Hey Marc college football live is doing a What if... series right now (such as what if there was no BCS and what if Rich Rodriguez had gone to Alabama instead of staying at West Virginia) and I was wondering if in your next podcast you could do some Iowa football what if's. I don't have many in mind but what if kirk ferentz had never become Iowa's football coach who was on the list and where are they now.

Hey marc is Demarco Paine not coming back to Iowa?

Also love this class could be the future at linebacker, tight end and a tandem of running backs in Coker and D'Andre Johnson.

Is it just me or does Ballard look like he has the Julius Peppers and Jason Taylor body type to be an NFL DE? Speed isn't the issue with him he ran track in high school and by the looks of the picture in this article he looks more like a running back than a DT no body fat at all.

Marc have you heard anything about Cedric Everson, will he be at Iowa next year?

Also Fiedorowicz will be in the rotation for sure, the upside and potential for him is through the roof. A few years with Doyle and he will be a stud, as long as he gets that all the great tight ends in college and the pros also block and don't just catch passes. If he dedicates himself to blocking and models himself after Reisner and Moeki the next few years for Iowa at tight end will be taken care of.

Good point and I shouldn't say that Iowa doesn't good recruits Bulaga, Richardson and Doering were all pretty highly thought of in high school. But Reisner is a perfect example of the fact that recruting services, for all of their hype can't predict what type of work ethic a kid will have and how they will react to adversity.

Totally agree on the line, that's Iowa's formula for sucess get pressure on the QB with the front 4 so the linebackers can drop and the DB's cover their zone. This defense works great when they have the guys to do it, the frustration comes when the line is inexperienced ala King, Kroul, Mattison and Iwebema their first two years and it is not a coincidence those were the years the Hawks struggled to a poor record.

Then the negativity started with Parker, ie his unwillingness to Blitz.. I used to hate the way Parker forced his players into his system rather than adopting to their strength's but that's why he's an Orange Bowl winning defensive coordinator and needless to say I'm not.

I was curious Mark I have a hard time as an Iowa fan dealing with the fact that 5 star linemen stud's like Sentrel Henderson don't seem to be more interested in Iowa if Ferentz and Morgan and really Dolye can turn guys like Gallery and Yanda into NFL players and take solid prospects like Bulaga and Richardson and get them on the field as freshmen imagine what they could do with a guy like him?

2010 Hawks
Reisner = Best Blocking Tight End in Iowa's history
DJK and McNutt = Potential to be the Best receiving duo in Ferentz's tenure at Iowa
D line = Best D-line since the Roth- Babenieux line

Hey marc what is the possiblity of Wienke getting any action in the game? Is it a situation where even if Vandenberg is 9 for 27 and struggling that he stays in there the entire game or would wienke be given a shot even though he hasn't thrown a pass yet?

There is being a hawkeye fan and being ignorant. I love the running backs but to say that they are better then Johnson, McKnight and Gable is just not having perspective.
