I don’t know if there is much reason to dwell on the Iowa-Iowa State game. I think the only positives to come out of the game is that if you are going to lose, play your absolutely worst game that you can possibly imagine. Plus, Iowa is a quarterback away… Read More »The Iowa Hawkeyes

I have one loyal subscriber that incessantly complains whenever I post too many posts without pictures. He often sends me an email that in essence “boos” me. I usually tell him that he is a big boy now and that he needs to use his words. But I’m quite certain… Read More »Saturday the 14th
