and Moeacki and expect to be as good the next year. Folks, in an overrall sense we're not an elite...
