Big get out of SC!
Didn't the Hawks use to do some open gym After some of these big games?
Or is it to early?
November 4, 2017, can history repeat!

Gameday Signs
Over on the Hawkeye subreddit there's a thread with some pretty good suggestions. What are some of yours?These two aren't mine, but I thought they were awesome..."Brian Ferentz Scored 55 On You""I Got A Helmet Sticker For Making This Sign""Diego Pavia - Check... Michigan 2-2 - Check... You're Welcom
What is everyone's tallies for watching " THE CATCH" over and over ??
I've got to be close to 20.... That's... you tube shorts, pod cast ,and after analyzation etc.
Is it time to talk about the O-Line?
Well 4 games in. 2 were scrimages and then we have ISU and UM. Both teams stuffed Iowa's run game. Something good will have to click or we're looking at 7-5 / 8=4. Tim is going to have to scheme around it this year I'm afraid.. Its always something.
Funny secondhand story from Ann Arbor
My kid (m22) went with a coworker and a couple other dudes to the game on Saturday. I distinctly warned my kid to not be an asshat and get into trouble.He's not an asshat, but you know....he's a kid. He drinks beer. And can be a bit of a kid/provoker.In that respect, he behaved well. And said overal
Purdue game
I am going to bring my family up for the Purdue game and wanted to pick your brains as to what to do/where to go? We have already booked an ABNB at a farm, so for my step boys that will be brand new because they have never seen anything really anything other than the Southeast. I grew up in Iowa b
Sagarin After Week 4
Again I present to you the real metric of who's better, not the AP Popularity Contest.This means absolutely nothing after a sample size of 4 weeks, but this is the internet, and the purpose of the internet is to argue about dumb shit with people you've never met.Notables...B1GOSU - 2Oregon - 4Indian
Lipsey
Seeing cryptic messages that he got a 5th year. Shit, I guess that was 5 days ago...
OSU Jerseys
Have a colleague who is dead set in his mind that Iowa should bring back the 2017 OSU alternates for this game. Can't change his mind. I think that colleague is a complete moron.What happened in 2017 is not going to happen again. Period. That's not a dig at our football team, it's a reality in 2026.
Captain Insane-O's Michigan Takeaways
Wow, what a game! I, like everyone else, will remember this one.Well, about the prediction of the game, I was right and wrong at the same time. I predicted the Hawks would win, but not anywhere close to the way that they did. I thought our defense would contain them much better than what they did
Ohio St's ...... Wide Receiver
No one can cover him in ( us or the league). We have to figure out how to slow him down, without giving up our run contain.Simple as that, and try to keep it close and play IOWA football
Iowa 14 point underdog
4-0 ranked 14 playing at home in a tough place for opponents. Ohio State has pros especially on offense. Our secondary is really going to get challenged
Game day in Iowa city
Been 20 years. Wish we were playing someone other then Ohio StateCan we hold them under 40?
The middle of the B1G is looking dangerous
I felt Wisky was better than people thought, but all of a sudden, Nebby, NW, UCLA and Minnesota all look dangerous, and appear to be closing the gap on the conference powers. And, Illinois is better than they looked yesterday.Suddenly, the back half of our schedule is looking a bit more daunting.
TE U followed by WR U
As a 50 year fan celebrate 5 decades followed by a win in the big house what a memory for me and all Hawkeye fansLGH LGH LGH LGH................
I Friggin’ Told You All We Had This Thing In The Bag
Eat that, doubters…
Hank has earned his job
No Interceptions!!! He took care of the ball well and played good down the stretch. Pretty sure they knew what they were doing despite the good practice (kids day) by Heck. I had more issues with some of the play calling than the execution. But not complaining. It'll be Fun to watch this team
Final predictions / throughts - Michigan
EVERYONE says this will be a low scoring game. That Iowa won't win but may beat the spread. Everyone says, without saying so, that this is the same old Iowa. A team that has to run in order to pass; and that they're not likely to run very well. The belief is that they really can't move the ball on
Michigan Scheduling Oddity.
I was just listening to Legends & Listeners podcast. Scott D. just said that interestinglyMichigan is scheduled to come back to Kinnick again in 2027.Quite odd.I know when we play Ohio State, it seems often times that we go to the Shoe consecutive times, but typically with a few yrs in between. It s

has Iowa as outright favorite and going under on total. 18.6 to 8.9They do not post there YTD results so difficult to see how they have done year to data. In looking at a few games this week, the total is well below the 38.5 where a few other games are predicted much closer to the Vegas over unde
UNI Takeaways and Michigan Outlook
Granted UNI is an FCS team and because of the current state of college football there is even more talent disparity between them and the P4 teams than ever before. Saying that though, tons of great things happened. I am not sure that the Iowa offense in the Petras/Hill/McNamara years could put up
Braeden Jackson recruitment
This post is for those of you in Iowa more in the know than me.I read where Jackson only had two college options, Iowa Western or walk on at Iowa. How could that be?His player profile says he is 5'11" so he's not too short. It says he's 205 lbs but he could have been frail in high school. But he won
The season starts now
Obviously, it's hard to glean much from the UNI game, but at the very least we saw growth in terms of running the offense that Lester envisioned. Our RB depth is insane. I was hoping we would see a lot of Braeden Jackson and he didn't disappoint.Hank Brown has done everything asked of him and deserv
Has It Ever Happened Before?
I know that it was against an inferior opponent, but I was wondering if any team had ever had three different running backs rush for over 100 yards each when the number 1 and 2 running backs didn’t have a single carry?I don’t know how you would go about researching that, but that was the most impres

Iowa playing North Dakota in week 0 next year
Dang, that'd suck to have a perfect season ruined before the calendar hits September.Might be a hot one, too. Gotta hope it is isn't like a 2 pm kick.

Man.... there are NO 4 game stretches, that we don't play a tough team It'll be fun !!
The Hiring of Fry
Just read an interesting article on the change of culture in Iowa football. 1979 we went to Oklahoma as 6 touchdown underdogs. Gave them good game but lost. Reporter told Fry gave them a good game. Fry responded by saying we lost! What would Iowa football be today if we had not hired Fry?? Thanx
Anyone going to the UNI game?
The Mrs. and I are making our yearly Kinnick trek together.(We went to the Indiana game last year)(She's an Illinois fan, but is always game for an outing)Ted Pacha area.Ramp #3Oh, and I'm the one spending one month's worth of social security to do the same for the OSU game(Different person going wi
Refereeing at the women's hoops World Cup...
...or whatever it's called.It was pure pleasure to watch a basketball game at the pro level where no matter how or when a foul was called, the offending player simply turned around and went to the other end of the court. No complaining. No whining. No gesturing. No arms flailing. No rolled eyes
Take-aways
1. What happened to the Shanahan/McVay/LaFleur offense? There wasn't a semblance of it last night. Minimal misdirection. Minimal motion. Almost zero "pop-passes." No screens. You have to wonder if Lester has lost some confidence in the players' ability to learn and execute the core concepts. To be f
Early grades for last nights beat down of Clones
Kicking game. To my surprise was very goodAQB. No turnovers or sacks. Big play down field to Diaz was the difference maker. Not mobile and no threat to run. Didn’t spread ball around as he concentrates on DiazB-RBs. Pretty much no factor. No where to runC-WRs. Diaz. A. Difference maker. Rest inco

Should be a lot cooler, a lot more hype!! Make it good for the recruits attending! Need to win this one....., upsets and BIG teams getting beat all over. Show who we are!!
Lester
Hope folks are enjoying what he's done and in the middle of doing. Hopefully we really maximize this season. I say that because what do we place the odds at of him returning another yr as OC? The OC whomever it ended up being that would be able to 'fix' Iowa after the BF fiasco was going to have to
According to KF
In his interview on the Rich Eisen show yesterday, Kirk says that he was informed by the Big 10 that what happened at the end of the Michigan debacle won't happen again. When the game clock shows zeros the game is over.
