    Illinois game set for 1:30pm next Saturday

    Of course there were only one or two games on TV . . . there were only three channels. :)

    Illinois game set for 1:30pm next Saturday

    It's Iowa's turn. And the 1:30 start time is nostalgic for those who remember when schools set start times instead of TV networks. Ah, the days when all games in the Midwest started at 1 pm, ended around 4, and you listened to the score parade from around the country on the drive home: Slippery...

    Firing season?

    Iowa tried that when it hired Bob Commings, a starter on Evy's Rose Bowl teams, out of a major high school in Ohio. Notre Dame tried it when it hired Gerry Faust. I imagine there are other examples, but those two come to mind. Neither was a success, which doesn't mean NC State's gamble won't be...

    Boo birds are loud in Columbus

    Momentum? Nebraska? Uh, I don't think so. And neither do Phil Parker and his fellas, I'm guessin'.

    Boo birds are loud in Columbus

    That fake punt changed everything--in the game and the season--much like the Wisconsin fake punt did to KF and the Hawkeyes back in the day. That's the first thing I thought of when Oregon pulled that off and then went on to take the lead. Amazing how ONE play like that can alter the future. It...

    Purdue at Iowa line as of 6:25 PM Monday.

    That already happened at Minnesota.

    Purdue at Iowa line as of 6:25 PM Monday.

    Well, old man Ferentz ain't gonna do that. Hell, Iowa could've put up 40 or 50 in Evanston, and should have, but no, KF slammed on the brakes after going up 14-0 with the offense humming like a well-oiled machine. The dean of college coaches let Phil Parker's boys, as usual, hold the fort, and...

    The knives are out in Lincoln

    Maybe like hiring a Drake coach in basketball . . .

    The knives are out in Lincoln

    What a horrendous way to waste those huge amounts of money. The people those dollars could help . . . OMG.

    #10 Hawkeyes showed some fight in falling by 12 to #2 UConn

    Geno is arrogant and entitled. You are correct. And that's as far as I'm willing to go in describing him. Just because you've dominated something doesn't mean you have to be arrogant or entitled. Geno just is.

    #10 Hawkeyes showed some fight in falling by 12 to #2 UConn

    Man, the Hawkeyes never gave up, and with any luck at all, those last couple of minutes could have been REALLY exciting. As it was, the players never quit and made UConn earn it at the end. Poor offensive rebounding and Heiden never getting established until late due to foul trouble were the...

    AP #16

    Exactly. Jumped five spots to #16 in AP and to #15 in coaches, not that it matters.

    Phil Parker appreciation thread

    And imagine what the numbers would be if Iowa had a consistent offense. Many of the yards and points Phil's D has given up have come because they have been on the field so much due to an inept offense and have been forced to deal with short fields. All 10 of NW's points last night came after...

    OT: Did Miami get jobbed by the refs on TD catch ruled incomplete, why I think so

    Wow. Naive much?

    McCollum & Jirak: Will they be seeing significant minutes once the tough games start?

    Oh, hell yes. McCollum is a WAY better defender, and he's a better shooter. His mechanics, not surprisingly, are excellent. If you didn't know he was the coach's son, you'd think he was pretty damn good--because he is.
