    CJ Beathard needs to fine tune his game

    The SF fans need to back him more. The SF head coach needs to back him more. Winning will solve all those problems. CJ needs to learn how to slide when he's running. CJ needs to maneuver himself better in the pocket. Keep his head up for possibility of pass even when defensive linemen are...

    Those Hawkeye fans who hate the offense

    ...could be right after this latest fiasco in Lansing, Michigan. Those who blamed the offense in the loss against PSU showed their lack of prescience in football knowledge. Look, we all want Iowa to be a good football team, right? Maybe we should cast aside the petty squabbles about what's...

    Points after touchdown for Iowa

    Whoever decides which way Iowa should go after a made touchdown, two points or one point, should be fired, seriously... Iowa went for two points in the third quarter (WTF) and again in the fourth quarter and failed both times and, if one point conversions were attempted and made in both...

    C.J. Beathard - 49er

    I've always thought CJ had the skills to be a professional QB. He looked real good (against 3rd team pro defenses) in his first two preseason games for San Francisco. Then came the third preseason game against the Vikings where C.J. played against the second team Viking defense and played most...

    Iowa not as good nor Michigan not as bad

    as last night's outcome. I swear, the last time I saw such a bad game plan for Michigan was the DNC and Hillary Clinton's bad game plan against Trump. Michigan has all those athletes yet they (out of complacency, I guess) decided to think they could just overpower Iowa's defense. Quite...

    It's time to ease Phil Parker down the road

    Iowa's defense is terrible, again. Iowa won last year because the offense scored more than the defense allowed. The defense is tired at the end of games? Maybe that's because the defense can't stop anyone before, at least, 3 first downs. Get off the field, for once, defense. Get rid of Phil...

    Uthoff has gotten better due to an increase of strength

    He's Iowa's outside shooter but can be down low (although not so comfortable). Just wish he'd bulked up before his senior season. What was he doing while he waited to become eligible at Iowa? Uhl is Iowa's next potential Uthoff. Uhl's got to start his shot higher if he wants to shoot closer...

    CJ oesn't need surgery?

    I read in today's paper that KF said 2 Iowa players would need surgery. One of those wasn't CJ. Rehabilitation?

    Why Rudock left

    Jake left because of oldkirk. Heck, who knew there'd be a newkirk? Who knows when newkirk will come to the forefront? Jake realized once a starting QB is announced by oldkirk, he stays as starting QB come he!! or high water. The Jake Christensen situation with Stanzi was an outlier. Who knew...

    Why, IMO, L. Daniels isn't playing all that much

    He isn't very versatile. I guess he can't catch the ball real well. Their defense knows when Daniels is in the game, it's most likely going to be a run so they can load the box. Greg Davis can fool their defense by making Daniels a decoy from time to time. Pass the ball to receivers or TEs...

    LeBron is a funeral terrorist

    Yep that's right. When interviewed after last night's game, LeBron said he blew a casket... That's what he said...

    College Football Playoff has lost its luster

    A one loss Pac10 champion HAS to be in the college football national championship? A one loss B1G champion HAS to be in the college football national championship? A one loss ACC champion HAS to be in the college football national championship? An undefeated Big12 champion MAY NOT be in the...

    Ferentz on CJ's injury?

    I can't for the life of me figure out why KF would tell the media and therefore every other opponent of Iowa that CJ probably wouldn't be 100% healthy the rest of the season. To me, that would be like going on vacation and telling everyone (including robbers). You leave yourself vulnerable...

    Excellent play calling Greg Davis

    Greg Davis. I tip my cap to you for your excellent play calling. The offensive line was patchwork. Illinois' blitzes were disrupting Iowa's offense. Then Davis called some screens, called some slants, and pitched the ball to avoid the rush. From my TV I didn't notice if a lineman helped...

    Is face guarding in college football a penalty?

    Is face guarding, where the defensive back guards the face of the receiver and doesn't turn around to see or defend the ball a penalty in college ball? One would have to question if the penalty exists in the NFL. The Anthony Hitchens incident as a Dallas Cowboy linebacker against the Detroit...

    What an atmosphere

    What a crowd. It was awesome.

    Thought I saw Shonn Greene running for the Tennessee Titans

    Turned on a preseason football game and thought I saw Shonn Greene running for the Tennessee Titans. Thought to myself, his running style might still serve him well in the NFL. He's gotten a new number: 28. Then the announcer said the running back was David Cobb (formerly of Minnesota...

    Yeah, another pile on Iowa basketball thread

    I noticed early on in the game vs. Minnesota that Iowa was reverting to bad (for winning) habits. All Iowa players took shots while they were guarded. Maybe kudos need to go to Minnesota's defense. Iowa doesn't have a lot of athletic talent and when, in basketball, inferior athletic talent...

    Should ask Fran what he thinks of B1G officiating

    Instead of asking about the eye poking incident, IMO, we'd find more about Fran's inner thinking if someone asked his opinion about B1G officiating. Probably a fine for Fran, unfortunately, if he expounded. These are apparent preferences of the Iowa staff: Most Iowa players are slim. Most...

    The football half of podcast 01/25/15

    I listened to Deace's lampooning of the Iowa coaching staff for the decision to make CJ the starter on the Jan, 2015 charts after reviewing performances in the Slayer Bowl. See, I don't think QB performances in the bowl had anything to do with who the staff decided as the January starter. How...
