    Coordinators met with Media Today. Marco getting more reps than Deacon. Offense 85% installed

    Kind of what I've been saying for years. I'm no o-line expert but it was painfully obvious they were always in a position to fail. Instead of stretching the field and take some pressure off the blocking personnel Biff's solution was to keep playing in a phone booth against 8-9 fronts but just...

    I got a dime bag at Jimmy John's for lunch

    Jimmy John's is the new subway for me. It once was new and had an edge on the competition, now it's been surpassed by other newer more creative sandwich chains and it just kind of exists. For us it's Jersey Mike's. Really no reason to get anything else. There are more than enough options...

    If we’d never gone to the F4 in 79-80, would we even be this way?

    That was before I was born. I'm 41 now. There have been zero championships and no worthwhile tournament runs in my day. That's unacceptable. As we've seen with the women, the fan base is there and can come to life if there's something to get excited about. Iowa basketball is just groundhog...

    Angel Reese says it was a bad call

    Nah it's going into overtime. But one of those shitty overtimes you don't care about because it's spilling over into the time slot of the game you actually want to see. She'll squeeze another 5 minutes out and then it'll be over and you yell at the TV to not show any post game shit.

    A History of Holiday Inn

    I honestly wonder why that, or something similar, isn't much of a thing anymore. There's no longer an in-between, it's either just a pool or a complete indoor water park. The quad cities one was like a second home when I was a kid. My dad worked at Deere so we got to stay there a lot if he...

    Bridge Collapse Baltimore

    One hit the Julien dubuque bridge between Dubuque and illinois roughly 15 years ago. It did no damage. It was closed for a few days for safety inspections but it cleared with no repairs. I think that was more of a nudge though, the pilot was trying to reverse after straying off its path for...

    NFL bans controversial hip-drop tackle

    Imagine going back in time and explaining modern football rules and salaries to an NFL guy wearing a leather hat that doubled as a lunchbox and had a regular job in the off-season, maybe during the season as well.

    Bridge Collapse Baltimore

    I have to assume that happens from now on since we have a modern example. Their called 'dolphins' and after the Skyway bridge disaster they built them to protect the new one. I don't think they're commonplace though, I think the Skyway is a rare example.

    Bridge Collapse Baltimore

    I mentioned the Skyway collapse in Tampa in another post. In that case the one survivor that went over the edge was a retired navy guy that credited that training for escaping his truck and surviving.

    Bridge Collapse Baltimore

    Wanna see some real final destination shit? This is a pretty famous crash on the opening lap of the Indy 500 back in the 90s. That's Stan Foxx and yes his car literally ripped in half and was spinning through the catch fence at 200 miles per hour with his legs hanging out. He survived this...

    Bridge Collapse Baltimore

    The original Skyway bridge over the opening of Tampa Bay got hit and collapsed in 1980. It was a low visibility day and a local pilot was in command taking it into port. He drove into a support pier just like this and the man span fell into the bay. Few vehicles were actually on it at the...

    Where does Brian end up?

    From what I gather it doesn't expire until June 24th. So he's still got a couple months of pay coming. I imagine if he were able to get another job he'd forfeit that. That's a couple hundred grand he gets to keep vs a menial analyst job which is the best he'd likely get..

    Would you take Iowa’s defense…

    I would. Maybe another team edges them out, but it wouldn't be by much. This years offense literally can no longer get worse, so with any improvement they finally get a 'complementary' assist from.the offense for a change. Keep in mind how much they were on the field due to the galaxy's worst...

    *****Iowa vs Utah Game Thread*****

    Another rebound Utah got because the Iowa guy waited for it to get to him. Hapoen e right before the half as well. Game after game, year after year those are the hustle plays they get killed on.

    *****Iowa vs Utah Game Thread*****

    Are they even there? Their audio and cadence seems off like they're calling it remotely. I know it's the NIT, but seems they should actually send someone to a game with big ten and pac 12 teams...

    Stop the DeVries talk

    Nope, got all Urban Meyer-y with a chick in a bar and got fired from Bowling Green. (Something in the water there?). The Iowa city moral police and cancel culture would never allow it. I for one would be ok with it though. True story, Chris Jans was the basketball instructor at a sports camp...

    Do any of you live on the beach on the gulf?

    We have a gulf front timeshare in Treasure Island Florida (south of clearwater) we go to for one week every February. Its a fixed week in an owner incorporated property, not some kind of RCI or other vacation thing. Meaning we are actually deeded 1/52nd of that actual condo on specified dates...

    Washington Post story on Kim Mulkey

    Lol. That's a pretty lengthy prepared statement during tournament time to address not answering a question because it's tournament time.
