    Why People REGRET Buying Solar Panels in 2025

    I was listening to Chris & Chris the other day and Hassel said his wife works with Traveler's insurance. They were discussing solar panels and his wife commented that if there is a storm or something and they get trashed it's all on the homeowner as I don't think insurance companies insure them...

    Advanced Iowa Stats…Pretty Interesting Stuff…

    It's definitely a luxury having two starter quality guys. The past several years, if felt as if the #1 went out, Iowa was screwed. At least now you feel you have a formidable guy coming in.

    Advanced Iowa Stats…Pretty Interesting Stuff…

    Agree. We know Iowa hasn't beaten a top 20 team in sometimes it seems. Now I realize much of that is due to the offensive issues they have had, but Iowa hasn't really been tearing it up on D against top notch teams. We'll know more after the first two BIG games.

    For The Notre Dame Fans….

    ND is just as overrated every year as Nebby. Well, not quite, but is pretty close. Screw them both.

    Iowa vs. Rutgers Predictions

    Agree on Indiana. That is the bar setter going forward now that Gronk is 4 games in.

    Couple of Surprises

    But it was UMass which really did nothing for the development on the field except for maybe a confidence boost. It will be interesting to see if they can keep it up against Rutgers. If they have success similar to last Saturday I will feel much better.

    Couple of Surprises

    Yea, it wasn't on him. But, he does do this weird flip of the ball which looks like going back to rugby that could cost him in other games as takes a bit of extra time. But, that wasn't the case last game.

    Couple of Surprises

    What do you mean the punt wasn't blocked at all?? What surprises me the most is that Iowa has not forced one turnover. Weird.

    Iowa vs. Rutgers Predictions

    Iowa is going to run into another decent defense. Not UMass and will prob look pretty underwhelming on offense with challenges in the passing game. We will all be back where after we were after the Iowa State game. Hope not, but would not surprise me.

    Cleveland.com sends clear Woody Hayes message to Iowa Hawkeyes coach Kirk Ferentz

    I can counter the arguments. Woody Hayes did it at Ohio State with the top recruits, $$ & resources. Even the stadium digs were well above many other programs. Kirk did it at lowly Iowa. Would Woody Hayes have hit 205 at Iowa in the same time period? Prob not. Could KF have hit 206 in less...

    Ostrenga Is Out For The Year

    We'll be seeing Thomas Meyer sooner than later I guess.

    Pollard, Campbell and Goetz

    I thought it was interesting watch the Big Noon show. Urban Meyer was telling a story how a blue blood called Campbell years ago when hiring a new coach. Campbell called up Meyer for his advice on if he should take the job and stated "Coach, you can win a NC at this school". Meyer told him to...

    Mark Gronowski - I didn't know!

    If you had the opportunity to watch Big Noon Kickoff, they did a heart tugging story about Mark Gronowski and about his relationship with his brother who battles severe epilepsy along with a development condition. I never knew of this story, and it really tells me a ton about his character and...

    Kirk Moves Into Tie As Big Ten All-Time Winningest Coach

    This is not Kirk's fault or decision. He simply just coaches the games on the schedule.

    Owen Freeman

    This is where I live. Those guys that bail puts a bad taste in my mouth and I don't wish any ill luck on them but also don't care if they succeed or not going forward. I enjoyed watching Freeman, but it just always felt like he had a shady side to him or that he was at Iowa for the wrong reason...

    Predictions for Albany

    I think Albany's going to have a rough season, perhaps a 2-10 or 3-9 season.

    Watching the games without cable.

    I have a hard time believing ESPN is not included as I was told you can virtually get anything and everything, even from other countries.

    Watching the games without cable.

    I found it under $300 at couple places. My bud said he could get me one from a dealer under $300. I saw it and it really is legit. But, when investigating, there is a question of some issues such as stalling or buffering or some stations might not be accessible at times. There is collateral...

    Watching the games without cable.

    It's really f'ing ironic how all these contract disputes with every carrier ALWAYS HAPPEN right before the start of the college football season. They know what they are doing and guys, who will have a huge say in their family decisions, will cave & pay so they know to threaten at this time...

    Watching the games without cable.

    I have a couple friends who have the V See box. It's like $300 and one can get absolutely everything. LIve TV, sports, every movie ever made including movies that are within weeks of being in the theatres. I viewed it the other day and the guide and viewing is very similar to any streaming guide...
