    Would it have killed them to review that play?

    Wasn't it actually better for Iowa (speaking strictly in terms of winning the game) that he was called down at the one? If we score we have to kick off and there is always some chance they score and can try an onside kick. A very small chance of course, but probably greater than the odds of us...

    the good news for Bears fans

    Walking through O'hare on Monday morning, it was fun to look at the headlines of the local papers to see how their obligatory puns compared: "Snow Contest," "Blown Away," "Winter Blunderland," "Brrrutal."

    Big Ten logo

    Not a fan of the division names, trying too hard to sound prestigious, I think. The logo is okay, but not great. It actually makes me feel a little bit better about my attempt I posted last summer (not claiming mine's better, just that the fancy design firm didn't hit a home run either):

    I thought ISU lost to Nebraska

    I'm all for ripping on ISU fans, but this entire thread seems to be based on the idea that they stormed the field Saturday, which didn't happen.

    Notre Dame manager dies

    Not only are the facebook post rumors apparently legit, the team also kept practicing for 20-30 min after it happened? That makes me sick. Notre Dame student from Long Grove killed in campus filming accident - chicagotribune.com

    The Race for the Roses

    Hawkeyescott: Thanks. I follow you on Wisconsin.. They just simply need MSU to lose twice. I must have been thinking they had the IA/MSU/WI tiebreaker, but that would go to MSU (as I stated at the end of my post). I'm failing to see what was wrong with my OSU line however... they won't have a...

    The Race for the Roses

    Trying to figure out how much help each of the conference's top four need to capture the Big Ten's automatic BCS bid (and probably a trip to the Rose Bowl)... is this correct? Mich St: Win Out. Wisconsin: Win out + 1 loss for Mich state + 1 loss for Ohio state (both at Iowa most likely) OR 2...

    Do we want MSU or UM to win next week?

    Maybe this is a dumb question, but considering that the IA/MICH game is an ABC regional broadcast (ESPN for rest), could the result of MICH/MSU Saturday affect how much of the country gets the game on ABC? (Or are the regional boundaries already set by that point?)

    Kinnick was absolutely awesome tonight

    Glad to hear they aired some good shots of the pride stripes. From inside Kinnick it was absolutely spectacular. Very proud to be an Iowa fan right now, not only did people show up in the correct color, they cheered their a$$es off! The crowd was absolutely a factor tonight and it was wonderful...

    Any current band members on here?

    I have a better idea, let's just get them to announce over the loudspeakers that the opponent "has entered the CaseIH Safety Zone!"

    Deep Reflections of an Iowa Fan

    First off, Saturday's loss SUCKED. I was more devastated by it than is healthy, but I've finally moved into the acceptance stage, so in the spirit of healing: "You can't keep blaming somebody else for your dysfunction. Life is really about moving on." —Oprah Winfrey Yes, there are a million...

    Game time vs Ohio State

    Adam Rittenberg regarding the BT night game rule: "The Big Ten has a contractual provision with its teams and its TV partners regarding night games played after Nov. 1. Unless both teams and the TV partner agree to play a night game and do it far enough in advance -- the prime-time football...

    DJK T Shirts

    All the shirts that were paid for have been shipped. The post office was closed Sunday and yesterday (which skipped my mind), so they all got sent out today. They were all sent first class/priority mail so they should all arrive this week (most will probably be there tomorrow or Thursday)...

    Reverse, Reverse...

    Cha Cha now ya’ll. I wondered during the game why we would run back to back reverses against an opponent like EIU with the game well in hand. It was fun, but a little out of character. Why show that in a game where we are pretty much keeping the playbook under wraps? To set up a McNutt WR...

    Where to Tailgate this Saturday

    If I were rolling into town that late, I'd park in the lot Hawkeyestate is talking about and then if you want rowdiness hit up the Myrtle lot on your way to Kinnick.

    Are you ready

    For me marching bands are kind of like the WNBA. In both cases I admire the incredible amount of work the participants put in, and I support funding both, despite the cost, because I think they are positive programs to have in existence. Unfortunately, if I watch either for more than 6...

    Will Iowa Have...

    As others have said, I think if Hampton stays healthy he will go for over 1000 and probably get > 60% of the carries.

    Who's the best HS athlete you've seen in person?

    Are you talking about Kris Dougherty from Iowa Valley by any chance? Oh and to answer the question... Ricky Davis for me.
