    '18 Athletic Department Study Showed Serious Racial Bias in Iowa Football

    What concerns me: *players not feeling valued by the coaches (death in the player's family example) *ALL language with possible racist overtones ("what are you gonna do, rob a store?" type comments) *recruiting pitches not matching reality *demeaning coaching (not hard coaching, but coaching...

    Signing Off HN

    I'm sick of cancel culture. Too many people can't handle others not agreeing with them, and there is very little "agree to disagree" anymore. It's honestly sad. This celebrity has what opinion? How dare they. This CEO said what? Oh, let's boycott, and screw the consequences to the many workers...

    Hawkeyes Past, Present, Future Share Feelings on Racial Injustice

    Nobody asked :), but my own two cents: *though my family was on welfare when I was young, I do have some level of privilege because I am white. I just do. I am not sure how anybody could deny that some sort of white privilege exists, but everybody gets to have an opinion. From friends and...

    STORY: Hawkeyes Pull Wide Receiver Keagan Johnson Out of Nebraska

    Agree with you. Nebraska will have a pretty empty TE room in 2021 and he would see the field a ton early.

    STORY: Hawkeyes Pull Wide Receiver Keagan Johnson Out of Nebraska

    I can't get a read on Fidone reading his retweets and likes on his Twitter account. The emoticons would make you think he is Nebbie's, but who knows. I do know his windmill dunk was freakishly amazing, and that he ran a 4.68 40. Having said that, we have some really good TE's on board...

    Some love to Fran and coaches

    I think there is a CLEAR identity this year. Last year Cook was good but maybe looking to "get mine" for scouts? I may be wrong there. This year the team knows we are an inside out team. Garza is so good at posting up/pinning/sealing. Every big man needs to watch him work without the ball. There...

    End of game

    I have come to like Connor and what he brings to the team in a big way this year. However, I don't think you EVER mention a specific ref publicly. That's media 101, no matter how bad it is. That's a coach's job, not a player's.

    C-Mac love

    Love the grittiness of this team! Connor is a HUGE part of bringing that toughness. I have really come to enjoy his game this season. Super high IQ, knows what we need. I have enjoyed this team way more than I would've ever thought. Good job, Fran and players.

    Eno Benjamin

    Eno is a stud. As much as I like Goodson, Eno is a step better. Able to break tackles better and just as quick.

    Complete Fail by FS1

    Agree that this game took forever. No idea why the play that sent Clovis out took to long to review. That took forever. Disagree about the announcers. They gave plenty of praise to the Hawks all night long. Klatt was very well-versed on the Hawkeyes and Gus is always fun to listen to. Loved...

    Soooo....Anti-Ferentz crowd

    For those saying this was a poor USC team, while Vegas had us as slight favorites, all of the so-called college experts picked USC. Every College Game Day guy and both USC homers (no surprise) on FoxSports1. The perception was that this USC was clicking well enough to take care of Iowa. Stop...

    Wirfs #3??

    Wow. Hadn't seen Wirfs this high on any mocks yet. That's all.

    Rev. Deuce Hogan

    Holy crap. This escalated quickly! Back to Duece, what are the odds he takes any meaningful snaps this year? I think he will need a year or two. I'm trying to pump the brakes on my own hype. But his offers..... dang, Gina.

    Rev. Deuce Hogan

    Yep, and let's make sure to never post in a music-related thread since that's not relevant to Hawkeye sports either... lighten up, Francis.

    IowaLaw's 2019 Final Report Card: Offense

    Some tired and old critiques: *Ferentz only cares about playing guys who have paid their dues *Ferentz doesn't care about winning There are too many examples of younger guys playing over older guys to count. The truth is it's very tricky to bench a guy who has put in a ton of time, effort, and...

    Garza....

    Garza brings some intangibles that go beyond his production, which has been amazing so far. He genuinely cares about being great. He is in the gym, he is playing with stitches in where everybody knows if he gets even a decent bump, like the movie says, there will be blood. Garza is all in...

    In-State Standout Xavier Foster Feeling Comfortable at Iowa

    Foster has a lot of potential, but is not an instant 20/10 guy, or even 14/7 guy as a frosh. If he was, the blue bloods would've been banging down his door. What I love about his game: *so disruptive in the paint blocking or altering shots *rebounds above the rim *potentially a very good...

    Blame and Credit

    According to many on here, our coaching staff deserves ALL of the blame for the Michigan loss. It's competely on them, we got outcoached, etc. I do agree that many criticisms are completely justified. However, rarely do I see the same posters ever giving Kirk, Brian, etc., any credit for...
