Very well written;concise, and to the point. I agree with much of what you say for last season. Minnesota was much stronger, Mizzu was good, Cornell,tOSU,PSU, the Pokes. It was somewhat of a murderous dual season. This year not so much, and it was clear when the schedule came out it wouldn't be. My wife even commented on the "piss poor schedule". Midlands being down didn't help either. You argued well and I have considered your input both useful and informative. What is the RPI at this time?

I don't think RPI comes out until after the national duals. Here is last years.

Thanks Don. I couldn't find it, but thought maybe they did a week to week like football.
Hey guys, we have a place for the never-ending thread. It's called "Brody Grothus"
The Brody Grothus thread is insulted by the comparison to this tiny thread.
Thanks for the link. The article really explains a lot.
Barnstorming around the country to promote the sport is nothing new for Iowa. The Hawkeyes have gone to Edinboro (2013), Buffalo (2012), Tennessee-Chattanooga (2012), Bucknell (2009), and Boise State (2008) since Brands took over as head coach in 2006.
"We look to get out and promote and we haven't been out west (in a few years)," Brands said. "There are two programs out there -- the University of Great Falls and Montana State-Northern. (Associate head coach) Terry (Brands) used to work out there. Terry coached (Montana State-Northern head coach) Terry Thivierge. It comes together, it's relationships."
Brands hinted that there may be an ulterior motive for the visit. "When Terry was coaching at the USOTC, he was called out to the Academy. He was summoned to a meeting with Air Force Officer. The AF Officer was a big Hawk fan and he told Terry it was very important that when he was an Associate Head Coach at Iowa in 2016, he had to schedule a dual in Harve, MT. It was weird. And the guy drove a DeLorean, so anyway, it was weird but we scheduled the dual."
Dudes who drive Deloreans are absolute hammers at closing a deal...and you can usually get a bump of cocaine off of them if that's your thing.
My guess is that they will fly in and out of Great Falls. I lived in Great Falls for a couple of years and drove up and back to Havre on business. My only suggestion is don't try and take a short cut. I read my map and took a road to shorten my way back and found myself on a dirt road and stopping for cattle so they could cross the road. Grazing cattle in the open range is a lot different from fenced in cattle that we see in Iowa.
Per Twitter the team has arrived! They posted pics of the puddle jumpers they flew on and there's a humorous pic of Stollhouse crammed into his seat.
Just hoping the travel doesn't take its toll too much on the guys. Hoping they can keep it together enough to bring home a W.
