  • Delbert Long commented on the blog post Iowa falters late yet again, loses at Minnesota   3 months, 2 weeks ago · View

    Something is definitely wrong with Devyn Marble. He has a physical and/or mental problem. He has not been the same player since the January 6th Michigan game. Oglesby has been very inconsistent with his shooting, and he seems to be off balance (fall backwards) with his jump shot. McCaffrey says he can shoot and make [...]

  • Delbert Long commented on the blog post Ferentz wants to cut Iowa’s deficit . . . in football   5 months, 3 weeks ago · View

    Just a few predictions from a long time Iowa athletics supporter (40 + years attending games and contributing money to the University and athletic department.): 1. No offensive and defensive coordinator changes for 2013. Kirk Ferentz has gone on record as 100% supportive of his coaches. Gary Barta has gone on record as 100% supportive [...]

  • Delbert Long commented on the blog post Turn in the gear   5 months, 4 weeks ago · View

    The Iowa football team has hit rock bottom this year. I feel very bad for the players who have invested a tremendous number of hours building up their bodies, practicing to develop their skills, etc. with little or nothing to show for it. I am a long time (40 plus years) Iowa supporter attending almost [...]

  • Delbert Long commented on the blog post Battle for ’12 lost, build for ’13 begins   6 months ago · View

    As a long time (40+ year) Hawkeye football supporter and financial contributor to the University and athletic department . I have never seen such a dysfunctional team (coaching staff and players). And I have witnessed some very bad times and down years in between some good years. Poor coaching, lack of talent, lack of improvement [...]

    The Iowa Hawkeye football team crashed this year. They are now in a “search and recovery mode” … trying to determine what players from this year and what 2013 verbal recruits will be with the team next year. This is a very sad time for Iowa football.

  • Delbert Long commented on the blog post Purdue 27, Iowa 24: Lunar moons and ‘dog crap’   6 months, 1 week ago · View

    I really feel sorry for the players who have put in a tremendous number of hours to build up their body, practice to develop their skills, knowledge, etc. and lay it on the line every saturday during the season with little or nothing to show for it. The players effort was obviously lacking once again, [...]

  • Delbert Long commented on the blog post ‘Bigger picture, full body of work’   6 months, 2 weeks ago · View

    Talking about Kirk Ferentz and his high salary and long term contract are academic at this point. So why complain about this at this point? What is done … is done! If the program does not turn around and at least show some improvement next year, then the University President has more than enough reasons [...]

  • Delbert Long commented on the blog post Hlas column: No bullying for the Hawkeyes, just a haze   6 months, 3 weeks ago · View

    Once again, I feel sorry for the players who have invested a tremendous number of hours individually and collectively to build up their bodies, rehab injuries, and participate in practices to develop their skills, technique, etc. The players, team and coaches performance has taken a sharp tailspin downward over the last few years and seems [...]

  • Delbert Long commented on the blog post Five more games to make something out of this   7 months ago · View

    I really feel sorry for the football players who work hard and put in a tremendous number of hours to build up their bodies and practice so that they can be successful as individuals and as a team. I was at the game, and I watched as thousands of “fans” left the stadium by the [...]

  • I echo and agree with most of the comments made by Mike Hlas and others who commented in response to Mike’s article. The Penn State and Iowa football game was “men” (Penn State players and coaches) versus “boys” (Iowa players and coaches). I am a long time Iowa fan and financial supporter. Here are my [...]

  • Delbert Long commented on the blog post Iowa’s 2014 football schedule may be its weirdest ever   12 months ago · View

    This whole scheduling issue is a bunch of crap. The Big Ten Commissioner should have shoen some leadership and authority and political backbone and NOT involved the Big Ten University Presidents and Athletic Directors in initial dedision as to how to establish the tow Big Ten Divisions and scheduling for football. This crap about protecting [...]

  • Delbert Long commented on the blog post Georgia prep Kyle Meyer picks Iowa   2 years, 2 months ago · View

    Meyer appears to be another “project” like Brommer and Archie. He barely made the top 150 player rating, tall and lean, not recruited by teams in the major conferences (except Clemson, and they are not seen as a championship caliber team). Iowa can not afford any more projects if their goal is to climb up [...]
