    Did he drop the ball?

    From Row 15 at Kinnick on Saturday I noticed that and wondered the same thing. Surprised they didn't at least take a look at it on video. After Coop's punt return TD negation last year, can you imagine the crowd reaction at Kinnick if this TD would have been discounted?!

    Couldn't be worse???

    Just saw the final few minutes of the ISU game. Campbell did not look pleased.

    Thursday and Friday Night CFB Games

    I thought Sanders was very raw last year: couldn't find secondary receivers, held onto the ball WAY too long, etc. Last night was a different story: threw every type of ball -- short, medium, long, short touch passes, sideline-to-sideline, under pressure -- just a stunning display of accuracy...

    The health of the people in our country

    This. Well said. If there was no danger in giving young infants multiple vaccines, there wouldn't be waivers that parents have to sign prior to the infant receiving the dose...and there are waivers that need to be signed, because there are potential side effects. Rare, but possible. With both...

    Kinnick 2024 gameday "experience"

    I'm sympathetic to folks with various conditions, but I have to wonder why anyone who is sensitive to stimuli would choose to go someplace where there are 70,000 people, loud music, and cheering crowds.

    2024 Season Predictions

    Agree that Penn St. will tie for 2nd in the BTen. Not sure whether they'll tie with OSU or the Ducks, however.

    Depth chart for week 1

    Oh I think yes, absolutely. I look for Moulton to get the most carries -- i.e. run up the middle and off tackle, because he can apparently read the creases and get positive yards. I look for Kaleb to be the guy catching swing passes out of the backfield -- can you imagine a LB trying to keep...

    Column: Offense Remains Work in Progress

    I hear what you're saying, but it's not like McNamara has been sitting eating bon bons all spring and summer. He's been throwing in 7-on-7 drills for awhile now. Simple out patterns require no mental sharpness and should be the FIRST thing to return as far as muscle memory. I'm guessing he's...

    Column: Offense Remains Work in Progress

    After watching raw footage of all 3 QBs on Saturday, on that day I would rank them: 1) Sullivan 2) Lainez 3) McNamara Coaches keep saying McNamara hasn't seen much live action, and hasn't played in X number of years -- which just isn't true -- especially when compared to Lainez. Cade started 4...

    Olympics Thread - You Interested?

    I get bored with swimming pretty easily, more interested in the track & field events. Yeah, the individual table tennis and badminton are pretty crazy. The 'olympic sport' that isn't a 'sport' to me are the equestrian events which involve horses. I mean, if you're going there, why not dog...

    Spencer Lee Captures Olympic Silver

    One of the things I really dislike about freestyle wrestling is the 'push out' rule. In his gold medal match, Lee pushes the guy out twice in the 1st period and gets 2 pts. He pushes the guy out 3 x in the 2nd period and get zero points -- because in the 2nd period the guy is on his knees...

    your lense

    A good number of my neighbors don't share my political or world view, but we're friends. Same with my in-laws. But I'll never be CLOSE friends with them, because public policy and politics is my passion and life's work that I care about deeply. When I meet someone for the first time...

    19/66

    Yeah, I saw that from Staley a couple days ago. I don't believe her for a minute. They couldn't have selected CC without taking Angel Reese, and there's no way that selection committee and coach (even tho the coach isn't on the committee and isn't supposed to have significant input into the...

    Kirk Ferentz Talks Offense in Indy

    What I expect from Iowa's 'new' offense: lots of pre-snap motion, lots of the same running plays, more passes in the flat to RBs to get them vs LBers in space. Nothing flashy, nothing dramatically different. There's really no rational reason to expect anything else.

    PROJECT 2025

    Re "Expanding states rights as it applies to healthcare": in the United States of America, why in God's name should my ability to access decent health care depend on the state I by chance happened to be born in?

    Media picks Iowa to finish 5th in Big10

    One thing for sure: with so many returning starters and a manageable schedule, this is the year to make it happen.

    Right...Top 20 is a long way from Top 12.

    CC and the Olympics

    That was certainly NOT your average 'All Star' game last night. It's a great concept to have the players chosen for the Olympic team compete against players who got snubbed and left off the team. The 'WNBA' team clearly is gonna play their asses off to show what they can do vs so-called...
