    Game Day Rituals During A Bye...

    So I find myself engaging in my regular weekly game day ritual during bye weeks. It obviously didn't carry over after the last bye and my wife thinks it just displays poor hygiene on my part. Therefore I want to know if others do or don't so I am posting a poll to get an idea if this is a...

    You can thank me later

    I traveled Monday down to central Missouri to view the eclipse. Seizing on the opportunity I carried my 2017 game day tee shirt w/ me. I also wore my 2009 game day shirt. Astrophysics being what they are I wanted to use the Solar Lunar Terran conduit to transfer the 2009 shirt's mojo to this...

    7 months...

    7 months is the combined jail time for Curley, Schultz and Spanier's involvement in the Jerry Sandusky abuse scandal cover-up. There is some house arrest time and a token fine thrown on top for good measure. The Daily Mail Story sums up the sordid tale pretty concisely.

    Interesting Stats article

    This study was NFL related but I have to think it probably applies to college ball too. https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/nfl-coaches-yell-at-refs-because-it-freakin-works/ If the synopsis in this piece is accurate then there is a strategy to be had for where to get aggressive when defending.

    Stanford Band Suspended

    No mention of the 2016 Rose Bowl or Iowa but glad to see this: http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-stanford-band-suspended-20161209-story.html Mostly because of off field liability surrounding reports of substance abuse. I take it they don't care about the on field irreverence but...

    Davis talks CJ

    The wife saw this and thought it was interesting. He also has good thing to say about Scheel and Kittle in the story that goes with the video interview but the link to that escapes me right now. http://www.desmoinesregister.com/videos/sports/college/iowa/football/2016/08/06/88350874/

    Babineaux and Clayborn...

    Babineaux and Clayborn come up big in the Falcon's win over the Panthers. They kept pressure on Cam Newton and he never really looked comfortable. Babineaux had a sack and Clayborn recovered a fumble to end the Panthers' comeback drive.

    KF Sideline Meltdown

    We really wondered what had KF so worked up on the sideline. I figured maybe it was a cheap shot on one of the players like the last trip to Lincoln. I recorded the game so I watched that sequence again. Turns out the line judge missed an illegal touch. The TE (#11) that caught the pass for...

    Scoring the D vs. UNI

    LB play late allows me to bring their execution level up to 50%. A lot of work to do in pass coverage. They have the talent and didn't give up. Bower's play was the bright spot. CB play around 75%. King was really good, couldn't believe they tried to burn him in the endzone and great...

    Audio testing at Kinnick Stadium July 30-Aug. 9

    http://now.uiowa.edu/2014/07/audio-testing-kinnick-stadium-july-30-aug-9 About time. Professional Audio has jumped on the Moore cycle. Once the digital bandwagon became accepted it has done nothing but accelerate. Equipment now becomes "obsolete" instead of just wearing out. Hope they...
