I don't think I've ever seen a women's team play as quick in the half-court as Drake did the 1st quarter. Screen, cut, back out, move, cut, screen, back out, move...my goodness, it was like they were on skates, playing at video game speed! And then they nailed 5 of their first 6 treys! But by...

The Bruins won the toss vs Nebraska, took the ball, and marched down the field for a 7-0 lead.

What an entertaining college game! Something like 14 lead changes and 9 ties, back and forth, neither team can hit a 3, then with 4 min remaining 4 consecutive treys by both teams. One player on each team just unstoppable. And then the Hawks hit at 8 straight FTs to seal the game after...

Interesting idea. The biggest problem I see with your proposal is that it picks which teams are the 'best' teams in each conference before any of them play a game. Consider Indiana. By any measure, going into this year they would have been placed in the BTen 'Champions' division -- indicating...

Exactly. At this time last year, 3-4 fan bases in the West Division were still rooting for their team to win a division title. Increased fan interest = increased passion and support for the programs. Same thing would have been true this year. Getting rid of divisions was a dumb decision by...

If you squint a little while watching Iowa games this year, you almost could believe you're watching last year's team.

The BTen opener with NWestern will tell us a little about whether this year's squad can hold up on the inside.

This. I would just add this will be the most important transfer portal/NIL season for the Hawks to date. Two years ago getting McNamara and TE All from Michigan in the portal was huge from a perception standpoint, although they ended up being minimal in impact. Last year the main priority...

I agree with everything you say about being interested in who comes back, and news from the transfer portal. But the regular season doesn't end until Nov. 29 and the transfer portal doesn't open until Dec. 9. What Rob was talking about in his article was players starting to sit out the next two...

This, bigtime. #4 hasn't gotten the attention it deserves. Parker isn't doing anything differently this year than past years, but the difference is the offensive teams and players we played this year and will play in future years are getting better. West Division QBs for years haven't been...

"It's not about putting the best product on the field for your paying fans, either. Most of them would love to learn about who they may be rooting for next year." Uh, NO. Surely you must be joking. The 'love to learn about who they may be rooting for next year' shows me your vision is blurred...

UCLA held Penn St. to 85 yds rushing. From an offensive perspective, this game is much more likely to look like the game vs Sparty than the Badgers. Versus MSU, the Hawks scored 20, and left a lot on the field in the 1st half with horrible throws by Mac & terrible play-calling by Lester...

If Vandy had an 8-1 record (and Alabama a 6-3 record) with a win over the Tide, then duh, yeah.

That would be strictly a matter of subjective opinion, whether it be by me, you, or a programmed computer. On the other hand, an objective game has already been played between the two teams, with an objective timekeeper and referees. The result of the game is a proven fact. Until next season...

I really don't understand why Kaleb Johnson isn't getting more Heisman talk. Last I looked a couple weeks ago he wasn't even in the Top 15 being considered, and at that time he had better stats than the two previous running backs who last WON the Heisman, at the same point in their seasons. I'm...

Objectively, Iowa State went on the road and beat Iowa head-to-head. Jesu...

The problem is (was) that coaches had been saying for at least 3 weeks prior to Mac getting hurt that they were planning to play Sully a few meaningful series in each of those games...then never did. Lester even castigated himself after one of those games publicly, saying he needed to be more...

Agreed. Was really disappointed when the BTen dropped their assocation with the Holiday Bowl in San Diego. That was a great winter destination, gave us opponents outside the SEC..instead we get they added the Pinstripe Bowl in NYC in winter. Smart.

Ferentz vs Coach Prime at a bowl game would be hilarious!

Yeah, this game is likely to be tougher than most Iowa fans realize. I don't know that I've ever seen a team improve as much from Week 1 until this point in the season. UCLA's first game vs Hawaii was like watching a comedy show. Their WRs were repeatedly going the wrong way, the QB was making...
