Just when you think NIL can't get any more crazy....

The late hit call was absolute bullshit gifting them 3 I'll start there. However, the last 3 drives on O we didn't do jack shit and got way too conservative. As soon as I think Sully is the guy he looks like deer in headlights on basic elements of the game. Iowa should have won this game and yet pissed it away again by their own doing. I don't know what to think about next season but I'm getting sick of this shit.

🤔

Just finished up a rough look at what Iowa's defensive depth chart could look like in 2025.

Some thoughts, nuggets from bowl prep, where the Hawkeyes have question marks and need portal additions, + more.

STORY:

Sounds like he's arguing with some HROTers.

Me(age 13), my younger brother (age 11), and my dad went to an Iowa vs. ISU meet in 1981. It was in the Fieldhouse and it was packed! The weather was horrible. The Iowa Highway Patrol updated the weather in between each match. The meet was almost over and Lou Banach was wrestling Wayne Cole. Cole took Banach to his back, but then Banach was given an injury timeout (I think it was an ankle problem). At that point we thought the match was over so we were leaving to get to our car. Before we got outside there was a gigantic roar and we ran back just in time to see Banach pin Cole!

I watched many meets on PBS, but this was the first one in person.

3-80 wasn't there yet so we traveled on Highway 218. It took us two hours to get home(usually it took us around 30/40 minutes. We lived in Cedar Rapids.). My mom was not happy with my dad for taking us out in a blizzard!

My dad also tapped meets when they were on PBS and would mail them to me when I lived out of state. I was a wrestling junky and I could not wait to get my next fix!

This is the story that got me hooked on all things Iowa Hawkeye Wrestling.

Sadly my dad is no longer with us. He died from Parkinson's and dementia some years ago.

I would appreciate any donations. Right now I am sitting at $1065.00 and in first place in the team standings. I would love to get at least $1500.00 and more would be awesome.

Thank you!

I'm gonna try to hide this here, but over on the main Rivals board, I'm in the process of entrapping a Nebraska troll, of whom some or many of you are familiar with.

He is the mentally disturbed individual that like spams posts on this website with disposable usernames/accounts often mocking Iowa, the fans, etc.

He's more prevalent on the FB boards, but has occasionally been seen like spamming on the bball, HBOT, and wrestling boards as well. So while I'm attempting to "hide" this thread here on the wrestling board, I'm not operating under the illusion that this troll won't see it, which is fine.

I don't mind at all if he finds out that he's been set up.

With that out of the way, all I ask from my fellow Hawk fans, is to click the link to the thread below and vote for Nebraska in the poll. I know most of you probably can't post on that main board unless you are subscribed to Rivals or your account was grandfathered in, but you should still be able to vote, and that's all that's needed.

The poll itself is merely a ruse to draw out as many of the spam accounts by this Nebraska fan so that the mods can delete them. There's already 28 accounts that he's created just to vote in this poll and unwittingly shared for the mods to delete.

I simply ask that you all help finish the job by helping Iowa win the poll and get the last laugh, as well.

P.S. please do be sure to read the poll first before voting

The Vikings lead the Packers at the half 13-3.

TJ was targeted 5 times and had 5 catches for 68 yards (28 was the long).

Sam Darnold was 17-22 (77%) for 184 yds and 1 TD pass.

just kidding.

she's loaded!

Everyone was ripping on Indiana last night after losing to ND in such a lopsided way. As it turns out, 24 hours later all the other lower seeded teams got smoked in the same fashion. The 12 team playoff is just a ruse. A feel good hopeful moment for the teams that really don't belong against the blue bloods. And then reality will sink in. Football isn't basketball where a team can get hot for a couple days and make a deep run. In summary, the CFP sucks. And it shows even more that the Hawks will never be NT winners. Booooooooooooo!

Some people are very slow learners:

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — The city of Grand Rapids says the Donald J. Trump for President 2024 campaign has refused to pay more than $49,000 in bills for two rallies in the city this year.

That is forcing the city to write off those expenses as uncollectable and to reevaluate policies for future campaign visits.

The unpaid invoices are for two rallies that drew thousands into the city, both at the Van Andel Arena.

Grand Rapids billed Trump’s campaign nearly $33,000 for his rally in July — the biggest chunks for overtime for police and its public works department.

The bill was due in October and went unpaid.

“It’s highly unusual to have outstanding bills, especially with someone who clearly had raised enough money from their campaign to pay their bills,” said outgoing Grand Rapids Mayor Rosalynn Bliss.

DER went from 93 to 129. lol

Dropped to 46 on Torvik, DER went from 89 to 123.

Now THAT is an historic ass whooping.

Council Bluffs will be home to a new $11 million study being conducted by the University of Iowa researchers.
The university is launching a study on different ways to store carbon dioxide emissions, according to a news release.
MidAmerican Energy agreed to partner with the university to use the company's Walter Scott, Jr. Energy Center south of Council Bluffs as the study's location.
The center is a coal-fired power plant in Council Bluffs on top of the Midcontinent Rift System. The formation holds about a 6-mile-thick area of basalt, which researchers are examining to see whether it could store carbon dioxide.

To do this, the project will drill about 5,000 feet into the site to gather data and rock samples which will then be tested for carbon dioxide injection simulations.

“It's these predictive models that really kind of help us identify if this is even going to work in this location or not,” said Ryan Clark, a geologist at the University of Iowa.

The study will be a two-year project for $11.3 million, of which 20% will be funded by MidAmerican Energy. The U.S. Department of Energy will contribute $9 million toward the research.
“We are participating and contributing to the study because we view this as an important project that will help researchers determine whether carbon storage in the basalt formation deep below our facility is viable,” said Geoff Greenwood, media relations manager at MidAmerican Energy.
The injection of carbon dioxide under the Earth’s surface is not a new concept but is new to Iowa. Clark pointed out that many states around Iowa are already researching and moving toward this method.


“It has a really huge air quality benefit, not only, you know, kind of regionally and big picture, but it would have a really significant effect on the improving air quality there, locally,” Clark said.
Clark said that the project is not only conducted solely by the University of Iowa. While the school is the lead, it has partnered with a consulting firm, a drilling company and the Pacific Northwest National Lab.

“I want to make sure that folks know that it's, it's definitely a pretty good-sized project team that's got a lot of experience and should help us succeed in this,” Clark said.
