Iowa Beat Writers

[cycloner29]

I consider WHO-TV sports guys as Iowa beat writers since they spend most of their time talking about Iowa and Caitlyn Clark.

Tonight Andy Fales was over on the Dowling sideline for the Centennial Dowling game and was talking about how the coaches were barking to the players. I for one can vouch for him. Pretty sure Dowling assistants are well versed in using all forms of the word Jesus.

Was a chain gang member for a game against them once. They are pretty vulgar to say the least!!

Yep…. and not one single good home game this year either. I have no idea how they conned so many people into buying season tickets this season?

10-1 baby!

 

[NWICY]

Stanley was quite the nimble mountain goat as well.

This statement didn't get enough love.

 

[CyDude16]

Bingo! Cade will still have the last word here folks.

Iowa is 3-1, and don’t have a single tough game on their schedule outside of maybe Wisky, who is down this year however.

Iowa will likely win 10 games, 9 at worst. I don’t understand why everyone is freaking out? KF and Cade will still have the last laugh….. even though Iowa isn’t very good at all.

Iowa will lose to Wisconsin and Nebraska.

First his guy Cade goes down, and now gets Freezing Cold Take’d. Rough weekend for Dave.

I dunno what Iowa did to get so lucky, but I've NEVER seen teams just give games away like they do to Iowa.

KCCI can't stop drooling about it...calling the punt return "magical" puke.

Okay what’s the story here? I looked at the Iowa roster to see if this old teammate of my sons has played any and while scrolling through I saw the Twedt kid who flipped from us. I just went into the bio to see if he had played, it only lists his dad, no mom. Did his mom pass away or something like that?

LMAO the blown punt return where there was nobody within 25 yards of Cooper. As soon as he caught I said "that's six, he's gone".

 

[Ron Falenschek]

Yeah, the kid is a great player, but I'm pretty sure most capable punt returners would've housed that one.

Iowas opponents are just really bad in all aspects of the game. The MAC would absolutely wreck the Big10 West this year. Sprinkle in MSU and Rutgers and you have an embarrassment of a power 5 schedule.

Ferentz has been the head coach at Iowa for 24 years now and he's under contract through 2029. He can't be forced to do anything, and he will quit before he "modernizes" his offense.

I can't wait for USC to the Hawks next year. Iowa fans will crap when they see a Lincoln Riley offense on the same field as Kirk's.

I can't wait for USC to play in Kinnick next year. Iowa fans will crap when they see a Lincoln Riley offense on the same field as Kirk's.

Or Oregon...

That's exactly how Iowa is built. They don't make mistakes and then when you inevitably do, they beat you with it.

It's not a coincidence that it seems to happen all the time.

Theory -- he hates the Chiefs because they wear Cyclone colors. And he hates the Jets because there are "too many" Cyclones on the team. (And Allen and Breece had a nice game.)

It's not magic nor luck, Ferentz has done this for two decades. His teams are coached to follow their gameplan and wait for their opponent to make a mistake. It happens, a lot (these are in fact college kids). Iowa's players are put in this position repeatedly and don't panic. It's coaching and discipline. Campbell's teams fall into this trap every single time they play Iowa.

I mean I get it but having the privilege. of playing complete garbage offenses kind of overstates how well their plan really works. The last big win Iowa has had was Penn State back in 2021 and they lose that game if Clifford doesn't get hurt.

It's beyond this. Iowa also made a lot of mistakes too.

I wonder if he will leave after this year and move on to the NFL. He is currently a junior, nothing really to prove and why take another year of pounding when he could get paid for it.

 

[BCClone]

Especially when the refs let a block in the back go. I think the refs were wanting him to return it so they could leave that miserable game.

 

[CydeofFries]

I thought this was kind of shocking. A recently fired B1G coach on the Iowa sideline feels notable for a ton of different reasons.
