Yeah, probably a bunch of stuff. Homesick, midwest weather (coldest, snowiest December in a while), injury, coming off the bench, being coached hard for the first time. That would be a lot to absorb and deal with all at once. Maybe she comes out the other side a Hawk, and a stronger person...

I think a potential 32 vs. 1 is a lot different from #1 in the nation vs. an FCS school or a bottom feeder G6 school. #32 is HIGHLY unlikely to upset #1, but you would absolutely see the occassional #28 over a #5. Maybe we keep everybody happy by keeping that 12th game in the regular season and...

Similar to something I proposed earlier... G6 --> top 2 from conference regular season --> (12 teams) ACC and Big 12 (JV) --> each conference pics their top 4 (presumed regular season performance with set tie-breakers) --> (8 teams) P2 (B1G and SEC) --> each conference pics their top 6...

Actually, ISU went 9/20 from the FT line, Iowa was 6/12.

Maybe... The winner certainly had good PR stats, though not as good as KW. However, he did a lot more damage as a receiver than KW did.

Seems like maybe AP doesn't have an AA spot for return-specialist? There wasn't one listed in the article.

That is what I mean, and you don't think they have some stories from that?!?

Disagree, Pavia ups the memorability of that photo an order of magnitude. Forty years down the road, their grandson is going to see that photo, and they are going to be able to regale him with stories about what it was like hanging with that dude for an evening.

I kind of thought Graves might have been converted into a LT early on. He seemed to work out pretty good at DT, though.

That is a pretty good argument, and you surprised me with a lot of that info.

He was probably devastated by VB's upset loss, and he cannot bear to stay in a place that brings back such haunting memories. I would move on, if I were Nebbie. In this era of pay for play, I don't think you can tie up too much in one player unless he is an unquestioned difference maker. What...

It was worse than that, as I remember it (I could be wrong here). I think ISU had just scored, so we should have been going the other way with a 5 on 4 because Crooks tripped over her own feet and was down. To shut down a potential scoring opportunity because she tripped was really weird...

Agreed. He has put a huge target on his back, and if he can win in a bowl, it will be pretty badass. But that sword cuts both ways, and there are probably a bunch of Iowa defenders who are motivated to put a little extra stank on those hits in the game, and there will be millions of CFB fans...

And I wonder how many super high-achieving people are ultimately kind of messed up in the head, oriented toward obsessiveness, thrill-seeking, control, etc. I listened to a podcast this week with a journalist who has produced some recent pieces on RFK, Jr. It is from the Pod Save America...

I think I know the one you were talking about. McCabe also got jabbed in the eye in the 1st half (knocked her contact lens out) with no call. Overall, pretty well officiated game. The refs didn't get in the way, but they also kept the game under control. Missed a few, as always, but didn't seem...

If they keep it under 10, my belief in this team moving forward grows immensely.

Agreed...I am curious to see if the next QB in-line can more effectively run slow-mesh and RPO stuff, though. That has not been Gronowski's strength, and potentially next year it could be an important part of what we do if we have the right QB. Let's get up by 4 TDs so Hecklinski can practice...

Iowa State is legit. Crooks is almost like a cheat-code on the offensive end, Brown is really good, and they defended their asses off. Both teams left a ton of points on the FT line. I don't know if this is a regular thing for ISU, but FT shooting is a legit weakness for this Hawkeye team...

The bowl would be a good time to bust this out: https://youtu.be/HPfrrbrPREE?si=z7ahLc2vHBT-d4N2

Maybe we go with the D scheme we used vs. Indiana? In that game we blitzed above 50% of the downs on D, and it was definitely effective. It did burn us on the game-winning TD throw, but on balance, that was our best way to defend that offense.
