    Does anyone know his status? Think he may be our best player on D!

    Howe: Game-By-Game Predictions for Hawkeye Football 2018

    While the schedule may look easier at first glance, I have serious concerns about it for specifically KF program related reasons. Wisconsin may be a home game, but it’s in September. KF teams always play better in November when the bulk of those historic upsets occurred. And I was in Madison for...

    Kirk Ferentz: Living Legend

    We play 12 games. Fry era we played 11. Over 20 years, that’s 20 more games you can win. All that matters is Winning Percentage.

    Kirk Ferentz: Living Legend

    Like Ferentz, will be nostalgic when he is gone someday, BUT, not one major category can anyone say he did better than Fry, AND: 1. Fry had significantly less LOSSES than KF. We can’t just look at wins and ignore losses and W % 2. As John points out, Fry has many more AP poll rankings. 3. Fry...

    Looking at Hawkeye Bowl Picture

    All about matchup. Zero interest in Nashville if we play Kentucky or Missouri, etc. Only if we play A&M is that bowl of interest, which is not likely. Give me any PAC team in Holiday or Foster Farms, or almost any ACC team in Pinstripe over that. Rooting for Holiday or Foster Farms.

    St. Louis Recruiting

    I have always thought we do quite well in St. Louis. Perhaps that’s because of the big names, just to name a couple from years past: Marvin McNutt, Adrian Clayborn, and now 5 Star AJ Epanesa (Edwardsville is metro StL), the only 5 star in Ferentz era if I’m not mistaken. I am missing many...

    Perspective

    No one I hate more than Neb, but between them and Michigan, and maaaaaybe Minny at Minny last game of the year (super long shot), only chances for Wisco to lose. If we want to throw in the towel which I would understand that perspective being 0-2, then don’t care who wins that game.

    Perspective

    I like the OP and he could be right, but I have a little more optimistic “perspective”. We beat Illinois this wknd and get in sync offensively. D might hold Illini to 0. More confidence and better locker room going into the bye. Will be a productive and good timing for the bye and extra week...

    "We're only Minnesota..."

    Having a 46th recruiting rank, 8 spots behind Iowa State, is awful. Love some of the kids we did get, and I'm sure KF will get the most out of them. But when you are a non blue blood program but go 12-1 and get a Rose Bowl berth, followed by a season with plenty of talent that came back, you...

    Conference Expansion

    Theyre never going to boot a Big Ten School from the B1G.

    Mental Appraoch to the Rose

    I have concerns. I have seen that we are taking a good practice schedule. I hope that players don't see this as a disappointment. It's the Rose Bowl. If they don't see the opportunity here that would be sad. I am not sending excitement from players or KF. KF on expanding football playoffs...

    Let's be clear, as a fan, Peach and Fiesta do not want

    I believe the Rose has probably already made up their mind on what they will do in the event we were to lose to MSU (assuming we would fall below OSU in playoff ranking). What that decision is, however, they aren't going to tell anybody of course.

    Who Was Around When Haydon Started Coaching Iowa?

    I was there. It was around the time Jesos Christ was alive.

    Worst case bowl scenario for Iowa

    No Hawkeyes fan should, in my opinion, have any difficulty whatsoever understanding why many would prefer a Rose. It's bred in at an early age of Hawkeye fandom and we have been starving since 1991.
