I thought it was a bad call at the time, also. Had I known that three starting O linemen were out I would have thrown something at the TV.

I think the Hawks struggle in west coast late games partly because they start at 8:00 or 9:00 Central time, so it screws with their biological clocks.

Indiana has Mark Cuban funding them now. That, plus catching lightning in a bottle with Cignetti, is how they turned it around so fast.

The good thing about this west coast game is that it's an afternoon game. If I remember correctly, most of the struggles have been night games, or at least in the case of the Rose Bowl, late afternoon games.

I'm not talking about what he says, it's how he says it and his demeanor. It's hard to fake that.

You must not watch any of his interviews or his call-in show with Dolph. He in no way sounds or looks like he's ready to retire. I'd give it 3-4 more years before he starts actually thinking about it.

You've probably made your stance clear in the past, but I haven't been on this site for a while. What is your problem with Seth Wallace? I don't have an opinion either way.

Bowl games may be irrelevant in the big picture, but the extra practices, visibility, and ability to give the younger players practice time is very worthwhile. The biggest bonus is that it's another chance to watch Hawkeye football, one of my favorite things in the world. If you don't enjoy...

Gronowski rarely gets more than a yard on sneaks. Stanley regularly got 3-4 yards, sometimes more. There's no comparison. Hating Brian Ferentz isn't a reason to disrespect Stanley.

No.

Overrated? If Settles hadn't injured his back as a Sophomore IMO he would have been All-American by the time he left. He had some unreal moves around the basket, could shoot the mid-range jumper, and rebounded like a maniac.

I didn't get that from his commentary. But then we had to listen to Jimmy Jackson fawn over the Buckeyes a couple of weeks ago, so even if Settles was a bit of a homer it paled in comparison.

I went to a Vikings game at the dome a few years back when the high temp was -5. If you stood outside tailgating longer than five minutes, your beer turned to slush. Damn it was nice watching that game indoors!

My nephew wouldn't make a very comely woman and he's not an ex-Hawk, but he's doing just fine selling pharmaceuticals.

Wilson threw some Petras-like passes.
