    Iowa fan appeals “fair catch” to World Series tv viewers

    Weird. Partisans who, long after it is over, can’t or won’t accept the result of a fair and adjudicated contest.

    Fleck Post Game - Wow Was This A Shot.

    The QB position by nature/definition commits more TOs. There are, as we’ve seen, 4-5 options for the RB position. Apples and oranges. That said, AK will need to continue his upward trajectory in the remaining 4-to possibly up to- 6 games remaining.

    Fleck Post Game - Wow Was This A Shot.

    “The ball is the program.” This is one of Fleck’s bedrocks. No one can be surprised at the consequences. The ratio of turnovers/gaffes to touches/opportunities is notable.

    Fleck Monday Press Conference on "The Call": “No controversy about it”

    The sounds since early Saturday evening, of Hawkeye fans’ skulls metaphorically - and unwarrantedly - cracking open, has been deafening, sustained, yet oddly, pleasantly melodic.

    What If Just 1/2 The Drops, Or 1/2 Of AKs 1-hops Were Successful?

    I’m going to channel the Coen Brothers’ character Osbourne Cox, and remind that it is “rapport”.

    How was Croom's ball not a catch, yet the Iowa guy got credit

    Just ask the NBC “Rules Analyst” Reggie Smith - both were obvious . . . well, to him, at least. :rolleyes:

    What If Just 1/2 The Drops, Or 1/2 Of AKs 1-hops Were Successful?

    I am not disparaging - I want, and root hard, for him to succeed. Must be hard to gain confidence with the drops, meaning I wonder if he’s trying to be too fine, and squeezing as a result.

    Iowa fans crying

    They’re collectively crying louder than Lois Feldman in a Metrodome bathroom stall.

    What If Just 1/2 The Drops, Or 1/2 Of AKs 1-hops Were Successful?

    I don’t know if I’m depressed that it won’t improve (leaning this way), or dreaming that we’re close to figuring it out.

    invalid fair catch signal

    Absolutely. Just unbelievable. And to think he collected a check for that “analysis”.

    invalid fair catch signal

    Yes. The NBC “rules analyst” was horrrrible! Talking his way - and trying to sway everyone else - into that a most obvious targeting call against Iowa, wasn’t.

    October 28th Schedule 2:30pm BTN

    Bueno on time slot. However . . . LR forecast: low 40s, NW winds 12 mph. Coolest day of the next 2 weeks. Changes +/- obviously likely that far out.

    What happens if...

    Northwestern was one of the messiest of messes, when we went to Evanston. I am hoping your referenced scenario comes to pass, but honestly, we’re well into “messy” territory ourselves.

    Tanner Morgan signed by the Vikings

    Appropriate, as I know I’ve loudly and on multiple occasions uttered “name in vain” epithets over the years watching both of those QBs.

    Iowa's McNamara likely out for season with leg injury suffered on Saturday

    Yep. Be careful that this doesn’t work out very well for IA. Would be so very “them”.
