    Rhoads Is Out of Gas!

    It is definetely different with the QB situation. My guess is the coaches have a pretty good idea of who's starting. If I was Rhoads I wouldn't tell the media and would just send someone out there the first series. In saying that I'd make sure the reps in practice are correctly proportioned. In...

    Rhoads Is Out of Gas!

    For the record, this thread was supposed to be a joke. I could care less who starts at right guard as long as they get the job done. Based on Bleil's O-lines, I'm sure they'll be a strength for this team. In essence, I'm mocking the quarterback threads. I'm sure Rhoads knows what he's doing. I...

    Rhoads Is Out of Gas!

    Who starts at right guard? Both players were mediocre last year. By not picking a starter yet it seems to me that neither has improved a lot and our offensive line is in trouble. Without picking a starter the coaches aren't letting one guy get the reps he needs to improve. This is a sure sign...

    Jantz, Barnett still battling for starting nod

    Is it possible that we all think that Barnett is the better runner simply because more running plays were called when Barnett was playing quarterback? Obviously that wasn't the case against Oklahoma State, but we were very much a run first team against Texas Tech. I never felt like Steele had a...

    Jantz, Barnett still battling for starting nod

    I trust Rhoads on this. Very good college quarterbacks have split time before. Jamarcus Russell and Matt Flynn for example. I think Vince Young at a point split time at quarterback too. And once again, no matter who is the starter the backup will get some reps in practice, now the reps are just...

    Jantz, Barnett still battling for starting nod

    I personally don't think this splitting reps is all that different than CPR has and will always do. Two years ago I would assume Arnaud got the most practice reps, but Tiller also got a fair share. Same thing last year after Iowa when it was assumed Jantz was the guy the number 2,3, etc. would...

    Since RB is a strength and QB is not....

    Be a run first team, but still stay spread out, and try to aboid the diamond formation. Maybe switch things up more with more change at who's running back, more shovel passes to Jarvis West and Aaron Horne. Staying spread will emphasize speed rather than strength, and give us oppurtunities to...

    Best Post Game Moment ESPY

    There should be an ESPY for Best Post Game Moment. Then we'd win one every year with Rhoads's speeches, assuming nobody proposes after a game or anything.

    Jeff Woody-History Will Be Made

    I go with Tessitore, because I think right before the final play he said something along the lines of "nearly a four touchdown underdog was Iowa State, and now ready to shock the college football world." One of the coolest things I've ever heard an announcer say.

    James White Reminds Me of...

    Arob had a wheel route touchdown against Nebraska in Ames a few years ago and another the year before against Colorado. I think both of them were around 20 yards.

    Get me lost in Iowa

    Kind of off topic but there is a town in Benton County called Keystone, Iowa. I think it's a town of about 600. Anyway, Keystone almost became home to Notre Dame. When Notre Dame was built a grant was given by a farmer to build the college, unfortunately the grant in South Bend was bigger. Their...

    Jamie Dixon to TCU?

    Not only is it an unrealistic hire, it's not even the best hire available. I would say Eustachy, Floyd, or Doc Sadler would all be better hires.

    when should we expect bubu to get some P.T.

    I don't buy the crap about messing with chemistry. It might be a little set back, but Bubu still bings more positives to the game in my mind. I also don't see us making a tourney run without him in the rotation and getting 15 minutes a game. Keeping him on the bench is like quitting after the...
