Really nice win. The Hawks played like they wanted it WAY more. This team is 100-percent fun to watch.

Mike, you’re on target with the failure to adapt thing. KF seems extremely slow to adapt. The tone and tempo of college football has changed a lot in the last few years. We see this. Doesn’t he? It seems like KF is talking a lot about personnel and execution lately. Agree that there are issues [...]

Finally. Fun. Stoked to see these things. Totally get the recruiting angle, and it’s just good marketing for the team and the school.

Hard not to be a little disappointed by the season-long performances of a few individual Hawks that seemed to regress from what they’d done last year. But, overall, was a FUN team to watch this year. They played fast, and smart … mostly. There wasn’t any fun during the Lick era. If Marble, Oglesby and [...]

He’s got a solid resume. If he can coach/teach this hire would be a win for the Hawks.

Nice to see Carver back in action like that. You could hear it on the tube.

Awesome win by Fran’s crew. They’ve kind of gelled. Playing so smart, and together.
Nice to see Gatens *finally* blow up in these last two games. Sort of hoped he would have blown up this time last year — and carried it through — but I ain’t complaining.

How big of a problem is turnover in other large football programs? I suspect it’s an issue that exist elsewhere, but possibly for slightly different reasons? Turnover. On one hand, maybe it’s good — you don’t want players that aren’t all-in. On the other hand it’s an inefficient resource drain, particularly for a self-described developmental [...]

Wildly inconsistent from one week to the next. But competitive and fun to watch.
I’ll take that over slow, yawn-inducing Lickball any day.

Not only is this not a big deal, it’s borderline non-newsworthy. When Fran starts boozing at house parties with UI students I’ll start complaining. At this point, I’m a big Fran fan.

I’m on board with “next man in.” That’s football. But there’s something fishy about the ridiculous turnover at RB. You’d hope that KF and/or Barta are at least looking at the “why” behind this? It’s an issue that shouldn’t really be flat-out ignored.

I don’t get too jazzed about new recruits but this dude looks like a real nice prospect. The Hawks need those at RB in particular, eh?
Coincidence that this kid signs right when McCall bolts?

I didn’t take your intro to be heavy handed. Social media has created an expectation of instant information and two-way communication between organizations and the general public. And it’s not going away. Many of the biggest and best companies in the world use social media as a tool to reach out proactively. And to your [...]

There’s some talent on this team. But there seems to be little, if any, sustained group cohesiveness. If they figure this out they could put a string together.

I remember a TD catch that Keenan Davis had two years ago against Iowa State. I thought he made a helluva decisive and sweet move to score. Anyone else remember this or am I making it up?
