I'd like to see Coach Kill go after a JUCO for some depth at QB. A the present depth chart of a RS So, RS Fr, and Walk-On looks grim this year, but I don't fault Coach Kill being that Phillip Nelson looked like he was going to be an upperclassman fixture for two years during the recruiting...

Alvarez just woke up the lion that is Madison. I've been to Madison in the past, but never on game day. Parties in yards and full bars a mile deep in each direction. The next time Tubby whines about The Barn being too old to recruit to, just point to Camp Randall. Bottom line, it's going to be...

Boondocks. Upper corner.

It is what it is, Iowa City is a fabulous college town. The student section is hostile, the pre-game lots are a sight to see, the Hawkeye Express is really cool, Iowa City is the Green Bay of the Big Ten. I have to admit I suspect that many of the fans never attended a class beyond junior high...

Prices are going down! What is the pre-game like?

I'm seeing steep prices on broker and stubhub sites, I don't see prices rising after today, but wonder if they will sell out before they drop in price. Has anyone purchased tickets in Iowa City on the street? I would be interested in hearing if there are typically ample seats available and if...

I'm in a league and would like an inside on freshman who won't be redshirting and will be looked upon to provide immediate help. Has anyone heard anything on the following players: Greg Garmon RB Iowa Michael Thomas WR OSU Brionte Dunn RB OSU Dami Ayoola RB Illini Aaron Burbridge WR MSU Tevin...

I ordered two seats for the Wisconsin game through the Gophers ticket office and found out my little guy would much rather go to Iowa City. Anyone interested in a swap?

Not a fan of Bobby, was a Paterno rooter in the race, but serves Penn State right if it is the case.

I can see Saban sitting in a booster's plane rubbing his hands together prioritizing his targets.

I remember listening to him on Barreiro during the search process saying the problem wasn't him wanting the job, rather the U of MN not wanting him. Would we be in a better place today with Majerus than we are with Tubby?

This summer is going to be a real test for the program and Tubby. We will find out if we just hit a bump in the road, or if we are going to battle Penn State for last place during the next 5 years. How do Jones and Vaughan turn down Duke and Kansas to stay home considering how things are going...

Barring an unforeseen change in my financial situation, I'm renewing. It defies logic considering people will be getting better seats at a 2 for 1 discount on the street, but I've really enjoyed going following the players growth and TCF in the autumn is really nice. But most of all, I'm...

Maybe we started something. Haha, mainstream picks up the story. 1500ESPN_Reusse Patrick Reusse It looks bad for security guard at TCF Bank, but maybe motivation was to avoid embarrassment of storming field after victory over bad team.

But I did anyway. I'm too old to do that, it is an ordinary Iowa and sets a low bar for excellence and/or reflects a sad program. I've been to every game this year and three last year, even found a dive bar on the East Coast to put the game on for me when Horton took over last year. I was at...
