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.

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.

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.

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!!!

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).

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.

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.

I think German has some colloquialisms that we're not familiar with; my personal favorite would be "Only Christensen fired a grenade at Jan 40 yards Hilgenfeld." Unless this German variety of football is much more violent than the American kind. Sat, 21 Aug 2010 03:18:18 +0000 http://gazetteonline.com/blogs/the-hlog/2010/08/20/the-dresden-monarchs-have-found-a-quarterback-and-his-name-is-jake-christensen#IDComment94485854 http://gazetteonline.com/blogs/the-hlog/2010/08/20/the-dresden-monarchs-have-found-a-quarterback-and-his-name-is-jake-christensen#IDComment94485564 I can understand the animosity toward neither Drew Tate nor JC6. They played their hearts out for Iowa, and were surpassed by someone better. So what? The only thing I had against either was that it always seemed like Tate's temper belonged in the SEC. Sat, 21 Aug 2010 03:15:20 +0000 http://gazetteonline.com/blogs/the-hlog/2010/08/20/the-dresden-monarchs-have-found-a-quarterback-and-his-name-is-jake-christensen#IDComment94485564 http://gazetteonline.com/blogs/the-hlog/2010/08/20/look-for-ohio-state-or-michigan-to-be-in-iowas-big-ten-division-for-football-next-year#IDComment94428789 Agreed. Mediocre-to-bad Michigan is the exception, not the rule. Whether the next sustained success comes under Rich Rodriguez or someone else, it will come. Fri, 20 Aug 2010 21:04:45 +0000 http://gazetteonline.com/blogs/the-hlog/2010/08/20/look-for-ohio-state-or-michigan-to-be-in-iowas-big-ten-division-for-football-next-year#IDComment94428789 http://gazetteonline.com/blogs/the-hlog/2010/08/20/the-dresden-monarchs-have-found-a-quarterback-and-his-name-is-jake-christensen#IDComment94420989 Good to see JC6 is succeeding somewhere. Just out of curiosity, what are the rules in German football? And do we know the signing details? Again, just curiosity. As an aside, I can't speak German either, so don't look at me for a translation!

Either that or a hamstring tear, depending on what rumors you believed (or, conversely, disbelieved).

Who's that? In all seriousness, I think the team and a lot of the fans are taking the season one game at a time, particularly with the recent issues with personnel. Eastern Illinois first, ladies and gents. The football season is just as arduous a trek for the team as the offseason is for the fans.

That got totally out of hand, and I'd like to apologize for my part in that. In other words, deal. Tue, 17 Aug 2010 03:32:15 +0000 http://gazetteonline.com/blogs/on-iowa/2010/08/15/soaring-out-of-solon#IDComment93579747 http://oldgo.gazlab.com.php5-15.dfw1-1.websitetestlink.com/blogs/on-iowa/2010/07/09/my-no-6-2002-minnesota#IDComment85874266 I distinctly remember a skinny, 5'8" rent-a-cop getting run over by a 6'5" (he was taller than my dad, who is 6'4"), 275-ish Hawkeye fan and promptly getting tackled and arrested. My memory is a little fuzzy, but I think I remember the Iowans around me (who by that point had descended from the upper decks) yelling some unprintable remarks at the officers responsible for the more....enthusiastic...arrests. It was a wild, yet very enjoyable, experience, just to take in the scene from the front row of seats. Also, Marc, I can see this happening again. There're enough drunken Iowans at every game that this remains a distinct possibility (although not at Kinnick, of course).

This was my first Iowa away game, and is definitely my favorite (excluding bowls). The sight of the upright off that goalpost going out the Metrodome door (or, trying to) is one of my favorite in the world. Thank goodness TCF Bank Stadium is open-ended. The designers foresaw our needs. Fri, 9 Jul 2010 22:50:47 +0000 http://oldgo.gazlab.com.php5-15.dfw1-1.websitetestlink.com/blogs/on-iowa/2010/07/09/my-no-6-2002-minnesota#IDComment85873353
