    Amazing coaching job!

    I will say this: before the season started I thought that the inexperienced OL, but especially the DL were going to be such a big problem, that I was predicting 6-6. Very glad that DL, especially, was better than the sum of their parts and that we sit 9-2. Definitely overachieved this year...

    Iowa 6.5 point favorites over Minny Mouse

    Study the Illinois vs Minnesota film, Phil! Do not let them run and force them to pass. Then harass the crap out of their QB.

    Goodson and IKM missing some big cutback lanes per video

    Goodson also needs to do a better job of picking up the blitzer, too! Cutbacks are there… and would help solve a few problems with defenses that are over-committing to stop the stretch zone play.

    The hawks weird alignment on the ISU onside kick; your thoughts

    Just like any youth baseball coach will tell his in-fielders - you have to play that ball and not let it play you. He should have shuffled forward on that play and snagged out of the air, before it got to that last bounce. Baseballs take funny bounces on that scratchy in-field dirt when you...

    What a difference! What a difference! I am talking about Matt Campbell’s press conference. He took all the blame, didn’t throw his team under the bus. Multiple times. Compare that to what we hear out of Lincoln Nebraska. I have a lot more respect for Matt Campbell right now.

    Your thoughts on La Porta drops; he had been 'glue'

    The passes he has dropped have all been high, IIRC. Maybe he has a sore mid-section and he is hearing footsteps. It is concerning. He needs to realize he is still going to get hit, whether he catches it or not … so just catch the damn thing!

    Are we as physical

    Jack Campbell is pretty big (IMHO)for a LB. I get your overall point, though.

    New Iowa Football Depth Chart Shows Youth Movement

    Yahya Black may be the guy that will become an All-American. He already has the body. Imagine if he has the Mitch King mindset…

    Merged - Big 12 Aftermath Thread

    Man, if the SEC turns them down, I hope the B1G goes after them! Texas &Oklahoma in the West and give Purdue back to the East. Balance of Power Shifts to the West. If Nebraska doesn’t like it, let them walk! Bring in Norte Dame in their place.

    If you were walking on the beach at a Sandals Resort in Jamaica and you

    A conference victory is more important, especially if your goal is to win the B1G West. Seems to me that the less we care about that Cyclone game, the more it would bother the Cyclone fans that we view it as the 10th most important game on our schedule. As opposed to their Super Bowl…

    I saw that Jay Norvell was named as a candidate to replace Miles. Please do NOT take that job, Jay. No.No.No.

    Whar the Assistant Coaches?

    Well, that took a turn off of the main topic. As much as I would like Marshall Yanda to be an assistant coach for the Hawkeyes, it is NOT going to happen. I think Ferentz will find a dynamic, young, energetic coach who can recruit and even if he is currently a WR coach, he will get him to move...

    Whar the Assistant Coaches?

    Yanda would never want to be away from his family as long as you would need to in order to be an assistant coach. Plus, he is a wealthy man. Not worth it. Sit back, let someone else farm the 10,000 acres you just bought and be a stay-at-home dad is probably his mode right now. (I have no...

    Iowa QB situation

    Let’s be real, even with those costly fumbles against Purdue... if Petrus had performed well enough to earn an AVERAGE quarterback rating, we win both Purdue &Northwestern games, and finish 8-0. That would have set up one hell of a game vs OSU. We would have been in the National conversation...

    Purple Kitty beat down thread

    I remember that 2002 Iowa football team. What a great team and great year. To a man, they all say that the loss to Iowa State really galvanized the team. The loss to Gonzaga may have shown them their need to play better defense, but IMHO, that loss to MN hurt them more. Made them truly...

    Wirfs story

    The first 3 or 4 picks are usually reserved for QB’s and DE’s. But what gets me is that Tristan was the FOURTH OT taken in that draft! Looney. Thank God he was, or he could be stuck with some nightmare organization like the Giants or the Jets. Gallery was picked by the Raiders, who were a...
