    Let the portal madness begin

    Maybe, but hey, the guy has made good friends on the team over the past year -- been through tough Saturday games together, having each other's backs. I've never played on a team at that level, but can imagine all that doesn't suddenly dissolve away, just because the guy wants to get his. And...

    Let the portal madness begin

    That's crazy. That QB wasn't a one-man team at UW, but he was the straw that stirred the drink for them offensively, for sure. A threat anytime he took off with the ball. Big loss at this point in the portal process for a really strong team with high hopes for next season.

    Let the portal madness begin

    Another factor in the low # of Safety INTs could be that offensive coaches are finally figuring out what long-time Iowa fans have known forever: take what Iowa's defense gives you, which is short routes underneath our zone, and you can move the ball with little risk. It was amazing to watch how...

    What adjustments will McCollum make?

    After going 0-3 on the road, what adjustments do you think Mc will make? Heck, I'm a guy with a wrestling background so take it for what it's worth, but... It seems to me the offense Iowa ran vs nonconference teams relied a lot on pick and roll action with Stirtz around the top of the...

    DT Brice Stevenson Transfer Commits To Hawks

    Not exactly a murderer's row of other offers -- let's hope he's a diamond in the rough! Looks like the Hawks are targeting the FCS, at least early in this portal. In addition to this dude from Holy Cross, there's the DBack from Villanova and the kicker from ND State.

    Iowa State has been decimated

    There may be a big drop-off, there may not be. People need to remember that Cambell never brought in that many great recruits to ISU...I think his highest ranked recruiting class was in the mid-40s. He did have a special talent to bring in excellent QBs and WRs, but other than that, it was all...

    Iowa State has been decimated

    Have you seen Penn State's schedule next year. The easiest possible BTen schedule, ever. It's unbelievable, really.

    Iowa State has been decimated

    That was an obvious -- and therefore very unauthentic -- attempt to copy Cignetti's verbal blast at Purdue when he was first introduced at an Indiana bball game, which went viral.

    Iowa State has been decimated

    ISU's chances to make the CFP took a big hit now that Texas Tech is a virtual lock for the B12 championship game every season going forward. When you have a billionaire writing checks, it changes the equation.

    Damn. Was afraid of that.

    At that size may be thinking of him as a returner of some type too. Has some other decent offers.

    Georgia Ole Miss

    Perhaps. But gray-bearded Matt Rhule wearing a camouflage cap backwards during his bowl game made him look ridiculous. I can only assume it was some desperate attempt to show potential recruits that he's 'young and hip'. Beyond embarrassing.

    Georgia Ole Miss

    I had a similar reaction watching Ole Miss' defense. My God, I can see why Kiffin isn't taking that DCoordinator to LSU. Sometimes rushing only 2 or 3 and settling into a zone with no pressure let Georgia QB Stockton shoot fish in a barrel out there. Stupid. Altho I think we can all agree...

    Hawkeyes Now Rated #12 by Sagarin

    I'm curious if Iowa will end up ahead of Michigan in the final AP or Coaches poll...I'm guessing yes.

    Dakin Gone

    Yeah, he seemed to be out of sync a good part of this season compared to his Fr year, but he's got the talent and ability. I don't know that he'll be that easy to replace...unfortunate that Iowa will probably need to use some of it's NIL money to do so. It always surprises me when players leave...
