It's fascinating in hindsight that Wadley's only other offer was from Temple. When he was offered by and then committed to Temple in January 2013, the Owls were in their first month under new coach Matt Rhule. They went on to win 20 games in 15 and 16 (Rhule's 3rd and 4th years and what would...

Week 1: Nebraska Week 2: Louisville Week 3: Houston Week 4: Virginia Tech Week 5: San Diego State

Technically, if there had been 8 concurrent unsportsmanlike penalties, Penn State would have been snapping from inside their own 3 yard line on the PAT. A safety there would have given Iowa 2 points and an shot at OT Given PSU's bizarre shotgun-style kneel down...

Unconventional smallball/spread lineup-- Andre Wooldridge Ronnie Lester Fred Brown Chris Kingsbury Reggie Evans Spread the floor, run like crazy, shoot tons of 3s, and let Reggie grab the boards and do all the dirty work.

Here are the tiebreaker rules I've used here on HN in the past. 1. If every remaining contestant loses during any given week, the eligible contestants from that week will be reinstated the following week. The following week the contestants will resume the contest and be able to choose teams...

According to VegasInsider.com, the current consensus line is Penn State -12.5. According to TeamRankings.com, in college football, 12.5 point underdogs (closing line) have won outright 30.2% of the time since 2003.

Week 1: Nebraska Week 2: Louisville Week 3: Houston Week 4: Virginia Tech

The thing that probably hurts ISU the most is that of the four games they have with the other teams who are with ISU as the five worst teams in the Big 12 (in my estimation and according to multiple computer rankings, that's WVU, TT, Baylor, and Kansas), three of those four games are on the...

UNI--W Iowa--L at Akron--W Texas--L at Oklahoma--L Kansas--W at TT--L (Texas Tech will score big at home against ISU's D) TCU--L at West Virginia--L Oklahoma State--L at Baylor--L (By late November, Baylor will be a much better team than they are today. HFA gives Baylor the tight win) at Kansas...

In 2016, you could have survived 7 weeks with an order something like this-- Week 1: Houston Week 2: Pittsburgh Week 3: Memphis Week 4: Louisville Week 5: Miami Week 6: Boise State Week 7: Clemson

I didn't necessarily mean my specific set of picks. Just thinking out loud based on picking two city schools in a row.

Week 1: Nebraska Week 2: Louisville Week 3: Houston (An interesting way to play this game would be to pick only schools with names of cities in their names. Would be a fun challenge to see how far you could get.)

If your game was cancelled, pick two teams for week 3.

Week 1: Nebraska Week 2: Louisville

The joke is that you can't pick Iowa next week because their Week 2 opponent isn't an FBS team. Their week 2 opponent is Iowa State. It's a jab at Iowa State.

Week 1: Nebraska

I didn't see anyone doing this on here yet, so I thought I would get it started. In case you haven't done a survival pool (also known as "Suicide Pool") before, here are the rules: -Pick a team you think will win this week. For the purposes of this pool Labor Day will be the final day of week...

The 2002 Hawkeyes featured two of the most dynamic, talented running backs of the Ferentz era in Fred Russell and Jermelle Lewis. The pair combined for just under 2000 yards that year and just under 4000 yards for their combined careers. Even though Iowa had that dynamic duo, neither of them...

I'm probably biased against Harmon because I never saw him play. Most of what I heard about him anecdotally from family growing up was that he was paid to throw the Rose Bowl and cost the Hawkeyes a shot at a national title. It can be hard to separate reality from people's emotions. That...

Back in 2014, I did a countdown of the 30 greatest Hawkeyes of all time. Marvin McNutt is the most recent player on this list, and I think you could make a great argument for Brandon Scherff and Desmond King among players from the past 5 years. Here's a break down of the eras: Pre-1950: 6...
