    Michigan blocking committed recruits from see other schools

    I'm sure Michigan and Iowa (and all schools) take much the same approach in when they lay down the gauntles. For example, with lower-end guys you can do this, it's just that their low-end is much higher than ours. They may be able to pull this with a 4* because they have another 1 or 2 of...

    Are They Taught This Crap?

    Ahhhhhhh, short memories. Do you s'pose Norm/Kirk told Mitch King to do this?- Cheap shot by Hawkeye player - YouTube Or did the Ohio Player have it coming?

    Offense has been kept under wraps

    At any point while you typed this did you think your thinking was absurd? If you didn't, I'm sorry. If what you suggest was true, then the coaches have kept it under wraps all spring and summer too. Did the coaches ask Vandy to throw skip passes and the WR to drop balls too to keep the O...

    Paid App

    I wouldn't pay $3/month for just a mobile app. However, I might pay that if I could visit this site ad free from a PC and also use a mobile app.

    College Football Suicide Pool--Week 4

    Am I too late to this party? If not I'll go with UCLA this week.

    ESPN Rittenberg picks Iowa to lose

    What's embarrassing is the fact he thinks we're merely bad. I've seen bad teams and we're not that good.

    Coach K strikes again

    Sounds to me like a guy leaving because he may have been losing his job. If Kaz was all sorts of evil that he's portrayed, why didn't KF fire him?

    Emotional Hyberbole

    It's fun after a big win or great season (Best....., Most Incredible....) and we wallow in it after a disappointing loss/season (Worst......, Most Painful). Questions I have- Do you really believe what you're typing. Do you feel better/vindicated after a disappointing loss to rip one of the...

    College Football Report - Week 1

    How's stating a simple fact taking a shot? Answer- It isn't. Touchy Iowa fan doesn't like the truth. Start beating ISU and it's a mute point because we won't have to hear stats like that. Until then your point is moot.

    College Football Report - Week 1

    Couple things- You didn't do the cheers of Sam Durley justice. A lot of times people see those stats, especially in an early season game, and think sombebody was running up the scoor. His team was down 10 and won 62-55 with two scores in the final minute. There's a reason Iowa/ISU is...

    So how does oversigning work?

    Why? That would be offering protection to the athlete. Having said that, I can see limited oversigning.

    Iowa's 6 sacks allowed ties most by any team

    Other than a straight up whiff by an OL, how do you place fault? I simplify things and place blame equally. Ultimately the QB didn't get rid of the ball soon enough, the blockers didn't hold their blocks long enough and the receiver didn't break off his route soone enough. Blame falls all...

    Iowa's 6 sacks allowed ties most by any team

    We don't want to be leading in sacks given up after week two. I'm not really sure I want to lead the nation in made FG's either, except if it puts us on the positive side of the ledger.

    NIU would have beaten 'bama last night

    Yeah, but if "If's and but's were candy and nuts it'd be Christmas all year round". Translation- Iowa fan will always say, "But if Stanzi didn't get hurt......". Iowa does seem to have more than their fair share of WTF losses in the last 8 or so years. But I concur with your Title, NIU...

    Anyone else think Bullock looked like Mike Saunders

    Is the OP asking because he thinks so (I don't), or.because he wants to appear knowledgeable of his Hawk history by dropping a name most fans don't know or remember (I do.)? Damon ran decently today. I'm hopeful he continues to play well and we mix in some other backs.

    Top Ten Worst Uniforms This Year

    I forgot how awful the wing uni's were. The wings were one thing, but the big ol' Tiger Hawk fighting for attention with Hawkeyes in huge letters add to the fail.

    Orange Jump Suits are comfortable, but you don't want your neighbor to know you've worn one.

    Ferentz On the Side from 8/28

    Most important defensive stat, keep people out of the endzone. Maybe. Obviously if the other team doesn't score or score much you stand a good chance of winning. Historically we've done a good job in giving up few points, but along the same lines we've struggled getting off the field. I...

    McCaffery talks RPI, Marble and the NBA and more

    Perhaps, but woldn't it be great if we were having these discussion come next March/April? What we saw last year was a decent BIG player, but he made some huge strides from year one to two. I don't see him as an NBA player and it seems far fetched, but I like that's his goal and hope he...
