Saturday Weather

This gives advantage to the run game. Short pass game into the wind, long pass game with the wind. Better be very efficient with the wind to our back.
 
When you have the wind at your back, have to be aggressive throwing the ball and maximize the amount of possessions (don't need 7 minute drives, that's almost a win for the defense no matter the drive outcome). Probably won't be more than 10 total points scored in the north end zone this week.

It rained in northeast Iowa last night. Rain was NOT in the forecast, at least as of 5 pm last night, so again, not much point in worrying about the Iowa City weather until around 11 a.m. tomorrow . . . and even then, worrying won't help. ;)

I think Stanley and the gang will handle it, whatever it is.

Current rumor in my deer blind is the game will be moved into the practice facility and the fans can watch the game on Hawk Vision.
Funny things happen to a man's mind after 62 hours alone in a deer blind. ;)

I’m ok according to the psychologist. He’s a squirrel and practices three trees down.

How windy does it get in the stadium? Not sure with the new construction.

Definitely think the new North End zones going to help. NNW winds today. Field-level I'm sure it's completely different than sitting about 50 rows up. It's a concern but work with what they have. Go Hawks!
 
Anyone else catch how early in the game the official spotted the ball the. Walked away. Iowa’s OL come up to the ball and the ball rolls away due to the wind?

Anyone who wants to bitch about Iowa’s offense yesterday (national media dude who said Iowa only put up 23) needs to be shown that play.
