I'm 0-3 as of Friday. I left feeling pleased that we didn't get blown out like we did against Stanford. Bathroom lines were ridiculous as well - but it's still cool to be in the Rose Bowl.

Do it! I've been up the Pacific Coast Highway multiple times on a motorcycle and it's breathtaking.

We are heading over from Phoenix, as well. I haven't made it to an Iowa game in a few years, so I am looking forward to it. My two grandsons will be coming with me to attend their first Iowa Hawkeye football game.

Not a Kirk apologist and I also believe Sullivan should get the chance to start this week - BUT, we have seen Sullivan make a couple of really poor decisions when things break down. He's made some ill-advised attempts to throw a pass when he should secure it and eat the loss, etc. I'm hopeful...

Check out the stats on that game. He threw for 461, had 3 TDs but also 3 picks. His QBR was something like 44.

If any other positional player turned the ball over like he did in the Ohio State game, they'd be riding the bench for the rest of the year. One fumble will put a running back or wide receiver on the bench - but poor quarterback play will be tolerated well beyond reason.

November 4, 2017. We will always have November 4, 2017. Unfortunately, this will be October 5, 2024 and we will likely see the reverse - Ohio State 55 - Iowa 24. Except I don't think we can score 24. To end this stream of conscious gibberish, my final thought is Ohio State 42 - Iowa 10.

They are employees of the State of Iowa. The fact that athletic department revenues fund their salaries doesn't change that - because the revenue would otherwise be income to the University of Iowa - a subdivision of the State of Iowa. It's still State of Iowa money whether its from football...

"Average" is 65 spots better than we were in 2023.

We will be up by 9 at half (16-7) and then do virtually nothing during the second half. Minnesota will score 7 (16-14) and we will have a 2 point lead and the ball with 2 minutes left and not achieve a first down. We will then punt it back to Minnesota with 1:45 left on the clock and then...

In most circumstances, I would agree with you (and I did watch the entire game - twice). But the problem arises when there isn't even the THREAT of passing. It wasn't even a gamble for ISU - they knew they could sell out on the run and they did. ISU would have had to respect at least the...

We don't even get to that point (the defense giving up 40 yards to allow ISU into FG position) if we get a first down on offense. We ran 3 times into a stacked box. With ZERO threat of a pass, ISU sold out to the run and we had to punt it back to ISU instead of taking a victory knee. The D...

At the time, I didn't hate the decision to go for 2 in the third quarter. In hindsight, it hurt, but at the moment I was pleased to see Kirk being aggressive and trying to score. After re-watching the game yesterday (it took a day to heal up psychologically), my biggest complaint came from...

Maybe play a quarterback who can check out of a play when he sees 10 in the box. Maybe empower your quarterback to make that call when he sees the defensive lineup. This feels like we have been bashing our heads against the same wall for 3 years and still expecting the wall to break.

To take shots down the field, we have to have a QB who can throw down the field. Sounds like consistency on the QB front has been spotty to poor. We've been saying this same thing down in AZ for the last couple of years, but they just can't seem to pull the trigger on anything downfield...

Pop.

And, this year, Alabama played Middle Tennessee State and University of Louisiana-Monroe (so far). On November 21, they battle the mighty Charleston Southern Buccaneers. But they are Alabama - where losses don't count against you and strength of your OOC is ignored.

THIS is exactly why I was against the BCS and against the revised/current playoff system. We have tossed out all "tradition" in exchange for naming a clear National Champion. With the BCS, we didn't even achieve much clarity as to the National Champion. It was just as murky as the prior...

Nothing describes Kirk better than "pure, unhinged sass."

Re: *Whew! I would rather lose to UCLA, Arizona State or Arizona than watch Iowa play Illinois State or North Texas. I give Nebraska a lot of credit for scheduling BYU and Miami in their out-of-conference schedule. They may have lost those games, but they are at least putting games on...
