Overrated? If Settles hadn't injured his back as a Sophomore IMO he would have been All-American by the time he left. He had some unreal moves around the basket, could shoot the mid-range jumper, and rebounded like a maniac.

I didn't get that from his commentary. But then we had to listen to Jimmy Jackson fawn over the Buckeyes a couple of weeks ago, so even if Settles was a bit of a homer it paled in comparison.

I went to a Vikings game at the dome a few years back when the high temp was -5. If you stood outside tailgating longer than five minutes, your beer turned to slush. Damn it was nice watching that game indoors!

My nephew wouldn't make a very comely woman and he's not an ex-Hawk, but he's doing just fine selling pharmaceuticals.

Wilson threw some Petras-like passes.

A little bit of hyperbole from Fryiowa, eh?

Are you talking about Gavin Williams or Kaleb Johnson? It seems to me that Kaleb's two long runs were pretty important, especially the first one where he refused to be tackled.

No Petras hasn't grown. But that is not what I'm talking about. I hear that regression crap from a guy I work with all the time. It's BS. Stanley improved every year. Stanzi improved every year. Ruddock improved every year. Maybe you don't think players being injured is an excuse, but that's...

I guess you haven't figured out yet that he didn't know the video he made was directed at Brian Ferentz. There's one from McCaffrey also, and you know he wouldn't have done it if he knew what it was about. Those videos were from Cameo, and they just give them a script and they read or ad lib...

O-line? The O-line in 2007 was the worst in memory. I felt sorry for Christensen that year, there would be a defender in his face immediately after the snap. I think he lost all confidence. The same thing may have happened to Petras.

The tired narrative of QBs getting worse under Ferentz needs to be retired. Stanzi was statistically much better his senior year, though the team record didn't reflect it due to late game defensive collapses (mostly due to no depth on the D-line). If I remember correctly, the Hawks led in the...

I don't know if this has been said, but the thread title is BS. Tracy had one catch for eight yards and at least one drop. Jones, on the other hand...

Thanks for answering that for me. Lou also won a gold medal in wrestling in the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. The Banach twins were incredible to watch wrestle. Ed wrestled at 190, won 3 NCAA titles and also won a gold medal in the 1984 Summer Olympics.

Lou Banach would like a word with you.

With the advent of NIL, will recruits to teams like Penn State want their names on the back on their jerseys? Sounds like a no-brainer to me.

If you like lagers, Ruthie from Exile Brewing in Des Moines, Gable from Single Speed in Waterloo, and Dorothy's from Toppling Goliath in Decorah are excellent. I also like a good dunkel like Backpocket's Slingshot and most stouts.

You may be a supertaster like me. I was a very picky eater as a child. "Supertasters are particularly sensitive to bitter flavors in foods such as broccoli, spinach, coffee, beer, and chocolate." I can't stand IPA's or other hoppy beers, which seem to be about all you can find at bars besides...

Aidan O'Connell loses his #1 receiver for the season because of grades. His childhood friend is looking at being #2 or 3 on the Iowa depth chart. You don't suppose he might have called Charlie Jones up for a chat, do you?

Some of you must not have watched Ivey play much last year. He flashed brilliance occasionally, but also disappeared for long stretches or made dumbass plays. Murray is a much better choice.

I don't think Kris will be fighting for a guard spot.
