College football continues to be a little crazy this season. Or it may just be the fact that the pollsters do not know how to rank the teams in the pre-season. Ole Miss, Penn St., and Cal all lost this week and all three were in the top 6 in the nation. All three lost [...]

So much for the white out.
The Iowa Hawkeyes proved that they are a football team to be reckoned with in 2009 as Kirk Ferentz led his bunch into Happy Valley and beat Penn St. 21-10 on Saturday night.
It was picture perfect victory for the Hawks, who won the game thanks to a dominating defensive line [...]

Well, it took the Sioux City school system awhile but today they called a press conference and Superindent Dr. Paul Gausman announced that they had accepted the resignation of Keith Hanks as Head Football Coach at North High.
Of course, we knew about this since last week. KSCJ had numerous sources tell us that Hanks had [...]

So much to talk about, I have to do another random thought segment. This might just turn into a weekly thing every Monday.
Iowa looked really good on Saturday. I did not realize that Arizona had such a good offense but the Hawkeyes do have a good defense. The Wildcats did not score an offensive touchdown [...]

With their football coach nowhere to be seen, the North Stars did not miss a beat in a 42-6 thrashing of Hoover at Olsen Stadium on Friday night.
Both teams struggled early in the game, making mistakes, committing turnovers, and fumbling and bumbling their way across the Olsen turf.
However, early in the 2nd quarter, North (1-3) [...]

With the news today that Keith Hanks is on his way out as Head Football Coach for North High, I am wondering what is next for the Stars.
So far, the nicest thing you can say about this year’s team is that they have underachieved. There is a lot of experience on this football squad and yet [...]

The biggest football game this week in the area does not involve a team from Iowa. As a matter of fact, the game won’t be played in the area. It will be played in a tiny town in southwestern Virginia, tucked in the Appalachian Mountains. The town is Blacksburg, VA and the school is Virginia [...]

We just had our first full week of football. That is high school, college and pro in the same weekend. Here’s a few observations:
The favorite to win the MRAC right now is East. The Black Raiders nearly upset Indianola last Thursday, only losing in overtime. I have to give Bob Goodvin a ton of credit [...]

What a day for former Crusaders!
On Saturday, 2 former Heelan football players preformed above expectations in leading their teams to big wins. In Ames, the Brandon Wegher era began as Iowa crushed Iowa St. 35-3. In Cedar Falls, Pat Grace had a day of days, involved in 7 touchdowns in Northern Iowa’s 66-7 win over [...]

The West Wolverines had to overcome a tough Mason City rushing game and some terrible officiating but could do neither on Friday night. The Mohawks scored 23 unanswered points in the second half to beat West 37-13 at Olsen Stadium.
With the game tied at 7-7 in the 2nd quarter, Mason City (3-0) ran their option [...]
