    BiG TeN BoWlS

    I agree. I love B1G football, and always root for the other B1G teams in non conference games. I also think those 3 matchups are the ones to watch, and I would include the Michigan vs Alabama game. It's a tall order for Michigan, and don't think they win, but I really hope they do, because I...

    RIP Hayden Fry

    Thank you for the kind words of our beloved former head coach, Husker fans. Very classy. Hayden is revered in the state of Iowa. After inheriting a losing program, he turned it around in his 3rd year, after two losing seasons. I have a feeling Scott Frost may do likewise. Good luck on signing...

    Is Iowa our Rival? According to TO, they are not...

    He hit a walk off field goal to beat an undefeated and 3rd ranked Michigan team 3 years ago. I would say that qualifies as his highlight.

    Is Iowa our Rival? According to TO, they are not...

    I would say it's "a" rivalry but not "the" rivalry for either program. By that I mean we both play in the same division in the same conference and reside right across the river from each other. Both fan bases don't like the other, and so in that sense it is a rivalry. Much the same as any other...

    Purdue 2020

    Purdue is a tough out for anybody in the league. Just ask Urban Meyer. Brohm is a helluva coach, and had they not had so many injuries, I think they would have been in the thick of things this year.

    Good game

    Husker fans I know the result wasn't what you wanted, but your team will continue to get better each year. It was a hard fought game and nothing to be ashamed of. Good programs don't stay down for long, and Nebraska has an exceptional program. Good luck next year and see you in Kinnick.

    Iowa looked good again today

    Iowa's offense is average to below average between the 20's, and is abysmal in the red zone. Fortunately we have a good kicker who just set the B1G record for field goals in a season. But our defense is very good. Iowa has held 8 of the 11 teams they've played to season lows and nobody has...

    Iowa, Minn, or Wis?

    I just don't see Wisconsin losing another game (which pains me to say). Minnesota is a very interesting team in that I don't think they are as good as their record indicates, but I also think that they are a good team that has built momentum and shouldn't be overlooked. I can see them winning...

    Iowa, Minn, or Wis?

    As much as I love my Hawks, they are not a championship level team this year. A very good defense with an abysmal offense. Minnesota hasn't played anybody, and they will come crashing back to earth when they face Penn State and also will lose to Wiscy. I think Wisconsin is still the best of the...

    Iowa’s defense

    Going into the Illinois game Iowa's defense ranked 10th in the nation in total defense and 13th in scoring defense. The stats haven't been updated yet, but after a shutout I would expect those rankings to rise. The problem with Iowa is not it's defense, but with the offense. It looks good to...
