BYE College is like the team that plays the Harlem Globetrotters. They have never won a game.

Believe it or not, the Generals did beat the Globetrotters a number of times.

Gotta give some credit to BYE. Playing Iowa, then Minnesota in one weekend. Mental toughness.

IN CASE any of you people were wondering, Both CERI in Memphis and CalTech are NOT projecting any seismicity issues with today's game versus Bye Collegiate Institute.

Cool/crisp/sunny fall morning in Iowa City. I hate bye weeks, especially in the middle of October.

The bye has defeated Iowa many, many times.

It's called a bar.

I always hope nobody gets arrested.

This is why bye weeks ******* suck. Just completely ignoring Iowa when they’re clearly ahead of these (outside maybe ucla) these teams in the discussion. Hope they all get blown out today.
