He never fails to represent our beloved Hawkeyes with class. He personifies the Hawkeye values we all hold dear. Way to make us proud Coach Ferentz. One game at a time to the promised land, go Hawks!

As a side note to the whole incident, this was good advertising for the Iowa FB program. One game at a time to the promised land, go Hawks!

I'm so glad to see Paki O'Meara get some positive attention for his contribution to the Hawkeyes' recent success, he's the type of player who is happy to do whatever it takes to unselfishly help the Hawks win. And he seems to be able to ignore the snarky comments on various sites about his RB abilities. He is the kind of ultimate team player which is a hallmark of the Coach Ferentz era. One game at a time to maybe the sweet smell of roses, go Hawks!

I don't know if the Hawks will win easily or not as far a the scoreboard is concerned, but I agree with Coach Ferentz that it figures to be a very tough game. Alll they have to do is win, and it would be way nice if they looked good doing it. One game at a time to the promised land, go Hawks!

On my bucket list is a trip to the Rose Bowl and a WIN. Hey, we can always go to the NC title game next year, right? But first, one game at a time to maybe smell some roses, go Hawks!

On the other hand, there's something comforting about knowing there's a Ferentz ready to make his first start at center. One game at a time to the promised land, go Hawks!

I like your five reasons a lot, but I wouldn't be surprised if a little player named Jewel turns out be a real gem this season. One game at a time, go Hawks!

But I have to admit I like just about any divisions which put Iowa and tOSU in different divisions. Playing the Bucknuts less often and not having to compete with them to make it to the title game would NOT hurt my feelings a bit. One game at a time, Go Hawks!

Can this coaching staff and this group of young men ignore their press clippings and just get better each week? Can this group of Hawks put away more teams before the last quarter? If they can’t put them away early, can they win the close ones like they did (most of the time) last season? I know most everyone wants to have the Hawks get to the NC game, but I would surely "settle" for a WIN in the ROSE BOWL this season and then worry about the national title next season! Stay tuned, it should be another very exciting ride. Go Hawks! P.S. I'm not going to worry about what Playboy thinks of our team, but i AM going to buy the SI Big Ten Preview edition. I just can't wait for this season to begin!

Especially with all three of our top RB's being clasified as sophomores at this time, wouldn't a red-shirt year for Wegher help the cause quite a bit? Of course I'm assuming that ARob and Hampton are able to stay healthy during the season. But, if they did get hurt, you could take Wegher's red-shirt off at that time. What am I missing here?

Certainly not, but I for one think JV will play at least a week better than he did against the Wildcats. It's the O-line, the defense and special teams who have to step up and help the RS freshman win this game. Anything can happen in the 'Shoe and it usually does, so let's leave it all on the field. Go Hawks, be fired up and ready to pull off a stunner!

Say, did you happen to see the photo of the end of the play when Wooten took down Stanzi? It is obvious to me (if not to the refs at the time) that Wooten got ahold of Stanzi's facemask on the way down. How could the refs miss that? I thought it was one of the most one-sided called games I had ever seen even before I saw the photo, now I'm really wondering what was going on with that crew of officials. I know the outcome can't be changed but I wish the Big 10 office could see that photo at least. Go Hawks!

Keep in mind that in a game where there were several very close calls there was not ONE play/call reviewed in the whole mess. What a shameful job by a crew of supposedly big-time officials. I hope this photo gets forwarded to the Big 10 office so at least the supervisor can see more evidence that many Big 10 officials don't have what it takes. Go Hawks!

But I also I agree with those who will be very HAPPY with a Rose Bowl bid and a WIN! We can get into the national title game next year and see how that goes. This year we just need to take care of business and go to the (real) Rose Bowl and WIN. One giant step at a time. Go Hawks, be fired up and ready to roll over the Mildcats!

I'm hoping the Hawks add some "zest" to their offense (where, for example, has the jailbreak screen been this year?) and gets off to a fast start and never let up until the Hoosiers holler "we give". Great defense, zesty offense, and superior special teams=big win. Go Hawks, be fired up and ready to roll this week!
