For 2/3 of the season the Hawks played great team basketball. Good movement on offense, hustling on defense & taking good care of the basketball. The last 1/3 of season turnovers are up, blocked shots are down, and shot selection is poor. The unsettling part is that this is the weak part of the...

Call me confused. For 2/3's of this season, the Hawks played a fast paced motion offensive style of basketball combined with an agressive pressing defensive style. These complemented each other and made both styles better. The players seemed to enjoy this style of play and it was entertaining...

Now that he has won a National Championship, maybe he'll transfer to Iowa to play in his home state!? No...

Amazing season....GO HAWKS!!

A lot of young players saw the field this year. J. Smith, Hockaday, Falconer and Daniels all flashed talent and they have not even spent time in the weight room with Doyle. Croston, Myers, Boettgers, Outsey, Mends, Hesse, Jackson, Flemming, Nelson etc. all got significant playing time and showed...

"What if we had played Willies more?" Team chemistry would have been crappy....he was a legend in his own mind and on these message boards. Great practice player who couldn't remember what route to run or who to block when he got in the games.

A little something for the haters who constantly wave the salary flag: Big Ten coach of the year — $50,000 National coach of the year — $100,000 Rose Bowl - $250,000 Top 10 — $250,000 Big Ten title or undefeated conference record: $250,000 $900,000 total bonus pay Top 15 Bonus - $175,000 -...

i'm guessing #8, #9 or #10 - can't see too many below us moving up much. Maybe TCU, Michigan or Houston, everybody else lost. Another #8 would be great!!

Rose parade, Rose Bowl Game, Disneyland, Knotts Berry Farms, Magic Mountain, Universal Studios, Santa Anita Racetrack, Hollywood, tan babes, great weather, cheap tickets outside stadium, great parties, great trip!! Money well spent!!

The conference championship game was a brutal slugfest. Neither team backed down at all. It was one of the hardest hitting games I've seen two college teams play. Both teams came away beat up with injuries to many key guys. Neither team was able to recover. Iowa's list of walking wounded was...

On the bomb to Vandeberg, the defensive back grabbed him to prevent what looked like a potential touchdown. Michigan State's d-back got burned and he did the only thing he could do to prevent Iowa from scoring. I don't really have a problem with that, smart play. The NCAA rule on pass...

Michigan State's defense is the best I've seen in college football this year. Iowa's defense nearly matched them. Our defense is extremely young and might get Ott back next year too. Hope King returns for his senior year. Great game Hawkeyes!!

Iowa's D played tough as hell. Had them stopped cold and nearly forced another 4th down for all the marbles. Why surrender when there was only 40 seconds left. Go with what got you here. Great game. Iowa is every bit as good as Michigan State.

How many Michigan State players get seriously injured and have to be helped off the field only to miraculously recover and re-enter the game after a play or two?? I'm guessing over 10 stoppages of play whenever Iowa's offense starts rolling and more if Sparty gets behind in the second half...

Iowa's going to ram it right down the throat of the defense. A collective forced deepthroat. The Hawks haven't really had to open up their passing game because they've dominated & controlled every opponent this year. Its a big stretch and wishful thinking to assume our passing attack wouldn't...

I'm not a big star believer. Stars rank the kids based on their last year in high school. Stars do not predict how a prospect will develop to play at the college level. Stars don't predict a prospects ability to be a great team player or how mentally tough they are or how hard they are willing...

This coaching staff, (who couldn't coach there way out of a box according to many) is in line to collect some post season awards. Ferentz - Big Ten Coach of the Year! National Coach of the Year! Would not be surprising to see Greg Davis, Brian Ferentz or Phil Parker gather some awards too. 12-0...

In CornShucker land: Thanksgiving Dinner - raccoon Christmas Dinner - squirrel

Wadley's hurt = recovering from ankle injury = injury that he re-injured late in last weeks game = not 100%. Canzeri averaged 8 yards a carry today with two long TD runs. Iowa is 12-0!!! TROLL!!

I think we have a solid defense. Obviously, we'd be better if all players were at full strength/not injured. It looked to me like we played more passively on D these last few weeks. Hardly any Raider packages or blitzing. I attribute that to the level of competition. Iowa was fully in control in...
