it’s to bad those 2 bye-weeks don’t come in November. We’re TERRIBLE in November as of late.

well perhaps since the football team couldn’t make a bowl game (don’t look for that to change soon), maybe hawk fans can follow the ball team to MSG and show the big apple how we travel!

100% agree scott. Purdue was awful. The big ten (as always) showed up on bowl day (not!)! more evidence universities need to man up and DENY bowl invites when they finish 6-6. I am sure that Louisiana Tech looked at Iowa State, Purdue and any other embarrassment and thought, “gee. where did we go for [...]

with all the talk about fiscal cliffs, pay raises for congress, etc, i think it is time we start the new year off with what REALLY matters…the fact there are too many bowl games. I watched the game. i cringed. Raise your hand if you believe we have TOO MANY bowl games? Keep your hands [...]

why? do they need more money in their endowments that they don’t use to keep the cost of tuition down, or use to build new buildings without sticking their hand in the taxpayer pockets?, or use to stop the practice of raising ‘use fees’ on everyone, even for students that don’t make use of those [...]

I’m waiting for some other words to be mentioned at the presser’s: “overpaid. over rated. tired. retirement. ‘moving on to the NFL’”

as is said by many CUBS fans… “well. there is always next year”

Careful Joel. you may get attacked by the lemmings that will circle the wagons around Kirk, and you are EXACTLY RIGHT. Try to hold the coach to a higher standard, expect National Championships, Rose Bowls, and League titles – and you will start hearing all the excuses: “we are rebuilding…we had coaching changes….we can’t get [...]

although i think UNI could compete in D1, the B10 will not be a home for them or ISU. 3 conference teams in one state? and that state being Iowa? won’t happen.

if i would have been the ACC – i would have told ND “not joining for football? then you can’t be part of the conference bowl lineup or affiliation. that is for CONFERENCE members. now go away and pout”

seriously? the wings on the shoulder uniform was ‘fugly’ to say it nicely. I kind of liked the throw back uniforms we had against Iowa State. Although i am not ready to ditch the black and gold, i do think it is time for a snazzy upgrade.

OK. i somewhat anticipated the spanking on the ND comment. point well-taken. I’m not one of those guys wearing an ND jacket reliving the Lou Holtz days. perhaps the part i should have worded differently was ‘kill us most years’ and change it to ‘kill us this year’. I think Kelly is going to do [...]

ND would KILL Iowa most years. We should consider ourselves lucky. i will agree ND is going to water down their schedule. ND would rather be in a conference they can dominate each year, than join a B10 conference where best they will be is 3rd fiddle. they want all the perks and protections of [...]

I’m not sure he meant it in satire. nepotism should not be allowed. make no mistake: KF’s son reports to the AD in job description only. KF calls the shots and sonny responds to him, not the AD. Would i expect Iowa to be at the top at all times, year after year? of course [...]

this game was terrible on both sides of the ball. I won’t dump on JVB. i saw a LOT of dropped passes – an’t fault him for that. after ISU waltzed down the field for a TD on the opening drive – i thought it was going to be a long day in IC. I [...]

Remember hawk fans….KF is worth every cent! We don’t want to return to the pre-fry Nagel years…. When are the lemmings going to realize – this is not the coach that is going to bring a NC to Iowa, Rose Bowl victories to Iowa, etc. Every other coach in the top ten of paychecks has [...]

BEER for the common folk? you mean for the PEASANTS? the ones that make up the vast majority of those in attendance, the ones who can’t afford to drop dozen of benjamins to sit with the other snobs in snootyville in corporate sponsor land? you mean you think the university should allow THEM to enjoy [...]

i WOULD like to see the ‘no smoking’ rules extended to casinos (to include tama, and yes, there is a legal way to make it happen in the ‘soverein nation’ casinos’).. maybe their business would increase like all the bars and eateries that predicted doom and gloom? i avoid casinos everywhere like the plague because [...]

won’t happen. only chance it would have would be IF it were located in a place it is easy to get to – and if the council had their way, everything would be downtown amongst a sea of parking meters

This passenger obviously graduated the top of their class! Gee, sure wish i could have missed MY connecting flight because of that clown…would have to make sure they had their ‘day in court’.
