    Throwback Arrived!

    Tweeter, I raise my boys right. He knows exactly who he is. After it came he was chasing his little brother "Denard" around the house pounding him to the floor repeatedly. The Throwbacks were distributed via the business school's entrepreneurship program, I think and they were sold late in...

    Throwback Arrived!

    I was terrified I had #3. Not that I wouldn't mind Jason White, but he was hurt. I was too scared to call and see what number I got. Too much so to even open the box. I just told my four year old to open it for me and put it on... It was 94. Helmet has some nice scratches on it. Jersey is...

    Too Early Look at the BCS

    SOS is no longer a direct component of the BCS formula. Several years ago SOS was added to your score along with the rankings. Now it is an indirect component. Every computer inherently values SOS. Human polls do as well, to a certain degree (observe the meteoric rise of any team that beats...

    Big Ten Rankings and Projections Week #5

    1 - tOSU - After looking all world on offense and defense during the preseason (with a weakness in special teams), they looked very ordinary vs the Illini. They remain on top because their defense is special. Maybe better than Iowa's. They just shut down the Illini in the 2nd half. Passing...

    Too Early Look at the BCS

    ISU can definitely help us this week. The computers will give ISU lots of love (helping our SOS) if they win and Utah will be out of BCS contention. My fear remains, however, that we lose to tOSU and we are out. OSU to the BCS Champ game closes the Rose Bowl to us because of the outside AQ...

    Iowa #2 in Nation in Defense

    The big drop in pass yards is a result of losing three great pass defenders to the draft and the run defense improving quite a bit. We have only played one decent running team so far, as well, in ISU. We will know a lot more after the next three games. If we are still top 5 in total defense...

    Arizona

    This. Baring BSU somehow making the BCS Champ game, if there is an undefeated B10+1+1 or P12 team BSU will be in the Rose Bowl. If somehow BSU falters, then it will be TCU, Utah or someone else like that. ISU can help by knocking off Utah this Saturday. If all three teams have a loss...

    Kinnick color scheme and the cold

    If the three people you refer to are season ticket holders they must not have e-mail because I have gotten at least 3 notices via e-mail and one via snail mail about it. I actually think they did a fairly good job of promoting it. The weather this time of year is not normally this cold...

    Weather for Saturday still looking GREAT

    Iowa City Weekend Weather Forecast (52246) - weather.com Low of 36 over night now. That will be after the game, but yikes, that is cold. I'm gonna need an extra large gold t-shirt to put over my coat.

    2004 recruits in NFL

    I think (and I could be wrong) that Shonn was a two star in 2004 and did not qualify, forcing him to prep school. When we re-recruited him in 2005, he was upped to a 3 star.

    Game time vs Ohio State

    It isn't a rule, but something that the B10+1+1 tries to encourage for fan safety. It is possible that it could still be played at night, I think, but very unlikely. If either team loses a couple of games, it could be a noon game, but I would think a 3:30pm EST is most likely.

    Game watch...Toronto?

    Not Toronto, but I was shocked when our basic cable in Vancouver had BTN! HBO was scrambled, but I had my greatest games all month long much to my wife's displeasure! :D

    FERENTZ OPEN PRACTICE TRANSCRIPT

    I can see that as well, and I hope that is what he meant.

    FERENTZ OPEN PRACTICE TRANSCRIPT

    Maybe I missed it, but KF commented about BW3 hopefully deciding he enjoys football. Am I misreading it or are we looking at a guy who is burnt out a bit? Sorry, I've been on the road a lot lately and if this was previously discussed just disregard or delete. "We are a better team with him...

    Iowa Football & Ron Zook

    I think you are being optimistic. Mizzou will pound them. N Ill is a pretty decent team this year, with a lot of folks coming back from a team that lost a close one at Wisky last year on a late comeback. S Ill, they should beat, though. Maybe they can get Minny or Indy at home, but I doubt it.

    Iowa Football & Ron Zook

    Given another set of new coaches, and the fact that they handed the offense to a freshman who by their own accounts, can't pass very well, but can run, tells me they expect him to be running for his life. Too bad there aren't any "playmakers" in C-U since that is one of the reasons NS choose...

    Big Ten: Team by Team Achilles Heels

    PSU is going to lose a lot of games this year. Mark it down. They just don't have what they need to re-tool. With the fewest returning starters and the loss of pretty much all of the team's leadership from the last two years, I don't think Evan Royster can carry them. If they do as well as...

    VIDEO: 1985 #1 Iowa vs Michigan State (naked bootleg game)

    One thing I noticed is what a cannon Chuck Long had for an arm.

    Hilton Head/SC Hawk Bars?

    In between savannah and HH there is a sports bar at exit 109 on 95 that can get the game. On HH nick's (on 278) is a Steeler's bar that would probably flip a TV over if you asked. They are already black and gold and have a bean bag toss!
