Understood. And I get it. Everyone is human and pretty much everyone has a price. Its hard to fault any player or coach from leaving a gig if someone else will pay them a lot more money and/or give you a better chance to succeed. You go where you are most valued. Similarly, here, if a...

It seems like the most likely record at the end of the season is 8-5. Win out and lose the BOWL, or stub our toe at Nebbie and win a non-Championship BOWL against a lesser opponent with more opt outs than us. With respect, you don't push out the all-time winningest coach in school and...

Well, this thread turned real dark. You fuckers know way too much about each others' lives. I would lock this thread and we can all move onto something about Iowa football again.

Love it. Leave it to chance and the school selection. That said, you might end up getting less awesome matchups. Having the Committee do it with no strings might be best.

Exactly my point. The term "bowl" has been downgraded to such an extent it will never regain your childhood nostalgic version of what a "bowl" means. The Pro Bowl, before it was cancelled, was a slap fight. The Pinstripe Bowl is played in a baseball stadium in the winter. The Hula Bowl...

No. They are bowls. They are just not Championship Bowls. As the newly appointed CFB Czar, I can't take 35 other bowls and call them a scrimmage and then turn around and ask ESPN for 15 million per in broadcasting rights. They are bowls, their fans care about them, some get 40,000 fans to...

I think all we need to address Fry's "Stay Off My Lawn" attitude about Bowls is to have tiers: The CFB should not play in any bowls. Those teams are in the playoffs and they each round already has a name. Should not be bowl related at all. Then, you take the big traditional bowls like Rose...

God it must suck being this unhappy all the time. What would you rather being doing on December 29th than watching the Hawks play football????? Seriously, the first part was hilarious. You forgot to add that it is being broadcast on ESPN8 The Ocho. Seriously, seriously, I know you hate bowl...

I think Phil would say that USC has two NFL caliber WR and no one in the Iowa secondary was capable of covering them 1-1. And, he would be right. That said, I agree with you that that kid was carving us up. He looked incredibly comfortable back there. Our DEs have been disappointing this...

KF's clock management at the end of both halves was borderline criminal.....

I don't seem them cancelling a football game because of a lot of rain. Are they that soft out West?? They have held games for 8 hours because of thunderstorms and still finished them. Its gotta be pretty dire to just cancel it altogether.

That's a lot of rain for sunny California. I love this time of year when weather fucks with football games. I am ready for some snow ball.

It is precisely because this was Michigan State, and not Michigan, that the NCAA farce of an enforcement entity decided to take action. It never punishes its big brands. That said, both of them were either nothing burgers or not. Michigan got hit harder. Michigan got a huge fine. Big...

Its not 21%, but its not 0%. Let's win out and then we can wring our hands about it. Iowa generally does not play well in this particular stadium, and USC is a talented team, especially on offense.

We have had a few of those around the office!

Pitt, S. Florida and Cinci, all ranked behind us, all still have a shot to make the playoffs because of their weak ass conference affiliations. All could win their conference or theoretically still squeeze in as an at large bid (less likely) So, that is why they go out to 25, to let all the...

Iowa has the functional equivalent of two very good two point plays with its two touchdowns (short pass in the flat to the TE and Gron running it in). Both were snapped from the 2. It doesn't matter what you call it in practice. Every team practices their offense at the goal line. So, that...

Rogue One as a whole was an average production by Star Wars standards, but the last 30 minutes or so from when the rebels attack Scarif covertly followed by Mon and the other Rebel leaders sending their fleet to protect the rebel incursion is the best action sequence in the entirety of the Star...

Freeman did almost nothing in the game last night where Creighton got whooped by the Zags. He started and had like 2 points in 15 minutes. You cannot deny his talent, but he has always been inconsistent in his production and effort.

I always found it a bit cringy that Iowa's coach was nicknamed "White Magic" as a player and Iowa was the only P6 school that I ever saw that started 5 white guys several times.
