I thought the B1G was instituting a no FCS opponent rule sometime soon? Or did I miss something?

That is a strategy sometimes used. The problem is that if a player dodges, there is zero chance to recover, as the ball has to hit the ground first before the kicking team can recover.

Offsides is only an issue if a kicking team player advances ahead of the ball prior to the ball being kicked. In this case, they absolutely could AND should have moved in front to block. If you look at other onside kick formations, you will often see the first members of the kicking team...

Browns talk Tyler Wiegers into early entry. They get a young career-long backup to trot out as their new bestest ever franchise QB. Until next year.

That's why me + explosives are on the no-no list. Edit: Enter Joshbrown to tell me that I'm a delicate snowflake. As previously mentioned, he can bite me.

Oh of course, and I consistently try to expand what I feel comfortable working on. I moved into my brother's house a few years back for a bit to help him remodel his basement. The whole process would have taken about 15 grand if contracted out. I did it for room/board and took maybe 4-5 grand...

There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with a vocational education. I admit it, I don't know how to work on my car, and I can only do limited electrical work in my house. I should NEVER be allowed to do any real plumbing work. I need people who know how to do these things and do it well. And...

And furthermore, STAY OFF HIS LAWN! Kids these days have no respect for their elders or their contributions. WE FOUGHT THE NAZIS, DAMMIT!!! Can it. Refusing to look at causal factors when examining societal problems is the real problem. Just because it worked for you in a bygone era doesn't...

This is something that way too many people overlook. If you look back at the history of the nuclear family (or even extended family) in the United States and globally, the "Greatest Generation" were the first generation to not come back home to live with family/parents. This was in large part...

The Big Championship proved that how?

Then quit watching if you're not entertained. But don't pretend to know a damned thing about me personally or intellectually.

The problem is that when you have coaches that have as long of a tenure as Fry and Ferentz, it's really difficult to compare schedules. For a good chunk of his tenure, Fry was in a system where you could have a tie as a result, meaning that you couldn't really play those close games the same...

I thought I'd seen it all... but here we are, not just bashing KF for not being Hayden Fry, but ALSO suggesting he'd be worse than Commings?

Sandusky wasn't the coach. Let's not let our (well-placed) anger distort the facts.

I wonder how well the AP/Coaches/Computer predict the CFP rankings. I don't have that data available right now to check it.

Maybe not, but it would mean that Iowa would be the highest ranked 5-loss team. And frankly, looking at the teams below them in the Massey ratings (26th at this point, not sure where OP got their number) I'm not sure what 4 loss team behind them I'd move up.

Am I?

You want to know why you're a troll, even in the few instances where you say something correct? This is why. You assume that everybody who disagrees with you hates Iowa. You can hide behind saying it's just hyperbole or sarcasm or irony. But it's not. You're just a sad human being who...

Teams lower than Iowa in total offense: School Record SOS Ball State (2-9) 94th Vandy (4-6) 48th FSU (3-6) 1st BYU (3-8) 68th SJSU (1-10) 88th...

It is absolutely cherry-picking when you choose to look at one statistic (let's say, yards allowed defensively) and you absolutely ignore another that contradicts it (like scoring defense). Nobody asked you for detailed splits, so just let that straw-man go ahead and die. What is relevant is...
