    James Franklin 5 minute damage control video on faking injuries

    Yep. That, and taking that long to make your points comes off as covering up and and trying to spin it. Pretty much a "tell" they've been caught.

    Has anyone actually charted the "injuries"?

    Franklin calls out Hawk fans

    This goes both ways. I re-watched it finally and some injuries seemed legit to me, and of course some were questionable too. On defense, the injuries to their #17-Ebiketie and #1-Brister were questionable, as they returned after missing 4 plays for Ebiketie and 1 play for Brister. They then...

    Deace's Meltdown

    I'm glad you posted this as these were my exact thoughts as well. Back when Iowa lost to Michigan with really questionable officiating and Witvoet on the crew, Deace didn't have a problem with it then. And like you reference in Iowa's losses -- I find it really hard to believe that NDSU...

    Villanova game thread

    Truth. Villanova is shooting really well, but how about we play some defense. Shooters wide open, no hands in face, very little rebounding. The lack of effort from this team is really frustrating. Is Villanova playing over aggressive D and getting away with some stuff? Sure. Then why...

    Daniels

    It might be a bit too predictable to simply have Daniels insides and Wadley outside. It's already pretty predictable when Mitchell is in. Credit MSU, their D was legit. I don't think it would've mattered how we tried to run it.

    The conundrum -- and it's not on Kirk

    I would've preferred we let them score after the 4th and 2 conversion to give the offense a chance. If the defense couldn't stop a 4th and 2, it's not going to stop 4 plays within the 5. That said, great effort by the Hawks, proud of the team and year. Tough, tough game. I take no shame in...

    One last closing note on Nebby in 2015 ...

    My take is Nebraska fans are pretty much like any of the other B1G teams out there. They may have had a perception of friendly and cordial, but it's not true. My in-laws are all in/from Nebraska (the wife is from Lincoln) and they aren't taking the losses well, especially the Iowa one. Just...

    WTF??????

    The only way for a fake FG call to work is to let the clock run down to 2 seconds left. If a timeout is called right after the third down fell short, there would be too much time on the clock, and raise suspicion that Iowa would either be going for it on 4th down, or possibly running a surprise...

    Miller: A Revealing Loss in Ames

    The article mentions the lack of dline size, and thought I heard on sound off, that the dline weighs about 30lbs less than the line we had last year? Paraphrasing the article, that the size issue can only be addressed with off season work outs. We had what, 2 years of Clayborn, Klug, Ballard...

    Butler/Pitt

    I'm usually critical of the refs, but in this case they got it right, and kudos to them for having the courage to call it. I'm glad they didn't swallow the whistle for the last seconds of the game. Just a crazy ending and still can't believe the pitt guy committed that foul. I'm with tm3308...

    Traveling/Cartwright "foul"

    So are you saying, if you are the ref 40 feet out, you believe you would have a better view and perspective that a player was touched than a ref from 3 feet? Sure sounds that way.

    Traveling/Cartwright "foul"

    Not4cy and EddyP, could not agree with you two more. I was not upset about the call, more upset that a ref 40 feet away felt the need to override a ref 2-3 feet away. Reminded me of a suspect spot in a Fiesta Bowl with Texas and Ohio State on a late 4th down. Ref on the sideline about 5...
