Agree. Wasn't ASU something like 17th in the country before they "knocked off" Iowa State and got an automatic bye?

I know this will probably change with the next round of the playoff games, but these lower tier bowls are MUCH more fun to watch. Multiple overtime games, thrice!!!

I'm worried about: 1. Climate change (and climate migration)... things can and will get weird in the next 25-50 years. People have been moving to Florida, Texas, Arizona, and California for decades. I think that will change a lot in the coming decades. On a global scale, this migration may...

Great post. I also wonder what the Athletic Department can do to help Fran with this issue. It seems that there are a lot of opportunities to step out of the 1990's in terms of fan experience. Having the students at courtside is a good start.

Agree. I wish this was an area that our politicians would allow NIH to study, but they can't currently, for political reasons. I'd like to point out that we agree on something!! :)

Yes, Tate was awesome! I also am a bit partial to Brad Banks, heisman runner up.

Let me clarify if for you. People who can inform policy decisions who also have a vested interest (financially) in those decisions, need to have a high level of scrutiny. No shit. I find it comical that folks are jumping on RFK's bandwagon, saying the entire research and medical...

I agree with several of these points, and understand the health care system better than 99% of people. Having said that, some of her stuff is a little out there, and she has a profit motive for her businesses (as does her brother). She's also selling products and books.

I love the hawks, and love my home state (well most of it, anyway). Having said that, a lot of folks in Iowa are waaay too serious about the Hawks, and are hyper-critical about very minor issues. Iowa is really very insular and provincial, in my opinion. I think that there would be lot of...

This. A public good (health care) cannot be treated like computer chips or oil. These publicly traded health insurance companies have misaligned incentives. Their ultimate duty is to the shareholders and their corporate overloads, NOT PATIENTS. We get what we get in a system like this...

Your post is incredibly logical, and is therefore probably unpopular on HN. I agree that at times, it's been tough to watch these games, but I love the wins. We looked rather dreadful against Nebby, for example. We won that game. I'd rather look terrible and win than flashy and give up 28...

Amen, brother.

When there is a massive profit motive in health insurance, bad people will do bad things. Insurance companies generally don't provide health care, but they dictate what health care is provided in many cases. And these folks take a nice chunk of cash to manage all of this. We're always...

I feel ok about it. Get all four rivalry trophies next year and cash in his chips. Overall, it's been a hell of a run, and the next coach will be unlikely to have this level of success. I'm sure Nebby and Minny fans will be thrilled to see him go.

I'm afraid we'll come up a little short.

I was attempting to read your post in a discreet manner while attending a Zoom meeting. My outburst of laughter really gave me away. Thanks a lot! Seriously funny.

Based on decades of data, I'm about zero percent confident. I HOPE Iowa can have decent QB play (with Sully, maybe?) in the next year, but the recruiting level at Iowa for these skill positions is really rough. Iowa generally recruits in the #30-50 range (team rankings) but even that is based...

That was delightful.

I used to drive by that area near Tama regularly on the way to IC.

Thanks. That's pretty much why I was asking. It would be great to get a reasonably decent quarterback. I hope Sully is solid.
