Cy-ing over spilt milk... CF boards are filled with blubbering masses

- Start date
And for absolutely no reason, other than bowl eligibility. There is absolutely no way either of those schools are playing for their championship game. It would be a money maker for both programs, and you wouldn't have to pay a shitty FCS program over a million to come into Jack Tryce to get their asses kicked.
That's an excellent consideration. If a defender puts a hat directly on the ball ... it's hard for anybody NOT to fumble. If a D-lineman deflects a perfectly well-thrown ball ... it still, all of a sudden, can become a perfectly "pickable" ball. The randomness of turnovers doesn't always fall the same way twice. However, it IS true that coaches CAN try to coach things in such a manner to encourage good ball security. If a team has good special teams play, has a very good defense, and doesn't turn over the ball ... then at least you're not beating yourself. Plenty of other teams are less careful ... so you can sometimes pick up wins by having the other team essentially "beat themselves." If your O also proves competent ... then you can potentially win even more games. It's a pretty basic formula ... and it's one that BOTH Campbell and Ferentz seem to have embraced.
ISU already has lost as many fumbles this season as it did all last season.
Yeah ... but Epenesa is a freak. He's going to do that quite a bit this year for the Hawks.
Disagree about Campbell’s window closing soon. He’s only 41 i think this year. I think he’ll push hard at the OSU job if/when Urban leaves or possibly Notre Dame. He’s young enough he doesn’t have to jump at the first opportunity.
Holy cow that is pathetic. They honestly tried to get a game with drake. Maybe they should try upper Iowa or wartburg while they are at it. I was think maybe with the hurricane this weekend could free up some teams but 2 games cancelled I doubt will help too much. Most are moving up game time or location.
Nc State vs wvu (big 12) and unc (0-2 not going to a bowl) vs UCF are the 2 games. Very unlikely could get game with 3 non big 12 teams.

I always thought Iowa would be better off if ISU was in the MAC.
I can’t believe how many Hawkeye fans want to see a good ISU because ‘it’s good for the state or it helps Iowa’s SOS’.
I’m sure it’s because both teams wanted a home game. I think ISU Nebraska would be a good matchup. One of the schools should agree to play in December away, in return for a return trip in the future to be agreed upon.
I've said before that I miss playing Nebraska. The series was competitive in the last few years of its existence, as NU got worse and ISU got better. But there isn't much reason for NU to want to resume the series, except it was always a good road game for Husker fans.
Helps us how? Maybe getting into a slightly better bowl game. But I think ISU's final record has little or no impact on a potential playoff spot for Iowa. If Iowa runs the table in the BIG, including the championship game, then they are in the playoffs. Any loss and they have no chance.
Cover your eyes.... if you want a preview, on Friday night the Animal Channel will be showing graphic video of hungry lions taking down wounded gazelles and wolf packs invading a hen house.
Then pollard is a way bigger pussy than I ever thought before. This is incredibly stupid not to solve both problems in scheduling the game. Neither program is good enough to accomplish anything nationally this year as both are building. Would be a great competitive game for both at the end and great for their fans
Clowns and UNI being better, same with b10 west...forces us to get better. That is the reason
