What a fun ass kicking. The pick six and punt return TD really blew things open. Up 31-0 with 11 minutes left in the second quarter. What an ass kicking

Budamyer sure does seem underwhelming.

Our WR are poor at getting separation and getting open. I was hoping we would see an uptick in that area that year, but it hasn't really happened.

You are misremembering. They were not completed in two hours. There weren't the iron clad TV windows, where everything was essentially a national broadcast like it is today. The network broadcasts and Raycom or syndicated broadcasts overlapped. Take a look at the 1986 Iowa schedule. The CBS...

We don't have Bumbling Barta rubber stamping whatever Pollard asked for. In the past, the B1G schedule was set years in advance. Now it is set MUCH closer to the actual games. The 2026 matchups have been announced, but not the dates. The CFB world is different.

What am I deflecting? You are the one making assertions. I think it mostly doesn't matter. Same as my thoughts about the people who complained that Iowa started the B1G season with a conference road game for 8 years in a row, or whatever it was. The team had the same number of home games and...

Anecdotes, narratives, and one-offs. If it is so obvious to you, please compile the numbers to show us you are correct.

If a B1G/SEC matchup happens, there are a number of SEC teams that won't want to participate due to their own OOC rivalry games (South Carolina/Clemson, Georgia/Georgia Tech, Missouri/Kansas [maybe], Oklahoma/OkSU [doubtful], FLA/Miami, FLA/FSU). AND the B1G has 18 teams while SEC has 16...

8.5 points is a lot to cover by a Kirk-led team. I'll be happy if we win by 1. I think I would take the points, too.

Every close game has 8 to 10 plays that could have swung the outcome. That is true every year. PSU, Indiana, and ISU fall into that category this year.

If we beat Minnesota, Gronk has the bye week to get healthy and put it all together. At least that is what I am hoping.

9-3 teams may not be "playoff worthy", but projections for the rest of this season seem to indicate we will probably see a 9-3 team in the field. It will be a blue blood, even if they don't belong.

You guys are tying yourself into knots believing narratives and anecdotes and one-offs. Because of the multiple variables, it is nearly impossible to boil it down into one being right and the other wrong. But the fact is that Kirk's teams have clearly had a better record when receiving the...

Totally agree. Nate was a 3-year start who was an above average B1G QB. Aw shucks, no nonsense approach. He should be a fan favorite, but most fans would say "remember when he missed that pass against penn state?"

10-2 but missing B1G game would really be perfect.

Kirk when we receive: 64% win ptg KIrk when we kick: 56% win ptg

Brian destroyed the QB room and the only guy they trusted to "run the trains on time" was an oaf.

The Athletic polled their writers for the best stadiums to create a top 25. Iowa is #28, also receiving votes. The poll seems dominated by stadiums with pretty views. Appalachian State? https://archive.ph/1mqpI B1G: #2 PSU, #4 OSU, #5 Michigan (HA!), #9 Rose Bowl (a joke 364 days a year)...

Gronowski had 385 carries for 1767 yards at SDSU, for 4.6 ypc. and 37 rushing TD. He was presented a dual threat QB when we landed him. https://www.espn.com/college-football/player/stats/_/id/4695400/mark-gronowski

I approve this message. I have participated in the wave dozens of times now. I'm lucky enough to be in section 109, very close to the hospital. I am not exaggerating, that I get a little choked up every single time. Because every single time, I look up and there are kids waving back who have...
