Beat Iowa!!

You know, that’s a fairly apt description of Iowa. Like the south, but with more meat.
In fairness that's an apt description of pretty much the entire rural Midwest
Don't forget pickle wraps, Keystone Lights, and pork tenderloins from Menards.
And how come the Menards in Lincoln Park does not offer pork tenderloins?

Of COURSE Iowans would eat Rhubarb in the middle of winter, out of season. They’re a disgrace to the upper Midwest.

Stunning how the trixies have not gotten on board with some tenderloin avocado abomination
You speak like a man who knows your way around a good Snicker Salad and any combination of a 7 layer salad that includes at least 80% mayo.

Iowa's offensive firepower is a real challenge for NU. NU will need the best game plan of the season to beat the cowhawks. Would-be coaches here seem have an idea of what needs to be done. Comment freely for us, Wildcats.
As a less-coaching-knowledgeable fan, I just want them to learn to summon their peak performance level, and that seems to be what makes and breaks them. At their best, they can win a lot of conference games. It seems to me they're improving, too. They're a lot tougher now than they were against duh-OSU.
There was a moment at the end IU game when the team knew they were the better team, which was a new experience, but one that the team suddenly understood - they could compete. Yeah, they can, but will they?

Seems like a classic tempo/pace battle with the added caveat that Iowa also can’t just light it up from outside too much in the half court set.
I'm glad to hear that. Mental health issues are no joke, glad he got help and is able to play ball again.
I just hope he loses tonight.
I've often wondered if it was possible to quantify the emotional advantage of being in or close to first place, especially in college sports. Seems like a winning team would practice with more enthusiasm and play with more confidence and expect to win in the end. That has got to help if your playing a team that is wondering if or knowing that they will end up having a losing season.
I don't imagine it's provable, but I would buy this. What I have noticed over many years of following sports is that players seem to return faster from injury if they are on a competitive team. On the flipside, it seemed as if anyone who got a hangnail on the Bears this year was out for the season.
I liked the "Go Hawkeyes, and I guess Go Cyclones, too, because I have a nephew who plays there" part. I've met some Iowa State grads who still cheer for the Hawkeyes as their top team.
Hopleaf in Andersonville has a pork tenderloin sandwich on the menu now, and it's worth a visit regardless of what you order.
But make sure you order the half portion instead of the full portion. The half portion is one, quite large, 2 inch thick, 10-12oz pork chop, expertly spiced with all the sides you could want.
The full portion is… two large pork chops. It’s literally like two large dinners.
And get the Au Gratin potatoes!
Listen, I like to eat a lot and while I can’t East as much as I used to I can still eat a lot.
The full portion at Hoyts is like a massively insane amount of food. And you’re definitely going to have preceded it with some like relish tray and garlic break and things. So.
You’d say that, BUT, the half order is $25 while the full order is $45, so you’re paying nearly double for the second pork chop (the sides are the same), so the math doesn’t really work out with pork chop not reheating well. You can’t even order the full to split so you can eat more apps since ordering two halves is basically the same price and you get extra cheese bread with each order, which is critical.
This just seems like an argument for ordering two half-orders.
If you need to reheat, just boil your own oil.
The promise of America isn’t reheated pork.
The promise of America is I’ll buy a gigantic pork chop or steak of my own and eat that the next night. Fresh and juicy,
