    Yeah, we are all Covid experts too.

    Questionable Call

    I’m still confused because the ball bounced. I’ve seen multiple games where an obvious fair catch call was advanced once the ball bounce. The other part I’m confused about is I’ve never seen a fair catch wave reviewed. The line on this game moved 2 points in 12 hours to kickoff. Just sayin’….

    I'm in favor of any receiver getting involved in the offense. I refuse to believe that not a one of them can get open in 3 years. And if they did, they all drop the ball. I don't know if it's the route selection, or the possibility that they don't know how to plant their feet and drive to...

    Bowl Game 2023

    I was at the White Out game in PSU and ended up sitting next to a Citrus Bowl rep in a bar. He did seem liked a junior member of the Citrus Bowl reps. And he said that both Iowa and PSU were eligible. That kind of confused me about Jerry Palm's reporting (who I normally think is on top of...

    Week 8: North Carolina.... If the ACC ever exploded, the biggest fight between the SEC and the B1G would be for North Carolina. So, I'm counting them as a future B1G team.

    Bowl Game 2023

    You know, I would have thought that too, but check this bit out from CBS: "The Big Ten's no-repeat rule could end up creating some difficulty filling its bowl matchups this season. Iowa is now on track to win the Big Ten West after beating Wisconsin. They Hawkeyes could finish 11-2 yet not...

    Hard to believe...well maybe not....Iowa is in the driver's seat in the West

    I really doubt they are winning all 3 against Maryland @Wisconsin and Iowa. That’s a heck of a lot harder than Iowa and Wisconsin (sanz tOSU loss) have left.

    Hard to believe...well maybe not....Iowa is in the driver's seat in the West

    If you believe tOSU is going to kill Wisconsin, there is even a game to loose and still be crowned West Campions for All Eternity.

    Is Kirk right?

    I think it’s hard to say that you are playing complimentary football when your offense basically gives you one play. There just is no room for error for the defense and we all see it. At this point the people on this board are so use to it, we can all see what Iowa wins look like, and what...

    I know what you are saying about the B1G championship game. It's no fun being de-pants like that on a Saturday night with all the football eyes on you. I've had the opinion since Black Friday last year that the players didn't want any part of it either last year and just played a real clunker...

    Iowa is 9.5 opening dog to Wisconsin

    The strangest thing about Wisconsin going into this game is that a safety leads them in tackles. That's usually a very bad omen for a defense.

    What's funny is USC is the program isn't even the program I'm most nervous about playing out of the new additions.

    Week 7: Penn St. because I'm tired of either loosing for picking P12 teams or having a major heart attack every time I do.

    Deacon Hill QBR

    I really don' t know if Joey is the answer either at QB. I remember the Music City Bowl in way different fashion than all of you if everyone thinks Labas is the remedy for our offense. I do know this, nobody is getting fired if the Hawkeyes are 10-2 even with non-existent QB play. And we...

    We are where ...

    I’m not sure I can remember Iowa loosing to any air raid team and that includes USC when they ran it. I like that the run plays they have out of it are designed to see how good your MLB is. That side of the ball I feel great about. Our special teams are real special this year. I don’t even...

    Next few years of conference schedules released

    Well, yeah... totally agree. If you can settle it on the field the better. But TBH, the problems just get expanded when you ask what's the difference between an SEC schedule, and ACC schedule or a B1G schedule.. I'd rather we just play other B1G teams, run our own championship tourney and...

    Next few years of conference schedules released

    To me, it looks like the B1G office divided us into tiers and made us play 3 teams from the top tier, 3 teams from the middle tier and 3 teams from the bottom tier each year. It's just really balanced across the board for this to be a true random draw which is what they did in cross games in...

    Who is signing up for Peacock to watch our heated rivalry game?

    Not that this particularly helps those in Iowa, but if you have Comcast as a cable provider, Peacock is free.
