The rest of the prep begins soon. Pray for my septic system. Not going to be a fun night.

don’t just clear the windows, do the hood and roof too. Nothing more infuriating than driving at 75 mph getting pelted with ice/snow because you’re too ****ing lazy. If you can’t do this, stay off the roads.

Maybe not as bad as predicted? Big 12 maybe not as good as advertised?
Wisc. over Arizona
Michigan over TCU.

Then, Purdue over #2 Alabama
Iowa over Wash St.

Good night for the BIG

So everybody sees this and it's not stuck in another thread.

Or when I learned to hate Northwestern and B1G officiating.

The 2010 Orange Bowl mentioned in several bowl-related threads prompted a visit to the online archives and brought back a flood of memories of when Kirk Ferentz actually had a decent football teams.

One that stands out is the 2009 squad that was 9-0 and potentially headed to an undefeated season when the lowly Wildcats came to town. Iowa had jumped out to a 10-0 lead and the defense had forced a punt which put the Hawks at their own 6.

On second down Ricky Stanzi ran a naked bootleg which was read perfectly by the Northwestern defense. Corey Wooten pulled Stanzi down awkwardly in the end zone. Stanzi fumbled and Northwestern recovered for the touchdown. What was worse, Stanzi lay on the ground in great pain, having severely injured his right ankle. He left the game and freshman James Vandenberg took over but was a less than adequate replacement and Iowa lost. Worse, Stanzi required surgery and was out for the season.

What was especially maddening was that during the sack Stanzi’s facemask was grabbed, twisting his head and body and possibly contributing to Stanzi’s injury.

The foul which would have negated the sack and the NW touchdown was totally missed by the Big Ten officials.

Me… absolutely not

Iowa Hawkeyes​

We’ve seen enough of the Kirk Ferentz model to know that the Iowa Hawkeyes aren’t an attractive landing spot for top quarterback recruits, but that doesn’t mean they won’t try to land one.

The Hawkeyes are a consistently above-average football team without ever having a quarterback, which is the selling point. That being said, it’s career suicide if Moss has NFL aspirations unless he can break the cycle of bad Iowa QBs.

If Iowa can find the funding to coax a top transfer to Iowa City, the Hawkeyes are a real threat to compete for Big Ten championships. As it stands, the next talented quarterback transfer will be their first, and I’m in wait-and-see mode until someone finally decides to take the risk.

Malachi Coleman, a former 4-star prospect from Lincoln, plans to enter the portal and would have three years of eligibility remaining. The Hawks offered him out of high school. Perhaps he could be the "player to be named later" in exchange for Oliver Martin.

good news for the DE position.

It is great to be an Iowa Wrestling fan.

Go Hawks!

Looks like Iowa stopped in to see a 2025 target yesterday.

I recognize the no pre-snap motion, bland formations with 9 players on the LOS, the short side of the field stretch runs into a crowded LOS, the audible runs into stuffed A and B gaps, 1st down runs no matter what, and the general garbage lack of imagination plays and play calling.

Welcome back, Brian!
