It's no Left Hand Milk Stout Nitro, but I thought it was pretty good. 4.0

My head hopes for a playoff spot, but my heart hopes for the Rose Bowl. I've never been to a bowl game but would probably go to the Rose. Playoff game, I'd certainly love watching on TV, but I don't think I'd go. It's just the way I grew up, and it will probably take a few more years before I...

Some of us at the game noticed this. It's nice to see them changing things up in all aspects of the game. jNW didn't know how to react to it at all. One of those uncovered gunners then went down and got to the returner right when he caught it. Keep these changes coming!

Whenever he says "I'm not smart enough to figure that out." he means "I can't believe you're not smart enough to figure that out." There are 2 rules to success: 1. Never tell everything you know.

I think you're thinking of Zach Gabelmann. He was the wedgebuster a year or two before starting at LB.

I'm not sure about their players, but for strategy, I predict they will load the box with basically 8-9, or maybe even 10 guys. They will use the blueprint provided by UNI and BSU to compress the field and hope we don't go over the top. The onus will be on our offense to: -run through them...

Alabama Crimson Tide, Navy Midshipmen, Harvard Crimson, I believe the USC women's teams are sometimes called "The Women of Troy" (not sure if that's official though)

I think of it like in Spider Man 2 (the Sam Raimi version, not this new one) when he loses his mask on the train, but then the guy hands it back to him. The people get it: he has chosen to hide his identity, and since he's working for their benefit, they should respect that.

As disappointing as getting the #6 seed is based on where we were a few weeks ago, I agree that this set up nicely. -Start off with the one team in the B1G we know we're better than. Knock off the rust and regain some confidence. -Get a chance to get the MSU monkey off our backs in a...

I honestly thought the postponing of the Indiana game might be bad (not this bad though). -We just had our "bye week", we were ready to get playing again -struggled, but won and knocked the rust off in a trap game at PSU -Indiana was reeling, and I think we would have won that one -Who knows...

I'd take the 5 line in the Midwest Bracket right now. Play FSU, Kentucky, and then Wichita State (or maybe Okla St if they get themselves straightened out). Actually the 5 seed in the South would be fine too.

FWIW, the DMR article mentions that Young said it came down to Louisville and Iowa.

This will be a very Junior/Senior dominated team...which is what KF's system needs.

That's pretty funny. I was thinking earlier in the year a good (but kinda bush-league) strategy would be to give everyone behind the goal posts a poster that is the same shade of yellow as the posts. During opponents kicks, they could all hold it up. I bet that would make it really tough to...

I've given this show a lot of grief for being terrible. I still turn it on every once in awhile to see if by chance they are having an interesting conversation about local teams. This morning I was pleasantly surprised with an engaging conversation between T or T (I could never tell which was...

For some reason I'm starting to buy into this team. The downside is that means a loss will hurt that much more. Looking back, since 2002, every season that I would consider "successful" includes a win over Wisky (02, 03, 04, 08, 09; 05 is somewhere between successful and disappointing). For...

I guess I read this differently than you...

That's a fair point. I don't know if simple TOP proves or disproves my point though. I'm talking about the relative success of NW's offense vs IA's defense (relative to other teams that they play). I would have to find some season-long averages for each team. I might look into that at some...

It's once again time for my annual reminder that the common theme you hear about the Iowa-Northwestern series is wrong. Most people still seem to think that the reason jNW has so much success against Iowa is that their dink-and-dunk offense is the perfect foil for Iowa's bend-don't-break...

Thanks. I don't know why I thought it was on 4th. But you are correct, the rule clearly states the difference is on 4th. I had originally thought it was on any down. Oh well. I also agree with the thought that the first TD should have been reviewed. I'm guessing it was by the review...
