    PSU and ISU schadenfreude

    Is it time to do another write it down? In this thread, of course, because ISU does not deserve a dedicated thread on our main board. Will Campbell end up as the coach at PSU? I'm going to write it down and say "yes". I think so. PSU clearly has nothing in the tank along the lines of Woods...

    Records for the Fry-Ferentz Era at Iowa

    I think you're right. But, I also think we underestimate the number of people on a football team that actually do care inherently and individually on the academics. My kid is friends with a defensive player who is now technically a junior in terms of sports, but after this semester he will...

    Records for the Fry-Ferentz Era at Iowa

    14. Record against Urban Meyer: 1-0 20% of the time a Kirk Ferentz football team finishes in the top 10. There's 3 other teams in the Big 10 that can boast better performance in that statistic. Again, we're not the bridesmaid. That's Michigan and PSU. But we are the guestbook attendant. We're...

    "IF" this is indeed Kirk's swan song, who do you want?

    Not a chance in hell. We've kinda been playing this game for a decade now.

    I 100% can believe that a plan was being worked on. (And I'm fine with that. Actually happy about it, not for the coaching change per se, but just that it would have been a thought out plan, not a reactionary one) But at this point... I about 89% believe that the something in the plan changed...

    KF Starting QBs

    That's why I say we'd be getting pissy with the Texas fans trying to make their case. And let me clarify. It would have to be THESE exact games. Not just 'this years schedule next year'. These EXACT games. Same day, weather, rosters, injuries/availabilities. Like running a software model. Only...

    "IF" this is indeed Kirk's swan song, who do you want?

    So about a month or so ago, I had a former ISU assistant who coached under McCarney come through my office trying to sell me something or maybe he was repping a freight company. Whatever it was, I had enough conversation to figure this out...so he likely wasn't selling something and was coming...

    KF Starting QBs

    I think if this had been year 2 for Gronowski, they absolutely beat Iowa State. I think they would have beat Indiana. (Not that Iowa would be a 'better' team than Indiana. Just that at home, in that game on that day, Iowa wins). I'm on the fence if they would have beat USC. Entirely possible...

    Fitzgerald going to MSU. We can put that one to rest.

    Well, it technically resulted in 3 touchdowns and a field goal.

    That stat that's floating around. Only teams with 8+ wins over x seasons (I think it's 13?) are Iowa, OSU, Alabama, and Georgia (I think). I see both Nebbie fans AND Iowa fans dogging on that. The ole "but never won anything" routine. Or Nebbie fans saying "How many of those seasons were with 4...

    And in our defense, the cumulative total point differential in all of the Iowa losses is less than what Nebraska lost by yesterday.

    Rumor Has It. - Dylan Riaola

    I 50-50 he stays. And that's good for Iowa. So much dilution to their NIL pile.

    Oh, i think he'll improve them. But he won't be the coach that returns them to glory. For one, there is no glory. There isn't enough money in Husker nation. The core of "cheap" (NIL wise) in state players you need is shrinking at a rate in Nebraska not seen elsewhere. No recruitable out of state...

    Husker fans are worse than us about officiating. To be fair, that could easily be called targeting whether it was or wasn't. Also to be fair, Nebraska got, by my count, at least 4 completely mystifying forward progress spots that resulted in either first downs or touchdowns. All the other...

    Hawkeyes - Cornhuskers Game Thread

    I'm pretty sure that we won that game (I say "we" because my fam is pretty much on the team now) because we had lunch right next to Gronowski, Dunker, and Jones. You're welcome! But, also I didn't wear any Hawk gear. Always better results when I don't wear gear on game day. Also, when I...

    Hawkeyes - Cornhuskers Game Thread

    One final Gronwoski run for a first down would be a fitting end for this season.

    Is this the game thread? Currently just horth off CDR and will driving through SE Iowa and northern MO for parts of the game. WHO gets sketchy in areas and will have internet that may not support video.

    You think all Duenker, Gronowski, and Jones were talking about was Star Wars video games?

    Currently having lunch with Gronowski and Jones

    I brought that up. Til my kid pointed out there was probably over a million bucks of NIL money sitting at their table, whereas I...I don't make that kind of money.
