Hope the guys have a good visit and see how special it is to be a Hawk. Is there an open gym?
ISU Pre-game discussion
Happy about a 40-0 win, but thinking long term, I would like to see the Hawks do better on 3rd / 4th down conversions.During during the NIU game, I felt they were struggling at times to convert against weak opposition.Post game stats on total conversions during the NIU game were 6/17 or 35%.6/14 3rd
Decals…
Moving past the topic of reacting to the heat…I haven’t done much media perusal today…Heard mention of removing the decals à la Hayden Fry (god rest his soul) 2019.Is this actually being considered or talked about by the U or is it just HN banter?
3-3-5
Haven't seen any discussion on this. What did everyone think of Parker's latest tweak to scheme? I like it. It acknowledges we are weak at DT and that our DEs maybe are a bit oversized and not exactly speed rushers. Compress the DL and use outside LBs and quicker DEs to generate outside pash rus
I screwed Up
I did not follow the rules for off topic moderated. Fry moved my post, which is what should be done. Sorry guys.
What Would You Think Of This Rule Change?
If a team is backed up in their own territory far enough that full penalty yardage can't be applied, the ball goes on the 1 yard line and the first down is moved out farther to make up the balance of the yardage.So if you're on your own 2 yard line and false start, the ball goes on the 1 and the lin

RB Phillips not on this week's 2-deep.
I see Phillips is not on the 2-deep released today. Glad we've got a deep RB room this season -- looks like we might need 'em all.
Let's have some ISU fun
I Hate Notre Dame…
As much as the Yankees, ISU, and almost as much as nebraska.I think it’d be funny as hell for them to get beat on their own network during prime time.
Apple Cup
I expected more from Washington. WSU just drove the field and punched it in for at TD. Score is 10-7 with 10 min to go in 4th quarter.So long as the hawks don't let that UW QB loose they'll have a good chance to win.
70!
My needs and wants as a born and raised Hawk fan are simple....annual beat downs of the clowns.I know we've never put up 70 in my lifetime but we absolutely can and should in this game. This is the time to embarrass little bro and bring them back down to reality.Bury them and piss on their grave. No
QB expectations.
Commentators and fans alike seemed pleased overall about yesterday's QB play. I hate to be a kill-joy after a pleasant 40-0 win, but this is such a sad commentary of how low expectations are for Iowa's QBs. After yesterday's opening drive vs one of the worst teams in college football, starter Brow
Vander Zee returning kicks
A little worrying due his injury history. Anyone thinking the same? Or was he just the up man on that return?
Michigan lucked out
Hail Mary to win 13-12. Western MichiganMaybe not an auto loss for Hawks at Michigan
Who's going to Start the conversation....?
LOL ME !!! I liked how they coached it today ........ but ........?
Final predictions
Hawks are likely to run the ball until they get to the 40 or at least nothing fancy until they get down field.There will be interceptionsThe Iowa D will not disapoint

Freddy coming to Iowa / ISU game
In case you don't use Twitter. Three german teens / early 20 year olds gained a lot of followers this summer as they traveled the southern states while coming for the World Cup. They won the hearts of so many as they observed american culture. They decided to come back to USA for a college football

Week One Games Thread
We’re at the point where I watch football nonstop until the West coast games are done. GF is watching but she’ll be on to the Kindle in a couple hours I’m guessing, Iowa and nebraska are the only games she doesn’t miss any of.Meanwhile, back at the ranch….UMass, who had like 4 player fatalities when
Starting QB
Posters on the other board are stating that word is leaking out that Brown will start Saturday. He "started" Kids Day so I guess nothing too shocking there. We will see how it all plays out.

Golf outing rumors
Number of golfers from outing are repeating rumors that Iowa QBs are equally bad. Of course I never believe golfers on the course but I have to admit it adds to the fear we are going to have a pretty good team with the worst QBs in the Big Ten
ESPN names Iowa football among potential first-time champions in 2026
MSNNow I realize that this is pretty much media hyping up college football and their fan bases, but it should help with recruiting.From the article "they've lost their past seven games against top-10 teams by an average of 33-7." Would have been better to leave that part out.

Many teams are going to put them on. It’s now legal to put 2 logos on. Is Iowa going to do that
Why doesn't Iowa claim 4 National Championships?
Let me preface this by saying that no NCAA college football team as ever won a NC as the NCAA doesn't have a means of deciding it, they simply acknowledge the acknowledgement of outside entities (AP, etc.). But with that said, is there some reason we don't claim the 4 years we were tops in an estab
Are we a year away?
Iowa has the least returning starts away in the Big Ten. Ohio State can get away with reloading but Iowa is a developmental program making it more difficult to win with such a young and inexperienced team. Add the fear that we just don’t have a top notch QB and a very difficult start to the Big Ten
