    Preview, Prediction: Iowa-Illinois State

    Hard to have any confidence in the offense unless until you see it look different from the last 3 years. But here is how I am going to talk myself into an optimistic outlook: I think the OL and running game were deceptively decent last year. It was hard to see because the scheme lacked...

    Too many laws...

    I thought I shared it as a gift article, but maybe I messed it up. The proliferation of laws and regulations over the last century is crazy.

    Too many laws...

    I also like Rubin, but sometimes forget she was a Republican pre-Trump. Share something from Pierce...I am not sure if I am familiar? I used to really like the podcast Uncommon Knowledge with Peter Robinson from the Hoover Institute...

    The health of the people in our country

    In regards to the health of our populace, we are making slow but steady improvements in the proportion of individuals meeting the physical activity guidelines (at least we were pre-pandemic...participation went down a lot during COVID, especially for youth, but has largely recovered since)...

    Thursday and Friday Night CFB Games

    Are we all going to get together and cheer for Nebraska next week?!? I am in, Rhule seems like a good dude. I don't mind Deion, I think he has a great football mind and seems to preach a lot of important lessons to his team. But he does make himself easy to root against with some of his...

    Too many laws...

    https://wapo.st/4g1mcoB From George Will (probably my favorite conservative writer), on how our laws have gotten unwieldy. Posting for my conservative friends here! While I grew up in a very conservative family (politics were not much discussed, but you knew which way the wind blew), I have...

    Thursday and Friday Night CFB Games

    I had forgotten their QB went to Rutgers. That seemed like an odd move at the time (I am sure NIL-motivated), but he did avoid the ignominy of being on the 18th place team.

    Thursday and Friday Night CFB Games

    Super disappointed in @JoeyLabasForPresident . He failed to note that the Central Michigan Fighting Labases will be playing tonight at 7pm (make sure you have your ESPN+ subscription current).

    2 RBs in 1000 yard club in RB position room

    We would kill for a MAC offense. I see Labas is playing tonight. Predictions for total offense and TDs?

    2 RBs in 1000 yard club in RB position room

    Wadley and Daniels both hit 1,000 yds in 2016. In 2015, Canzeri was just short of 1,000, Daniels had about 650 yds, and Wadley had about 500 yds. Something like that seems possible with this RB room. Here are Lester's top rushers when he was at W. Mich: 2017: 1,228 yds and 589 yds 2018...

    The health of the people in our country

    I like that bit, and I just hope we can all add to that a bit of humility to recognize that none of us knows everything, and we all have lots to learn.

    The health of the people in our country

    I am sorry if I come off like an asshole in this thread, I try to avoid doing so most of the time. I am getting discouraged by how much of the nihilism you are expressing (we can't know anything, everything is corrupt) that I see in the world. Maybe it is just people being more realistic than...

    The health of the people in our country

    But everyone knows they need to be active and eat well, the government certainly is not discouraging that. In fact, they issue guidelines on a regular basis telling people how to achieve those goals! https://health.gov/our-work/nutrition-physical-activity/dietary-guidelines People are not...

    Depth chart for week 1

    In each of the last 4 season openers, Iowa has totaled 36 carries per game. If Iowa is going to be the team we all want them to be, and if we are going to keep that RB room happy, that number better be closer to 50 (we were over 40 carries in each of Stanley's 3 season-openers, topping out at 48...

    The health of the people in our country

    What this comes down to is epistemology, or how we think we know things. I am of the view that we know things through accumulation and interpretation of evidence, and lacking evidence on a given topic, or if I lack the expertise and time to find and evaluate evidence on a certain topic, I will...

    The health of the people in our country

    Because the risk of adverse events (e.g. myocarditis, pericarditis, anaphylaxis) is extremely low (1 in a million range), and all of these events typically resolve with no long term effects. While children have very low risk of serious outcome with COVID, the risk is not zero, and there is still...

    Depth chart for week 1

    We have seen certain guys get a little more leash following fumbles, e.g. ISM and Leshaun Williams both overcame some ugly fumbles and get right back in there. I do love the idea of getting corporate sponsorship for the doghouse. While we are at it, I think we should have the long-snapper and...
