Capital of Finland. It was a joke. :) It's kind of funny how butchered Hecklinski and Gronowski have been all season.

Helsinki?

As an Iowa fan I wouldn't have been that upset if they had called that targeting. It was very close and could've been called either way. But if you listen to the Nebraska fans, it's almost like that is the sole reason they lost the game. Completely took away their momentum, etc. etc. If they...

If Penn State beats Rutgers today, and they are favored by 14.5 points, they will be 6-6. Probably an attractive team for a lot of minor bowls.

Not disagreeing at all but, if he were the choice, would Beth still be waiting on an answer? He seems like the kind of guy who would say yes in about 3 seconds.

Let's see, Outland Trophy finalist? Check. Joe Moore Award candidate? Check. What is this guy even talking about!

Yep.

It's 6.5 on ESPN Bet, started at 5.5. I was surprised. I thought it would be a 2-3 point spread either way. Not sure if I have enough faith in our offense to bet Iowa. I would be ecstatic with an outright win. But I think the lines are an indication that the betting world sees our defense...

Maybe it's tough for you but to me, the B1G would still be easier. I still don't buy the Big 12 getting two teams in, at least on a regular basis. I do think Iowa has a better chance of finishing four in the B1G. And as time goes on, the money disparity becomes accumulatively less...

The Big 12 is always going to have just one team to qualify. Competing with Texas Tech and their billionaire donor would be a huge uphill climb. And they'd still have to beat out Utah and the Arizona schools. Iowa isn't winning the B1G but we could climb into a playoff spot.

I agree with all the reasons above and add one: Maybe he has realized that he has taken the Clowns as far as he ever will. And he'd like to see what would happen at a bigger place where there is more opportunity for a higher ceiling. Of course we're all just spit-balling. He seems to be...

I've been thinking that maybe Campbell is the secret candidate. Would have said no way a year or two ago but now? Nothing seems impossible. And I'd be down with that choice.

I read this too. Good article. It sounded as if at least two of those returns, the punter failed to do what he was asked to do. The Special Teams coach maybe needed to work on those scenarios in the week leading up to the game. Or, maybe they did and the punter just didn't get the job done.

I could see this being the reality of his situation. He is, at heart, a teacher. From my viewpoint, which is not close at all to anything, he really enjoys working with the kids and it is rewarding for him. It gives him purpose. Does he hate losing? Yes. Do the losses bother him? Very...

I would love to hear it. Your Nebraska disdain is one of the best things about this board. Growing up in western Iowa I feel it!
