16 pts & 14 boards against a team with that much size and athleticism is "worst" when Iowa gets the W??
and I don;t know how many blocks, but he had several, plus he made 6-7 pts when they made a serious run at us...IMO Luka played great considering all the big bodies they threw at him.
Safe bet that the one Hawkeye that ALL the other teams do not want taking a potential game-winning last shot...is JBo.
He's made the kill-shot many times before. They know it. He knows it.
He has the confidence and experience to keep making those crunch-time shots.
That said, I would be very...
Dan Gable became the first person associated with wrestling to ever receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom, which is the highest Award any civilian can ever receive in America.
How very fitting for the GOAT to be the very first to receive this prestigious honor!
President Trump chose Gable...
I get he says that he wants to stay in Ames...he cares for his players like all good coaches, but if he would get an offer of say $8M/yr for 6-7 year deal at a premier football school...
(Cue up "East bound & Down")
99.9% of coaches would do the same thing. Time will tell.
Considering:
1. how we lost the first two with so may dumb penalties
2. how well we have played the last two games
3. ...and how young our starters are - the FUTURE IS VERY BRIGHT!
With an 8-game conf season I must admit I'm enjoying this season much more.
It's a totally F'd up year, so I'm...
This is the earliest that our O-line has been playing so well. Usually they improve and by game #6-7 they are in sync an we are looking this damn good in game #3??
I know MN is weak on D... but JFC we drove them off the line so well and so consistently I could have had 50 yds rushing tonight...
The lasting impression tonight's game left me with was our Defense and the consistency we showed.
Might be the best defensive game start to finish we've had in years!
Morgan, Ibrahim and Bates are all very, very good players...all three will be playing on Sundays - and we kept them in-check...
Two things:
1. O-line struggled to move NW off the line. Scary to think what PSU and Wisky will do.
2. I'm concerned with our weakness against stopping the run off the edge.
AJE is definitely missed.
Another season with NFLcaliber-talent...but it won't be used because, you know....the thing.
The thing is KF/BF.
2024 can't come fast enough for me. Time to put an end the Ferentz Family Retirement Plan
Sorry, can't help but be negative AF today.
