    What's with Hybrids?

    That's a great story about the milkman in Philly! The question is: how hard does your daughter pray for cool temps in the summer?! Ha.

    What's with Hybrids?

    Understood. I paid about $14,000 for my solar array, and that included a complete replacement of the electrical box inside my house -- which was also covered under the tax credits. In 2016 there was a 30% fed credit + a 15% state credit, so that reduced the cost significantly. At 14 grand it...

    What's with Hybrids?

    I haven't ever figured the cost difference per mile electric vs gas, but I think there are online calculators to do that, which allow inputs for various kwh costs for electricity. When I installed my solar panels I planned to live in this house at least another 20 years, and knew they'd be paid...

    What's with Hybrids?

    I have a plug-in hybrid and it's the best of both worlds. Works great as a commuter car because it gets 40+ miles on battery without paying for gas, but the gas engine allows for long trips as well without having the range anxiety or high charging costs on longer trips with strictly EVs...

    Week 3 Depth Chart vs UMass

    If Washington starts at RB again I will seriously consider this being my last year as a season ticket holder. After watching tape of last week's game, any coach who would start Washington again is beyond help. We aren't that desperate for RBs -- X and Patterson are solid, and McNeal deserves...

    Oh crap! Thanks for the heads-up Fab. I would have picked Miss. St. per your advice, but Alcorn isn't an FBS school! I'll come up with another team by Friday...

    don't mean to be sour grapes

    I think you're correct. Both the teams you mention have glaring weaknesses. Prior to the season, I thought Iowa was likely a 7-5 team, which included figuring Gronowski would be an average BTen QB. After the past 2 games, I'll be pleasantly surprised if Iowa gets to 6 wins. After UMass...

    How does recruiting work now?

    BF and Lester lured McNamara and Gronowski respectfully, with promises of them being the one piece needed to 'turn Iowa's offense around' and in Lester's case, telling Gron his chances in the NFL will be greater knowing Lester's NFL offensive system and language. After this season, that sales...

    How much of the lack of offense is poor QB play...

    "What I'm seeing is a QB that isn't completely comfortable with the scheme and his WRs quite yet." This may be THE understatement of the 2025 football season.

    NCAA Rankings

    The most revolting thing about the passing yardage stat is the teams we faced thus far: Albany, one of the weakest teams in the nation when our WRs were running free all over the field; and Iowa St., whose safeties got torched for multiple long TD passes by KState. I was willing to give...

    For no good reason

    There are some key differences this year compared to most Cy-Hawk games. In most years ISU has tall, elitish WRs and the key to their offense is getting them the ball, since Iowa shuts down their run game. This year is different: ISU WRs are about the same quality as Iowa's -- i.e...

    Clones a 3 point favorite at this point

    I try to never bet against the Hawks, but it's gonna take a lot of discipline this week to not take the Clones with that line!

    Kirk Shares Which Past Star Would Add To Roster

    That KF didn't mention a QB, even tho we are in desperate need of a better one, sums up his approach to the game.

    Revised W/L predictions?

    Before yesterday's game, I had the Hawks 5-4 in the BTen. That looks a little overly optimistic at this point.

    Mark Gronowski Will Make His Debut Against Albany

    14-25, 170 yds, 2 TD, 23 yds rushing.

    Predict first Iowa play on offense

    Moulten wide zone run. I'd put money on it -- FanDual should offer a bet for this!
