    Was it just me?

    I think some people just have an inferiority complex about their team and keep track of every little thing they view as a slight, when in reality the call ebbs back and forth with the progress of the game and winds up being pretty fair. Dakich says some dumb stuff during every broadcast but I...

    Let's get the pulse on tonight

    Jordan scored the last 11 points, in the last 1:34 of the game. Make your free throws, don't turn the ball over - and the refs can't steal the game from you.

    If you played football in HS, did you suffer a concussion (poll)?

    Sophomore year, I was a flanker on the JV team. Last week of the season, and I was running scout O against the varsity D. I took a handoff and ran through the line (I had never taken a handoff before) and got absolutely creamed helmet to helmet by a senior LB twice my size. I was knocked out...

    UNI sneak peek

    UNI trailed Dubuque at home last weekend by 12 in the second half before waking up and scratching out a close win. This is not one of Jacobsen's better teams - they are currently last in the MVC at 4-5. Hawks should win comfortably.

    ALERT-ALERT--HULU...no BTN overflow/alt channels

    It looks like the same situation on my PS VUE, however the Iowa game is airing on BTN, even though the channel guide shows the Penn State game on all 4 BTN channels.

    Down 9 and going for 2

    15 = 15, but in my view they should have kicked the XP. If you recover the onside kick and score again, you've got all the D on its heels and have all the momentum going for the tie.

    Two guys close to blocking the punt, and one blocks the other into the punter. Ouch.

    New Commit Akrum Wadley

    You can tell by the way he carries the ball that this guy is going to have fumbling problems.

    Grade Brian's Gameplan

    The gameplan wasn't the problem. Dropped passes, bad field position, and poor adjustments were the problem.

    !*****Official 'The Hawkeyes Stop The Air Raiding Green Birds.' Game Thread*****!

    Has there ever been a game with more stoppages of play? Injuries, penalties, reviews.....it's been painful to watch.

    99% have CTE. Football will be gone in 10 years. I'm serious.

    If football is to survive, the answer is going to be reducing the lifetime exposure to violent head collisions. This can be achieved by a combination of age limits, practice limits, reducing the number of games played, shortening the games, rule changes to reduce danger, player size limits...

    Best shooting performance ever

    Christian Laettner went 10-10 from the field and 10-10 from the line, (and hit that game winning shot at the buzzer) to beat Kentucky in OT in a Regional Final game.

    Kurt Warner first Iowan in NFL hall of fame

    He wasn't very well-regarded coming out of high school and didn't get any major offers. He didn't even start for UNI until his senior year.

    "We're only Minnesota..."

    Fleck is either going to wear out his welcome in Minnesota quickly, or he's going to be really successful. Which means he'll be fired or take a better job within 3 seasons, 4 tops.

    Concussions and Football Poll

    I got a concussion during football practice when I was 16. I had memory loss and headaches that lasted for weeks. It scared the hell out of me and I ran cross country my last two years instead. (This was in the late 1980s) I'll never let my son play football or hockey or any other sport...
