Here are a couple interesting tidbits related to Butler's decision to transfer and decision to pick Iowa-- 1. According to the Reno Gazette-Journal, Butler missed much of Spring Practice this year. You have to imagine that put him behind the curve quite a bit in terms of learning Nevada's new...

Hometown: Ankeny, Iowa Graduating Class: 400-450 Population: About 20K when I moved there, about 30K when I moved to college, almost 60K now Ankeny was really starting to grow a lot during my childhood years, but it's stunning to see the changes each time I go back. In my (stuck in 1997) mind...

That article sums up why I quit spending so much time thinking about and reading about recruiting a couple years ago. As much fun as following recruiting can be at times, the decommitments, the injuries, and the tragedies just wore on me as a fan over the long-term.

I hate to play the "what if" game, but there's a big part of the Hawkeye fan in me that wishes his 30 carries in 2013 had gone somewhere else and that he was going to be back on the Hawkeyes in '17. He's the new AJ Edds on that particular issue.

Things I think KF will look for if he has to hire a new OC: -Experience in a balanced, but run-first, offense. -Experience as a QB coach (this was KOK's and GD's position responsibility) -College coordinator or head coach experience -A guy who will be relatively traditional in style -A guy who...

This is correct. TBA picked WM in week 10. If DDThompson picks WM this week and they beat Buffalo (they're favored by 34), DDThompson is the champion.

With the field and the undefeateds dwindling, it seems appropriate at this time to go over the tiebreaker rules: 1. If every remaining contestant loses during any given week, the eligible contestants from that week will be reinstated the following week. The following week the contestants will...

I took last year off, so I'm not sure who won last year.

I have a bad feeling about this one. Something hasn't been right with CJB since he got hit hard and went out against NDSU. With MVB out now, I think the offense will sputter. Northwestern will do just enough to beat a team that they shouldn't, and it'll be a tough loss for the Hawkeyes. It'll...

I guess when you roll the dice on Indiana football, you don't really have anyone to blame but yourself. UGH It's a fun game so far. 38 left after four weeks is about average for a group our size. There haven't been many stunning upsets yet this year, and that's what usually kills folks.

Week 1: Louisville Week 2: Cincinnati Week 3: Arizona State Week 4: Indiana

FWIW, Sagarin's Predictor ranking currently has NDSU at #68 in the nation (FBS and FCS), ahead of a bunch of power-5 conference teams. According to that metric, Iowa (#13 overall) would be a 15.85 point favorite on a neutral field.

Close for a half (something like 13-7 or 17-10 at HT) but the Hawkeyes' wear them down in the trenches and pull away. Hawkeyes 34 Bizon 13

Week 1: Louisville Week 2: Cincinnati Week 3: Arizona State

This is great! Thanks

Week 1: Louisville Week 2: Cincinnati

I made the decision for this year that we'll do one continuous thread. It should make it a lot easier for me to monitor, and life these days doesn't allow me to put in quite as much effort on this as I could a couple years back.

Nova indeed does have a football team. If I'm not mistaken, both Jordan Canzeri and Mike Daniels were going to go to Villanova before Iowa offered at the last minute. Also, Chicago Cubs OF Matt Szczur played baseball and football for Villanova and had over 5,000 all-purpose yards in his...

I didn't see anyone doing this on here yet, so I thought I would get it started. In case you haven't done a survival pool (also known as "Suicide Pool") before, here are the rules: -Pick a team you think will win this week. For the purposes of this pool Labor Day will be the final day of week...
