    A look back at a prophetic article

    I said this from the getgo. Cade McNamara was a starting QB for Big 10 champ, playoff team. Injury. He sees the writing on the wall, he's demoted. Theoretically, he gave Iowa access to a better QB than they had. The 4/5 starr 2nd stringer at say Alabama who wants more playing time hitting the...

    Let the portal madness begin

    I think it's pretty simple. He's worth more to Louisville than Iowa. Excellent player. Clearly liked by teammates. Valuable to Iowa, but not a difference maker. To Louisville, he could be difference maker. I don't think we should feel let down. As someone pointed out, he didn't mislead fans...

    Let the portal madness begin

    Are any PSU fans silently thinking: "Wait, wtf? I'm totally good with the idea of Campbell from ISU. Young guy. Proven to hang with a program that doesn't have our kind of resources. But I mean, are we really good with the idea of importing a chunk of the ISU players that uninspiringly went 5-4...

    It's Game Day, Boys!!!

    Korean brewed rice drink I think? I think it's closer to beer in the way it is made. But has an ABV of like 17+%. I took some heat earlier for admitting to watching Korean romance TV. I can't help it. I am totally addicted. I guess I'm just old and these are my Hallmark movies. Only instead of...

    Iowa's Mark Gronowski named MVP of ReliaQuest Bowl

    At first, I was a bit like "are they doing this to knock Pavia?" Cause you could easily award that to Vonnahme. With a little argument you could certainly consider Moulton. A little further argument could land on Sharar. I mean, I lean a little towards Vonnahme with a near record day and...

    I want OSU to lose

    Cause they ain't playing the SEC. it's 8:27 PM on NYE. I just put on those two braying waffles at Times Square on CNN. They just showed some terrible singer lady and then they started talking about Labubus and merkins. Is it OK if I just go to Perkins. I mean, it's OK if I just go watch...

    It's Game Day, Boys!!!

    Hawks win. Pavia loses. Iowa redshirt freshman TE would have outplayed the Mackey Award winner whk sat out. Nebraska getting hammered. Inventory at work done. Got a couple bottles of soju chilling in the fridge. Gonna be a good night.

    Iowa State has been decimated

    I think he'll do as good, or better than any recent PSU coach. I think he'll never match the highs of any previous long lasting PSU coach, but he will equal the later years of the coach who shall not be named. That being said, ISU fans have to admit the decimation this is causing. Will/would...

    It's Game Day, Boys!!!

    Yah, but I'm stuck doing inventory. And EOY. I haven't decided whether to try to keep up or just watch when I get home. I'll have to block my family chat, which will be full of updates and reactions. College football elicits more family chat texts than any other event.

    Effed up playoff system

    EXACTLY. Win your conference. Conference champions are in the playoffs. Group of 5 has to determine a champion. They can do it by ranking if they want and have a championship. Yes, #3 will claim to be #2. But I'm not going to care. If they get to nonsensey, they can go back to being more or...

    DeJean commits

    So when we shout.....is it "Jaaaaaaaaaaaxxxss" Or is it "Jaxxxxxxxxxxxxxxs"? I've been trying to work this out all weekend. It's kind of like when you're eating pudding. Do you actually chew it and swallow or just sort of "suck it down"? You can only think about it when you're not actually...

    Washington in the Portal

    So, my kid...who still regularly hangs with a few dormmates from freshman year who are on the team told me this over the weekend. I did not actually consider posting about it because, well...my kid asked me not to AND it's about an individual player. I'm just not comfortable with that. What...

    "Nebraska is Dead" Video

    I 100% believe Iowa could attract a higher profile coach than Nebraska. Not that they should. Or would. But I can totally believe that what fan detractors (including some Hawk fans) say about Iowa celebrating mediocrity, comes across totally different to a coach. A head coach sees a program...
