tie his shoelaces together

Our D was playing well enough that the only realistic chance PSU had to come back and make it close was if we threw a couple pics with good returns, etc. Playing it conservative was probably the high-percentage move for getting the W.

Lighten up Francis. You actually get upset with evidence that not everyone knows as much about college football as you? Why?

Put me down for being against the whole "lets all wear...." fad in college football. Harmless, sure, but I just think it's cheesy and I don't see why we have to follow the herd. baaaaahumbug..... :) not that big of a deal, just an opinion.

... that being said, you guys do have a heck of a good team. Foles looks like an NFL QB to me.

Thank you for that. That's a respectful, thoughtful post, and yes, I had some good conversations with happy, stable Arizona folks about the game. However, it's hard to believe the U of A crowd overall is ever "one of the most friendliest." Typically, at road games, there is taunting going on...

Trying to be as objective as possible, I agree that he is below average at the task of providing the simple details of the result of many plays in a timely manner. He broadcasts like a hybrid of play-by-play guy and color guy. I'd prefer he make sure that job #1 for him on every play is to...

The obsession so many of them have about Iowa is interesting. They have a ton going for them, at top-5 all-time program. The level of joy taken with our loss, even before our conference rescues them from the sh*t show that is the big-12, is baffling. I'd think they'd just be satisfied with...

I don't understand the notion of not caring about Michigan. They're a road game for us this year, and they'll be in our division for decades to come. Sounds pretty relevant to me.

Good article. Interesting to get the opposition's take. The last paragraph is just kinda funny. So, Cyclone fans can't expect an entirely comfortable trip to kinnick, free of "back handed compliments" and "icy receptions"? They're not going to feel completely at home? They're not going to...

buh-bye, cyclones

You're forgetting, the Big Ten is weak according Big-12 fans, so it's no big deal for them. :)

C'mon, Nebraska vs Penn State annually is a no-brainer. The conference has 4 of the all-time top-10 programs, and HAS to showcase that.

Given these divisions, it makes sense. With Illinois and NWestern being split, that made it automatic that they'd be protected. Also, can't argue too much w/ Wisky vs Minny, although Iowa vs Wisky would've worked well too. That leaves the Iowa/Mich. St. - Purdue/Indiana 4-some. Flip a...

Crossing my fingers: Iowa, Nebraska and Michigan in the same division. Pleeeeeeeeease!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If I'm Cubs GM: 1) They're in big trouble. 2) Give me a left handed bat with a high OPS.

Agreed, NW and Ill have more upside than IU and Minny. Nonetheless, I'd love this alighment, including the prospect of playing NU in the last game every year. Devil's advocate perspective would be that our division would most likely have more top-to-bottom quality most years, but I actually...

You're probably right, but to me, it's a bit sad that Iowa, as a Big Ten member since 1899, would need aid from the new guy. I'm wondering if that's the case. Whose voice truly has the most weight? Iowa's or N.U.'s? If the answer isn't Iowa, that's really sad.

Another Harry Doyle: "Vaughn, a juvenile delinquent in the offseason, making his major league debut."

LOVE it. One of my favorite Harry Caray memories is when, during a lull in the action, he'd say something completely random like this gem: "Bowa spelled backwards is awob."
