I was taking a look at the stats for the NEB & ILLINI game and thought, I hate to give Bielema credit , but I think if you asked PJ what the ideal stat line would look like, the Illini stats below would be close: They got a very good game out of Altmyer and as you can see he was overall he was...

Once you look at the conference portion of the schedule it really drives home how big the conference is with the only home and away being WISC, but also the quality of opponents.

So true, we all remember how much the betters moved the line the day before the UNC game.

Besides, some of the best parties start late or often better known as the After Bar parties. There's a reason they have trouble making 11:00 o'clock starts on a Sat. It's not like they're in bed at midnight. They can watch the game and then go for another 4-5 hrs to celebrate after the win.

It should be interesting to see how Cignetti does. There have been other coaches that came out of FCS with an ego only to get crushed, but they didn't make an effort to consistently tell you on camera about their greatness or continually give off an arrogant attitude.

I don't think this is a huge surprise if you really looked at Hetherman's background before the season started. Here are James Madison’s defensive rankings under Hetherman: (2021): 7th in scoring, 8th in yards, 1st in turnovers, 8th in sacks. (2020): 8th in scoring, 5th in yards, 21st in...

I think the Iowa defense is more vulnerable than we've seen in a while. The Iowa defense has not seen their typical form in the first 3 games and has already given up 3 plays of over 50 yds so far this season. I also point to the fact that Troy’s starting quarterback, Crowder, was out due to...

I think FPI data will also start to adjust itself more effectively now that we have entered the conference schedules. The issue is that not all the data is completely available these first 3-4 week in the FPI. What I mean by that is that the FPI data is focused on the FBS teams and the FCS data...

It's frustrating in terms of planning, but I think I see reasons why they want to wait to make a decision on several of these games and I'll throw out my thoughts for what it's worth. First, this all comes down to the very complicated TV contract (FOX/FS1, NBC/Peacock, CBS and BTN) and all the...

I'm giving this from the Iowa perspective: "Hawks get Wings Clipped by Minnesota after another Terrible Offensive Outing" On a side note, I found this on YouTube (Anyone know this guy?) :) https://www.youtube.com/shorts/vMstuJsR23A?feature=share

Let's wait and see. I don't know if we can depend on Ferentz not stirring the pot. It was two weeks after the game last year and he was still telling people they go jobbed by that call when doing any interviews.

This is exactly what my Dad says. If it comes up in a conversation, he's always like there was no real rivalry before Alvarez. It took that huge winning streak by Wisky to just pull even in the series. Reminds me of the Packers as well when Favre came on the scene and won that first Super Bowl...

Yep, the Gold Chrome is officially out of this year's uni rotation.

How would you like to be Kentucky? Although they are 1-2, how many teams on this list hold Georgia to a TD and 2 FG. Are we sure the The Athletic didn't give this to an intern for busy work/misc content.

Yep, this is about it. I have family in Albert Lea, so Diamond Jo's always a nice side stop.

This wasn't the only thing Tenn did in the game. Tennessee went for an onside kick in the first quarter while up 30-0 and recovered it. The Volunteers scored on the ensuing possession, making it 37-0 at the end of the first 15 minutes. Now that's a serious "D" move on Heupel's end. I would have...

Agree, I was saying in general people think we start the season with cupcakes, UNC not one of them. In fact, I think UNC has more talent than a team like Iowa State.

I know few Wisky fans that are real A-Holes and it extends to Hockey season as well, so I lean that way. However, I also need to chime in for my Dad as he hands down hates Iowa. I remember being a kid south of Rochester and people for NE Iowa would come up to shop in Rochester and dozens of...

I know some people still like to look at Sagarin when it comes evaluating things like SOS, but I personally don't think that the model is aging well compared to newer data models like ESPN's FPI Index. I think the FPI model is more dynamic, has more data points, and adjusts the team ranking more...
