    Wanna Stop Flopping In College Football?

    Gonna respectfully disagree with proposed changes 2, 4 and 5. To me, college football's first concern should be the safety and well-being of student athletes, EVEN IF it allows an unscrupulous coach to promote the use of fake injuries. Why? Because real injuries happen in every game, there's...

    Here's how Gator fans feel about facing Iowa, most are not happy.

    Hard to argue with much of what they said. Boring? Well, the Hawks aren't much for glitter, are they? Alabama without the 5 star talent? I'll take it as a compliment. Someone prefers Nebraska as an opponent? Who wouldn't like to face Turnover Tommy? They actually seemed to know Iowa very well...

    Another informative article from Chad Leistikow

    ohhawk nailed it. Leistikow (like Randy Brown before him) is a credible, highly professional sports reporter who doesn't get carried away with excessive plaudits and exaggerations. He is indeed the exact opposite of Randy Peterson, the hyperventilating ISU fan who wears a cheerleading skirt...

    Lions promote former Michigan QB Jake Rudock from practice squad to active roster

    Absolutely! We have seen tons of player development at Iowa over the years. It's just that the skilled positions are harder to develop. There's no doubt a ceiling for development of skill vs. the possession of plain old un-coachable skill. Really wish Iowa could land more of the naturally gifted...

    Are we the third best team in Iowa?

    Right now, third best team (and it's probably not even close). Let's hope by year's end they move up a notch but they're a long ways from being a solid, consistent team ... despite the seeming increase in "talent."

    I think Iowa has the emotional edge next week.. thanks Bucks.

    Iowa has a (slim) shot against a veeery good Wisconsin team ... best two-loss team in the country, by far. Their young QB looked outstanding last night, sharper than we have seen Beathard at any time this year (especially considering the competition; Beathard hasn't faced a defense anywhere near...

    Two interesting play calls yesterday

    When they work, brilliant call. When they don't. Fire the coach. I mean really. One person's "makes no sense" play call is someone else's "be unpredictable" call. Call was OK in my book. Execution, not so much.

    Bielema Still Working on Chevin Calloway

    Well, somewhere it was stated that he has family in Arkansas and we all know Bielema is a great recruiter. Who knows? Maybe it was family who pushed Bielema to start recruiting Calloway in the first place. Whatever. I doubt one loss at this point in the season would turn player's commitment...

    most thought hawks would beat Isu in 2014

    You know, Iowa wasn't great in 2014 but ISU was absolutely terrible. That WAS a poorly coached game by Ferentz and Co. We'll see tomorrow night if they've upped their game since then. No excuses ... no doubt Iowa has the better team. Now they need to make sure the team proves it.

    Water tower

    SmokeTownHawk says: "Maybe the state of Iowa needs to rethink its appropriations to UIHC if someone is threatened by a Tiger-Hawk emblem on a water tower?" Um, exactly what state appropriation would that be? (hint: to the best of my knowledge, there is no state appropriation for the university...

    OK Lawyers - What's the Deal?

    Nobody wants to hear this but the State of Iowa has two too many public universities. Our forefathers would have been much wiser to allow the State University of Iowa to establish smaller branch campuses elsewhere, just as Wisconsin (and others) did. Today's funding-based dilemma is primarily...

    What will take longer?

    No lie: Early in his tenure, at a public event outside Kinnick, Gary Barta VOLUNTEERED to me that Iowa was "going to get that water tower painted with a tiger hawk." I hadn't asked about it and didn't particularly care ... he simply brought it up out of the blue, which I found kid of odd. Seemed...

    Man this A and M team looks bad.

    If this is all TA&M has to offer, they're not going anywhere. VERY average looking team right now. Poor shots, turnovers ...
