    Beer

    For a good local brew around central IL, Gold Top from Reisch Brewing in Springfield is very good. https://reischcharities.org/ I like it better than Yuengling lager, which is also very tasty.

    Off-topic, but good for a chuckle...

    That tornado went right overhead of our apartment building. Vaporized the house behind us, skipped over our building after lifting off the roof and setting it back down, then went all Middle-East war zone across the street. Very surreal feeling immediately afterwards. Yes Wacho high as my...

    Cooper DeJean Ready for Bigger Role in '22

    Wonder how his speed compares to Tim Dwight? From what people have been talking about with Cooper with the WR room a bit thin with injuries, I'd like to see him get some snaps @ WR.

    Ranking Iowa Football Coaches over past 60 years

    For turning around the program and creating a tradition of winning again at Iowa, it's Fry hands down as number one. But I remember his last game @ Minny, where it seemed like the players just quit on him. Although I know that being thin-skinned to criticism is a common trait among coaches, you...

    Charlie Jones on Why He Left for Purdue

    Especially with Nico being injured, it's time to see what the youngsters can do. Best of luck in your future Charlie, except of course against Iowa.

    QB improvement needed

    With the move to super-conferences, conference titles in football to teams like Iowa will become much like titles in basketball, in that it's seen as more satisfying to many fans to finish in the top third of the conference. An outright B1G championship will require a perfect storm for a team...

    Nico Ragaini Ready for Final Ride at Iowa

    He can catch it, just needs to hold onto it.

    Your Bold Predictions for 2022

    I can see the running game taking some of the pressure off Petras to be the one to win the game. But even if we have a fairly healthy team from beginning to end a repeat of last year will be tough. I think we split between Mich and tOSU, with the usual suspects being a crap shoot, as in Purdue...

    Good Bye Olivia....

    Lots of fans in my circle of friends even without her work in Grease.

    All Things Wings Thread

    The best wings I can remember was at a place in Strawberry Point that's no longer there. Back Home Country Cooking had great naked wings with a good variety of dipping sauces just the way I like wings. Salt and peppered and cooked good and tender. After that place closed I haven't had anything...

    Best Part Of The Media Rights Package You Hadn't Thought Of

    LOL..........triggered, got it.

    Streaming live tv

    YouTube TV works very well, especially in the fall. Unlimited online DVR space as well so you can catch up on all the games you can't see live.

    Your Bold Predictions for 2022

    I see 8-4 with the low water mark. Losses to OSU, Purdue, Nebby, and Wisky. Turn out even an average offense with the normally great D and 10 regular season wins is possible. Cooper Dejean will be everything Charlie Jones was and more, just on special teams.

    Northwest Triangle of Hate

    The Nebraska game was ok for a bit, but they really belong back in the Big 12. Minny and Wisky for protected rivalries with maybe Illinois and jNW rotating every other year.

    Seriously, How The F Is Joey Chestnut Not Like 650lbs!

    As tough as the human body can be, this binging and purging can be dangerous. Bulimics have a good chance of rupturing their esophageal lining. Once that happens it's lights out. With an aneurysm you might have a fighting chance. With a ruptured esophagus, not so much.

    B1G Media Day Thoughts

    Too many who attempt to coach think they can be the next Mike Ditka or George Allen. Doesn't work that way at all, and certainly not today.

    B1G going to talk revenue sharing with players?

    Well, this and Penn State, but yeah.
