I just caught the end of that game and saw him knock down a 4th down pass attempt at the LOS, which basically ended the game. The announcer said he'd "had a big 2nd half" but I didn't know what that meant...must have been referring to the interception.

This is at least the 2nd year of preseason hype about Moulton, and he hasn't been that impressive when the lights come on. I'm ridin' Patterson if I had to choose an 'every down' RB.

Replacing 7 Sr starters on Defense will be tough, and unlike anything that I can remember in recent years. Last year was the year to do something special, with a softer schedule. Iowa's D relies heavily on the LBs being in the right position, all the time. Higgins replaced Campbell in an...

Yeah, ain't no way a 9-3 Iowa team gets serious playoff consideration.

"One of the things Walter learned that led to his longevity was to avoid the hard hits. He knew when to duck down and not try to pile drive the defenders coming up to hit him." Yep, and he also never stayed on the ground very long...to eliminate the 'accidental' ankle, foot, and knee twisting...

Heck, I'd rank Sullivan #9 on that list. What a top-heavy group...not much to cheer about after #8, and frankly, only the Top 4 could really be called exceptional. Agreed, Stanzi is a little higher on that list than I'd have him.

Man, seeing Nick Bell running at the 4:25 mark warmed my cockles!

I have to admit, Coach Cig jumped up my ladder quite a bit with his response to a typical softball question lobbed by BTen network hosts during BTen media days. When asked "At this point in your coaching career, what brings you the most satisfaction?" Expecting a predictable "Seeing youngsters...

Bret Bielema would be my first choice. The Washington coach a close 2nd -- he seems like a cool dude. Couldn't pay me to hang with Fleck.

Wow. Guys other than the point guard playing defense. Amazing.

TT said the biggest factor for him -- other than the coaches -- was he was told Iowa needed him to play right away...something the Purdue's and Tennessee's of the world probably couldn't commit to. Coach M has been around long enough to know you don't tell somebody they're going to get playing...

"Paterno debacle"? Many talking heads were predicting the sanctions against PSU at that time would set back their football program for a decade. Any clear-headed view knew that was not the case, and as I predicted their program suffered barely a bump in the road. Most recruits today wouldn't...

Perhaps. But in addition to shopping around for more $$ -- and more GUARANTEED $$ -- why wouldn't athletes just shop around for contracts with the fewest limits and most favorable terms?

Sounds like the Huskers are in the mix for Bo. After Penn St. and Okie St, could Nebraska displace Iowa as the 3rd best program in the country? They just finished 2nd at the NCAA this year, recruited A.J. Ferrari...

Ouch. That hurts bigtime.

This.

Certainly the 'defense' part of that is no surprise.

That album had amazing technical production....just kicked ass on my large Advent speakers (with liquid-cooled tweeters) in '77. To this day, the best speakers I ever owned.

These type of discussions always remind me of being back in the wrestling room at West Waterloo High back in the mid-'70s with Bob Siddens -- one of the best h.s. coaches in Iowa's history. The 1960s and '70s were a time of great cultural change, yet he remained very 'old school' -- but not in...

Kallakmanis Top 5 in the BTen? I don't think so.
