    NU @ UI Prediction Thread

    not true this year. iowa offense (other than 1 player) is bad but remarkably it is still the better unit (compared to iowa defense). you'll see tomorrow.

    NU @ UI Prediction Thread

    qb is flawed, executes turnovers, and has the shittiest arm in cfb. on saturday he will be a fantastic weapon for nu there's no quality WR either. without KJ iowa can't sniff the endzone you may also enjoy ravishing our boyish defense

    NU @ UI Prediction Thread

    i will have what you are smoking. iowa has exactly 1 weapon, the rb you mentioned. NU on the other hand has at least 4 weapons who ostensibly play for iowa.

    Most disappointed I’ve been watching a game in a decade

    iowa fan here. was extremely apprehensive about this game because on paper this was a bad match up for us. you might have hit the nail on the head about blitzing deacon…the film likely shows yhat as well.

    Go after Kafka

    sounds fantastic. we'll definitely consider him though it will have to be at the OC spot for which the main requirement at iowa is that the candidate have minimal experience with an ancillary aspect of football and a tenous nfl connection. apologies for the delayed response but it's been crazy...

    Go after Kafka

    You guys should consider Brian Ferentz. He has underwhelmed as an OC but the guy is wired to be a fantastic HC. Unfortunately, he’s been severely stymied as an OC by being forced to run his dad’s schemes, upside is that you get a diamond (as HC) nobody knows about. Given a chance to do his own...

    Iowa -7.5 and O/U 34.5

    for rutgers to have any shot at winning, the only hope really is for your defense to be gentle when sacking petras and take similar precautions when bringing him down on the rare occasion he takes off on long winding runs of 2-3 yards. :-)

    Sounds awfully familiar (from the Iowa board on the state of their O)...

    Accurate post. in my estimate #1 is 85% of the problem 2, 3a, and 3b are 5% each.

    Is Hilinski a lock to start on Saturday?

    based on what you wrote, there is tangible evidence that marty might be your guy. very similar to what iowa fans have experienced in the past— when a backup who provided a spark previously is given the start, good things have happened.

    Is Hilinski a lock to start on Saturday?

    this scenario is played out annually at iowa as well. in our case, in yhe past we have had tangible evidence (in the form of brief but excellent live game performance) as the basis for controversy (this year that’s not the case, backup has looked worse but apparently he will be better if he...

    Is Hilinski a lock to start on Saturday?

    as a ha_keye fan, i have a deep understanding of qb issues including the brilliant backup conundrum. that said, I’m not familiar with your team’s qb controversy. is it similar to current iowa woes where the starter isn’t thought to be doing well and fans are convinced that the benchwarmer is...

    Ioa minus 10, O/U 40.5

    if you guys are going to beat us at least arrange for a high scoring game. beat us 45-38 or some such letting petras throw for 5 TDs. such a loss would stupefy iowa fans and they wouldn’t know how to recalibrate their bitching and it would make our board a lot more entertaining. thank you.

    My column: Finally, the Hunter Johnson mystery is solved

    Hawkeye fan here. Article explains the constraints your team is operating under, now it all makes sense. Not many teams could gut it out without folding like you guys under such circumstances. Best wishes to Fitz and HJ.
