A lot of reporting that CM has basically quit the team and won't be traveling this weekend.

The best part of the whole thing is that he (Congress) is really the only way this can get solved. Pass legislation to empower schools to take all the damn TV revenue and pay these players directly and with a salary cap. Take the collectives/dark money out of the paying players business and...

OMG, Fry's head is going to explode when he reads what this dummy is saying. Tommy T: "This isn't the way it used to be. We need to go back to that. And you kids stay off my lawn!"

While Iowa's QB situation is historically sad, I am trying to think of how our rivals fare in that department. Minny and Nebbie? Can't recall either having an NFL QB of note. ISU had Sage Rosenfeld who stuck for a while. Anyone else? Wisky had Wilson, but he was only at Wisky for a year as a...

Holgerson to Iowa would have made too much sense. KF would have never brought in a guy like Holgerson as OC. Too much personality and ability. KF likes good soldiers on his coaching staff, not fellow generals. Nebbie's offense did not look any better last week. I think they broke their QB...

Minnesota fans might want to have a word on this, but I get your point. Assuming that the current regime is in place for a few more years, it will be on Lester to find some talent to succeed in his system. Frankly, I do not think that next years starter is in the building right now. Sullivan...

Yep. He got us as closed to the promised land as we have ever gotten. One defensive stop away....

My uncle is one of the private jet guys. They fly in early the morning of, have a dedicated tailgating van stored at the airport, and have three parking spots right under the home bleachers. His group does a serious tailgate and then has club seats, but they almost always leave in the 4th...

True, but what did Tate, Stanzi and CJ have in common? They were all three year starters but their senior years were all disappointing from a wins and losses perspective. Each led their teams to double digit wins their junior seasons and then Iowa laid an egg with a playmaking, three-year...

Much like Iowa, Nebbie's last two games are both basically coin tosses, IMHO. I would not bet any of those three games. If Rhule wins both of these games Omaha would not be on fire, they would probably throw him a parade down Dodge Street. If he splits, especially if the win is at Iowa, then...

CJ definitely was a playmaker. He had all the physical gifts and was a smart QB. That is why he is still holding a clipboard in the NFL. Banks, Tate, Stanzi, and CJ. That is the full list of difference making QBs in the KF era. Roughly 9.5 seasons out of 25. Sigh.

I don't know if it was the last game, but I was at the Purdue game maybe 6 years ago when it snowed 9 inches the night before the game. Took my son who was in middle school at the time. I had 50 yard lines seats and had a ball. Had to stand the whole game because they did not clear the stands...

I am jealous Fry. Will be out of state for Thanksgiving or I would have found a way to get there. Even bad Iowa football at Kinnick is a lot better than most things we all do!

I thought Minny embarrassed itself when it built a new stadium holding under 50k. But, this takes the cake. Can you drive your car up to the endzone and honk loud when your kid scores? Is the local dentist going to be the referee? Do the players Moms have a tug of war at half time to raise...

NW should be politely shown the door. They do not belong in this conference with respect to major athletics. And, sorry, that is what is driving the boat these days. Their shiny new Texas High School Stadium just proved this very point.

A bowl game is fun, and I have been to three now. But bowl season is a hectic time of year and I have kids, stepkids, and like 8 extended family things to get to. Honestly, I think once I become an empty nester I could see myself hitting more bowl games. Warm weather in December and hanging...

'23 was a tougher Hill to climb.

I think Fry is probably a bit hyperbolic about Nebbie, but its hard to argue with the results that program has vomited up the last decade and more. I agree that Nebraska can and does recruit as well or better than Iowa if measured by stars. But, if measured by a good coach, who can evaluate...

I give this about as much weight as I give any post on this Board. Opinions are like assholes. Everyone's got one.

Well, Nebraska is doubling down with its new OC. He is part of the invention team for Air Raid. Any system can work if you have the right talent to run the system. Therein lies the problem at these schools. Recruiting speed to cold weather schools is a challenge.
