Anything else interesting going on in CFB? Things are going too well in this game for me to risk switching my screen...

I wouldn't. What if he puts 4 TDs on the board? Might mess with the team chemistry.

Please let's not get ahead of ourselves. Another 32 minutes of play remain before this game is decided. We will be practicing prevent in the second half. If the huskirts blew a 3TD lead, we are capable of doing better.

Time to practice prevent defense. It might help down the road when we are up against tOSU.

Good one. We could also go "the 12th person" route. In one fell swoop, we could amerliorate the annual controversy around the pink locker rooms and paint A&M as the sexist pigs that they are.

Ever since fall camp began and bits of info began floating around, the mood on this site (and others) has slowly but very surely started to become less negative. Gotta be gnawing some craws. As to OP: Yeah, I am pumped also.

If Iowa goes 10-2, I will be delighted, that's all. We've been there a few times before, right? Assuming a top-10 finish, this would be the 5th time in the last dozen years. If Iowa goes undefeated in the B1G, some of the hyperbolic poll choices could receive mild consideration. Niw if he wins...

The main page media running blog (at the time of this post) is emitting a very confident vibe from the coaches.

1. I had a perfect bead on this season except last minute Powell showed up 2. This is a 5-7 team except for the guys who didn't play last year 3. This team has 6 NFL guys who showed us nothing last year. Nobody could've predicted that. 4. How often do Michigan, Nebraska, MSU and Wisconson put...

Unless I am missing something, there is no rule or reason why a 8-4 team cannot find itself in the B1G championship game, and I think there is an excellent chance that a 9-3 or 8-4 team will represent the Legends division. I see no dominant team in Legends, and I expect Iowa to claw for every...

8-4 or 8-5 before Bowl. I also want to point out that Jon has NOT made a on-the-record prediction in his OP, only listed all possible possibilities (along side some probabilities).

I am surprised that the 2008 team is deemed a closer match than the 2003 version. The 2003 offense and defense were both virtual clones of the upcoming squad. On ST, there was Kaeding though, but then Meyer just might surprise on the upside.

Granted it is HS film but Shimonek's highlights were the best I've seen and that includes the 3 QBs in the running for this year. OTOH, Canzeri's HS film was outstanding and his debut wasn't commensurately mind-blowing...I do still hope that he will produce before he's done.

Great to read the analysis and notice that words like touch and timing might be coming back into fashion. On a related note, were decent yac generated? (I realize it's too much to ask for such a stat, a general gut-feel would do.)

It appears you just might be right for more reasons than one. Almost 24-hours after the scrimmage and not one thread (or post for that matter) has appeared on this board emitting pessimistic stink, that too despite the largish resident undercover troll population. I can only assume that they...

If you really "want to be optimistic" you would take a much simpler possibility -- which could be that KF/GD/et-al decided that performing in front of a live crowd is the best way to zero in on a starting QB in the current situation. And there is a ton of fresh coaching blood, so some new...

I have to agree. What stands out to me is that he said all three new guys show the ability to extend plays. Furthermore, he flat out seems to think the QB and receivers are already (in spring) ahead of the QB-receivers from last year. Here are selected quotes from his answers related to the...

The article started off with what appeared tobe intelligent analysis before petering off to such an extent that there is little to make a connection, leave alone a firm connection, to the title of that piece. As things stand, we have a provocative title followed by random (even if factual)...

Let me outline a few more thoughts to sway at least the cautiously optimistic guys-- 1. You will find a better player (upgrade via experience or talent) at EVERY spot compared to last year. You may choose to quibble about 1-2 (Center, and 1 CB) but in general Iowa will field a better team. (I...

So you are saying that the pain of losing a decent CB trumps the pleasure of losing the nearly worst QB in D1? :-)
