Isn't the definition of a trap game when you overlook someone you feel you're better than and looking towards the next opponent? I doubt Iowa is looking ahead to Rutgers. Now the Illinois game between Michigan and Nebraska is a true trap game.

Week 1 Arkansas Week 2 Cincinnati Week 3 Memphis

6-15 against the 2nd and 3rd team Iowa defense.

Week 1; Arkansas Week 2: Cincinnati

Iowa needs to put King on Lazard and blitz the $hit out of that inexperienced OL. Iowa was very vanilla in basic D yesterday. Confuse Lanning and that OL and the D will be fine.

Week 1: Arkansas

That isn't DirectTV's fault, that is MLB's fault. Hell in Des Moines the MLB Network has blacked out the Yankees/Red Sox or even other games where the 2 teams aren't even close to the Des Moines market.

I think the fans will show up, everyone knows what NDSU has done the last 5 years. Also not sure what you mean by no big TV but the game is on ESPN and not BTN, ESPN2 or ESPNU.

Going from unranked to #4 in the country and if they would have beaten MSU they would have been in the playoffs. Not sure how they were penalized.

And your point? Totally different coaching a team over 4 months compared to 4 days.

You also have to remember it is much easier to turn around a basketball program compared to football. Get 2 NBA talent guys and you are on your way. You won't compete in football with just 2 NFL talent guys. You should be somewhat competitive in basketball by year 3 even without NBA talent...

It's no secret, he is a good not great mid major coach but a horrible power 5 coach. If and when he gets canned at UCLA it will be very difficult for him to get another power 5 job.

It is explained on page 1 of this thread.

Really? I mean seriously, really? How many times have we all yelled "make a damn layup!" "make a free throw"! Missed free throws and missed layups cost them these game, not calling timeouts to "set something up".
