Why do Iowa fans need to interject in a conversation they are not a part of? It is so weird, like they are completely unaware of their surroundings.
Really sucks if he isn't healthy enough to start either of the next two games. I was hoping he could settle in and get comfortable before Michigan. He really has seemed like he's just not relaxed. New team, big expectations and big away games.
I think the worst case scenario for the team and the QB controversy is Sims not being healthy to start until Michigan.

I’m just saying Iowa fans claim that about Memorial Stadium…and here we are claiming it’s done at Colorado. Is this the company we want to keep? Let’s quit discussing Colorado time to move on.
I'm going to throw 1 cautionary speculative concern into the mix.
We have only really seen HH in the spring games twice and now mop up duty against reserves.
In a couple of spring games, I thought the first one was low pressure and he just had fun and did a nice job. the second spring game I think had a lot more pressure to perform, and he didn't do so good.
I am drawing this concern on a really small sample size, and hope HH plays loose and just goes out there and has fun with his opportunities. He seemed to play better that way, based on the small amount we have seen from him.

His inexperience in general should be enough for all of us to be a little cautious.
For as big as NU is, it is not "that loud" it is just that Iowa fans are used to playing at Indiana and Purdue and NW.
I agree with the concern, but that is what a gamer is and I hope HH fits that mold. I've talked to someone that watches a lot of practices and says although not great, Sims doesn't look near that bad and practice and actually makes some really good throws. Then the lights come on and he tightens up. Sucks for the kid, but we need someone just like you described that just goes out and plays. I hope HH fits that and just goes out and puts his skill set on display.
The only sound we pump in is the idiot who yells "it's third down". We have 90,000+ fans. No need to pump in sound. The point being made about CU was they have a 55,000 seat stadium with a bunch of red mixed in. So people were questioning if 35,000 fans or whatever it was, could make that much noise.
Do college players ever take the Wunderlich test? I wonder if he just doesn't have the capacity between the ears while under extreme pressure?
He can obviously run incredible, no doubt there but the millisecond decision making skills that a QB needs are an entire different level
I truly felt like NU was on the verge of taking that game over right up until the end of Q2... Yes the defense but Gabe was running so solid and I cringed EVERY time he left the field... Had Simms not self destructed into a turnover machine I think the run game would have turned that day into an old fashion ground and pound... especially with how good the defense was playing...
Gabe is the best thing DONU has for a skill player on offense this year...
Sometimes a starting pitcher just isn't getting it done as a starter - so they move them to the bullpen where they end up flourishing. Not saying Sims is one of those guys but it's possible he'd be better sitting a couple series in the 1st half and getting a different perspective - or even just coming off the bench.
