Bye Week Lookahead

[BilldGopher]

This thread can be moved to the Week 11 Other Games thread when it comes up but took a peak at the forecast in I-O-W-A City for the 2:30 matchup between the Hawks and the Ducks.


This will be a far cry from Eugene weather on a typical mid-fall afternoon. Hopefully these ducks will be paddling more than usual for this one.

As for the bye week lookahead, we get the Ducks after a bye and then on a short week for them. Wouldn't be bad for the Gophers if the Hawks bruised Oregon both physically and mentally in a nasty weather match-up.

I usually don't say this but here goes...Go Hawks! Ski U Mah.

If someone just happened to fill Kinnick's field with concrete and they had to all play on it, that would be a shame ... just say'n.

Will the moon phase favor the Ducks at least?

Waning gibbous on Saturday (full Beaver moon was last night) and rising around 7:30 PM, so after the game.

Guessing since beavers are aquatic animals this probably favors ducks more than hawks...

P.S. There is a Kurt Vonnegut reference here that I did not touch.

I think we're better off if Oregon blasts Iowa.
Last thing I want is Oregon feeling like their season is on the line against us.
Rather have 'em overlooking us.

Not to mention watching Iowa get obliterated is always fun

We call that a "win-win."

Actually, this should be a good game to watch. Iowa and Oregon have not played each other since like 1994.

My favorite type of moon!!!

I hope I'm wrong but I think Iowa wins that game outright.

Great Hammy. You went where I was not willing to go...

The dead lift and clean & jerk are fine and all, but my favorite weightlifting lift is the snatch.
