    Shouldn't be long for the progressive left jumps in with "you're a denier of science"

    Future Big Ten Realignment

    They were added for several reasons. Everyone understands the tv carriage of the BTN in those huge markets but there were a few other strategic reasons. To make the B1G a better home for PSU (Alvarez has said as much). Also, New Jersey and the Maryland/DC areas are usually going to be the...

    Xavier Foster Announcement

    Who knows where Foster is going, I'm just glad one of the two teams in the state kept him from heading to a Kansas or North Carolina. Hope he has a good career wherever he goes. Iowa has played more of a true center and I hear he was a Hawk fan growing up. Conversely I think you will see...

    Is it Stanley, BF, or KF?

    Its Stanley. He cost Iowa a chance at the West last year with the poor games against PSU & Purdue. The kid just doesn't have "it". he has a strong enough arm but he is slow to make decisions and looks lost out there. Its another 7 or 8 win season. The guards could be better too.

    What's going on over at Cry-fan?

    You are obviously making something up because on the replay it only shows the PI. If you go back on your DVR and watch the play in real time you get a clear picture of Meeker blocking Jones. Someone chips Jones to start and then Meeker has him in front of him his hands are inside his frame the...

    Early Iowa/ISU line (ISU-2)

    , I kind of thought that on paper going into last year's game but ISU went with the 3 man front most of the game and even after the punting game repeatedly put the defense in poor field position and ISU's defense still handled the Iowa offense. Its just the Iowa DL dominated the ISU OL by a...

    Press Release on Gary Dolphin Suspension

    It naturally takes the path when the University of Iowa tries to carry out a vendetta against Dolph due to the basketball coaches distaste from him. What Dolph said was a flat out compliment. He was talking about the players physical dominance and play under the basket, ANY post player white...

    Looking at game stats in paper...was PSU really the better team?

    nope, play PSU on a dry field and I think Iowa wins 7 or 8 times out of 10. As big of a punch to the gut Saturday was if Iowa gets to Indy which if they are the team we thought they were gelling into they will, I give them a solid chance against whoever represents the East. I think a lot of...

    OT: Defense; Big 12 defense; ISU defense

    Its not just because every play is a first down, a lot of it is they get up to the line of scrimmage and snap the ball in a much faster tempo. In ISU vs OSU, OSU had 16 drives but on 10 of the 16 drives ISU stopped OSU for less than 10 yards. Below is an article that talks about the OSU game...

    OT: Defense; Big 12 defense; ISU defense

    This article written illustrates its important to look at the number of plays and possessions not just the total points and yards. I watched ISU beat OSU Saturday, and I wondered how can you feel good about a defensive performance that gave up 42 points and this illustrates why...

    OT: Defense; Big 12 defense; ISU defense

    Its really weird because ISU had like 16-18 tackles for loss which included 7 sacks in the game. Part of it is they play so fast they get more plays and more possessions in. One TD was off a turnover and the last TD was bad because they let the WR get behind them in a situation they never...

    Schwartz: The Trouble With Big Ten Football

    I'm actually a proponent of a single set of standings where you lock in 3-4 rivals and rotate around the rest of the league I think all of the leagues could benefit from that. But since they are going to have divisions the problem is all of the recruiting areas are in the east. Wisconsin has...

    Clowns suck!

    I would say those are pretty accurate. Going in I would probably put the secondary as a slight ISU lean. The ISU corners are a little better but Iowa gets the nod at safety with Hooker. Maybe its a toss up, both secondaries should be really good units.
