    You know a QB is really bad when . . .

    According to The Gazette and Pro Football Focus, only three of Deacon Hill's 13 passes vs. NW, excluding throwaways, went more than 10 yards. Think about that a minute. I would imagine there are some Pop Warner QBs who throw more than three 10-yard passes in a game. Yet some are pointing to...

    USC fired its DC--during the season--with only 2 games left! KF is appalled

    There ya go again. Another coach who doesn't understand you have to wait until the season is over before even considering the possibility of, maybe, making changes to the coaching staff. Of course, Lincoln Riley hasn't spent a quarter century at USC, so how would he know that? Shoulda called...

    Congrats to Angel Reese and LSU on their season opening loss

    Yes, sir, the women's all-star team down in Lousiana, led by the incomparable Angel Reese and a flamboyant coach whose name shall not be mentioned, opened the season by getting schooled 92-78 last night by the gals from Colorado. First time a preseason No. 1 team has lost its season opener in 28...

    A few thoughts on NW victory

    KF says it's nice that Iowa completed ONE 20-yard pass and that it would be nice if Iowa could complete a couple of those every game. Hill completed 10 of 15 passes vs. NW. A few even crossed the line of scrimmage in the air. That's a clever way to pump up that 38% completion rating. Hill...

    Some interesting news for King Kirk Ferentz and Family

    This just in: GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- KJ Jefferson connected with Tyrone Broden for a 4-yard score in overtime that lifted Arkansas to a 39-36 victory at Florida on Saturday, ending a six-game skid for the Razorbacks and giving them their first win in the Swamp in six tries. In Kenny Guiton's...

    Another smoke-and-mirrors win

    The West Division of the Big Ten is horrible. But you know that. And it's a huge injustice that one of its members will, one more time, be sent to the slaughter in Indy a few weeks hence. Then, in 2024, USC, UCLA, Washington, and Oregon join the divisionless BIG. Where will the old West Division...

    Bits n Pieces

    Brian Ferentz seems to me, from a great distance, to be an arrogant SOB. Here's one fact about the soon-to-be former OC/QB coach: When he was a player at Iowa, Brian and some buddies filed for, and were granted, Section 8 housing, housing meant for the poor and underprivileged. His dad was a...

    What coach would . . .

    . . . Stick with a QB rated 160th of 160, one who committed three game-losing TOs last week, and one who has completed 38% of his passes? The one and only, the venerable dean of coaches, the fantastic Kirk Ferentz, that's who. Football at Wrigley Field, a reminder of days gone by when the...

    Beth Goetz foolish decision

    LOL, Mrs. Ferentz. Iowa isn't likely to beat NW or win the mighty West Division, let alone beat Michigan or Ohio State in the BIG title game. Your husband finally has a boss, and he doesn't like that, does he . . . KF is a stubborn, senile old man, but you know that. He insists on sticking...

    Sharar Targeting Call Overturned

    More BS from the NCAA. I wonder how they managed to make a decision so quickly. LOL They're still studying their gambling penalties. SAD. I would have thought they would need several months to review everything. And what difference does it make? The Iowa player was unjustly maligned and banned...

    NCAA delays gambling revisons . . . AGAIN!

    NCAA says it needs TWO MORE WEEKS before it might vote to reduce the gambling punishments it has already handed out. What a crock. I'll say it again: Noah Shannon and others should sue the socks off the NCAA for this BS. What is it going to take before the Big Ten, SEC, Big 12 and whatever else...

    Now maybe you see why Labas should be the QB

    Hill's high school coach has been quoted, in the Press-Citizen I believe, as saying they spent hours and hours and weeks and weeks trying to teach Hill to throw a football properly. Apparently all that effort wasn't nearly enough. Back to water polo for Hill, IMHO.

    Why do our Hawkeyes have the worst QBs in the last 3 years in all of football?

    I could not agree more.

    News Flash

    This is the first season since, well, before Hayden Fry arrived in 1979, that I will have attended ZERO Iowa football games, home or away. And I won't be back until someone other than Ferentz is running things. So there's another seat for all you objective, "loyal" fans. LOL BTW: But I have...

    Hill, who Iowa snagged from Fordham, is 17-48 with his water polo arm

    I appreciate your new perspective. I didn't expect that. Not many people would do what you did. As you know, Iowa officially has the worst offense and worst QB in the country. As you also know, I suggested that would be the case once Hill was given the job. There's really nothing else to say...
