    CFN's Early Schedule-Based Prediction

    Missouri lost a ton of talent but they had a great deal of time to bring in AND develope young talent. They will take a step down this year but still be a very sound team. I think CFN's prediction of ISU is pretty good too. Nothing too over the top or too doom and gloom.

    McCarney wide right...........

    The Iowa City paper The Press Citizen is treating this trial like a murder case. Iowa City is full of rich girls who come from wealthy families (chicago suburbs) who drink way too much and have a hissy fit as they get arrested. Disgruntled Hawk fans are just using whatever route they can to vent...

    how will we do this year?

    I really hope for the best for ISU. I do have problems claiming a MAJOR improvement from last year for one reason. We all know that our defense struggled last year. A big step up would make them good, but not great. IMHO there is just too big of a gap in our play to take enough pressure off our...

    some missing players???

    That really sucks about Sandvig. I had high hopes for him to be a real contributor to the program. We talk of recruiting local talent that has a real emotional stake in ISU and its success. Alex was one of those guys I believed. Thought that he was going to carry that torch. I wish him the best...

    Is Iowa posed for a set back in 2009?

    I was sitting right in front of that play when Greene went down. It was a good helmet/helmet hit but the play before that is where he was hurt. They should have pulled him to check him out but it never happened.

    Is Iowa posed for a set back in 2009?

    Gitwitit I agree that the info I gave was not pin point accuracy. I never said who they were losing exactly. They are losing 8 lineman that played in all 13 games though along with two TE that played every game as well. Their names may not have been as recognizable as King but backups play a...

    Is Iowa posed for a set back in 2009?

    I understand that this is cyclone fanatic but the getting to a bowl game this year is going to be very hard once again. That means this game is even more important. I think discussing this teams pro/cons is relevant to this site. Much like any other team we play this year.

    Is Iowa posed for a set back in 2009?

    After taking a look at the graduating Seniors, the loss of Shawn Greene, players leaving and strength of schedule it seems as if it will be an uphill climb this year for the Hawkeyes. Both their offensive & defensive lines take a major hit this year with many starters/players graduating. Also...

    Does anyone know what meyer/blythe are doing now?

    They played their heart out and went through a coaching change in the middle. Meanwhile fans like you were sooooo quick to point out the cons instead of the pros. They may have peaked stat wise in their sophmore seasons but I feel they gave 100% to the program every year and tried to leave the...

    Does anyone know what meyer/blythe are doing now?

    Either way I hope both are doing fine. They gave me so many great memories that I will never forget them.

    Florida State... Penalized?

    The NCAA will never attack a major school again like it has in the past. Financial powerhouse teams and the NCAA are co-dependent on each other. Grave sanctions were once applied by them to SMU in the early 80's. The irrepairable damage done shocked/scared even them! This is a truely bad case in...

    Comparing Coaching Staffs 2008 to 2009 (VERY LONG)

    This may be a silly question but were Bolt or Mcfarland retained at all? I thought a few players really wanted them around still. Someone please fill me in

I have it in both knees clonedude. The bad news is that it will probaly always be there from now on. The good news...

    RUINED COLLEGIATE CAREERS (Chizzed!)

    Hindsight is 20/20. When Bass was suspended, many were all for it because it showed discipline. Now were saying he was screwed. Move on and cheer for the Crimson if you need to vent anger. The only thing I learned from this is that is a true fact, CHEEZIT truely never cared about this school or...

    ISU holding football tryouts?

    You never know who is out there. When I was at ISU around 2003 my buddy transfered to Ames from Ohio University. The Bobcats cut their track program and a few ended up playing for us. One guy was an ABSOLUTE monster. The football coaches talked to him daily to play, but the Shotput coach...

    Anyone have a 2001 football schedule magnet?

    No dice man, I actually went and checked out my old dorm fridge. it has a 2002 & 2003. Was kind of cool to look at though. Kind of a time capsule of items taped onto it. Even had an advertisment promoting the opening of the latest, hottest bar Mickeys. I laughed pretty good at that.
