    7-0 to start...

    Just a couple points to make. First Big Red began rebuilding last year and finished 8-4. Now I am totally lost as to how you think you are ahead in the rebuilding process. Secondly before predicting victory this fall take into consideration the last time ISU won in Lincoln Jimmy Carter was...

    Big Day for Shonn Greene is good for ISU

    That would be like Clone fans when Chizik left. Although unlike Ag State Iowa would have several candidates from which to choose.

    If KF goes to the NFL, do the Hawks get Gill??

    Do not think it will happen. Turner signed an extension and he is a man of his word. He also assured players he would be back next year.

    The biggest question mark sorrounding the Iowa/SC game

    I come here because I live in this state so like to keep abreast of the in state teams. However, it only reinforces why I am not a Clone fan. Hopefully someday you will get over the inferiority complex Clone fans suffer from the Hawks and get on with life and worry about winning football...

    Upset Hawkeyes

    And what you would not give to have ISU there. It amazes me how clone fans like to belittle the Hawk accomplishments to make themselves feel better. If memory serves me correctly ISU has never played in a New Years bowl.

    12/16/08 Official Head Coaching Search Thread

    One item to think about with Gary Patterson is he was one of your top candidates a couple years ago as well as one of our top candidates when we hired Bo. For some reason he was not hired at either place whether that means he was not interested or the two hires just were better selections its...

    Greg Ohlson talks with Darius Darks (Requires Free Membership)

    Be prepared to lose several recruits. I can tell you that from experience. When Callahan left it was like rats fleeing a sinking ship. Bo was able to woo a couple of them back but still we lost somewhere around 10 recruits. Most of these kids anymore commit to the coach opposed to the...

    NUs QB Keller Cited for Class 3 Misdemeanor

    I will be glad when ISU accomplishes something on the field so we there can be posts of accomplishments instead of anti Iowa and Nebraska which have won titles on the field.
