    Oregon Lookalike Thread...

    I cannot tell you how much I loooove these threads. This is what I'm going with. I'd say it's uncanny.

    YouTube vs. Disney/ESPN Pissing Match

    Netflix is my jam. I can watch almost anything on there. That whole COVID lockdown thing, I watched a lot. For awhile there, I thought I finished Netflix. Just came to the end. But, then I started expanding my choices a bit. My top 'recommended for you category' is "Romantic workplace Korean TV...

    YouTube vs. Disney/ESPN Pissing Match

    I keep YTTV for 2 reasons. 1 multiview. Specifically during college football season. 2. To make life easier. I don't have to donate to STL Public Television (it sucks so bad compared to IPTV) just so I can watch Masterpiece. I gotta have my Masterpiece. Also, there's zombie shows. I don't wanna...

    YouTube vs. Disney/ESPN Pissing Match

    If they take $30 off my YTTV bill, I'll pay $30/month. I'm guessing ESPN's portion of my YTTV bill is closer to $35/month. Disney's problem is... I ain't paying $75 for Disney/Hulu/ABC....which is what they're gonna want.

    YouTube vs. Disney/ESPN Pissing Match

    The problem is....ESPN is a shit corporation to buy and will be a boat anchor for Disney or just about anyone who has boards and shareholders who worship the balance sheet. ESPN has never...and never will....make "good" profits. They're always going to look terrible on a balance sheet. Sports...

    Yah. It's been awhile since Iowa was #1. But it's only been 4 years since they were #2. Yeah. We know how that turned out. We also know how the last time they were #1 turned out. They didn't wind up #1 then either. Still a special season. Under Ferentz, they've finished the season ranked higher...

    Matt Dumbbell Post Games Should Just Be a Recording Shown On Repeat

    Is it really just depth? I mean, I don't imagine you can't say it's lack of development. Maybe lack of "team" development? In that maybe not enough guys get enough focus and opportunity until they are annointed as a starter? That seems far-fetched. This isn't the first time they fizzled. I...

    As much as I want Iowa in the playoffs...I hate the playoffs. Win your conference. Failing that, contend for it. Even contending for it is exceptional. The back door entrance this year is highly unlikely. If it happens, I'm happy to revisit. Even then, I think you're right about being 3rd...

    Agreed. I do think in the early days, officials in the field were absolutely "erring on the side of replay." And I thought that was bad. But, I also think that the call on the field, which...as you say...is guesswork...is wrong too. Maybe there's a third option. Of a ref making a call...

    I don't think there's anything super special about this season. Even if they win out. And Oregon win and win out is awesome. And maybe it involves playoffs. Which is crazy.I think it's just stupid that it os theoretically possible for them to win out...get into the playoffs, and theoretically...

    I can't see anything. Just a blurry blob. I have excised aome things from memory.

    My God. Did they really take the field to "Back In Black"? I mean "We're gonna fight fight fight for Nebraska" still works. Same number of syllables. Win or lose, they are pathetic.

    My kid got Sling for $4.99 for the day. I advised him against it. I am secretly glad he did

    New rule. You can't have a black or white out if you don't have the corresponding black or white in your school colors.

    Expert-Level Troll Job...

    I mean. I don't know he's done. He could get a gig. Say, at Akron. And do good things for them. Maybe get in contention over time for somewhere like New Mexico? Somewhere far from here. And somewhere with minimal expectations.

    More or less likely?

    I would go with 'more' likely. But I would also say comprehensively unlikely. Kinda like being more dead.

    I can't think ot a time I've ever been optimistic about Iowa. Certainly not for awhile now. Even prior to the skid? Maybe not optimistic about any team or individual athlete I'm a fan of. Hopeful, yes. Always. But that's also just me. Pessimism works for me when I have no control over...

    Because lawyers. I would almost absolutely bet there is language....or they will find language they can use to base some sort of lawsuit against Franklin and his new employer. Each side will initially dig in their heels upon instruction from lawyers. And then there will be a protracted...

    Iowa football 'safe and secure' in CBS hot seat rankings

    You will get no argument from me. Other than, I hope he goes of his own in the next few years if he "needs" to. Either that or if he stays to the end, I hope he coordinates WITH Goetz when it is time (even if they disagree about the way forward that he at least plays along).... Kirk Ferentz has...

    I would really really like for Iowa to win this game. I will dislike Oregon forever. Because my very first game, my first ever in person college football game experience ever.... Was Iowa/Oregon. 1989 It was not pretty. That season was not terribly pretty. But it was mostly uphill from there...
