    Iowa Can Still Win The West!

    I like your pessimism, but aside from the bad ISU loss (which should've been a victory), Mich, Ill, and OSU are good teams. Yes, Iowa has a terrible offense and that dead horse has been beaten to a pulp. If the offensive line can protect somewhat better, and open up some running lanes, I...

    Natural Immunity To COVID??

    *flu Yes, it's a different technology. Having said that, mRNA vaccine technology is not brand new. Bringing it to production is new.

    Ukraine War Update

    I LOL'd Tulsi Gabbard and some folks got their panties in a bunch. Independent of party (she's been both) I find her to be full of BS. She fits right in with our current political process. With regard to Ukraine... what book did you write? Interesting.

    Ukraine War Update

    It's funny because she's not credible to many. She has made numerous statements that are head scratchers, or outright false statements. This year, she said that the russian media had the same level of freedom as American media. Maybe that plays well to a certain fanbase, if you will, but...

    Leistikow Says Petras Will Start Saturday

    I agree. I think that can help against teams we can beat. Whether Padilla is an excellent scrambler who can then find guys downfield after the scramble is an open question. Would love to have another Banks type player but it seems we don't seem to recruit mobile quarterbacks? I mean...

    I haven't felt this hopeless since...

    This is a great question. We see dual threat QBs dominating college and NFL games every week. To me, if Iowa had some kind, any kind, of X factor, it might change things just enough. But no. The only way Iowa's current scheme works is with a dominant O line, and a solid ability to run...

    Leistikow Says Petras Will Start Saturday

    I don't think we necessarily disagree. We both think Padilla should start over Petras, and we both feel the OL is terrible. The only area we might slightly disagree on is how much the QB matters when the O line is that bad. It's possible Padilla avoids a few sacks and runs for a few first...

    And even the fanbase that has Rodgers might be whining right now!

    Don't you think the O line is the biggest limiter? I do.

    Leistikow Says Petras Will Start Saturday

    Maybe not on HN, but hell yes, these people exist. They only blame the QB. Sources of evidence include comment sections on facebook , etc. (seriously, I'm afraid to say), as well as listening to boneheads at kinnick. Most of us know the coaching has been bad, the schemes suck, and that the...

    Leistikow Says Petras Will Start Saturday

    I agree with you, but really want to temper the expectations of an angry fan base who previously thought that perhaps Padilla was going to be a savior. That's not fair to him. The only advantage I can see so far is that Padilla is mobile. That's a big upgrade over the much slower Petras.

    Leistikow Says Petras Will Start Saturday

    Hard to tell if your assertion is fair or not. I agree Padilla was put into a really tough spot. Two turnovers on his first three touches, though? Wicked bad. I would like Padilla to start moving ahead, but it doesn't sound like it's going to happen. At least he's mobile.

    Leistikow Says Petras Will Start Saturday

    Like others, I would hope that they would just go with Padilla the rest of the year. Having said that, I don't think it matters. I expect they will both look pretty bad, as they QB a bad offense with a bad scheme, a bad O line, a bad running game, limited game changers at skill positions and...

    Maybe close to 5 years ago. I worked for 3 years in Denver and then had a great opportunity and now I'm in CA.

    They just keep replaying the same one they've used the past couple of decades. So, maybe our crabby admin here is right, maybe we all see the pressers. I just saw this weekly one 15 years ago!

    Interesting thoughts. It seems very probable that Doyle and BF walked around being enormous pricks. This can happen when entitled, powerful people can act with impunity. Also, when people think their job is a lifetime appointment... I guess the Doyalizer fucked around and found out.

    Natural Immunity To COVID??

    It will be interesting to see the efficacy of the new bivalent booster, which now specifically targets the Omicron variant. It's getting similar to flu vaccines now (quadravalent vaccines are common).
