    GAME DAY!!!!

    Yah, I'm not at all ready to throw the TV off the deck. I'm just letting off pent up steam. At least we can say the plays are there. We've proved we can run outside the tackles. There have been wide open receivers. The tight end conveyor belt continues. But, I gotta let off a little steam.

    GAME DAY!!!!

    This posession is even more familiar.

    GAME DAY!!!!

    Agreed. I mean, hard to complain about a sustained drive. Better than 3 and out. But, also perfectly fair to complain about red zone effectiveness. A B10 QB has to make at least one of those passes.

    GAME DAY!!!!

    Hate to say it, but if you take out a couple of those first downs, that looked pretty familiar.

    Predictions for Albany

    It's Thursday night and I've already got the Youtube TV quad view going. Had a screened in deck built last year (all steel frame, composite deck...at the end of days it will be cockroaches and my deck)... Had the thing built for 2 reasons. 1. The cats. You know, they're assholes, but they...

    Predictions for Albany

    My predictions are always so horribly wrong. So this year, I'm going with an ineffective passing game and an anemic o-line coupled with a strong defense, Iowa wins 23-3. That's 3 safeties, 3 field goals, a Wetjen punt return for a TD with a 2 point conversion off a fumbled long snap that the...

    Kirk Herbstreit names Hawkeyes as B1G Sleeper

    I'm right with you on this. There's maybe, at most, a dozen teams who I'd rather be allegiant to. And that's only by their success record. I could not, and would not, ever...want to live in Alabama. Could never deal with the eternal swamp ass I'd have if I lived in Louisiana. Auburn? I don't...

    Kirk Herbstreit names Hawkeyes as B1G Sleeper

    I mean, I know Kirk's older than me. By quite a bit. And yet, I've had days where I'm like.."damn, the whole 'adult diaper thing' seems right around the corner." $100 says Kirk's already taking a spoonful of Miralax every morning. You know, just to keep things moving. I'd think a pot gummy...

    Kirk Herbstreit names Hawkeyes as B1G Sleeper

    I mean, anytime they're returning decent o-line, known runningbacks, a Parker defense, a punter who grew up with the Southern Cross in the night sky.....AND....a possibly good quarterback they're going to be a potential sleeper. Or at the least, a potential disruptor. I don't know what to...

    Will Caitlin Clark be the most famous Iowan ever?

    Based solely on jersey sales, Missourian and former Mizzouer, Sophie Cunningham is the second most famous person in Iowa right now.

    Will Caitlin Clark be the most famous Iowan ever?

    It's been nearly 20 years since I lived in Iowa. I was back in DSM recently to visit my kid who is interning at an insurance company while on summer break from school. I was in a Scheels. He needed new shoes. Yes, of course I always expect an Iowa and ISU section at sporting goods store. I also...

    Spring practice

    From the one thing I read, it sounded a little like a bowl game.

    Data…

    Is that an ice cream cone? As in 'vanilla'? Or am I missing some other reference. Like a video of Kirk eating a Carver Cone or something? FTR, I think Carver Cones get more hype than they deserve. I mean, you can make one in the dining halls anytime you want. Plus toppings. My wife who worked...

    Data…

    100%. I've expressed my...appreciation?....respect? etc. for Wisconsin in this thread. For some time, they too, experienced stability as evidenced by Alvarez/Bielema (bonus for the handoff when Alvarez moved into the C-suite)...and arguably Chryst as well. But, I don't think anyone looks at...

    Data…

    Michigan does not scare me. In my estimation, Ferentz is 8-9 against Michigan. I count the COVID Big 10 championship that Michigan chickened out of as a win. 9-8 against Penn State. Obviously, the record against OSU is not....not good. But I can live with it. The only team that is triggering...

    JuJU Watkins chasing CC

    She's got as good a team (I mean, off court/management/PR team) around her as Clark. You can't point to anything in her game, character, or presentation that's not to like. Heck, even Clark had some things in her on court behavior that we all probably wish never came out at times. Not seen...

    worst losses last 10 years

    x3 Bend but don't break is always anxiety inducing. When it breaks, it's angrifying. Heartbreak lasts forever. But can be erased the very next season. This one really hurts because we can't point to a B10 Championship where every Hawk fan who was alive at the time is still unable to legally...

    Iowa Athletic Department health

    Yah....I'm an idiot. I meant "in the red". I was referring to something else being in the black earlier today and got confused. Frazzled day touring yet more assisted living facilities for my parents. As I've told my kids, "you can decide to have children or not. Totally up to you. But...

    Iowa Athletic Department health

    So, anybody know how healthy it really is? STL paper is reporting today that the Mizzou athletic department is $15 million in the red on $180 million gross revenue. This, of course, prior to pending revenue sharing with athletes. Covering with an internal loan from the university. Is this...
