    Iowa's Surprising Depth.

    I was thinking about Iowa's depth, in particular in the QB, RB & WR rooms. I would have to say this is the deepest Iowa has been at these three positions for some time. To state the obvious, this is such a good thing and advantage as it not only provides depth for potential injuries, it also...

    So who's all nicked up so far?

    Well, I had some R elbow bursitis that I was dealing with a week or so ago but seem to be better now. Thanks for asking.

    Higgins!!!

    LB is such an instinctive position, and that he clearly has which can help make up for any physical deficiencies.

    Rough. Correct about small towns. I grew up in town of 1,400. Often times when there is an accident or tragedy, both parties and families know each other and your feel for both families. That's the proverbial wrench in the whole situation living in a small town.

    Yes, so dangerous going over 100 in vehicles, especially old cars that could have suspension issues like tie rods, control arms etc. People, especially young people don't think of that. What's really dangerous are the stupid kids/people going 125mph on a motorcycle on an interstate or highway...

    ...........and oh, the car my dad bought for my sister 5yrs older prior to getting the Pinto was a Chevy Vega. Now, I say he did a good job of fixing it up and painting it, but is was a huge POS to.

    When I hear Ford Pinto, I immediately think of explosion. Weren't they known for exploding if getting hit in the back due to where the gas tank was located? True story, our dad bought a Ford Pinto for my older sister who was 2 yrs older. When I turned 16 that was what I drove until I quickly...

    College Football Playoff

    I haven't been on the site as much as I have in the past. Catching up I guess and suspect will be on much more again now that football is starting. I seen the site now has a new administrator? Again, I may far behind! Well welcome!

    Iowa Should Run At Least One Flea Flicker Every Game - Here's Why?

    I listed to the same podcast and it was interesting. Yes, there is always a backup play to call depending on what the defense shows.

    Iowa Should Run At Least One Flea Flicker Every Game - Here's Why?

    And the thing is that they had a great run of success with those plays, which was kind of unprecedented. Maybe it has been a roster situation not having quite the players to attempt them, dunno.

    Iowa Should Run At Least One Flea Flicker Every Game - Here's Why?

    First let me preface this post by saying that I am not a huge trick play guy. A team has to have the solid pieces/units in place to have an identity and to be consistent against opponents, especially good teams. But, I have always thought a team should run a flea flicker at least one time...
