    Bowl Question for Iowa fans

    The fact that you refer to a game played by two state schools in Iowa that has been lopsided as a “Super Bowl” says everything I need to know about your football knowledge. Here is a football fact for you... There are two college quarterbacks who played HS football in the Phoenix metro. One is...

    Bowl Question for Iowa fans

    The next game on their schedule is the most important. If this is IOWA’s Super Bowl, we win a whole hell of a lot of Super Bowls. And your infatuation with Purdy is weird. If I weren’t from IOWA, I can’t say that I could name the quarterback for ISU. He is a very good, scrappy player, but...

    Bohannon out for year

    I realize that you posted this with the hope that he transfers, but it won’t matter for the result against the clones in 2020 if that is what you truly care about. Clones will be favored about 720 days from now when we head back to Ames.

    Iowa Basketball's Super Bowl

    Or we could change it to “Pollard can do no wrong as long as we go to a bowl game”. The thing that makes me happy after spending time here is knowing that Barta has to answer for his results and is not insulated by a bunch of people who believe he can do no wrong.

    Iowa Basketball's Super Bowl

    I would likely take it, but I would certainly take the offer to my employer to see if they would match. I love my work and those I work with & it would want to give them every advantage. Pollard couldn’t find a single donor to match that offer or did Cael not care enough about ISU to give him...

    Iowa Basketball's Super Bowl

    Believing that Notre Dame is #7 in the nation is an even bigger deal for me. Wow. Are you a rational person? Don’t get me wrong, like USC they are a ranked and storied program, but using a single data source like that to try and puff this up is a touch ridiculous.

    Cool. Tell me more about Cael as well.

    Iowa Basketball's Super Bowl

    Not really the same thing since all kids are leaving at some point within a 5 year period but I will play along. Depends. Did the kid get good advice? Did he graduate? Was he ready? If Ferentz gave a kid advice to go and he does not get drafted, he absolutely should carry some blame. If he...

    Iowa Basketball's Super Bowl

    Barta. Biggest reasons are the current health of IOWA programs (I haven’t even mentioned baseball which is performing very well or field hockey which won the B1G) and the fact that Pollard lost Cael and Fred.

    Iowa Basketball's Super Bowl

    You are not listening. I never said one is better than the other. One is more appropriate based our criteria and the above mentioned results. Congrats on the bowl bid. I get how that could be one of the measures you put in place for success & you seem very happy with the draw.

    Iowa Basketball's Super Bowl

    He fired someone who was reputably failing at her assigned work and was also sleeping with a colleague. Not saying it could not have been handled better, but these are very timely and complex issues and the deck is always stacked in favor of discriminated parties. I think immaturity and a lack...

    Iowa Basketball's Super Bowl

    I would rather win. Pollard likes to troll on twitter and say ridiculous things like how Campbell owns black jerseys and that ISU is the big dog around these parts that make him seem petty and juvenile, especially when you aren’t backing it up. Barta is a great fundraiser, a member of the...

    Iowa Basketball's Super Bowl

    Fair point. If you used that as a judgement criteria, Barta is walking him on a leash. I would exclude that criteria if I was you as well.

    Iowa Basketball's Super Bowl

    We definitely respect your program and atmosphere. Not very impressed with the Prohm and Pollard duo. Prohm is trending down, and if you compare Pollard vs Barta head- to-head in revenue sports recently, Jamie hasn’t been good. I’m totally ok with it being called our Super Bowl. The all-time...

    Iowa Basketball's Super Bowl

    I’m a big fan of the approach and attitude that an in-state kid brought to the game, though I disagree with the use of “Super Bowl”, mostly because it’s not even the correct sport to associate the game with. I prefer “State Title”. It just makes more sense. Since the other D1 schools in the...

    Iowa Basketball's Super Bowl

    I get it. Losing the state’s Super Bowl 46 times doesn’t help the rest of the season or recruiting though. Maybe try harder? That said, you are right. This is the State of Iowa’s Super Bowl. I miss the days of it including my mom’s UNI Panthers and my brother’s Bulldogs.

    Bohannon "Lames" Tweet

    It always sucks when you are on the other side of the smack. Your player always seems to be a “competitor” and the other seems like a “goon”. I am too modest to talk much smack, but I do like that it exists between players. Georges Niang really got under my skin. I like Monte as a Nugs fan...

    But IOWA is a way better team than the Clones this year as well.
