Behind 707 Melrose about an hour before kickoff Carl the Hawkeye poet has been reading a poem before every home game for over 30 years. http://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/local/kyle-munson/2014/09/13/kyle-munson-carl-schwendinger-poet-iowa-football-games/15568843/

When the streak ended in '98, I kinda shrugged and thought, "welp, that figures." There was just too much hubris, complacency, and arrogance in Iowa City after the umpteen year streak. The clones had a few good years and it looked like they had momentum. But their teams were at best barely...

I'm glad you wrote this. I'm not enthused with any of the choices, least of all business guy. Did the faculty handle it well? Nope. But that doesn't mean he is a good candidate at all. I don't have a problem with a change up choice, but this isn't it. Finding another Skorton wasn't going...

The promo was stupid. A family of five is a helluva an expensive proposition in Iowa City on gameday no matter. I don't know how many families of five have season tickets, but it can't be many. Not even when it was selling out. As for your opposition to public education, well, I'd rather...

So would you rather live in a place where the local kids go to school or one where they don't? Would you rather spend your time in a Kinnick environment with fans who are focused on the game and cheering or with lards who spend a quarter waiting in concession lines to get a slice of pizza...

I'm surprised this doesn't come up more often. Between over-signing in the SEC (and a few other schools) and the history you note, as a kid and/or a parent, I'm not sure how that doesn't create a gulf of separation between Iowa and every where else? Shada is one example that comes to mind...

Gamedaybriankaldenberg is a polarizing mod? No! He's a uniter!

There was a rush after this game. A bunch of Iowa fans ran down in front of the NW fans and started chanting, "No more rose bowl!" clap, clap, clap-clap-clap. The NW fans were not happy. 11/11/00, that's one game I'll remember as being one of the first flickers of light at the end of the tunnel.

Google "Frank Kinney Holbrook" and "Archibald Alexander". You'll get a history lesson on how progressive Iowa is compared to its slaver state to the south. I want to puke every time I see one of those lame, disgraceful, and confederate traitor flags in Iowa. Long story short if you're lazy...

These are going to fall off if you get taken to the ground again. It just amazes me how some people fail to recognize the easiest way to win a battle is to avoid it in the first place. Good luck finding a lawyer willing to take on your lottery ticket lawsuit: no one who has any experience...

It's not only constitutional, there is a provision for it in the Iowa Code. Write your legislators if you want it repealed: "321K.1 Roadblocks conducted by law enforcement agencies. 1. The law enforcement agencies of this state may conduct emergency vehicle roadblocks in response to...

Not so fast: his first game was in '37 when he was 11. Kinnick was around until the war started in Dec '41. He could have played a round of golf with him when he was 15 and Kinnick in his twenties.

The fact he is just a walk leads me to believe he is not only as big as a statute, but he also has the agility of one.

When will you get the authentic jerseys in again? Next month?

This is equal parts hilarious and pathetic. And yes, that's the envy talking. I would have liked to have seen pics of one vehicle set up for tailgating in a mostly empty lot in front of a totally empty Kinnick. I salute your preparation and attention to detail (though it's very anal...

So what do they smell like?

The key to NM's success lies in a certain magickal t-shirt imbued with the power of the wolf....... Three Alford Moon!!!

As I was driving through Des Moines. The one suggesting "Dirty White Boy" as an intro theme for basketball. Man that had my inner cyclone ROFLMAO. Then I went to the bathroom and flushed my inner cyclone down the toilet.

All of those points are good, though I'd like to see one taken of the list I know I'm being unrealistic. I'm not sure if the kid is smart enough to see the handwriting on the wall and if he isn't, well, I don't think he is a big loss.
