______________________________________________________________________________________________
What a finish to the season! Iowa has now won 8 of 11 contests since Nebraska joined the B10 - the winning streak is extended to 7 games, 4 in Lincoln! Maybe its time to evaluate where Nebraska is as a program?
The Game #1 Y/N contest included a bonus question: "Yes or No - will Iowa win the Big Ten West title this season?" 22 of the 28 who responded predicted that the Hawkeyes would indeed win the B10W. Congratulations if you were one of the 22 who placed money on that prediction. caulkers went further and predicted a 2021 conference championship as well - let's hope that he is a prophet!
This week: 30 entries for the final Y/N contest of the season - only 7 managed to answer more right than wrong. QChawks and HawkHeel3 topped the field at 7-3, this week's high score. Nebraska was able to limit Charlie Jones' return yards on Black Friday (TB = 24) and that ended up benefitting this week's winner: HawkHeel3 (TB76). Congrats. Like most of the rest of us, QChawks (TB123) expected a big day for Jones against the pitiful Husker special teams....... saving it for the BTCG perhaps.
