I’m watching Akron beat Indiana late in the 1st half. Could there be another big MAC win in the near future?
We’ll be watching the game on a nice 50″ plasma. I might have to start being nice to my parents to make sure the TV goes to the right house in the inheritance.

Is it a bad omen when the family hamster dies on game day?
During my drive over to my dad’s house, I was listening to Sirius Radio and happened to stumble onto the Iowa State coach’s show. Some of the highlights included:

Iowa’s defensive line is really good.

Iowa’s linebackers are really good.

Iowa’s running backs are really [...]

Firstly, as long as I can get my laptop hooked up with my parents wireless router, I will be live blogging during the Iowa - Iowa State football game tomorrow probably starting with a couple notes around noon.  Feel free to join in and help fill in the gaps.  The last time I did this [...]

During the Syracuse game last weekend, there was a guy, not this guy, who was constantly yelling at the Iowa coaching staff to “Just run the ball down there throats.”
For the record, Iowa ran for 118 yards but only 2.9 yard per carry and was definitely not shy about running it.  There were 41 total [...]

Dear Punk Guy,
Mitch King is not your buddy. No matter how many times you yelled, “Yo Mitch” or “Nice play, Mitch” or just leaned way forward screaming “Mitch” he did not make eye contact or even give a quick head nod one single time.
When a lady asks Herky for a picture, don’t take that [...]

Do you think the Hawkeye defensive line is eating like normal this week or are they fasting this week so they are nice and hungry at game time for the Cyclones?
I was looking at the stats and Iowa State managed to put up decent running yards against both Kent State and Northern Iowa.  I have [...]

I’m not going to be able to make it to the game this weekend and Jack Trice Stadium. I’ll be stuck watching the game at my dad’s house dreaming of seeing the pummeling that Iowa is going to dish out. I have attended football games at Kinnick for the better part of 20 [...]

I was very happy with Iowa during the Syracuse game. Almost everybody on the time played very well. About the only thing we really did not get to see was a field goal attempt which reminded me that the field goal kicking seemed like a potential problem area during the Northern Illinois game.
Missing [...]

Terry Bowden thinks that Michigan was silly for scheduling the game against Appalachian State because, get this, Appalachian State is one of the good division-formerly-known-as 1AA teams.
Apparently it is okay for the big power house teams to schedule the games against the other division, but only against the really bad teams that are easy wins.

Lance Smith is a running back for Wisconsin.  He was suspended from the team a couple months ago after getting arrested for beating up his girlfriend after allegedly refusing to let her leave his apartment, taking her shoes and taking her money so that she couldn’t even afford a cab.
He is facing battery charges but [...]
