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.

Commercial Logos
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
I've watched enough Hard Knocks to know....

Hawks favored by 31.5 points over NIU
I was just looking at ESPN and noticed they have Iowa favored by 31.5 over NIU.That seems like a lot.I'm not a betting man but if I were I believe I'd put money on the Hawks not beating NIU by 32 or more points.I used to be in college football pools where you just picked the winner, no points involv

Not much insight from the Big Ten team visit. But they did say Brown was the Winner that day as Hecklinski was not good. Didn’t sound like they were very impressed with eitherGoing to be interesting to see how QB position goes

QB U?
Yeah, I know, I know but as has been stated by me and few others, this isn't your old Iowa three yards and a cloud of dust anymore under Lester. Time will tell how or if this works out.https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/fo...n&cvid=6a8ce13b2fe245c1a4b0b49451820dd3&ei=23
Cael Winter
Cael Winter is a great story. Injured in high school, never gave up, persevered, four years into the Hawkeye program he's finally getting his shot.Easy to get behind this kid and root for him.

Potential schools for T Banks
According toHawkeyesWire, Bank's potential schools are Gonzaga, LSU, Miss. State, and Oklahoma. It goes on to say that Oklahoma may no longer be an option. I'm glad he's getting interest from schools who I assume have money to spend. I hope Iowa doesn't regret bringing him back due to injuries or ot
Aaron Graves Return?
A bunch of 5th year guys who are in NFL camps have bee granted eligibility in Louisiana to return to college. There is some rumbling as to whether, if he doesn't make the Raven's roster, KF might lure Graves back for a 5th year? Its all just speculation, but it sure is interesting given the lack o

I know they weren't full on tackling, but he hit the hole hard and grinded after contact. Looks like a good one!!
You're the GM - 2026 Roster Edition
OK folx, after watching the news about the annual crop of QBs in the portal, I asked myself, "self, would you go to the portal to get a new QB?" My answer is no. This year we have a reasonably talented QB room, who knows the system. Our OC / Assist OC hand picked these guys. They don't have huge pr
Who are your breakout candidates?
Any thoughts on under-the-radar guys?Tony Diaz, Kade Pieper and Cam Buffington already have been receiving a lot of hype, so not really under the radar.I'll throw out a couple.Offense:RB L.J. Phillips. I saw some highlights of him while at S. Dakota. His line at times wasn't great, but he still mana
Hecklinski great day
He dominated at kids day. Brown was really bad. Sounds like he really took the lead at the QB position. I guess Sullivan had some positives
Declan Doyle
New OC for the Ravens. He spent a single year in that spot for the Bears, but I don't follow the Bears enough to know if he sucked or if the fans and players liked him.Is he a legit coach or just an OC flash in the pan and one of those guys who's going to move to a different town every year as a low
