I did it! I did it! I posted a picture. And one that was coming from something not easily portable via this method, even. Thank you, friend. You know who you are.

Iowa women's basketball has 19 regular season games left. They are guaranteed at least one game in the Big 10 Tournament. 20 assured games. As of the end of the game Sunday, Clark needs exactly 500 points to break the all time scoring record. That's an average of exactly 25 points per game...

I have a little more hope for this 25 point average than the other.

Michigan won last night with defense and only 150 yards passing, 70 yards rushing, and a special teams performance racking up a couple field goals and a huge punt return. People laughed at Iowa for winning like that all season. Seems to me, complimentary football can get you into the playoffs.

All indications point to not a rumor.

Here's a list of teams currently under 25 points average with less than 7 wins. These are teams with a chance achieve both of the standards. With three games remaining for each, the asterisks denote the number of wins they need to reach 7. Iowa (18.4) NC State (24.7) * Arkansas State (24.6) **...

"Simply say a prayer for the Hawkeye offense." No clue who this fine woman was. I just saw it on the interwebz. But I can confidently say the world is poorer that she is no longer with us. https://www.lensingfuneral.com/obituaries/Dr-B-Eleanor-Anstey?obId=29749823

Is it true they only had 2 net yards in the second half? I saw that on the interwebz somewhere and need confirmation.

2017 Iowa vs. Wisconsin was the first time Iowa racked up less than 200 total yards in over 100 games. https://www.thegazette.com/sports/hlas-the-day-iowa-football-had-minus-19-yards/ I'm guessing there was some AIRBHG years or the first 2 years of Kirkball. Prior to that, you gotta go back...

Since I'm into numbers and the consequences of things, I'm very interested in this. Following the clock rule changes to last year's (and fairly static numbers through the last several years).... After 1 week: FBS avg # of plays down a little over 2 (~3%) avg length of game down marginally (2...

Bishop Sycamore One of the most insane moments in sports history. So primed by Tiger King and the fascination of the abomination. Covid limiting things we would have paid attention to other than a nationally televised high school football game between two schools with essentially no alumni other...

Looks like the late Tom Poholsky's son is coming to Iowa as a preferred walk-on QB. I'd love nothing more than to see this work out. Not a lot of STL folks at Iowa back then. It was pretty cool for me to have a QB who went to my high school.

My son is a freshman. Has a few freshman players on his dorm floor. None that have played, but do suit up. Apparently one of them hides a button (I assume like a picture/pin button, not like a clothing button) somewhere on the dorm floor for my son and his roommate to find. When they find it...

Cause I like numbers. Even if they are nonsense. And then trying to give them legitimate value. 17.877% That's the percentage of Iowa's total points that were recorded by defensive players (including PATs as a 'gimmee'). 4 tds 2 safeties 32 out of 179 points. Caveat: It's actually a little...

We talked about it last week. I am kinda unchanged, but hopefull. They are better, because they have played 9 games now. But, I think Purdue's defense might be as bad as Northwestern's. It seams to me like they pull more effectively and go forward rather than backward after the snap. But, I...

I may have asked this before and forgotten to look at responses. I have zero experience playing football. I "knew" a few guys who played in college (D3 and D1) and the NFL, but that's about it. Not enough to ask these kinds of questions. Also, I'm not tying this to anything specifically current...

I couldn't watch today or even follow along outside of a few quick check ins on my phone. 150 yards. Is that right? That's all? Tell me I read that wrong.

I don't know where they rank in terms of other universities and such. A lot of it is fairly rote type stuff every university does. "Move in day" stuff. Solid use of Herky. (Side note: I assume Herky is now managed by the athletic department or the cheerleaders maybe? When I went there it was a...

I spent the night, in a bar.... Outside of Iowa.... In STL, not a town known for a huge Hawk fanbase... With my son who's been accepted to Iowa.... Surrounded by former Iowans and alumns from varying years.... Rooting for my team... Except for fans of a half dozen other teams.... The rest...
