I don't think it is staying out of the NFL's lane enough. Most of the general sports public have moved on from college football after Jan 1, when the NFL playoffs really start to pick up. If FCS can run a 24 team tourney, then FBS should be able to, too. Sure, there'd be bitching from teams...

The timing feels so messed up. Last night was a final four game (and turned out to be great), but feels so anti-climatic with a random Thursday, January 8th game. When these playoffs shift to 24 teams, what would you think of the timing of the games? Depending on the day of the week, like a...

Williams is back at UW. So last Friday he announces he has signed a contract to return for his junior year, on Tuesday announces he is in the portal and leaving, and on Thursday it's announced he is back at UW, under the same contract he signed 6 days before. By the way, $4M for one year. So...

I agree. He's definitely not an every down QB. But in reality, he never had much of a shot to be a #2 QB on someone's roster. So I think he benefited from this season by showing he's a leader who is tough as hell, can take a pounding at the Big Ten/SEC level, and was also a weapon as a runner...

Is there even such a thing as tampering these days?

Big news out here in the Pac-NW. UW's stud sophomore QB announces he has signed a big contract to stay with the Huskies on Friday, but then yesterday enters the portal. UW is going after him for breach of contract. Should be interesting, although it seems like little good will come of it for UW...

Apparently several guys were sick, including Stirtz. Makes sense.

John Harbaugh have any interest in getting back to his roots as a special teams coordinator? He is available.

Yeah, I get uncomfortable bagging on a kid who just spent 4 years working his ass off (and we all cheered for). Nobody "lied" to anyone. He told the media he planned to be back and then he entered the portal. Nobody did anyone dirty here. It's a brutal, violent sport with lots of folks making...

Take it easy. He spent 4 years at Iowa - played his ass off this season. He was third on the team in tackles. He was voted a team captain all 13 times this season. Can't blame the kid for telling the media right after a game that he planned to be back. Maybe he wasn't sure.

Or we could ask why doesn't Iowa pay the man his market value?

You know, it's interesting. Obviously college football is a mess, but in many ways, we have better parity at the top than we've had in years. And some of the blue bloods maybe aren't actually blue bloods in this new order. I'm loving the final four right now. Remember how awful it was watching...

Pullman is a town of 30,000 waaaaaay out in the sticks. You can piss into Idaho from there. It's a four to five hour drive to all the population in western Washington. The Palouse is an agricultural area. Mike Leach used to cut through soybean fields on his long walk to work every morning. He...

Chris White, Bobby Kennedy, Kelton Copeland...were also misses in the past decade or so.

when has kirk ever hired a guy without experience as a full time coaching assistant, much less as a coordinator?

I hope so. Special teams were pretty bad in the few years before Kirk gave Woods the job. I think Woods did an uncommonly good job...almost everything he touched turned to gold in special teams, from kickers to punters to returners. We started to take it for granted. And if it was as easy as...

Really gotta love social media. Guy re-posted an Iowa State tweet saying "Still our state." And then took it down. When looking at what the current president posts daily (among other people), this is about the tamest shit ever. Makes for a fun chuckle or two on this old message board, but...

There is zero chance Kirk is hiring Desmond King as ST coordinator for next season. If King is interested in launching a coaching career and starting it at Iowa, it'd be as some type of low level administrative assistant or even volunteer basis. Basically starting at the bottom rung.

First they came for the punter...

Absolute home run hire for Michigan in my opinion. Perfect coach at the perfect time for them. They didn't deserve to back into a coach like this.
