Why is Nebber such a lil bro to Iowa?? Why can’t they compete at our level?

I saw a post on their board talking about how “jealous” Iowa fans are of their history. It tells a lot about their mindset. I have never met an Iowa fan who cares about Nebraska’s titles, other than being sick of hearing about them. They have an immense sense of arrogance that bleeds into the program, creating the thuggish culture we’ve witnessed under multiple coaches there. They cling desperately to “blue blood” status, but nobody cares about a game from 30 years ago

Good MAGA morning.,,

Anybody remember when Hillary conducted classified government business on a private home server - deleted 30k emails and smashed her cell phones and nobody (Wray) cared? Or Uncle Joe was too old to be prosecuted like Trump for handlind of classified documents yet remained President? White house cocaine?🤷‍♂️ Fauci? Pelosi? Ukraine$$$?The list is never ending. Welcome aboard Mr. Patel. Sorely needed.

Incoming vs Outgoing

If Iowa wins eight or more games next season, it will be a minor miracle. Replace 2024 games with Northwestern, @Maryland, Washington, and @UCLA with 2025 games against Penn State, @Rutgers, Indiana, and @USC and you’ve got a recipe for disaster.
??? Disaster? Rutgers is 4-5 in B1G play. When have they beat Iowa or really been a concern? It totally remains to be seen what Indiana is next year with most all of their transfers gone. They lost handily to the only really good team they played this year and we play at Kinnick. USC? Whatever. PSU at Kinnick. We beat them at home more often the not, and they always have the better roster. I'll bet our offense is better next season, the defense will be better then people think, and special teams will be top notch. Lets play the games.....

Congrats to Iowa State

Congrats on being in the weakest conference, for an easier playoff path. Brilliant foresight.
Yeah, Do you think Iowa would go undefeated in the B12, I don't think so. The B10 has a lot of dead weight in football, take out Ohio State, Oregon, and Michigan they are no better than anyone else. By the way, the weak ISU did beat Iowa this year. I think someone is butthurt because ISU won 10 games is going to their championship game with a shot of a playoff birth.

This might be a little tougher than Putin thought...

The plunging ruble is starting to affect Chinese companies. They don’t care about Ukrainian territorial integrity, or civilians being massacred, but they might be more inclined to push for peace if it hurts them in the wallet.

Rutgers "Insider" Claims Elite Guys Leaving Both PSU and Iowa

Maybe that’s true, but if you go back and read through some of these posts going into nationals last year, many of you were predicting him as an All-American.
What’s your point? Based on how he was wrestling at the time, Glazier had a shot at getting to All-American. He didn’t get the job done. Us predicting/hoping he would make it isn’t the same thing as him being a consistently All-American caliber wrestler

JonBenet Ramsey

These documentaries can really skew perception. One I watched had me 70% convinced it had to be the family. After reading up on everything I was more like 50/50. Now after this documentary I’m thinking maybe 15% chance it was the parents. The police work was awful in hindsight, but they arrive thinking she has been taken from the house, find the note (which was so strangely written) was from Patsy’s notebook, then Jon Benets body is found in the basement. I guess I can see why they zeroed in on the Ramseys, even though they probably didn’t do it with what is known now.
Absolutely they can skew. But it really does a thorough job making its points, and there are so many people in this pointing out the numerous shoddy, sometimes downright incompetent police work. And the reasons the public was so confused are so common: an investigator who was a genius in his own mind has made his mind up, a journalist was all too willing to print police leaks by this guy to feed the media frenzy, and a lazy national media lapped it up in all its sensationalism. Meanwhile, the boring and old Denver detective, who was doing the boring work of actually getting the little facts right in order to eliminate theories, was getting closer to the truth than anyone. And it doesn’t seem he has a tie to this doc, nor is he interviewed (though I’m not completely done with it).
^ Always thought the circumstances of how she was found was a set up. You conduct a first search but don’t find her laying in the middle of a room or turn the light on; you conduct a second search with a good friend so you are not alone when you find her?

I did think the top grade investigator cop who came in later made some great points and his theories were more likely.
I think you are talking about the same investigator. Older guy at the time, with a reputation of solving hard cases?

Kash Patel FBI director.

I am a little worried that Wray will have to be dragged kicking and screaming from the office ... so I am wondering if he can be fired for cause? Specifically, since he is tied to Russia-Gate, Russia-Gate, could he be fired for corruption? Or charged with crimes by the DOJ? I certainly do not want him to be pardoned or granted immunity in exchange for his testimony.

Can he be charged with "Lying to the FBI?" while essentially being the FBI? ... sort of like Trump being charged with holding classified documents even though legally/technically he is the guy for whom they were marked "Classified?"

In any case, I have stated on numerous occasions that a top Trump priority should be to clean up the mess at the Justice Department and at the FBI. This is a home-run pick.

Speaking of posters who have gone off the rails. You also posted that Trump was a good Christian and Melania was having a terrific influence on him. Apparently highlighted by his atrocious Thanksgiving message.

You are brain dead.

When did you realize your kid was/wasn't game for extra competitive sports?

Not every kid is destined to earn a college scholarship. Forcing them to play will only get them to hate it more. Sometimes, it take high school before they start getting serious about a sport. Hopefully they just get passionate about something. Even better if the thing they get passionate about can be molded into a career. He's 12, I wouldn't worry too much. I wouldn't worry if it never happens so long as he can stay motivated enough to get schoolwork done.
I was about to post something along these lines. Getting an athletic scholarship is one of the tougher things to do. I have two 5 year old girls but my wife and I have made a choice to focus way more into the education side of things at an early age and see where that takes us.

Just getting into the school system but I think it is so weird to do travel teams at such a young age.

End of the OSU/Michigan game

Sure looked like it. Will be interesting to see what, if any, punishment is handed out. That was the only part of the game I saw. Was the rest of it chippy?
No. There were a few post game mix ups yesterday due to away teams planting flags on the home teams logo in rivalry games.

My thoughts on Tim Lester

Total offense ranking last year 132
This year 114

70 yds more a game.

Pts per game way up to 28….15 last year

Not as much improvement as we would like but improvement nonetheless.

I think the jury is still out. He took over a train wreck offense.
How much of that improvement was KJ and for a couple games at least a mobile quarterback? Those slightly improved numbers and an 8-4 record mask inherent weaknesses in Kirk’s offense and his inability to recruit better athletes at offensive skill positions. Those issues are still there.

Can Lester make a difference? Remains to be seen. I’m not optimistic about next year.
