    2017 B1G Tournament to DC

    I for one am happy to see any decision that moves us away from Indianapolis being the de facto location for Big Ten events. That place is a second-rate city that only confirms the rest of the country's suspicions that all midwesterners are bumpkins. The east coast additions give us some...

    Hypothetical Question on Naming Rights

    You give the donor the naming rights to the field - "MediaCom Court/Mat at Carver Hawkeye Arena." I think there is a good chance that it becomes Hayden Fry Field at Kinnick Stadium on day...

    Football Unis

    Football Uniform March Madness - Rd. III - Time to Crush Purdue

    To Cory's point - UM messed around with their uniforms quite a bit last year as I think they wore "alternate" unis on at least four occasions. If we make it to the championship, we will show up in numbers. They haven't beat us in three years. No need to let it start happening now...
