    Let the portal madness begin

    Yeah... That's why right after I'd heard that I'd said to my friend it'd be funny if the coach cut him... Now it feels like you're forcing someone that doesn't want to be there to have to be there after they'd changed their mind even if it's 100% financial. His agent dropped him cause he knew...

    Is Iowa in the position to be that picky about who they bring in at the WR position? We just had a WR portal kid we were after from Kent state tell us no to go to Cincinnati instead... At this point if a WR would be willing to say yes we can't tell em no. Especially an Iowa legacy kid like...

    CFP Semi Finals

    End of the day that's pretty much how I feel. It was an entertaining game that I didn't really care too much about who won. But the SEC losing is probably where I'm the most happy with. Now all the Ole Miss, Kiffin assistant coaches drama can be put to bed... But wait there's more!! I guess...

    Offensive ideas from Pat Harty

    Yeah Mark is a right handed Tim Tebow pretty much. He can occasionally but inconsistently make good throws. He misses layups way too often to be considered a serious pro prospect. Is he worth having on a 53 man roster to have as say a short yardage/goal line QB? Obviously for the teams that have...

    I think some people are over valuing what an Iowa offer to a WR is compared to Oregon and others. Smiths best offer besides Iowa woulda been between ISU and MN. Mostly he had MAC offers and his home state schools in IL and NW didn't offer. I'm not saying he won't be a decent player but the odds...

    IDC if a WR is a primadonna or not. Many of the good ones are. DJK was too and he's arguably as good of a WR as we've ever had and KF made it work. And there's no way Kasper is worse of one then DJK. You can't teach 6'6 210 and what all Kasper has to work with. RVZ might be the exception to what...

    Kaspers been hurt too and buried behind other 4 and 5 star WRs on Oregons roster. Yes I'd roll the dice and take Kasper and his potential over the potential of our other guys. He's 6'6 215 lbs and can jump out of the gym. Kasper coulda went about anywhere he wanted coming out of HS hence going...

    Guess we'll see he's got 2 yrs to play at BYU and they'll throw the ball. Are you saying you wouldn't take him over say KJ Parker, Terrence Smith or Buie? Cause I sure would. He'd be our #2 WR day 1. We have RVZ and Howard returning that have done much of anything and those other guys who...

    Agree I wouldn't overpay him either. He hadn't been the difference maker most thought he'd be. He was ok but that was about it.

    Sure in what ended up being a close game you can take your pick. If the O woulda put just one more drive together for a TD they win. If the D coulda came up with one more stop that didn't result in them scoring in the 2nd half we win. Either one of those two things happen Iowa wins.

    Odd list... I'm surprised the Michigan schools aren't on it. TT has $$ maybe they'll over pay for him I guess we'll find out.

    Yeah in the 2nd half it was pretty noticeable actually. The TV folks didn't notice/say anything really but it totally was the case and was why we got shut out that 2nd half. We couldn't run the ball or protect Mark at all in that 2nd half despite going up and down the field on em in the 1st so...

    Pieper is awesome I assume he's either going to stay at RG or maybe move to center. Jones I don't think has played a ton and that LG spot to me is up in the air. This new kid played all of last yr and played well. I assume Iowa got him to compete for it. He's certainly big enough.

    It's just what I refer the NFL combine to being. They prop those guys up to see what they look like how fast they are how high they jump and all that but not in pads.

    Why Owen, why?

    Well they probably thought they were purchasing a starting 4/5 man. They wanted 15/7 every game with a block or 2 or 3. He could do close to that in Frans system but evidently you take him away from that and he's barely able to anything
