    Does Iowa have a QB that can be good next year

    I think both guys have potential but I think Hecklinski brings a different skill set with his run game that opens up the playbook a little more. While Brown can run from what I understand I don't think he quite as dynamic. I would like to see Lester roll the QBs out a little more to create...

    Does Iowa have a QB that can be good next year

    I think Petras was not a bad recruit. His first game he did better than a lot of guys and he won some big games for us but he lacked consistency and there seemed to be a mental issue. That could have been what Iowa was asking the guys to do as I think they rely on the QB to do too much and...

    Rate Bowl

    I think their biggest challenge in the atmosphere of college football is the high amount of competition for money. The gophers are third if not 4th or fifth fiddle when competing for money. I also think PJ not being able to retain some coaches has hurt their progression in some years. Don’t...

    Does Iowa have a QB that can be good next year

    Same here and his off script and running ability is something that can traded off for his lack of height when compared to some of the other guys in the room in my opinion. One of Iowas greatest weaknesses over the last decade was the ability of the QB to turn that no gain or blown up play into...

    Iowa State has been decimated

    The way I heard was he denied the coaches to have any say in who gets what or how it is distributed across your team, but I could be wrong. That was one of Campbell's requests several times to have more input or have more control and Pollard denied his requests so he left. That was also a big...

    Does Iowa have a QB that can be good next year

    I believe Hecklinski was a four star coming out of Georgia in a conference where competition was good. I am not sure how he would compare to Petras who I also believe was a 4 star in terms of recruiting rank but he would be high. I think the height thing is overblown in college as there are...

    Iowa State has been decimated

    I didn’t get any of the meeting details or anything else behind the scenes leading up to that meeting but he did not get a warm welcome from the players. Anything having to do with NIL would be unknown

    Iowa State has been decimated

    Over the holiday I was told by someone that had contacts within the room during the team meeting that Pollard had with the players after Campbell left. I guess several of the upperclassmen stood up and told Pollard to his face to get the F out of the room and some other choice words. I was not...

    LeVar to Michigan State

    Phil has a couple kids not sure what their home life is like but if he has Grandkids that can easily become a new “hobby”. I’m sure if they are in sports etc he doesn’t get to see as much as he wants. Don’t know Phil but not everyone wants to work till their 70, traveling all over the...

    LeVar to Michigan State

    I believe he is also in charge of the party planning committee. The St. Paddy's day parties are legendary.

    LeVar to Michigan State

    It would be intriguing for him. He has had some Coordinator work in the past working mainly with the Offense. He would bring some instant credibility with him as he has a pretty nice resume. I wonder if they would consider moving Budmayer to Special Teams Coordinator and having Norvel...

    Joe Moore Award

    If Yanda is not a first Ballot HOFer then something is wrong. He was the best at his position for nearly a decade. Sherf may be close as well but he missed a lot of time for some injuries. I believe at one time he was the highest paid lineman when he was with Washington.

    DeJean commits

    I cannot remember where I saw it but I saw something where he was projected as a TE at the next level but obviously with these younger guys that can change a lot.

    LeVar to Michigan State

    MSU has a ton of money and some enthusiastic alumni who isn't afraid to spend it. If they can keep everyone happy they can come back to where they were. It wasn't too long ago they were right up there in the BIG10 East

    Honda Automotive Care

    I've owned several Hondas. Had an Odyssey with almost 200,000 my wife traded in for a Subaru Ascent to handle the winter in MN better but it was rock solid just burned a little oil but handles terrible in the snow. I had a 2006 Ridgeline with almost 250,000 that I decided to trade in as the...

    You're the GM - 2026 Roster Edition

    I like him but he doesn’t really have any skill set that sets himself apart from the existing guys with the exception of maybe running a little more violent but his issue has been he can’t stay healthy. The opportunities would have been there with Moulton missing time but he has been banged up...

    You're the GM - 2026 Roster Edition

    Possibly but unfortunately they weren’t on the team to find out. Not sure what the availability of CBs will be once the portal goes full swing and if Iowa is willing to spend premium money on one. I know they like some of the younger guys and they have some decent size. In today’s game it is...

    With how weak the draft class is this year and how well Purdy has done I’m kind of surprised he isn’t entering the draft. Not sure what he gets from NIL maybe it’s worth it for him to stay the extra year.

    You're the GM - 2026 Roster Edition

    For the most part though RPO is taken out of play on 3rd and long or obvious passing downs and that is where Iowa really didn't perform as well as they have in the past. When they were forced to blitz 1 or more guys to get pressure it is a lot of stress on that back end to cover regardless of...

    You're the GM - 2026 Roster Edition

    I'm sure that like most organizations the staff has X amount of money to give out each year. How much of that has any leeway on a year to year basis I don't know. I thought most of the caches just got a raise a few years ago but I could be wrong. Unfortunately like most places the pool of...
