Exactly right. They gave a starting LB from Iowa $100,000 just to visit and he was coming off a significant injury. He went there, got hurt again, and rode the bench. They got the money to throw at players.

So you're going with a coaching staff that has produced 6 Tatum-Woodson DBs of Year award winners (out of 14 total) is not up to the task of coaching him well enough? Not sure I agree with that logic. Regardless, it will be huge opportunity for Nestor tomorrow against a legit NFL prospect and...

Since Fleck started coaching at Minnesota, each program has had 7 DBs drafted. I think at one time Iowa had an advantage there but that time is long gone. My reason for concern with Minnesota's current DBs is John Nester is a starter for Minnesota. In Iowa's final game last year he was their...

I picked Minnesota to win but I think Nestor is going to have a very long day against Rutgers.

I felt that Minnesota had a better back 7 than Iowa but if Nestor is getting playing time that is probably not a good sign. He was buried behind DBs that are backups for Iowa right now. Their starters got torched by Rutgers WRs.

If this was 10 years ago I would think that Fickell deserves a little more grace but it today's portal world it isn't nearly as hard to build a team quickly. Look no further than Indiana. You pretty much nailed it with the bolded comment. 2023 7-6 (5-4) 2024 5-7 (3-6) This season could end...

2006-2007 was pretty bad but they covered pretty well for a good stretch from 2008-mid 2010. The really bad stretch was mid2010 - 2014. I believe he was 20-22 over those 4 & 1/2 seasons. I thought Iowa was close to pulling the trigger after 2014. They were just a trainwreck that season and had...

Iowa brought Gronowski in for his leadership & toughness. Usually when Iowa is behind in the 4th quarter, especially on the road, it's game over. Gronowski lead them to 2 TDs and the win with his arm and legs.

That ref crew allowed a lot of holding all over the field tonight. Really bad crew. And the lead official is a local

In the new B1G for teams like Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, & Nebraska, 6-6 and 7-5 are going to be what 8-4 & 9-3 used to be like in the old West division. Fans aren't going to like it but it's the new reality of playing the old East opponents more often and having to deal with the west coast...

Wisconsin Badgers Arkansas Razorbacks Utah Utes Michigan Wolverines

I know. How will their football program funded on the backs on Asian sweatshop workers ever compete? Poor guys.

Well they didn't do it last year.

California Clemson Georgia Tulane

Their best outside WR is also out for at least another month and possibly the season. And their top TE is now out for the season and maybe longer. They weren't good last year and look to have taken another step back.

Minnesota Golden Gophers Oklahoma Sooners Iowa State Cyclones NC State Wolfpack

That was as bad as I've seen an Iowa QB throwing the ball. Which is saying something. Their DBs on the other hand are usually very solid but look a lot like they did last year. Not good.

He is scary talented. And it's clear the staff has trust in him.

Technically it's year 7. Can't count the covid year.
