    Michigan recruits we targeted.

    Just watched a video on YouTube regarding Michigan and Jimmy’s contract. it is for sure up in the air if Jimmy will be back and a decision could be soon since early signing is coming up. Evidently some recruits have been looking elsewhere and he was asked directly on a recruiting call if he...

    Ticket Talk?

    Just curious if there have been any rumors or information regarding how seating would be if they actually play any games? Preferences to season ticket holders etc? I think my son's football team will not have a season so may try to get down to a game. Still optimistic the Hawks will play but...

    Faith in NCAA to do the right thing

    ESPN just ran a story about the NCAA coming out and talking about the alleged severe violations of Kansas. Will the NCAA finally have enough guts to really punish Kansas, Louisville and the other cheaters? The NCAA has really blown a lot of big cases including North Carolina, Penn State, and...

    What would be your Offensive game plan for Illinois

    I would start off up tempo with both Young and Goodson in the backfield. Spread them out with 3 wide and go heavy play action and power run game straight ahead, no zone scheme to start with. I would do everything in my power to break all tendencies and be aggressive. Illinois has some...

    Is the Big 10 the best defensive league

    Watching some other games today it really seams like defensive schemes and tackling are overall the best in the Big 10. It really boils down to Big 10 and SEC. PAC12 and Big 12 defense is optional, ACC is so skewed because really it is a one team league right now. Is the drop in numbers and...

    Have the Ferentz’s outsmarted us all?

    With Wisconsin losing today it changed the whole perspective of the West. Did Kirk and Brian Foresee this and keep the new improved playbook close to his vest to make a serious run in November? We’ll find out soon enough

    Hats off to Phil Parker

    Had the D prepared today and but most of all thanks for teaching our defense how to tackle. I have been switching through several games this afternoon and I can't believe how many missed tackles I have seen especially by secondary players. At least we don't have to deal with that.

    Answer to why AJ didn’t start last year

    I think after today it was pretty obvious why AJ was not starting last year. Had to hear all the whining about why he wasn’t playing more downs. After tonight it is pretty obvious he needs much more work on his run defense. His aggressiveness is going to be used against him all year unless he...

    Trip Down Memory lane

    Was wasting time on Youtube and started watching the Hawks playing Duke in 1993. I am probably a little biased as I much prefer the style of play that Mr. Davis taught over what the current Hawks are running, but looking at this game the amount of effort being put forth by the players seems much...

    Matt Campbell going pro?

    In the Twin Cities they do a segment on ESPN radio about pro football and have a guest on each day and this year they had Sage Rosenfels on talking Vikings and the pro game. Last Friday they were discussing some of the potential pro coach moves and Sage stated that he was aware of several pro...

    Future of Football in America and potential impact on College football

    Was reading some news this morning and there was a story about a team in New Jersey that was cutting their football program. I currently coach my son's 5th grade team and have coached for the past few seasons here in the twin cities. The association that we belong to and our associated...

    Best Back to not finish career at Iowa

    Was watching some old games and we have had a lot of running backs not finish their career at Iowa that had some serious playing time and played significant roles for the teams. Coker, Wehger, Robinson, Hampton, Garmon to an extent, I am sure I am missing more. Who do you think was the best...

    Wyoming Game Nod to Coach Fry

    I was watching the 1987 Holiday bowl victory and was wondering as a nod to coach Fry and the game 30 years prior if the coaching staff would come out in all white pants for the game. We always want the players in alternate uniforms why not the coaches giving a shout out to the guy that helped...

    Serious Question for Rob

    Since you have contact with recruits and coaches I was wondering if the following topic has ever been brought up: Do you know of recruits or have you heard of any recruits that have weighed in heavily on the fan forums to see what the fan base thinks about them and does that positively or...

    Existing WRs adding support

    With all of the talk of Martin and some of the other recruits that are being targeted where do we go to develop our current wide receivers. I know Scheel and Smith were a bust for most people this year and Smith really seemed to regress and at times seemed lost. I can't remember a positive...

    Hayden's playbook the early years.

    While I was too young to really understand the game and see those early teams play I enjoy watching the old games on Youtube. I was just watching the Michigan game from 1981 and they had some really cool formations and creative ways to distribute the ball around to their play-makers. How did...

    Current playoff system and emphasis on strength of schedule

    Are we ever going to see Iowa get back into scheduling a better non-conference schedule. I like that we play Pittsburgh and Syracuse and Arizona but we need to do this more. Games vs Northern Iowa and North Dakota State, Arkansas State do nothing for us. Will more Big10 conference games help...

    Word on Coker?

    Been away for a few days. Has there been any official word on Coker or his situation? The last I saw it was expected that he rejoin the team but have not heard anything from the athletic department or university. Why is there such a delay on this? The whole situation seems very odd.
