Here’s something to brighten your day. Iowa Football has had only 7 losing seasons in the past 42 years.
Nebraska has had 7 losing seasons in the last 8.
First round Hawks under KF:
Dallas Clark
Robert Gallery
Chad Greenway
Brian Bulaga
Adrian Clayborn
Riley Reiff
Brandon Scherff
Noah Fant
TJ Hockenson
Tristan Wirfs
Tyler Linderbaum
I will not tolerate any Kate Martin slander on my timeline. Yes Caitlin Clark is a generational talent but Iowa doesn’t make back to back title game appearances without Money Martin. She’s a big time winner.
Go back three years and most of the recruiting talk in the state was around DJ Carton and Xavier Foster. Yet it’s Keegan Murray who will be a first round pick in the next NBA Draft. Quite a story.
Major college football program making millions of dollars, a great home atmosphere and fan base. And a head coach who keeps promoting his son as the offense gets continually worse. It’s sad. This falls on you Kirk.
Dude lost two first round picks from last years defense (VanNess & Campbell) not to mention Moss, Merriweather, and Benson and yet here’s Iowa with another top ten defense.
Iowa is 10-2 and doesn’t have to apologize to anyone for winning the B1G West. Iowa is 7-8 under Ferentz vs Michigan and 8 of those were games were close. Are the Wolverines damned good? Yes. Will Iowa’s offense struggle? Yes. There’s nothing to lose. Heaven, no beer. Go Hawks.
You can appreciate the body of work Kirk Ferentz has achieved at the University of Iowa AND also wonder how the hell he was able to hire his son for the OC job, then double down and make him the QB coach. Beth Goetz is just cleaning up another Gary Barta mess. Long overdue.
In a 44 point effort tonight vs. Maple Grove,
@PA_GirlsHoops
Maddyn Greenway (
@maddyngreenway
) surpassed 3,000 career points as just a sophomore.
Pretty cool that the transition three Maddyn hit to pass the milestone, came of a pass from her younger sister Beckett.
@PAcademyATH
Ken O’Keefe looks like Andy Reid compared to Greg Davis and Brian Ferentz. Give me a 65th ranked offense and we are 5-1.
Average Total Offense Rank:
O’Keefe—65th
Davis——92nd
Ferentz—108th
Iowa didn’t deserve to win. Beth Goetz should fire Brian Ferentz tomorrow.
The officials blew multiple calls for both teams as evidenced by THREE QB sneaks where we scored on all three. A complete hose job.
But make no mistake I’m really pissed at our offense.
For all the haters who say Iowa fans didn’t exist before Caitlin Clark & Lisa Bluder. Or Megan Gustafson. Or Kathleen Doyle. Or Sam Logic. Or Toni Foster. Or Michelle Edwards. There was Coach Stringer. And 22,000 fans at Carver in 1985.
Iowa Total Offense rank:
2023: 130th
2022: 129th
2021: 123rd
2020: 88th
2019: 99th
2018: 92nd
2017: 117th
Shame on us for thinking anything would be different. The B1G West is loaded with mediocre teams but this is hard to watch.
Iowa hasn’t won in Lincoln in mens basketball since 2015, losing 4 straight to the Huskers. This needs to end tonight or I’m going to be breaking things.
Kirk Ferentz takes a moment to reflect on Cooper DeJean’s
#Iowa
career tonight on Hawk Talk.
“He’s one of the best players I’ve ever been around at any level.”
I don’t know what is going to happen on Saturday or this season for Iowa Football but I don’t remember Kirk Ferentz being this happy about a team this early in a season.
This is the 8th 20 win season in 12 years for Fran McCaffery at Iowa. Dr Tom had 10 in 14 seasons but he inherited a much better roster. (that he took to a 30-5 record and now I thought about UNLV and I’m sad)
Take a moment to appreciate the rare air this Iowa team is enjoying. Final Four appearances:
Iowa Women: 1993, 2023, 2024
Iowa Men: 1980
Iowa State Men: 1944
Drake Men: 1969
UNI Men: 1964 (D-2)
ISU, Drake, UNI women: Never
South Carolina (36-0) vs Iowa (30-6). To me all the pressure is on the Cocks. No one will expect an Iowa win. I love that they get the chance to play on the biggest stage.
I’ve watched Hawkeye sports for longer than most of you have been alive and I can tell you that this is one of my favorite all-time Iowa teams. Truly a fun team to watch. Go Hawks!
A clip of Sheryl talking about Caitlin Clark went viral. But I see yall tried to bury this one
If ANYBODY else was this loud and wrong with misinformation yall woulda lit this app on fire. But since its about CC yall pretended it didnt happen. Nasty 😂😂
I just read in The Athletic that Iowa Football is a “joyless enterprise”. Uh beating Wisconsin brought me LOTS of joy. Winning brings me joy. Our defense brings me joy. Our punter brings me joy. Beating the Gophers (again) will bring much joy.
The Iowa men have 5 total NCAA Tournament wins in the last 25 years. The women had 5 LAST YEAR! It’s no mystery why Carver is full for their games. I’m grumpy. 😠
