    Wrestling

    While disappointed in the match, I'm real pumped to see these two teams go head to head in the next few years. I've got all kinds of faith that Cael will make the Cyclones into a hard-nosed, gritty team that will contend for National titles. Having said that, I have tremendous respect for...

    UNI favored by 7.5 - Thoughts?

    I humbly apologize to all kool-aid drinkers. :sorry8bj: Lighten up, Francis.

    UNI favored by 7.5 - Thoughts?

    I think UNI covers without much problem. A lot of casual fans are excited that we're undefeated but let's be honest, the only "name" school we've played is pretty bad and just lost to Marist. UNI went to Washington and played real tough and if not for home-cooking would've won the game...

    Chance that I will have Pollard on the show

    The best part of this was coming on here and reading a couple snot noses whine that Miller was making fun of ISU. Seriously, not everything is supposed to be negative towards us. It was a bit long, but not bad all in all.

    People on the MSU message boards are saying Kelly is their guy...

    Interesting link Wheels. What's troubling is that we are REPORTEDLY after him (although one never knows), yet the link indicates that some didn't think he had enough experience to coach in the Big 10. Uh...but sure, we'll take him. JP better know what he's doing.

    People on the MSU message boards are saying Kelly is their guy...

    From what I've seen, most from MSU are less than thrilled with the prospect of getting Kelly. Amazed they'd fire Crazy John for Kelly. Sounds somewhat familiar.

    Iowa Press Conference at 4:30 PM

    Before we get all lathered up to see Iowa get trounced, I'll cast my mind back to last year's Alamo Bowl. Nebraska-Michigan. I can't stand Nebraska. I don't really care for Michigan, but I root for whoever plays the Huskers. I was very much looking forward to seeing them get pounded by Big...

    Marty & Miller claim for new coach:

    I personally agree that we really do need new blood. But, are you aware of the "Hayden Fry Tree?" Bill Snyder Kirk Ferentz Dan McCarney Bobby Stoops Mike Stoops Barry Alvarez Brett Bielema Don Patterson Jim Leavitt and Jay Norvell Quite a few good ones, with others just starting to cut...

    Hawks Lose to Minnesota

    Six wins gets you a bowl in this day and age. If we had six we'd be going. It's all hunkey dorey to be blasting them for going, but that's the rules. Alamo will take them because they take numbers with them everywhere. They get a months worth of practice which will pay off in spades for...

    Please stay away from the Hawk connection !

    Agreed on finding fresh connections. There's a pool of coaches as big as the ocean. So why go to the neighbor's black and gold farm pond and pluck one out? With that...logging off and heading to JT! Beat the Mizzou Tiggers!

    D-Mac next coach at Stanford?

    I'd be very happy for Mac. Stanford is a reclamation project at this point, but we all know he's good at that. He deserves anything good that comes his way.

    Mail my tickets back??

    Send him an e-mail. I think he already gets the idea. Let him know you will be there against Mizzou, but only for the player's sake. This season has stunk, but remember all of the hard work the seniors put in for 4-5 years. They deserve to see all of us there thanking them.

    McDermott wallpaper

    I had the Will poster up in my office last year. I liked it as it looked pretty classy, but agree that it didn't have any "team" connection. I suspect Mac will be all about team and although we may have some rough times this year, my enthusiasm is actually higher than it was for last years...

    How sad is it....

    Why is that ironic? :oo7dt:

    How sad is it....

    Unless there are rules to the effect of the bowls being forced to take teams in exact order of finish--and I don't think there are--Insight and Champs Sports will NOT take Indiana or Purdue over Iowa. Face it, Iowa travels well and that's what's important (see Outback bowl from last year)...

    I feel bad for the team

    Lots of curious calls in football games today. Aside from numerous ones against the Clones, the one that stuck out was Michigan's first score against MSU--NOT a touchdown but wasn't reviewed because the replay booth said they didn't have enough time to stop play. ESPN put a timer on it--34...

    Why Hawkeye Fans are Irrational Homers

    In all due respect, John Walters isn't exactly unbiased. Every spot for the Cyclones is a bad one and every 4 yard run up the middle elicits excitement comparable to winning the National Championship. But their schedule is weak. Who do they play next week, Dordt? Oh...Ohio State? Uh...

    Tate...

    Yeah I love the Cyclones as much as anyone, but it was clearly our punt returner (who had no punt returns) who was the classless one--he was bird dogging Tate all over. He ran 5-10 yards down the sidelines just to get in Tate's face (approx 2:00 minute mark of 3rd quarter). I don't have to...

    THE BEST BOSS IN THE WORLD!

    Niiiiice! Nothing better than seeing Blythe light up the porous Iowa secondary on your boss's dime. Take a pictue for us so we can see a future Sunday player having a career day against the hackeyes.

    Tate cleared to play.

    It's true that Ferentz said he's been medically cleared to play. It's also true that Ferentz said he was medically cleared to play against Syracuse. They are going to evaluate him in practice today and tomorrow and see how he performs--emphasis on "performs." In his presser and on Cotlar...
