Iowa will be 10-0 when the Badgers come to Iowa City on November 22 to hand the Hawkeyes their first loss, but the Hawks bounce back to make black Friday even darker for Bo Pelini, and head to the CCG where they lose to Sparty.

I've never seen Colbert outside of his Comedy Central show but have an appreciation for his satirical humor and am anxious to see him in his new role. He won't be everyone's cup of tea and I am not surprised that those on the religious right have no appreciation for his humor.

According to ESPN.com, the Bears are among the NFL teams that have fared the best during the first two-plus weeks of free agen In an article accessible to ESPN Insiders, Mike Sando gives the Bears a "B " for the moves they've made. The only team with a better grade is the Tampa Bay Buccane...

I agree that Hoiberg has a leg up coaching in Ames but he brought in a bunch of transfers and outcasts in his first year and they were playing much as you describe the Mizzou team. Fred molded them into a team playing team basketball and it has continued every season so far. Granted, Hoiberg probabl...

Mace

I'm not very familiar with your coach or team, Truman, but your blame is likely directed at the right person. Fred Hoiberg has taken a similar recruiting strategy at Iowa State by welcoming a host of transfers but has demonstrated the ability to get them to play as a team, so it can be done. There a...

Funny you say that, Mace. I was just saying to a coworker that all these kids are supposed to be in the greatest shape of any generation of football players, right? So why do I see kids signaling to get off the field when they catch a pass for 30 yards? You see kids "gassed" after 3 or 4 ...

Mace

I didnt cry about anything, if a defensive player is gassed then all he needs to do is stay down until the refs stop play and then he can be spelled for a play or two. That is no more outside the rules of the hurry up no huddle offense is. And USC is 1-1 in their last 2 meetings vs oregon 5-5 over ...

We had a beautiful 47 degree day yesterday that melted some of the snow and today I wake up to another 4" of new snow and getting my 4 wheel drive F-150 stuck in my driveway. Had to get my neighbor to come over in his Chevy Silverado to pull me out of the ditch. Embarrassing. Sounds like a few ...

I didn't realize until reading this thread that the play clock started prior to the "ready for play" signal from the referee. I officiated high school football for a good many years and I'm pretty sure that colleges followed basically the same rules. When did the rule change? I assume it's...

That's true, and has always been true, even though it has absolutely nothing to do with California high schools not having a playoff system to crown state champions.

good for texas, they were able to work with each other and get something done when the liberals running the schools in California have not A playoff system can be established in any state if determining a true state champion in every class is their goal.

It's no surprise that there are a lot of folks here in Iowa, and now New Mexico, who don't like Alford, including me, but I'm glad that you're happy with him for the time being. I'm confident that his douchebaggery will reveal itself in due time. Right now, I'd like to see an Iowa-UCLA matchup in th...

It's a "reality" TV show that's scripted, not a Ken Burns' documentary of Duck Commander, so who gives a fuck?

Sorry. We wanted to keep it on the down low.

Okay, Sam, I can accept that so long as you can tell me Nick Saban wasn't on the guest list.

I do think they've gone a bit overboard on portraying themselves as backwoods rednecks when, in reality, they're wealthy, and getting wealthier, duck hunters from Louisiana, some of whom are well educated, and used to enjoy 18 holes of golf at the local country club. You are being way to kind to th...

These guys were in the duck calling business (Duck Commander, I think is what it's called) long before Duck Dynasty, so I'm sure that they were wearing camo for a good many years before going on TV but, yes, the "reality show" is obviously staged, as are all "reality shows," but ...

Coming out may indeed hurt his draft status but I suspect that some teams will overlook his sexual orientation if he participates in, and does well, in the combines. I don't know if the NFL is ready for him, or not, but I'm sure that there have been other gay men playing the game who opted to stay i...

Mace

Sam was/is a very good player and I doubt that he would have been a better player if he was heterosexual. I just heard on the news that his Mizzou teammates knew back in August, and it didn't seem to have any negative effects on the team. So what difference does it make? Props to the kid for having ...

The fan is clearly an asshole but Smart crossed the line with his reaction. The fan should be banned from attending any future games and Smart is likely facing a suspension, as he should. Players have to ignore that kind of shit and, if he'd done that, the fan would still be a racist asshole but Sma...

The system described by LS is very similar, if not identical, to how it's done in Iowa. Districts are realigned every two years, classifications are based on 9-11 projected enrollments for the next two years, and the 8 team districts are mapped out geographically to minimize travel as much as possib...

It's been a bitterly cold winter in southern Iowa this year but with less than the normal amount of snow. We had a 6" snow on Tuesday/Wednesday with more expected for the weekend, and I'm tired of shoveling the white shit, but at least it hasn't been a wet and heavy snow. I can see that I may h...

Yep, I'm done with coaching too, Scott, and would rather spend what years I have left on the golf course than the baseball field. Time for the younger guys to take over. I had a detached retina 5 years ago and, 5 surgeries later, I wouldn't feel comfortable officiating football or baseball, even tho...

I haven't heard from Mace in quite a while, which is odd as we used to talk often. If anybody else knows, give us the word. As to Luther, he is fine. Just retired from the boards.

Happy 59th, Sam.

Sorry for you loss, Scott, and condolences to your wife and family. A morphine overdose in that type of situation would seem an appropriate solution.
