Why, when Ryan Hoag, the guy in the slick suit comes on, do I feel like I am sitting on the city council somewhere and he is going to try and pitch me on giving him a liquor license for his strip club? Or sell me shares in a time share? I would be amazed this video brought in any business with...

Great post. Thanks for putting in the effort.

I know what you mean, but some kids want to play. Consider how much playing time he will get at Alabama, versus at Iowa. Is he good enough to be a 4 year starter at Iowa? Maybe after a RS year. Doubtful at Alabama. Other young men want to play against and with the best, and don't care about...

Fox Sports will really need to upgrade their quality of, well, everything. From picture quality, to audio, and announcers. Getting good games is one step, but they have a ways to go to not repeat their Bowl experience.

So, if Bruin fans are already upset with the AD for "Sucking the life out of the program", you have to wonder how much of a safety net Alford has with an AD who may very well be on a hot seat. Maybe Alford should have checked out Dan Guerrero to see if he is going to be around to protect him the...

Talk radio in Nebraska had a caller who mentioned Miles as a possibility for Minnesota for some unknown reason, and now people on here are mentioning Fran. Aren't coaching changes inside the same conference rare? I am sure there must be some, but what are they? I could see an assistant coach...

The problem Fox Sports has is their top level organization is poorly organized. They need someone at the top who will make the decisions then stop micro managing. If they follow the BTN model, they may eventually have some success. If they follow the Fox Sports Regional model, they are screwed...

There used to be a sign along Hiway 30 in Westside, in Crawford County, I believe, that read, "This may be Cyclone country, but it is still a Hawkeye State." At least that is how I remember the wording. Towards the western end of Iowa, and here in Nebraska, I see a lot more Hawkeye apparel than...

ESPN has said they will not air the game because of their other commitments. BTN was trying to find a way, but as of yet has not. Keep in mind, Iowa State, Creighton, Kansas St, Missouri, & Minnesota all play at home on Saturday. There are NO Network quality trucks in Iowa, Kansas or Nebraska...

I'm hearing it is postponed to Saturday with no TV coverage.

Makes you wonder if it will be televised? I doubt ESPN has an open slot on Saturday. BTN probably doesn't either. And trying to put a crew together at this late notice, plus all the travel arrangements, knowing full well there may be a few flights canceled in the next couple of days. Ahh, the...

Re: Of all the winnable games left on the schedule, the one Thursday scares me the mo After seeing Nebraska hang in there with the big boys, I am a little concerned with which Iowa team shows up. If it is the one against PSU, Nebraska has a shot. If it is the one from the last 30 minutes Sunday...

Doclee, I usually forget about mentioning Valentino's as we have it catered so often we get a bit tired of it. The sauce is a bit sweet for my taste, but I know many who swear it to be the best around. They do offer a huge buffet, which was good when we had three growing boys around the house...

Could be a problem with ESPN getting the truck and crew into Lincoln for the game. Not sure where the truck is coming from, but apparently it is busy on Wednesday. And while some of the crew is local, about half are not, with some of them needing to fly in on Thursday.

Since both Nebraska and Iowa have an open weekend, there is talk of moving the game from Thursday to Saturday. Not sure if ESPN would still be interested or not. Would probably be a bigger Iowa crowd if it were on Saturday. Should know by the end of today.

The Devaney Center is located on the old State Fairgrounds, which has been leveled so parking should not be a problem. (As long as they can get the snow moved.) Seriously, check the weather before you come over. It may be fine, but I saw where Jim Cantore said he would be in Lincoln, Omaha or...

Can't have the Everly Cattle Feeders without having the Cattle Feederettes. Some classic basketball teams, but oh what a name.

Find that kid in the bibs and take his ticket away.

Don't get down on Dobhawk too hard. He is, after all, stuck in Nebraska, like me, where all he hears is how Bo should be fired ... and that is after a 10 - 3 season. Of course, this all comes after all the trash talk about how bad Iowa was this year ... (Yeah, we get it ... we know they were...
