This past Saturday against Iowa State, Darrell Wilson (LB coach) filled in for Norm Parker as D-Coordinator. I'd say he did a hell of a job. I don't know how much Parker was available for preparations, but Wilson called a great game, and I would expect that he will do the same in Tucson this Saturday if Parker cannot. Of course, everyone hopes that NP will be back ASAP.
That's what I've heard around the always-reliable internet. I don't recall any major mistakes from DJK that would warrant this sort of reaction (which, although not necessarily uncommon in practice, is uncharacteristic of Coach Ferentz). However, Hampton's entire game seemed plagued with mental mistakes, and this one was one of the more noticeable (and arguably most serious) of those.
Really? I'm sure you didn't notice the rest of the season. You know, the twelve other games that were played? CreamCrimson references multiple games that Boise State played in which they had trouble. You reference one clear outlier.
My God...that's terrifying.
I agree with you Marc, in that KMM will likely not play this year unless he's truly needed. The WR corps is beyond stacked at the moment (DJK, McNutt, Sandeman, Nordman, Davis, Chaney, Cotton, etc, ie, people who've exhausted their redshirts). I know the staff prefers to play in the moment, but I don't think they'll throw KMM in unless they think he'd be a significant improvement over what's being seen. And if that's the case, by God, Kirk, PLAY HIM!!!
Agreed. The only plausible way Iowa can return to the Rose Bowl is if they suffer one loss, and whomever beat them is not at number one in the Big Ten (ie, not Wisconsin or tOSU), but Iowa is still at number one in the Big Ten. That, or the Hawks play poorly but win all their games and get surpassed by an undefeated Big Twelve team and an undefeated SEC team (or maybe even an undefeated Boise State or TCU).
Sandbaggers in Cedar Rapids (Rapidian here), though, have a pretty good rep.
That said, I think out of all the years I've been watching Iowa football (2002 included), this year feels good. So did last year, but oddly, 2002 didn't.
Wow. Impressive payout for a sport with such small revenue.
Those of us who care how Iowa does in basketball?
No, they don't. They don't have to address the topic at all. DiNardo was pretty clear in that he thinks perception is improving. If he didn't think that, he'd offer a very political, non-inflammatory, bland answer. This clearly doesn't fall into that category.
