    Question: Do college athletes have to be enrolled in classes anymore?

    I think schools have gotten really good at managing players academics by doing things like: Funneling students into manageable majors Keeping course loads light during the main playing seasons Utilizing online courses (that may not have the same rigor as in-person classes) Tracking what...

    Hank or Heck?

    I was rewatching the game a bit last night. With 4:40 left in the first quarter, Heck threw an incomplete pass to Diaz, which put him at 2-7 for the game. And we punted. If I'm being honest, I was probably forming an opinion about Heck's overall ability at that point, as these results pretty...

    F. Ing JUMP!

    You know, there has been a correlation in the past with an Iowa quarterback getting a hair cut and rising to the top of the depth chart. I’m not suggesting causation, but it’s something to think about.

    Hank or Heck?

    LOL. Basically, I’m like Kramer in this episode of Seinfeld:

    Hank or Heck?

    But seriously, I mainly think online polls are stupid, so I like to use my vote to confound the results. Heck looked good last night. Slow start, but he got it rolling. Offense looked good, but the number reason — by far — was that our run game was clicking from the opening snap. (Before Heck...

    Dana Altman

    I think it was when we hired Lickliter, in 2007. Altman's name came up a bunch, but he apparently was never contacted. That's when Altman ended up landing at Arkansas, only to back out of the job a day or so later. But he did give the world one of the cringiest introductory press conferences of...

    Jeremy Hecklinski and Jimmy Sullivan are operating as No. 1 and No. 2 In practice this week

    I believe even Kirk has admitted that he should have played that tOSU game differently.

    Dochterman on Hank Brown: "His ball placement has been rough this year."

    To be clear, Doc said even in the game where he had no incompletions, Hank’s ball placement was not good, but the receivers were able to make adjustments and come up with the catch. I like Doc a lot, but his thinking here aligns with many of the other folks who are banging the drum for...

    Did I miss it? What happened to Tavian Banks? Where is he playing?

    Honestly, I think the most likely answer is that Tavion Banks just didn't want to be in college anymore. But you can't really say that publicly, so we got various PR spins instead. Plus, it's always smart to keep options open, or at least appear to.

    5-star PG Cayden Daughtry talks Iowa, overall recruitment:

    If he’s scheduling visits to Louisville, it would seem the “mom wanting him to stay close to home” angle is not going to be a deciding factor.

    Hanks health

    Yeah, they were pretty much sitting CJ in a chair behind center that game -- Scott Sterling style.

    Hanks health

    If the two QBs have been as even in practice as we have been told, and if Hank is nursing an injury this week, Heck should get the start at Washington. To be clear, I've felt like Hank has been the better QB this season, up until the OSU game. Prior to OSU, I feel like Hank had been playing...

    Time to retire the black pants (at least for the rest of the season)

    I would argue that the "busy" stripe pattern on our jerseys (actually a combination of 5 stripes, alternating black and gold) doesn't match the stripe pattern on our traditional gold pants (a single, wide black stripe). However, we've seen the combination for about 50 years now, so it looks...

    Should the hawks go jumbo OLine and backfield on some plays?

    Makes as much sense as switching quarterbacks.
