Just setting tendencies for the future... I mean when you see Stanley in there on fourth down is he going to kick or go for it?

For the most part that is accurate. What is unusual is that the game plan followed the action on the field. When something didn't work, they stopped trying it. When something worked, they "scratched where it itched" so to speak. When something almost worked, but wasn't executed, they went back...

Thought pretty much the same thing. First the resume building theory and, if they can't pull that off, then the "plan B expand the playoff" theory. Both are spot on. All I can say is "go Hawks!" and KF for B!G commish....

Not out of the realms of possibility is an Iowa - Iowa State rematch in a bowl game. Depending on how things go we could be looking at a couple teams w/ similar records. Iowa likely drops two of the remaining four as does Iowa State. Don't know how bowl committees feel about rematches but a B!G...

I think it is starting to sink in over there... Quoting a Husker fan posting over @ espn: "We are now the kind of team the other teams schedule for their homecoming." - Absolutely priceless!

All Iowa has to do is win out and Wisconsin needs to drop a game, any game. Iowa then owns the head to head and off to Indy they go. Possible? Yes, likely? No. We are looking at an inexperienced, but talented, team. Can they capitalize on the experience gained thus far? The coaches should use...

I said it before and this seems to make the point - this team feels a lot like the 2009 version. Different strengths and weaknesses, and not as polished, to be sure but they seemingly don't show up until about half way through the 3rd quarter. I think numbers 2 and 3 above may be the factors at...

Complications caused by Prostate cancer took by father's life. He made it to 90 but the last couple years were rough. Take the Bull by the horns Gary! Early aggressive treatment is the way to go. That aside it looks like we now have a female AD, at least temporarily, in Barbara Burke. I thought...

We are not Wisconsin because Wisconsin has Barry Alvarez and Iowa has Gary Barta. It starts at the top.

Of course I do. I want them to win the National Championship every year. Of course you can't always get what you want...

Su Superior depth on the D-line is keeping us in games this season. Of course they do show fatigue when playing nearly 100 defensive snaps. Jewel is a force and Jackson will be the next great Iowa corner. The 2004 defense was loaded w/ future NFL players. Very good against the run and tough in...

To bad Butler is hurt. After his run down, strip and recovery to mitigate that fumble I am beginning to think he missed his calling.

That has been Whisky's and Sparty's M.O. in years past. Wait until the 4th quarter and then some freshman RB you have never (or barely) heard of before comes in and torches the tired defense.

Got to agree. What was Sean Welsh thinking? Play to the whistle is a pretty fundamental concept.

This team feels like the 2009 edition - it's just the position groups are at different levels of development. They come from behind and they seem to thrive on long drives. The winning attitude is there. They make plays when they have too. And they are not getting much respect. Today felt a lot...

Hope we do ;)

I felt like I was watching an alternate universe football game where tackling the guy w/ the football was the wrong thing to do! Unbelievable penalty calling and I watched the Illinois game last night!

Don't know, I like the blackout but why not go w/ a more traditional alternate uniform and the blackout-

Dorsey, Epstein and Smalling all looked promising and are all freshman. Dudek looked sharp too - is back from some nasty ACL tears. Epstein is fast - reminds me of Canzeri as he can run and catch. Dorsey looks like B!G TE in the making. Give these guys a couple years and Lovie will have something.

16-2 mid way through 2nd and still have 45 yds of O.... Literally a flag on every play now
