    Jack Trice throw backs

    I got mine on Sunday, I think. You might try contacting the athletic department just to check.

    LB recruit

    I thought that was his recruiting year. Took me a minute.

    Scheduling FCS Schools

    That would be nice on multiple fronts. We wouldn't have to play every team every year, giving us some breathing room to build as a program. And bonus points on Minnesota. I know all about Jack Trice, but that's just fuel for a rivalry. They're closer to us than any team in our conference, and it...

    Should CPR be on the hot seat?

    Game. One bad game. These fools are so down thinking we won't win another game this year they've already written off the season. I see at least 5 possible games, if not more, that we can win. For god's sake. Give CPR a chance to adjust and rally the team after the opening season game before you...

    Should CPR be on the hot seat?

    I can't believe this is a question. One loss and people lose their freaking minds. Look, he got us bowl elligble in 3/4 years... the only other coach to do that was coach Mac. He won a bowl game for us. One of only 3 in program history. He has a winning record against the Hawks. He did all...

    Kudos to those Iowa/ISU ticket holders who sold on the high!

    I really, honestly doubt that casual fans flood the market, bringing the prices down. It's Iowa/Iowa State. It's THE GAME in the state for the year. Doesn't matter how good or bad one team or the other is, it's still going to be packed.

    Sportsmanship

    I absolutely support my University to the end. I support Rhoads. I do not support Messingham. It's nothing personal--I have never found his offense to be effective. I have never liked the zone read. I don't think bubble screens are effective, and I would greatly like to try to throw the ball...

    Girl arrested with a .341 BAC in Iowa City yesterday

    That's impressive actually. Though, if I had to watch the Hawks I would drink that much beforehand too.

    Paul Rhoads and Recruiting

    That doesn't change the fact in the least that our QB does NOT need to carry the ball 21 (or even 17, if the sacks do count) times in a game. We have 5 running backs who can be productive. Why we would call even one play that has the QB running I don't know. Mobile QB's are great, but their job...

    Paul Rhoads and Recruiting

    You mean those supposedly great running backs who all averaged 4.4 yards/carry or more, but each got at least 13 less carries than our quarterback, who averaged like 3.7/carry? Huh. I am thinking that if we took those 21 carries and gave them to those running backs, it would have been a...

    CyHawk Predictions

    Could be a bit of a shootout--who am I kidding. Our offense couldn't win a shootout with a wet paper bag. If and only if our defense comes to play, we'll have a shot. I liked Richardson against UNI, hopefully CPR puts him on a run count (can't run the ball more than 10 times, or something like...

    Problem offense or defense

    I agree that the defense looked bad, but we knew they were young. Knott played well, the rest just seemed to not know what to do or where to go. Particularly disappointed in George, Miller, and Sam B. Richardson. But our offense has to be better than that. We have a stable of great running...

    Is there a reason NOT to fire

    To be honest? There's not really one. The only reason I can see, and it's probably the one that Coach Rhoads is using to justify is this: Firing a coordinator midseason and installing a new one will absolutely make the offense more inept. You can't learn an entire new system in a week. Say we...

    ***OFFICIAL FIRE MESSINGHAM THREAD***

    Honestly, losing Farinok's leadership shouldn't have been an issue. We have 5 linemen. They only brought 4 rushers the majority of the time. Should have stopped them regardless.

    ***OFFICIAL FIRE MESSINGHAM THREAD***

    I hadn't heard that about Herman. I was always disappointed in our offense under him. I guess it would make sense... or at the very least, it could be that he's comfortable with this type of offense and doesn't want to change it. Who knows. But something has to give. We can't have games like...

    ***Official UNI Meltdown Thread***

    I just don't get how our offense can be that bad after 5 years. We've had the chance to recruit the players for our "system", and it hasn't worked. It's so pitiful. It seems like every offensive series goes zone read, zone read, throw short of the sticks, punt. I mean, we've got great...

    Who got injured? I didn't see most of the first half.

    ***Official UNI Meltdown Thread***

    That doesn't mean he's not a good coach. He coaches the team up for big games, he's got a history of that. Our defense (behind him and Burnham) have been good every year, and I think we'll still get better this year. Being fooled into thinking that a coordinator has a system that will...

    ***Official UNI Meltdown Thread***

    Yeah, Rhoads is still a great coach IMO and I'm happy to have him. We just need to clean house as far as our offensive coaching staff goes. It has been garbage since he got here.

    This is what we get. This is what we get for linking to the K-State and Iowa meltdown threads.
