    How is Iowa doing in the mythical West Division this year?

    If the 7-team Big Ten West still existed, the conference records would be 1. Iowa 4-3 2. Minn 4-3 3. ILL 3-3 4. Wisc 3-3 5. Neb 2-4 6. NW 2-4 7. Pur 0-6 Iowa would currently hold the tiebreaker due to head to head win over Minn If the Big Ten had split into new 9-team east west...

    When Did We Stop Calling It The Two-Minute Warning?

    Two minute warning is an NFL thing that's meant to notify the teams that rule changes that go into effect in the last 2 minutes of a half are now in effect. The 2 minute time-out, brand new to college just this year, is not meant to notify teams of anything. It's just a timeout. A...

    Does it feel a little like 98?

    I guess in 2014, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2022. Iowa had similar records at this point but still had a mathematical chance to win the Big Ten West. If the 7-team Big Ten West still existed the division standings would be Iowa 4-3 Minn 4-3 ILL 3-3 Wisc 3-3 Neb 2-4 NW 2-4 Pur 0-6 And Iowa would be in...

    Shaggy - the new QB

    I heard he had a good reputation as a thrower. From his limited time he played against UCLA, there seems to be some truth to that. But there must some good reasons why he was only a 5th string walk on at Iowa and there must be some good reasons why things did not work out for him at Col St.

    Reasons for Iowa football struggling

    I have a new theory that Iowa does not play well on the road when they play on grass. But I am too lazy to do the work to prove it.

    Does Iowa have a turf problem?

    Iowa has laid an egg in 2 straight road games at Mich St and UCLA. In both games, Iowa's defense did a very bad job of tackling compared to the typical Iowa defense. This got me wondering what could be the problem other than just being on the road in general. One thing MSU and UCLA have in...

    That must be one hell of a concussion

    I heard a while back that James Daniels is the only lineman in the NFL that is wearing the padded helmet during games. I don't know if that still is true.

    Texas A&M - Commerce

    Which is why Texas St is now a serious candidate to join the newly reborn Pac conference. I think there is an official requirement that all football schools in the new Pac must have a name that ends with "state". The other 7 football schools are: Wash St, Ore St, Boise St, Col St, Fresno...

    That must be one hell of a concussion

    I still have a hunch that Cade was banged up before the NW game even started. The plan was to let Cade play in the 1Q, and if it was clear he could not continue, then bring in Sullivan and let him finish the game. Kinda like in 2021 when Spencer petras started against NW even though he was...

    Bowl Talk

    Of course if PSU loses to Minn, PSU probably drops out of the 12-team CFP and falls to the Citrus. Same if Indiana loses to both Mich and Ohio St.

    Bowl Talk

    If Iowa wins out and goes 9-3, the Citrus Bowl may not have much choice. Really only 2 choices, Iowa or Illinois Minn still has to play PSU and Wisc, and they lost to Iowa. They will probably have at least 4 losses. Mich already has 4 losses and still has to play Indiana and Ohio St. Neb...

    Iowa QB Situation Remains Mystery

    https://www.thegazette.com/iowa-football/where-iowa-football-stands-with-injuries-following-week-10-win-over-wisconsin/ Kirk has already announced that Lainez is out for the UCLA game. I think somebody said he has a cast on his hand. Not sure what McNamara's status is. If McNamara and...

    Iowa in CFP???

    Lets take it one step at a time. Let's try to get ranked in the Top 25 again. UCLA is a dangerous team that just upset Nebraska. Now Iowa has to turn around after it's big win and travel all the way to the Rose Bowl to play on a Friday night. This has trap game written all over it.

    Iowa in CFP???

    No, if the Big Ten gets 4 teams, they will be Oregon (projected 13-0 or 12-1) Indiana (projected 12-1 or 11-1) Ohio St (projected 11-2 or 10-2) Penn St (projected 11-2 or 11-1) All 4 teams above will have less than 3 losses. The SEC will have a similar lineup with 3 or 4 teams. The ACC...
