    Rival bowl eligibility

    Three of Iowa's rivals (Neb, Wis, Minn) are sitting on 5 wins. There is a chance that 1 maybe 2 of them miss out on a bowl game this year. Which of the three would you rather see not get to 6 wins? For me it's Minnesota just because of the fair catch BS.

    What should/could NCAA do to regain control?

    I am in favor of NIL, if it's actually money for a kid to profit on his name, image, likeness. I also liked that a kid can transfer and not have to sit out if there's a coaching change, or feels like it is no longer a could fit. However, in both of these cases, what is actually happening was...

    2022 QB

    I think Iowa is in good shape with skill position players (Goodson, LaPorta, Johnson, Bruce) but really need a playmaking QB. I just don't think Petras/Padilla are going to be that QB, and I assume maybe one of them transfers this winter. Sounds like true freshman Labas is generating a lot...

    Playoff Expansion

    With the announcement that the college football playoffs are going to expand to 12 teams, I think this is great for a program like Iowa. Under the current structure, being top 4 was going to be tough, but top 12 is very doable. I assume in the Ferentz era, Iowa would have made the playoffs 5...

    Transfers

    With this year being a free year of eligibility for all players, I wonder if this winter will see a large number of transfers across all of college football. For example the seniors who are not expected to be early round draft picks, could they be tempted to transfer somewhere else for this...

    Can Commissioner Warren ever recover from this mess?

    If local High Schools, NFL and SEC/ACC/Big12 all end up finishing seasons and crowning champions, this will forever be a massive screw up for the BIG Ten. AD's, Coaches, Players, Fans, Media will all point to him and the 11 Presidents as the villians in this mess. And the Presidents will hide...

    Onside Kick vs Penn St.?

    Sorry if already asked in another post, but didn't see it. Why didn't Iowa go for an onside kick after cutting the lead to 5? I mean the only way they win is to get the ball back, so with 2+ minutes left you at least try to get an onside, right? Worst case if the onside isn't recovered, Penn...

    We're Back? Not so according to IC Press Citizen

    There is not a single word on tonight's Men's BB game in today's paper. The game is not even listed in the "What's on TV tonight section". Pretty sad that the local town's paper completely ignores the BB team. Now I realize that putting together a 3-page sports section every day is a...

    Bill O'Brien

    Penn State head coach on Mike & Mike just complimented Ferentz as one of the coaches you gave him the courtesy of calling him to say that Iowa wanted to talk to a Penn State player. Wonder you they are talking to? He also mentioned (by didn't name names) that some coaches are reaching out to...
