I realize that eventually you have to move on and let go of the mental anguish, but I heard an interesting rumor today. My cousin informed me that certain fans sitting closer to the field just prior to the kicker kicking the second onside kick hear a loud "officials whistle" sound. Looking at...

So who's going to the Creighton game on Sunday in Des Moines. I'm in. 4 of us going. Pretty sure you'll be able to enjoy a beer there while you watch as well.

Don't punch your TV set. You may not like the commentary and play by play from what I read. ESPN 2 has it with the same crew that I think did the Pitt game. IMHO I thought the game last time with this crew was poorly called. A ton of mispronounced names as well as wrong first names. Just a heads...

Jake C. must still haunt Kirk Ferentz's dreams. The 2007 year in which Iowa did not make a bowl game was a lost recruiting season for Iowa. That was a season in which expectations were really high and JC was pegged as the man with a strong arm who could lead Iowa into uncharted territory...

Think he gets the record this week? Tied it this last weekend, right?

This sets up the possibility of having a football playoff. There obviously can still be other bowl-games, but for champions what do you do and where do you hold it? Are we talking an NCAA final four like in basketball where you have 2 semis and the championship over a weekend? Where would you...

I think I've got the training strategy for the defense this week. Norm takes them to a chicken farm (free-range of course, confinement would be close). Once there, let the chickens out and first to catch a chicken gets to sit out next round. Do that like 12 to 15 times and I think you've got a...

With McCall out for the year, who does Iowa turn to to be next man in after Coker needs a rest? The only back I saw on Sat. was Coker.

After watching the Twins lead late in games against the Yankees, for several years now, lose it late, it is nice to see them get one this evening in the Bronx. A little bit sweeter in how they won late and gave the Yanks a taste of the medicine they've been dishing out to the Twins for the last...

After watching last night Bears/Vikings game, how rookie Corey Wooton came into the game to replace a lineman then took Brett Farve out of the game, I'm convinced this guy's tackling style is dirty. It seems to be a very violent takedown, kind of like a wrestling move. If the twisting motion...

To Boston to join newly acquired Adrian Gonzalez. It looks like the Tampa Bay Rays will suck again. Not only Carl Crawford, but supposedly there are many other key players in free agency this offseason. Very early and already some huge moves are being made and a lot of dough being spent.

Looks like the game will most likely be cold and possibly rainy. Perhaps Iowa won't be as pass happy has they have been the past couple of games. Your thoughts?

Looking back on this game it seemed to be fairly clear by halftime that Michigan State had come from behind or made so many plays to swing momentum the past few games, they had nothing left to show the Hawks. Play all your good cards early, have nothing left by the time you go down. I think they...

Do they really want to join the Big Ten? Really? In any given week any team can take it, save for maybe Indiana and Minny right now. This game just serves a reminder to me how tough it is to do what Ohio State does year in and year out. Even good teams lose in this league.

Said that Fran has slimmed down the whole team in an effort to have them ready to run, run, run. Gatens has dropped 20# and is back to driving and dunking again. Eric May is also expected to be the returning player to most benefit from being in a full court offense. Coach Caff talked about...

With the game on the line the O-line couldn't fend off AZ. Stanzi also couldn't find the hot route. I guess the OL still has some work to do. Just too many mistakes early to overcome. I would have liked to have seen what this game would have been if.... -Iowa's first punt is clean. -McNutt...

Does this team have some burners or what? Give them a couple more years to develop their OL and they'll have some weapons. McCluster, Arenas, Charles, etc. A lot of homerun hitters there.

A lot of people talking about it, but I have yet to see an actual thread that breaks it down. Anybody care to enlighten me on the division announcement? I get the IA and Neb in same division and IA's protected rivalry is Purdue but I don't know the divisions. Thanks in advance.

Did anybody see the Twins and Yankees last night? Petitte came out and took his eight warm up tosses. Then the catcher has a little discussion with him to seem to stall and then Girardi calls in Rivera from the pen to close it out. Shouldn't have the Yankees been forced to have Pettite throw to...

Just into the second month of the season and the Minnesota Twins have already won another series! Only dropped one series all season. This is pretty exciting for a club that usually plays catchup all season long. So exciting watching the games at Target Field. The energy in the crowd is really...
