FWIW, I have it on good authority that Petras is legitimately good in practice. The staff and players alike were really surprised when he sucked last year. Some guys just don’t have it when the bullets start flying, and unfortunately it looks like Petras may be one of those guys.

I have on good authority this is not true. They were concerned about him going into last season

That's actually a really good article

That is a good article, but it seems like if the program won more the cost of the bad press would be worth it? According to the writer.

Condon just said on the radio that Petras isn't the guy to get Iowa to the next level.

No ****

Well if Padilla and Hogan can’t surpass Petras, what does it say about them?

been saying it since before he signed that Hogan was WAY too over hyped...
y’all think Petras is inaccurate....

Yea, he has a bionic arm in practice and then can't throw a 15 yard square out in a game. My guess is that based on practice ratings, Iowa has won the last 3 National Titles.

Shouldn’t we be getting more out of Kirk Ferentz given the headlines on his watch?

Iowa Football: Just a Guy Asking Questions

Expecting a couple more division titles over the past decade is fair. But to expect Iowa to be better than Wisconsin year after year is silly. The trend over the last few years is encouraging. Winning bowl games over good teams and recruiting classes continuing to improve is a very good sign. If ISU not making the big 12 championship every year is considered a bad season, the program is in for a lot of disappointment. Winning 8 games is my expectation for Iowa, exceeding it is a fun and successful season. Not many programs can say that.

A lot of programs have higher ethical standards than Iowa.

Benji, you would ridicule the **** out of an ISU fan for posting trash like that.

They really struggle when meanwhile stuff this is happening.

That's a pretty low bar when you play in the Big Ten West IMO. Especially given the off the field issues

Trust me when I can say it's 100% false too. They were playing the "no spring ball" card as loud as they could from inside the football facilities

What's funny? You avoid Ohio State almost every year so even 8 wins running a clean program seems kinda low given your schedule

Shut up. If you didn’t serve **** your ****** analogy.

Iowa is also the poster child to promoting scapegoating and paying settlements so they don't have to fire captain sleazeball.

Your qbs suck and you guys aren’t in on any good qb recruits.

I actually have it on very good authority that Iowa is going to struggle immensely in throwing the football downfield. No size in that WR room and an inaccurate QB is not a good recipe.
