I agree with this totally. There is a time for protesting, and a time for the people of America to roll up their sleeves, get to work and actually do something about the problems in society. If people won't acknowledge the racial problems we have in this country by now, more protesting isn't...

So what are you suggesting? We all practice celibacy the rest of our lives?

Did Barta not learn anything after playing N. Dakota St? If you're going to schedule a cupcake, make sure its a cupcake you know you can beat. In 2018, Troy beat Nebraska. In 2017,Troy beat LSU. In 2016, Troy lost a one score game to Clemson. You have a lot more to lose than there is to gain...

The Penn St team you're talking about had 2 losses, not 1.

I just don't see how Nebraska will be much improved with no post season practice last year and no spring practice. Also there schedule is not friendly. They start out with 7 games that they could win, (but will probably still lose at least 1 or 2). The last 5 games are killers. They play Ohio...

For those needing a football fix, KMCH 94.7 radio out of Manchester has been replaying classic Hawkeye football game from 9 to noon on Saturday mornings. Last week, they had the 2000 Iowa- Penn St game on. (26-23 Iowa win in 2OT)It was Kirks first win on the road as head coach and I think the...

I heard Fiesta Cancun is coming to the old Rio Blanco place. My wife and I got take out at Rio Blanco in Dyersville last week that was very good. Hope they make a go of it there.

Just curious, but are you old enough to have been to Chad's when it was still Leroy's? I think Chad still uses Leroy's pizza recipe that he used almost 40 years ago. My friends and I used to eat at Leroy's all the time in high school back in the 80s.

Yeah, tough times right now for farmers(as well as a lot of other people, obviously). Its one thing to get a low price for your product, but to not be able to sell it at all is much worse.With some packing plants shutting down or running at partial capacity due to Covid-19, many farmers are...

Sorry but theres not a whole lot of exciting things to do in or around Manchester. You mentioned the Field of Dreams and toy museum which are probably worth the time to see if you're in the area. Other than that, not much that I can think of, but I guess it depends what type of thing you're into...

I agree with this. I have an 87 year old uncle in a nursing home. His mind is still good, but his body is starting to fail. I called him the other day. He doesn't care either if he gets the coronavirus. All he wants is to see his kids and grandkids one more time before he dies, but obviously...

If we do have football and fans are allowed, it will be interesting to see what kind of attendance we have. A lot of people who go to games are getting long in the tooth, I would imagine some of them would choose to stay home this year. Also for some people who lost or had reduced income this...

If we don't sign a QB in this class, I'd like to see Cooper DeJean get a look at QB. I know the coaching staff has him penciled in at safety, but he put up some very impressive numbers at the QB position in leading his team to the state title last year.

I don't see the point in the weight restrictions. You will still have different weights for different positions on the field at the same time. On one play a 300 pound guard may be blocking a 280 pond d-tackle, the next play he may be blocking a 230 pound lb. On other plays, he may get downfield...

Thanks for posting, Giant. Its not to hard to figure out the top two on your list. I'm not really disagreeing with how you ranked these games because theres been so many and they've all been great for different reasons. But if I had to point to just one game as the turning point in Fry turning...

Well, there aren't any random hookups with trash you bring home from a party are a bar.

I'm not really arguing that Iowa should be called DB U. My point was that Iowa and Phil Parker do more with less than the schools you listed. Those schools are bringing in multiple 4 and 5 star DBs every year. They SHOULD have a lot more players in the NFL than Iowa. I challenge anyone to find a...

Its about damn time recruits start figuring out how good Phil Parker is at developing DBs. Look at the list of guys that had at least some NFL playing time the last 20 years. Bowen, Pagel, Sanders, Considine, Godfrey, Fletcher, Sash, Spievey, Hyde, King, Jackson. Soon Ojemudia and Stone.I'm...

I seem to remember reading somewhere that even Hayden Fry advised Stoops to take the Oklahoma job. The way I see it, that could mean one of three things: 1.Hayden felt Oklahoma was a better job. (most likely,IMO) 2.Hayden suspected Stoops would not get the Iowa job. 3.Hayden wanted KF to succeed...

Agree. Wisconsin will do a better job developing him than Nebraska would.
