Death, taxes and Iowa punking Nebraska on Black Friday . . .

These are things one can count on in life.

My TwT column this week touches on the phenomenon:

Until the final gun

Iowa football shows grit, heart in beating Nebraska

You said you called the late game turnover.. Here is what I posted in the lounge game thread half way through the 4th quarter.

"Kirk still waiting for their QB to make a huge mistake. Hopefully our D can make that happen"



As someone who grew up in SW Iowa when Nebby was good when I heard they were coming to the BIG I really expected them to be a yearly contender for the conference title.

So glad I was wrong about that.

The crazy thing is I called for a strip-sack with fumble and that's exactly what happened! My seat mate guessed interception. We knew it would be SOMETHING though 😂

Our D line was so good vs Maryland I felt like Raiola would be pressured and throw a late game pick. That was my expectation but the strip sack fumble works just as well. These last 2 losses for Nebby must be just brutal.

I'm a Chiefs and Hawks fan.

During LV's last drive I looked at my buddy and stated "we need something stupid to happen here".

Later that day, Huskers' last drive, my buddy states to me " well it worked earlier...we need something stupid to happen here again..."

Go figure...
