    Deep Financial Trouble?

    I have no idea if he's blocked me or not but I'll give it shot for you.

    I was thinking hard working people who are considerate of neighbors.

    Iowa Basketball Records That Will Never Be Broken

    I still remember my father asking after that game was over. "How in the hell do you score 100 points and still lose by 20?" I didn't have the guts to correct him and say they "only" lost by 17.

    Iowa Basketball Records That Will Never Be Broken

    I'd say both of those are safe. Reaching an NCAA Regional Final is also going to be very tough to match. A few more from the TD era: 1988: Scoring 77 points in a half vs Michigan. 1988-1989 Season: Giving up 100+ points in 7 games (69-70 team was close) 1990: Giving up 127 vs Michigan...

    Iowa High School Football

    The Saint Paul Saints have been allowing 1,500 fans per game. Face covering is not required while seated. Meanwhile for $50 you can have a cardboard cut-out of yourself put into a seat at Target Field for Twins home games.

    OT: Derecho!

    It shouldn't be a surprise to anyone how Iowans are handling this.

    OT: Distraction

    Boating on the St Croix River Saturday and Sunday. We usually pull up to a beach at some point and partake in the normal shenanigans. My buddy has a nice dock slip so we'll do grilling there afterward with his marina crew. I'm definitely going to miss the usual docking for an hour or so to...

    Howe: What Now after Big Ten Bombshell?

    I know Minnesota got their field upgraded when the Vikings had to play there so it has a heating system underneath. I have no idea about the rest of the conference. Do any of the others have one? Everyone in the B1G is always done by the end of November. We all remember Iowa playing BC in...

    Big 12 to play fall football

    This is the point. If you're not unified by money, you're not unified. Because money is what college football is all about. Its instability for 8 schools. No issues whatsoever for 2 schools. Especially Texas. The only reason the Big 12 puts up the absurd discrepancy in revenue between Texas...

    Desmond Howard on Nebraska....'work on a way to get their ass out of the BIG

    Yeah only because they need teams. I think the Big 12 would strongly consider any mid level P5 team willing to make the leap, especially if they had a decent name. But no university is that stupid to make such a move to the Big 12 unless they're are no other good options. That conference is...

    Big 12 to play fall football

    You think the SEC and ACC would just play without the other 3 conferences? I think all the conferences can agree on at this point is holding on to hope of a playoff at some point. And the playoff is a majority rules type of thing. 2 dominoes have already fallen. If the Big 12 folds too, I think...

    Howe: What Now after Big Ten Bombshell?

    With this kind of logic you should be running college sports but damn the liberal and Title IX crowd is gonna hate you Trump style. If we could follow your logic above, my only concern about football and basketball long term is our country's ineptitude at dealing with COVID.

    Desmond Howard on Nebraska....'work on a way to get their ass out of the BIG

    You have a solid take here but I would point at Ohio St. The SEC would love to have the Buckeyes and they would even take their rival Michigan too if that was what the asking price was for the jump. Every conference would love to have them. Hell they could go independent and play a national...

    Big 12 to play fall football

    The Big 12 is in a bizarro world right now. Normally they're the least powerful among the P5. However right now, if they're are all unified, they could decide the fate of the college season. They're basically the swing vote between the Pac 12/B1G alliance and the SEC/ACC alliance. However as...

    Howe: What Now after Big Ten Bombshell?

    Teams that make the Super Bowl have to play 19 or 20 games over 6 month period. College teams making championship game have to play 15 games in about 4 and 1/2 months. It can be done. It would require creativity, open-minds, flexibility, and good leadership which is in short supply in...

    Howe: What Now after Big Ten Bombshell?

    I'd like to see a division only schedule in the spring and an expanded playoff. 2 from each division would be cool. Give the Big 12 a total of 4.

    Rondale Moore sitting out season

    Even once COVID is gone this could be the way of the future. Moore, Bateman, & Parsons already have plenty on tape to go with their talent. Players may get to the point where they decide instead of risk playing 12 games while keeping yourself in school, take the season off, be healthy, and get...

    Ranking Big Schedules

    Those 3 teams are always going to have more brutal looking schedules because you can't schedule yourself and they are the 3 worst teams in the conference. Iowa is the only team that has to play Ohio St and PSU on the road. Iowa is one of only 3 teams in the entire conference that skips...

    Howe: Game-By-Game Predictions for Iowa Football ’20

    So far Iowa is definitely on the plus side as far as losing players go. Minnesota lost their best WR and overall player Purdue lost their best WR and overall player Maryland lost their starting QB Michigan St lost a 3 year starter on the OL PSU lost their best defensive player Bateman and...
