It's time, boyz. Big Ten Media Days start today in Las Vegas. 5 1/2 weeks until the first game at Kinnick. It's Phil Parker revenge year and the start of another Epenesa legacy. Get on the train now!!!!!

I’m more excited about this year than I’ve been in a good long while.

I bet he tries to coach here 30 years.

My only worry is the LBs. Harrell/Montgomery ain’t the ticket in the middle. Should be solid everywhere else.

I’m ready for football

No idea if this team is good though. I don’t even try to keep up with rosters anymore with the transfer portal

I have no idea what to expect from them either. The good thing is in years with their most difficult schedules, Iowa tends to over-perform.

Jesus. I'm in the middle somewhere right now. I had high hopes for last year, and it kicked me right in the heart. Once bitten and all that shit.

Sounds like they have not done their homework
Much tougher schedule this year. But I do kind of like those odds. A couple weeks ago it was set at 6.5 for something like -160 and I didn't like that quite as much.

That and cornerback. Those two guys have been kinda painful to watch.

I'm usually pretty optimistic at this point in the season. This year is no different. Phil seems to find guys to step up. So I hope that's the case this year and that he has a bit of a chip from last season. Lester's podcasts seem to have a lot of optimism about what they're doing. So I'm hoping we see some pleasant progress on that side of the ball. Special teams are generally pretty solid. No doubt there's going to be some high dollar talent on the teams we face, but as mentioned, we usually step up to the challenge.

Hopefully this is the season X lives up to his potential.
The hope is that moving to the position he probably should have been playing all along will help. If not, Lutmer will take his job by Big Ten play.

One thing good (and sometimes bad) about being an Iowa football fan: we get to watch a lot of close games.

The staff has had years to coach the SEP out of him in the hope that he’ll begin to willingly seek contact. Let’s hope those efforts take hold this year.
Lol while I appreciate the sustained SEP digs, the school has won four state championships in a row. That's pretty good.
