    OL shakeup...why?

    I was just wondering if anyone knew why the changes on the line. I am not saying that it is the cause of the problems today but I just don't know why you mess with what had worked throughout the year. Was Boone hurt or in the doghouse? Croston and really the whole line struggled but I am just...

    Aaron White's Legacy

    Has Aaron changed how iowa fans will view his career? I personally always ways thought of him as a garbage man and love watching players like him but rarely do you think of them as go to guys or greatest players. This stretch of his senior year I am starting to think he had been coached to...

    Anyone honestly still of the opinion...

    That the 2013-14 Hawks were better than 2014-15 Hawks? I know there were people that thought we couldn't be as good of a team because of the loss of mainly one player. I was always of the belief that we would be better at all but one position than last year and the other four spots would easily...

    Can some of the posters finally admit...

    Gesell is a better player and point guard than they thought, and that Woodbury is definitely better than olaseni. i enjoy watching sports in general but I cringe to think about how fans react to players when they struggle even though all players go through those times. Gesell is the guy that...

    After watching videos in the recruiting blog...

    What incoming recruit's video impressed you the most? Personally I was most impressed with James Daniels...I would not be surprised if he starts at guard and shifts to center when Blythe graduates. Great feet, good leverage and already has enough size.

    UMBC vs Iowa

    No game thread...sound like iowa is playing a little sloppy but should be a good game to get the reserves a lot of time. Hope jok and oglesby can get their shots going. Gesell already has 3 asst early and Woody is boarding well with 3 early ones.

    Reality Check - the whole team got dismantled

    That isn't going to be fixed by benching one player. I am not saying beathard should or shouldn't play. But will his playing fix the oline struggles? No. Will it fix the problem the dline and lbs had with stopping the run? No. Will it change the fact that the Dbs couldn't find the receivers in...

    I think Jake got a special talk from a former UI QB

    I seriously think jake's game was aided by Drew tate. With him there I would bet he gave jake some words of advice about how to make the plays that would help him. There is a reason that jake won the starting job and I believe it is more than he is the safer bet. Drew had an attitude and if some...

    It is Playcalling

    Koehn makes a huge fg but why run a stretch play at 3rd and 9 with bullock. I am a rudock fan and don't think he should lose his job. But the way beathard has thrown the ball I don't get the play call. 52 yd fg isn't a given especially with our kicker. Beathard could have gotten more yards or...

    Did Greg Davis put slant patterns into his offense?

    Seriously I know vandeberg dropped it but I didn't think those were in the Greg Davis pass attack. These are a perfect pattern for the receivers and qb. Use it more.

    Game 1 Thoughts

    I feel that overall there are a lot of good things that came from the game. The biggest is game experience and the coaches really seeing the deficiencies in game situation so they can scheme better for better opponents. Defense: DE - ott was very good. The other side is limited as hardy has...

    Some stats....

    The first number is the plus/minus of the team when the player was on the court, the second is when they were on the bench.

    Am I Crazy...

    I just pick creighton to make the championship game. wont be my only bracket as I usually have 3 or 4, but it just felt like they would be tough against the matchups I had them in. did pick Iowa/Tennessee to win a game.

    While looking at plus/minus stats I found a lineup...

    That out scored the Illini but was never seen in the second half. pg - gesell/clemmons sg - ogelsby sf - uthoff pf - white c - woodybury this group was +6 together. But since Uthoff didn't play in the second half it was not used again. Iowa has to have stat guys telling Fran and company what...

    Who wants the ball at the end when it is close?

    Mike Gesell...I don't care if he isn't the best scorer or the best ft percentage on the team. He is the guy. He has ice in his veins. He just got his confidence back against a weak team. I now think he will start doing similar things against the top teams.

    +/- stat

    Some don't like this stat but I think it is very telling on how well your grouping in the time you were in played as a whole because it brings both offense and defense into the factors. For the Wisconsin game I really thought it might tell us some things. Basabe (+1) - doesn't say much as he...

    Rotation questions...Michigan game almost perfect (IMO)

    3 guys at 30 min - the 3 most important players on the team were right around 30 min and that is what we need. Gesell 29 min (I would like him at over 30) marble at 31 min (right about where he should be because even though he is our best scorer we play too fast for consistently playing 36 or...

    The real rotation...

    Iowa facing teams that can play ball will be a 9 man rotation unless ogles ya comes back to add something. Outside of foul trouble Iowa will keep Jok's time down. Kid has a great upside and career in front of him but I doubt he averages more than 6 min a game in tight big 10 games. The isu game...

    Ideas for the Wisconsin home game...

    I was listening to the podcast and remembering last night was basabe bobble head night and thinking about how well uthoff played, I thought there should be something pertaining to Jarrod uthoff for the wisky game. Maybe a uthoff bobble head game and then someone can put one on Bo Ryan's chair...
