    Totally hopeless

    Iowa chased Steve Alford out after we promised him a new basketball practice facility, which never materialized. It was a mistake IMHO. He had to share practice time with the girls volleyball team and the girls basketball team. He since then has put out some really good basketball teams. What I...

    Totally hopeless

    Hey, you played a better than usual Iowa team. You need to be patient, give a guy four or five years so long as you see growth.

    What should be the offensive approach vs. Iowa?

    Nope, they saw right. The year is young and so are a couple of our DB's. They will be much better by the end of the year, but they are raw right now. No way you stop our pass rush, so you have to release in three seconds or less, or roll out of the pocket in a pass/option configuration to buy...

    We only win 62% or so of our in conference games over the last five years, so we have that drinking thing down. Ten year in conference is around 52%. Really good at it in fact. Drinking I mean.

    injury updates from Iowa board

    The SEC is starting to look like the Big 12. Three power teams and everyone else.

    Short of winning the game...

    Rutgers worries me a great deal long term, as you have a really deep talent pool to draw from. However, it is going to take a decade or two for you to catch up on the facilities. Having to buy your way out of the last conference was a financial hit. Iowa, MSU, MI, OSU, Penn State and Wisconsin...

    Short of winning the game...

    Honestly, you guys have some decent receivers and a guy that can sling the ball. Our DB's are unproven. This is why we play the games. I do not, nor do most on our board see Iowa covering the 20 pt. spread. Seven to ten pt. spread is highly possible. Plus a one-possession game can always be...

    What do the Cats need to do to beat Iowa,Wisconsin,Michigan and Michigan State?

    As an Iowa fan, I hope I am wrong, however I think Iowa has three or four losses going into the Northwestern Game, and Iowa has two tough away games in a row prior to NW coming to Kinnick. Iowa State, Wisconsin, Penn State and Purdue are all likely losses in my book. Our offensive line is like...

    Reality check....that I never really thought of.

    You missed the $190million that the Gophers are putting into their facilities over the next 5 years. In the war of facilities, Norhtwestern and Illinois are the laggards in our division. Purdue, Indiana, Rutgers and Maryland in the East.

    I'm sick of posters kicking us because of the 5-6 record.

    Come to the Dark side, Old Man. Come to the Darkside!

    I'm sick of posters kicking us because of the 5-6 record.

    Michigan State just is not that good, have you watched them play more than one game this year? Either Parity has arrived in College Football, or everyone is down this year, IDK which. Iowa is not 11-0 number 3 in the nation good, nor is Michigan State. Both teams have just gotten the breaks...

    I'm calling it today... Nebraska wins by blowout!

    The suspensions to be announced today are going to crush your optimism on this one. Contributing to the Delinquency of a Minor who gets raped at your house, in this PC environment, is going to sting. Welcome to the Big Ten, action is being demanded from high places.
