Just heard the K from Council Bluffs - Caleb Shudak also committed to walk-on today. Looks like the staff wants to bring in some competition for Duncan.

Anyone selling tickets to any of the three sessions of the NCAA games in Des Moines? I have only found tickets on sale through Prime Sports, and they are steep right now. I am guessing there is anticipation that Iowa will be sent to Des Moines. Stuck between a rock and hard place - buy now...

Thanks for the updates. Much appreciated.

I think if I had to bet, I would take the over on Jones passing yards. The Iowa defense typically gives up yardage, especially to teams like OU. I am hoping this year's game resembles last year - Gabbert put up huge numbers but Iowa kept them out of the end zone for the most part.

I have a buddy that likes to play the props for some of these games. Here are some interesting ones: Vandenberg - 253.5 yds passing Jones - 349.5 yds passing Vandenberg - 1.5 TD passes Jones - 2.5 TD passes McNutt - 101.5 yds receiving McNutt - 6.5 catches Of course, there are no...

I agree Berg. It seems as though to be a true role model in athletics today an athlete must be covered in piercings and tattoos and carry the "thug" image. Having a shady past with drugs and/or crime also seems to glorify today's role models. Unfortunately, Tebow just doesn't possess the...

Harbaugh clearly out-coaching Tomlin. Keeping Rothlisberger in the game was incredibly stupid. Plus, this Steeler team is the most undisciplined team I have seen. Tomlin is overrated as a coach.

Iowa's DL performance and development has steadily declined since the Aiken exit and RK hire. I won't be disappointed. Also, could it be the Aiken will be coming as the new DC, and RK doesn't want to stay and have Aiken calling the shots as DC and DL coach?

I am starting to wonder if KF is going to hire from within. I am sure KF and the rest of the staff has known for awhile that Norm was done. If KF thought Parker or Wilson were the guy, wouldn't he have made it a done deal and announced them as the successor now? Why wait? I think he goes...

If Bama gets a nod in the championship game over Oklahoma State.

Statistically I am not sure if he ended up as their top runner. I believe the other back was named Singleton - former UNI player I think. He was a totally different runner than Coe - smaller, quicker. They used them both a lot, and actually were a very good passing team.

In talking with the IWCC coach, right now it is a slam dunk that he returns to Iowa. As of now he is not on their recruiting list because of his commitment to Iowa. Obviously things can change, but right now Rodney is focused on Iowa only. He played RB this year, and played well. The IWCC...

I don't see a scenario that brings Philbin back to Iowa other than Kirk leaving and Philbin being a candidate for the head job - that too not likely. As long as Kirk is at Iowa O'Keefe will be his OC. If O'Keefe looks at a head job, I still don't see Philbin coming to Iowa from his current...

but they have worked in the past, and generally are still working. Sure, I get tired of the defensive scheme sitting back and seemingly being on the heels all the time. However, defense wasn't the problem yesterday. It would have been nice to get off the field quicker, but 20 points is...

Iowa is always flat. The defense is always on their heels. QBs sit in the pocket all day - again costs the Hawks dearly today. Offense is predictable. What is there to be excited about?
