    Former Players v. Football Program *** Thread

    I get the sentiment, but just bring more unwanted publicity on both the university and the individuals. Although if I were one of the individuals in the case who had to have this hanging over my head for years, I would be very upset.

    Where were Dix’s minutes?

    When you play Rutgers, especially at Rutgers, you are going to turn it over. Rutgers is 8th best in the country at forcing turnovers on defense with a TO rate of 25%. Iowa had a TO rate of 22% in the game. Not great (Iowa overall is at 14.3% for the year, 6th in the country), but not bad enough...

    Looking at tranfer portal ratings

    Yeah this whole portal thing is just like recruiting. Have to let the process play out. Tesla's chances of coming to Iowa are lower not because it is going on longer, but because the more time goes on the more offers he gets. Iowa has put its best foot forward with all the guys pursuing in the...

    Where were Dix’s minutes?

    Correct. Iowa had to put it all out there this week. Credit to the team. They got themselves back in the conversation for being in the tournament. Everyone wishes there were good options for spelling Rebraca and Murray. Rebraca is probably more efficient playing 32-34 minutes a game, no doubt...

    What a great job of coaching by Fran!!!!!

    Went back and watched the entire scenario with Fran and the assistant in the second half. It appears that the ref gives a T to first the IU assistant and then to Fran. Then he gathered with the other refs and waived both off. Much to Iowa's benefit as it would have been Fran's second. I...

    What a great job of coaching by Fran!!!!!

    Yeah Perry appreciate I can always disagree with you and it's civil and in good faith. We both want the same thing, for Iowa to be as good as possible. I'm sure I'd enjoy watching a game at CHA or at the local watering hole with you.

    Problems for the Fleckster?

    Yeah he's moved a lot so looks like he very much is used to going to good situations. Gophers lose the RB, QB and the WR Aultman-Bell. So perhaps he thought it was a good time to move on. Or maybe he knows Schiano or others on that staff, don't follow Rutgers FB close enough to know.

    What a great job of coaching by Fran!!!!!

    On individual game coaching basis, I didn't think it was one of Fran's better games. But that is really beside the point. His team fought and battled even after they could have quit down by 21. And showing fight and sticking with it is usually more important than individual game decisions. The...

    Woodson has choice words about Fran incident with bench

    yes multiple things can be true at the same time. Fran going over nearly to the Indiana coaches box last night was not a good move. If he gets a T at that point it is so costly. I get why he was upset, in that the Indiana assistant getting the ear of the ref. But man, it was not worth the risk...

    Fran's recruiting is toast

    The season is not over yet. Iowa pulls off a win at Rutgers and they are firmly back in the tournament. Last season was looking pretty iffy until the late season run. Not saying that the same will happen this year, but always wise to let the season play out.

    Texas's Chris Beard arrested on Felony Assault

    My guess is he sues to get some of that back, and he just might get some of it. Depends on the outcome on the criminal side. It appears as if his fiance does not want to testify. But Texas is doing what it needed to do to protect itself here.

    Fran's recruiting is toast

    Yes some of these comments are interesting. Of course we all wish recruiting was better and Fran got his first choice recruits all the time. Whatever Otz is doing at ISU is working. But to say that the guys coming in aren't of Big 10 quality seems weird. As you pointed out, Freeman, Koch and...

    Woodson has choice words about Fran incident with bench

    I'm a big Fran fan, but no he can't just go over to the opposing team coaching box if he wants to. I thought the refs showed restraint in that whole situation last night, not giving a T to the Indiana assistant or to Fran. I don't know if it's a hard and fast rule, but generally assistant...

    bowl tv ratings?

    You are fun at parties. Neither team was bad. Iowa was 21 in Sagarin ratings, Kentucky 35. Far worse matchups in bowl season. Both teams had key players opting out/injured. Kentucky's opt outs probably impacted the game more as they were more reliant on Levis and his ability to make plays...

    Joe Evans will return for 6th year.

    You aren't making unrealistic points. They are things that coaches have to discuss as they manage the roster. I get why players get a COVID year, but my preference would have been the only time a COVID year was granted was for 2021 if a player was a senior in 2020. College game is meant for guys...

    Deacon Hill

    I mean I would think so. Iowa isn't going to bring Rouse in on a visit and offer him if there are not scholarships.

    Deacon Hill

    I don't think there's anything wrong with him. Going into spring, Iowa has 2 QB's who can actually play in the spring (Labas and now Hill). McNamara might or might not be ready for spring recovering from the knee. There is a clear shot at winning the #2 job this spring and fall between Labas...

    Overhaul

    I get it. I do. But as we have seen, things can change quickly. Including within a season. I just think it's useless energy to expend on calling for Fran's job. Not going to happen, nor should it happen. Dude made NCAA tournament 4 years in a row, which hasn't happened in 30 years. He's not...

    Overhaul

    Serious question for folks. The team this year is definitely heading in the wrong direction. But Fran has had 4 straight good seasons (NCAA tournament caliber teams). The 2020 COVID year Iowa was in the NCAA tournament when things got shut down. Iowa hasn't made the NCAA tournament 4 straight...

    Lukas Van Ness a Likely FIRST ROUND PICK. Should he stay or should he go? On Jan 3, announces he's heading to the NFL

    22 as a rookie isn't considered young either. I do hope Van Ness comes back, just really all about what he wants for his career and personal goals. There is no bad option for him. First or second round pick in the NFL draft is life-changing money. Returning to Iowa and further develop as a...
