    Future non conference opponents question.

    In response to Airhawk I changed my previous two posts from Robinson to Rogers. Senior moment 🙃 Also I had no familiarity with Jimmy Rogers until he took the Iowa State job. I think he will do well there if he plays his cards right. I also found it interesting that he and Kirk had a friendly...

    Future non conference opponents question.

    That really means nothing at the moment. Iowa State had an excellent coach in Campbell in recent years and have a potentially good one now in Rogers. We haven't had the coaching edge in this series for awhile.

    Future non conference opponents question.

    Like it or not I don't think we can count on a win against Iowa State every season based on what I watched Saturday night. Rogers flat outcoached us that first half and his team looked well prepared. He will have to tone things down with the bush league stuff and I suspect that will come. If he...

    Carver Hawkeye Arena renovation to begin in May of 2027 ($44M raised)

    Still in college at the time and I recall that. I went off to the Navy after that and not seeing games in those years had no clue how bad the design turned out. I understand Lute wanted the bowl and then he left us for Arizona shortly after that.

    Does Anyone Think that Rogers...

    I thought Rogers had that team well prepared and from a pure football standpoint he looks like he has potential. But first impressions really matter and he made a bad one this week in the limelight of this game. The officials facilitated some of that trashy play but I don't like seeing that and...

    Carver Hawkeye Arena renovation to begin in May of 2027 ($44M raised)

    Replacing Carver now does seem the right way to go in theory. Probably a combination of factors made that not feasible right now including other construction, NIL, etc. We have a smart AD in Beth and I trust her to make due with a less than ideal situation. Very anxious to see what the project...

    Hank Brown played very well, 70% completion, no INTs. Buhr was great

    A win is a win, BUT…

    I noticed in the game thread another poster commented that the team didn't look very intense coming out on the field in the swarm and I got the same vibe. Body language can tell you alot. I thought the first half played out that way. Iowa State came out aggressive and acted like they wanted it...

    24 team CFP back on table for 2027 season

    If you recall Kirk qualified that by saying "We've let the genie out of the bottle we just as well go to 24". The 24 team proposal came from the Big 10 commissioner when the NCAA first proposed that the SEC and Big 10 sort it out and come to a concensus in January. I would expect Kirk to go...

    24 team CFP back on table for 2027 season

    I don't like the 24 team proposal but I agree with you that 16 seems the right number. No guranteed spots and everyone should have to play the same number of games to win it. I wrote in a previous thread that the NCAA seems hellbent on expansion of the football playoffs. Now we have discussion...

    Hearing bad rumors (band)

    I very much hope this gets the national attention it deserves. Playing in that kind of heat affects the players, the band members and the fans in the stands as accounted by the numerous stories here. While we had an unusual heat wave this summer I think we have to get real about scheduling and...

    Hearing bad rumors (band)

    Absolutely they won't start the season later and want to start it earlier as Indicated in my previous post. TV rules the roost and we're at crunch time when it comes to college football scheduling. It just seems infeasible to me to play college football games in late August with it so hot in...

    Hearing bad rumors (band)

    On a related note I read recently that the NCAA has proposed moving up the start of the football season to late August. This seems concerning to me precisely because of the heat issue. The NCAA seems hellbent on expanding the football playoffs which creates this scheduling issue. We have too...

    So who will be the go-to player this year

    Ben has said McKeever has his best basketball ahead of him. I feel excited to see what this staff can do developing a big center like Drew. From all accounts Jirak has come a long way from his first season and our inside game becomes a whole new ball game. The big men can draw attention away...
