I have a friend that has been convinced there is a distopian future coming for as long as I have known him. To the point where he almost seems to be rooting for society to collapse just so his prediction comes true.
I also find it bizarre that the ones that seem to be convinced that a...
Interesting choice. I assume the game will be on national TV due to JuJu Watkins coming to town.
Edit: oh duh, I am a little slow. The date was probably chosen because it's February 2nd, or 2-2, which of course is Clark's number, 22.
You must be talking about Jon Beutjer. Went to high school in Wheaton
Unless you mean Tim Lester? He also went to high school in Wheaton..
Although Lester technically was a college QB at WMU before coming to Iowa as a coach.
I could be wrong but I think they are both on active rosters right now. CJB just got picked up by Jacksonville again after Trevor Lawernce went out with a season ending injury. I think CJB is 2nd string behind Mac Jones.
Along with getting rid of the byes for conference champions I would like to change the brackets so that more emphasis is placed avoiding rematches and avoiding inner-conference matches in the first 2 rounds .
Just pick seeds in groups of 4.
The four #1 seeds would get first round byes.

The high number of turnovers made Iowa look just awful.
Yes, Iowa had issues handling the press while the lady volunteers being were overly aggressive with (mugging?) the Iowa players as they brought the ball upcourt, but that was only half the problem.
Jan Jenson kept telling the girls to...

Yeah, 2025 could be rough. Looks like 5-7 to me.
Yes, but occasionally you still have that Saquon Barkley type that gets drafted high in the first round, although I admit Barkley is an exception.
Kaleb Johnson has that unique combo of being both a big back and also super fast. Although he has not been totally injury free, so that might hurt...
I was thinking the same thing. How does Drew Ott feel about all of these players getting 6 or 7 years?
If Ott wanted to, they should let Ott come back to Iowa to play a 5th year.
I wonder what made Kaleb change his mind so quickly after the Nebraska game. When talking to reporters right after the game, Kaleb was saying he wanted to play in the bowl game.
He must have been told he is a lock for a 1st round draft choice if he does not get hurt.
I think there were some subtle changes to this in 2024.
The CFP has expanded to 12 teams. The Orange Bowl no longer has a tie to the ACC. The orange bowl will be a CFP semifinal this season.
The Outback bowl is now called the Reliaquest Bowl and no longer has a clause involving the ACC
Even...
That is a meaningless record that nobody will pay attention to, and Kirk knows this.
It's not the record for most Big Ten conference games won. Kirk is not even close to #1 for that one.
Nor is it the most overall wins by a head coach that once coached in the Big Ten. That belongs to Joe...

The first offer should go to Phil Parker. People claim he doesn't want it, fine, he can turn it down if he wants. People say he is too old. Did you just see what 63-year old first year coach Curt Cignetti just did? Parker would make a great head coach if he wants the job.
