    Official "Iowa Hawkeyes vs. UGDR" (Under Ground Dwelling Rodents) Thread

    Exactly how I saw it except I see the clowns didn't make your list. Knocked off #25 on the road. A great day for Iowa and America...

    IowaLaw's 1st Quarter Report Card

    I go w/ a "C" here. Before Saturday's game I was in the B+ column but the two turnovers on punting dropped it overall by a grade point. The B+ I was leaning to is because Recinos has missed some very makable field goals. The fact that there haven't been any big returns against the hawks is very...

    Schwartz: Game of the Season is Upon Us

    The FCS (1-AA) interestingly enough started w/ a 4 game tournament in the year of their inception, doubled it to an 8 game tourney three years later and then 12 teams in the fourth year. Eight years in (1986) the went to a 16 team tournament. They have worked their way up to 24 teams now, but...

    Hurricane Flo Thread

    Eye wall is collapsing as of 10:30 PM Wednesday. Hurricane Hunter aircraft in the storm report that the eyewall now wraps less than 50% of the center. All that water and wind energy is going to spread out. Florence is no longer at major hurricane intensity. If it really stalls just off shore...

    Iowa WRs

    Being "off" on some throws in the first game isn't what has me worried. Making very poor decisions about who to target is much more concerning. His stats last year were the result of him making good decisions. Also his inaccuracy last year was a tendency to overthrow the deep ball which, on...

    Iowalaw's Postgame Report: Northern Ilinois

    :) Sure looks that way. He puts himself in position to catch the ball and then runs. Reminded me of the 2009 unit. I liked it when they moved Hesse inside so we had Anthony Nelson, Matt Nelson, Parker Hesse, and AJ Esponesa on some of the third downs. Relentless pass rush. Thinking about it...

    Sagarin: Iowa #17

    So Michigan is better w/o OSU and Iowa is worse w/o OSU. This proves what? We can't ignore that game and Sagarin's algorithm doesn't either. Iowa scored more than 30 points 5 times in 2017. Three of those teams ended up w/ winning records (one of them wasn't a P5 school). Iowa only lost one game...

    Sagarin: Iowa #17

    Against common opponents in 2017 Michigan scored 111 and the opponents scored 131. Against those common opponents Iowa scored 130 and the opponents scored 134. My take would be Iowa's offense was a little better and Michigan's defense was slightly better. I would love to see Iowa in the CCG...

    Jon did NOT destroy the Iowa QB regression story

    I've never said there was a QB "regression" because there really hasn't been one. The stat I always point out is that every QB of the Ferentz era had the most wins, for a variety of reasons, in the season he earned the starting spot outright. Stanzi was a much better QB in 2010 if you don't...

    Rewatched the Iowa vs OSU Game

    High Five! I would say one of the top games of the Ferentz era.

    Rewatched the Iowa vs OSU Game

    I've re-watched that game maybe 10 times and my take is that one of the RBs is going to need to step up to the plate this year. We are going to miss AW. The guy played like the game rested on his shoulders - this one and against the Clones in particular - and he was a force to be reckoned with...

    North Endzone Construction

    Don't expect a huge increase in peak volume levels - if any - as the stadium remodel is going to change things mostly in the time domain. What you can expect is a longer reverberation time (and a general degradation of vocal intelligibility) due to the increase in "slap" echoes. This was...

    Planets

    Yes at perihelic opposition but the view isn't that great right now as a Martian global dust storm has been raging for weeks. It's dissipating now but not much contrast or fine detail visible. I feel like I have been ripped off - I have one, maybe two perihelic oppositions left (one every15...
