I believe we have lost 12 times, since 2006, as a double-digit favorite. Last one was against NDSU in 2016. On average, it happens once per season, and we haven't had our annual Ferentz turd this year. (Remember we were the underdog against Purdue)

If we did schoolyard pick 'em when it comes to the B1G West coaches, Scott Frost, Jeff Brohm, Pat Fitzgerald and Paul Cryst would already be scooped up, before Kirk. Yeah, we finish above Lovie Smith and PJ Fleck. Back the Brinks truck up, yet again.

Just have Beyer's Remorse, at this time.

Wanted Connie to win a close game against the Stormin' Mormons. Feels like Connie will be fired up after this gut-punching close loss. I liked what I saw from Iowa in the first half against UNI.

Just don't see it, unless Iowa and Connie, were both ranked in the top 15. Gameday will be at Alabama for Texas A&M and Bama. Unless they are saving their Bama visit for the Iron Bowl.

Iowa State tried to play Drake (keep the revenue monies in state) and was rejected by the NCAA. There are limited options to find a 12th game, at this stage. Iowa State is only paying $300k plus the plane for this. Business-wise, they made a great deal and got that 12th game.

Debbie at Blue is at 11am CST on FS1. Looks like the ABC game will be Stanford at Oregon. Probably the B1G agreement with both ABC and FOX is that they both can't show B1G games in PrimeTime on the mothership channels.

Give me Gus and Joel over College Gameday. College Gameday will probably be in Tuscaloosa for Texas A&M at Alabama. Not announced, but that's probably the CBS game at 2:30am. ABC may have Nebraska at Michigan at 7pm.

Never seen an Iowa basketball, sloppily, turn it over, as much as this team. JBo could be better at the 2 position. Garza was better than expected. Cook was the stud we thought he would be. Kriener a nice surprise. Baer seemed to regress.

Fran is someone that knows how to buy a HUD house and do some entry-mid-level fix-it-up. He hasn't proven that he can fix-it-up, to the point, where he can flip the house, and make a profit.

For the past 3 years, the biggest turnaround I saw was Jimbo Fisher's hairline. This article, at least, earned honorable mention.

Larry Zbyszko has more credence being a "living legend" than Kirk Ferentz. Kirk is more about longevity, than legend.

Detroit has the highest murder rate (2011-2016 average) at 46.7. St. Louis and New Orleans are tied at 46.2. The only B1G vs Big 10 bowl match-up is the Armed Forces/Heart of Dallas bowls, and that's so far down the pecking order, that it never happens. I loved the B1G vs Big 12 matchups in...

19 schools, including Iowa State, Minnesota, K-State, Indiana, Nebraska, Memphis, Illinois, Wisconsin and Northern Iowa were interested in Wright. No interest from Iowa. Wright is a high 3-star recruit from MN, but looks like a 5-star, as a freshman.

He's better than Adam Woodbury, at this stage, and Woodbury was, oh so, over-hyped.

The last 5 seasons, we've had that go to player: Matt Gatens, Roy Devyn Marble, Aaron White, Jared Uthoff and Peter Jok. Who is that "Alpha Dog" this season? IMO, it could be Tyler Cook or Jordan Bohannon. Potential, yes, but not there, yet.

LOVED watching that Iowa vs Colorado in Sioux Falls, SD! November and December attendance and atmosphere, at Carver Hawkeye Arena, has been awful! Part of that are the teams we are playing and part of it is every game being televised. It's been ages, but I remember that NIT game, in 1995 at...

The bowl travel experience isn't as "sexy" as it used to be, for most schools. Look at these examples of B1G schools are the secondary market price for game tickets. On StubHub, the Cotton Bowl (USC vs Ohio State) tickets start at $55 (plus fees). Pac12 schools are well known for not...
