This year marks the 40th anniversary of the iconic Cold War thriller "Red Dawn,"

Young Lucas wanted to repopulate America with Lea Thompson and Jennifer Grey.
Powers Booth added that gravitas those young, rugged warriors needed. Forget the plot line about how the Russkies and Cubans would seize every mountain pass in the Rockies with paratroopers on flights disguised as commercial airline flights. Forget how they got their BMPs and supplies in. Forget how the one thing you cannot do is get the guns from American's hands. That was a helluva 1980s movie.
It wasn't one of Hollywood's best scripts, but it fed a lot of RW enthusiasts wildest dreams. Got to remember also it came out in the Reagan years when he told Gorbachev to tear down that wall.

Amerika! lol

Ryan Day

He can’t win with 40 plus four and five star guys. How does he win with two and three star guys and the occasional four or five stars?

I will say, Day can’t be blamed for the terrible qb play and bad kicking but it’s his responsibility as HC.
Lets be fair here. Is Kirk not blamed for poor QB play or other positions? Was Howard the best guy THEY could get? How many QB's have transferred out of OSU in the last 4 years? Did he keep the right ones?

Ohio State

Ohio State was a 20.5 point favorite today.

They are now 10-2, won't play in the B1G title game, and essentially are the 3rd best team in the B1G.

They have spent $20M in NIL on this roster.

National Championship or bust for Ryan Day, imo.

110%. He either finds a way to win it all or is looking for a new gig after this season imho

For those wanting Kirk Ferentz gone

Ponder this. Someday KF retires and maybe our next guy provides an uptick in recruiting to the point that we routinely blow out the teams in our region and have competitive games going to the 4th with the big dogs. Hmmmmmmmm
Yeah but that doesn't work because all these guys believe it's an impossibility that Iowa's program could actually get better under new coaches. KF is the best we could ever hope for, the best Iowa could ever do, and so we need to hang on to him and pray he never leaves.

Ryan Day

Good lord, if he is canned, Iowa should pay Kirk whatever it needs to get Kirk down the road. Ryan Day is a good coach.
Is he? I'm not being critical. I'm saying based on the talent he has available? Losing record to Michigan. (this year a 6-5 Michigan team). 3-7 against other top 5 ranked teams. Zero B1G championships last 4 years. I mean he's a good coach I guess, but is he REALLY an upgrade over the coaches at the top 7 or 8 other conference schools as HC? Based on what?

Props to the crowd

It was a shame how much red there was last night, out of the group of season ticket holders around us, I'd say it was 7/10 that sold their tickets.
Yeah, pretty much the entire row behind us must be season tickets owned by brokers who resell tickets every game. Iowa St and Nebby fans for those games. People like that p*ss me off and I wish there were a way to police that sh*t.

"Max takes the ball from Mahomes Jr and here we go." Drew Stevens is MONEY one year after getting benched

Sweet part was when Rhule called TO, Stevens nailed that one too! He was like hey F'er I am making the kick no matter. Our angle made it look cleaner than it ended up just inside the upright.
And Rhule was requesting a delay of game penalty for the kick at the time out. What a putz.
