    REPORT: Barta working on final retirement contract for Ferentz

    That would be conference play for the teams listed. What hurts Iowa more is that ISU is an option. Only hurts when they are winning.

    REPORT: Barta working on final retirement contract for Ferentz

    Effects Iowa if they have a good season. Iowa State game hurts their national perception and may hold them back from a playoff if the chance arises again. It's in both programs interest that each at least makes a bowl game.

    REPORT: Barta working on final retirement contract for Ferentz

    Some Iowa fans after hearing the news, pessimistic bunch.

    REPORT: Barta working on final retirement contract for Ferentz

    Not trying to start anything, just my humble opinion. Looking at Iowa's Big Ten schedule, I don't see any game that Iowa State is favored in except for Purdue. Maybe a -3 versus Maryland also.

    REPORT: Barta working on final retirement contract for Ferentz

    Has Iowa State ever built upon the success of a winning record versus Kirk Ferentz?? Yes, great to beat an in-state rival but it has done nothing for the ISU football program except for a few fans being able to brag. Regardless of losing to ISU, Iowa has had at least some form of success over...

    Seemingly never ending Iowa MBB thread (still going.....)

    Re: Iowa MBB now a projected #1 seed Bringing up an exhibition loss is pretty pathetic. Sure a loss is to but there was absolutely nothing on the line, Iowa probably took the day off mentally or partied too hard. Whatever caused the loss, looks like it was squashed. If anything, the...

    Why Computers Don't Like Iowa (Or UNC or Wazzu) - Link

    Isn't that how Iowa wins always? Every good year they had close games against inferior opponents. Not a sign of a overrated or lucky team; its a sign of good solid fundamentals, confident coaching, good line play, with 2-3 start recruits, with no NFL big play speed at the skill positions or...

    Hoks @ Indiana

    Worse case #8, likely #7 after this week of fun. Iowa will be in the the CFP if they win out, likely beating at Top 10 team in the conference champ game. Wisconsin and Northwestern will win out also.

    Still no respect

    Geez.... we better all enjoy our seasons because after it's done, no one else will remember. People have short memories, most across the nation couldn't tell you if ISU or Iowa made the NCAA last year.

    New Big Ten power rankings at HokNation

    Don't really follow Miller that closely. He's an idoit. His opinion lazy and the posters who follow him are lazy. Miller does not reflect the majority of the Hawkeye fanbase. Every fanbase has their sectors, like in politics. Wide range of fans. Miller is like the Fox News of Iowa Sports...

    New Big Ten power rankings at HokNation

    There are two things I find funny on these sites... 1. There are only a handful of posters who go to other teams sites. They go over, pick up the most ridiculaious thread that no one on that site agrees with, and posts it as a common thought for the entire fanbase. 2. There are actually...

    #23 Iowa vs. Xavier

    How good is Xavier suppose to be? Just wondering. I personally don't get how anyone can judge a team based off one performance. Seemed to me that Iowa wasn't playing well at all but found a way to win (or found a way to not lose, either way). If I can pull anything from this season so far is...

    Looking like Iowa will make a bowl game

    Gloating about the Big 12 when ISU contributes nothing to it's success. Wait a sec, they do! ISU gives the other conference members an easy W! Great job ISU for being a conference first football program! That's the spirit.

    Not as exciting as 7-71.

    Wisconsin only beat UNI 26-21 last year fwiw!

    Didn't Wisconsin go 4-4 last year? They weren't very good in a weak confererence with OSU and PSU not eligible. ISU was only one win away from having the same record.

    It's the NIT.......

    Iowa just loss and it didn't change a thing. Just like ISU's season, didn't change a thing.
