Bruce-you forget to mention MORE SEATS Soldier field-61,500 Lucas Oil-63,000 Assuming a sell out at both venues, that's at least a net + to the tune of $150,000

Hawks 3 pt FG % defense in Big Ten play=40% BHGP analyzes every contest using EFG: EFG% Effective Field Goal Percentage; the formula is (FG + 0.5 * 3P) / FGA. This statistic adjusts for the fact that a 3-point field goal is worth one more point than a 2-point field goal. For example...

Uncle-Percentage defense is relative. Number of made 3 pt fg's is what I am interested in, if you use percentage defense, 5-9 against is worse then 10-30 against, but you lose against the opponent that goes 10-30 more often than against the team that goes 5-9 even though 5-9 is a worse % against.

...3 pt fg defense team in the history of Div 1 men's basketball? I tried the interwebs, and can't find anything definitive. Not sure what I expected but this is the single most frustrating perimeter defense in my lifetime.

Point one, concerning... Point two, So? The approach should be, 7-5 is good enough, lets play laser-tag for conditioning? Nice job Rittenberg....

Anyone know birthdates of players left on the roster? I have been wondering who was at Jakes or the Fieldhouse for a birthday, accompanied by at least 13 teammates on Saturday night or Sunday...

Iowa says 12 football players hospitalized - USATODAY.com Says it's JB, Dibona, Poggi

The final installment of A Brief History of Iowa Football is up, Here: An History of Iowa Football PART VIII: Captain Kirk, 1999-Present - Black Heart Gold Pants I am not sure if it is because I am a relatively new father, if its because of the skill displayed in conveying the message, or...

We moved from IC to St. Louis in August of 1985 when my parents finished their MBA's and were at my grandparent's house in Waverly for Thanksgiving. As a 5 year old, I have no memory of 1-2 game day, but my aunt and uncle were the first to have a VCR, they brought it to Thanksgiving with one...

If this is true, all of the criticism of KF's ability to motivate/fire up the players is BS. I would LOVE to be a fly on the wall for the honorary captain's address to the players at the end of practice tomorrow.

DBA-That's precisely why this makes no sense to me. I haven't seen many collegiate secondaries support the run as well as the Hawks do, so I don't see the point in running a 3-4, unless Bernstein and Castillo are worse at coverage than Tarp, Neilsen, etc. That is what I am trying to figure out.

CR-The hawks have repeatedly gone to a 3-4 defense in the past 3 games in obvious passing situations (so obvious that most teams would be employing a nickel) rather than a nickel D. When asked KF says that LB injuries have hurt us in these situations. It seems odd to me, or frightening, or...

Given that many of our opponents spread us out to isolate slot receivers against LB's in passing situations, and its cost us games KF's entire career, KF says if we weren't so thin at LB we would be better in 3-4 formations against this type of offense. My question is, are we really that bad...

Grandma-IMO Tressel will bring a spread package to Iowa City next week because he wrote the beat Iowa blueprint in their preparation for the 2006 game. You can pick on Fitz, and Dantonio all you want, but the product on the field shows that Fitz is a much better game manager and game planer...

KF's "we do what we do" approach will always fail in games where the other team is gearing up to beat us. We've had 20 year old kids say after the games in which we laid eggs say, we knew that if we executed our game plan they wouldn't stop us or adjust. And BB was so confident in KF's...

This is the single most spot on statement of the meltdown and the most clear answer to the question hawkeye nation is struggling with, "why do we continue to lose to NW?"

The stat that I'd be most interested in seeing is in the past 10 years, what is the conversion rate against our defense in 3rd down situations in which we face 3 + wide receivers. This year alone, we gave up a fourth down conversion and two third's AFTER WI's fake punt, AZ ran 3-4 wide their...

I was actually pleasantly surprised at the end of the first half on Saturday when we moved the ball on a short field and scored to end the half. I agree that it hasn't happened often, but thought the end of the half was a step forward, and a reflection on the confidence KOK has in his guys...

My take: 1) We really miss Amari Spivey's ability to play on an island. Last season freed up Tyler Sash and Brett Greenwood to play cover two over 2/3 of the field, rather than having to play a true cover two with a man over both Prater and Hyde like we are seeing this season. 2) Jim...

Shame on you for posting this article here. KF apologists only.
