I was so happy to see a thread with some good information, instead of whining about a 9-0 team. Thanks for the update on that particular computer ranking. As much as I enjoyed watching USC get beat, the day did not unfold the way we wanted it to unfold with MSU and Michigan, in particular...

What? This makes no sense. What makes you think he's going to average 7 or 8 yards a carry. You, like all, should hope he doesn't need to play in a big bowl game, because if he is truly needed and we are taking off the red shirt for that game, we are in big trouble.

I was a student Bob's last two years. Worst fan demonstration I ever saw, ever, was the student section singing "bye, bye Bobby" when his son was hurt (really injured) and was being helped off the field. You have a good point. We've got a lot of "fans" who think the team "owes" them (just...

I thought they did a good job, but they weren't perfect. There was no way the touchdown should have been overturned, his foot was down. The guy on the field saw it (because it was so, and video and postgame photos confirm). There was no "indisputable" evidence the call on the field was...

The answer is NO. His redshirt is not going to be lifted unless absolutely necessary. At what point in this game would you have inserted a totally novice college football player? People need to get off the "burn the redshirt" campaign. Hopefully it won't be necessary.

I'm pretty sure Ferentz has known where to find Chuck if he needed him. Love Chuck Long, but if Ferentz doesn't feel we need him, then we don't.

I'm sure you mean no harm, but it's a lame way to start a thread. By the way, you do know that BW is FAST?

Find me the high school team that has played the equivalent of Iowa and Michigan. Don't hurry getting back on this one.

Announced his job security too early.

The guy provided a pretty solid response. I think you lost your credibility with the "rebuttal", one "me" was plenty.

Very astute observation. His leadership ability/calmness under fire/character is a constant throughout his tenure and this team has a lot of players/leaders who totally have identified with that and it does show. Who would have predicted this offense's chances with under 2 minutes to go and no...

No brainer, maybe that's why it's easy for me. It's also easy because I was there, and it's the greatest atmosphere for any game I've ever experienced at Kinnick. #1 vs. #2, the game winner on the line, THE signature victory/stamp on the Hayden Fry era over the "winningest program in...

Excuse me? When Chuck Long came to Iowa in 1981 we were ranked as high as #6, before losing to Minnesota and went to the Rose Bowl. We were no longer "awful". Fry had things headed in the right direction when Chuck arrived on campus. No question Chuck Long defined the Hayden Fry turnaround...

We've found Paul Hornung in disguise.

We win at MSU. I think Indiana is the prime "let down" game spot at this point in the season with Northwestern and OSU upcoming and coming off a huge win at Michigan State with probably more national attention and more national accolades after the game for players and fans to bask in. Really...
