Your point is spot on, but it isn't the point. Yes, Iowa fans should have expectations and, yes, a coach in his 16th year should be driving the ship full steam ahead. But, this team has been highly mediocre all year. People were still saying playoffs halfway through THIS season. If the brutal...

After this loss, I would sure hope so.

Fry was a straight shooter. Never minced words to my recollection. Ferentz will simply never throw anyone under the bus. And, he always tries to put some sort of positive spin on things or find the positive even when it’s pretty hard to spot. Personally, I believe this is a product of the...

Great minds think alike. Norvell is the man. I want somebody like that who is young and energetic, and wants to make a name for himself by taking a program to an elite level. I'd also take a Hawkeye legacy who wants nothing more than to see this university be great, which is why I'd take Bret...

I wouldn't go so far as to say Ferentz doesn't "like" CJ, but it's been said that CJ is too "chill," too "laid back" for Kirk. In the same breath it was said that Kirk prefers Type A people.

I concur. My top two choices would be Bret Bielema or Mike Norvell, the offensive coordinator at Arizona State. Both are young and energetic and I wouldn't mind either offensive style that they would bring with them. I see both of them as guys who could recruit more dynamic players to Iowa.

And some people thought this team could get into the playoffs. To take on a team like Florida State or Oregon or Auburn.

I'll continue where you left off ... Average on the OL, average to above average at TE and WR, below average to very bad at QB, below average at RB. Your point about personnel decisions is on the money. Iowa does have some playmakers. Most plays, they are standing on the sidelines. Our QB...

Can you blame him? I imagine Podolak had some harsh things to say about Rudock. Even at his age, Eddie P may also be able to hit a hole quicker than Weisman.

From what I've seen, he always has his players ready and encourages them to play emotional, too. I like that.

This is fantastic. Weisman already with 15 carries or so. He's going to be tired by the 4th quarter when he can actually be effective.

Careful talking about our running back not getting it done between the 20s guys. Your thumbs down count will soar.

Hawkeyes' inadequacies were magnified on that drive. On that 2nd down with 3:40 left, huge hole on the left side of the line and we can't get through it to the second level. Long pass down field and Jake doesn't have the arm strength to get it there.

Beautiful screen on that pass to Bullock. Well designed. And, I love to see the Hawks going toward Tevaun Smith early in the game. He's got an NFL body and he brings a lot of emotion. Love it.

My thoughts exactly. Teams will scout based on previous year's game tapes as well, so no reason to hold back.

Not gonna lie, this game worries me a lot after watching us struggling with stopping every good running back we've played. But, if the Hawkeyes at least go down playing the way they did last week, I'll at least be OK with that.

So have you. We're in a thread where a player like this is being lauded as some sort of great impact player that Iowa is really fortunate to have going forward. My point is, if he makes an impact as a third or fourth WR as an upperclassman, fine, but should we really be super excited about the...

I agree Iowa should be 8-0 ... if they had played typical Iowa Hawkeye football in those 8 games. They also should have had a lot less trouble with UNI and Ball St. Two things though. 1. I still question whether a 12-0 Iowa team would have gotten in. The schedule is incredibly weak and it's...

Please. Do you really want to get into a discussion about which race is better at sports? African-Americans are better at sports than white people. That's not a fact I care to take the time to prove, but I think every person in the world can use their eyes and their brains to deduce that this...

Iowa is a much better front runner as well. At least historically. Just forget about the Maryland game.
