    *****Northwestern vs Iowa Game Thread*****

    I know right? In opponents territory there's a 99 percent chance they won't. On their own half? Ya maybe they'll snap it lol. Does ferentz seriously think other coaches don't keep stats on those tendencies and tell their guys to just stand there and don't f'ing move because there's not a...

    Who should we be rooting for today?

    Which one of those teams is Wisconsin playing?

    Who’s the most despicable coach in the B1G?

    This. They're both the TEMU version of ferentz. They're just good enough to keep their jobs. But still not good enough to be the real thing they're copying

    Indiana vs Minnesota game thread

    They did that last week as well. They still won in overtime but I was absolutely bewildered that on 4th down they didn't use it to give themselves time to win in regulation.

    Where the HELL was this execution/playcalling against Minny?

    The record after bye week speaks volumes. And after those disappointing weeks, games like this always seem to follow. I'd love to know what Ferentz record is in games two weeks after the bye.

    What's the upside

    Iowa was the best offer Petras had, and one of the few that wasn't a West Coast team of any level. Coaches don't (or shouldn't) care about stars. They're supposed to be able to evaluate on their own. And almost everybody passed on Petras. Brown got a shot somewhere else and got bounced...

    Anybody dressing up for Saturday's game?

    Well I might now. I happen to have a beard going for no reason that can quickly become a mustache. Might grab the button up game day jacket and Hayden hat and bring back 80's fry from a couple years ago. I went to the '09 Halloween game against Indiana. Two opposing groups of college kids...

    Oregon fires OC one day after “embarrassing” loss to Illinois

    I'm still far from sold on Lester, as I don't consider success simply being better than the guy before you that happened to be the worst coordinator in history, but let's pump the brakes a little. Let's say you fire Lester. You can't hire anyone else mid season that's good enough to actually...

    OT: Lions coach goes on 4th and 1 at his own 20, tie game, 4 minutes to go

    I kind of agree based on the situation actually. Punting wouldn't leave them a short field, but not a long one either. Enough time to chew some clock to eliminate your chance to tie or win even if you do get the ball back. Plus remember Detroit had time and opportunity to get 6, but they...

    What we feared in the pre-season has become reality: The QB experiment has failed. What's next for Iowa's future?

    Run the ball. Every time. Forever. No matter what. Until the sun explodes.

    Why cant we outflank these stacked defenses in the box?

    That's also the problem. You can make the guy the focus player, and even if the scheme doesn't suck anymore, you've still got to have someone to actually make the throws to him. Until that happens it's going to be hard to get another guy with any real offers from brand name schools to come...

    Why cant we outflank these stacked defenses in the box?

    Unfortunately you're correct. He's a kid that got sold on being THE guy at his position. An opportunity to showcase himself and be the big fish in the small pond. I was really hoping he would be the catalyst for getting decent receivers to come here. Instead I feel like he might leave and be...

    Good news is PJ should be around longer

    Since he's basically the TEMU version of Ferentz this big win should help cement him as the Minnesota coach for a while. He finally beat Ferentz when it didn't require a unanimously bogus game changing call. It just took a bunch of turnovers this time. The big ten west still lives, none of...

    This is why you buy a QB

    How many meaningful things have those players contributed to at the college level? Good for them, and I root for former players success, but the combined professional salaries of ALL of those current players equals zero championships at the college level. Not one single alumni was part of a...

    Anyone 2nd guessing Mich's coaches on 4th and inches and 3rd and goal from a foot

    Why didn't Indiana call timeout? Michigan only has one play no matter what. They could have gotten the ball back with time. Not much, but time to try something.
