How would Gameday be in Iowa City next week if Herbstreit is calling the Texas/OU game at 11 AM in Dallas?

If Gameday is in Iowa City, and they gave kind of a wink to that this morning, then he'll be calling Michigan/Nebrantska.
Yeah, well, Pollack's a Bulldog, so....People get too caught up with perceived disrespect, but that's just a retarded thing to say.
And his most impressive stat on the night, ZERO fumbles.Looking at the box score this morning, and I realized that I overlooked IKM having a nice game. He averaged 7.8 a carry.
The way he came out cool and collected last night made me wonder if he smoked a joint before kickoff.I still think someone should slip him a xanax during each pregame.
I know a guy who has a bomb sniffing dog that has to be in Iowa City at 4 AM to sniff stuff out in preparation for Gameday.
did you buy your time machine at Costco?What a fun game and a nice surprise! My house got fucking crunk last night. Sorry you missed it for the Mariners loss Sondy!
Is that good? That seems good.Looking at the box score this morning, and I realized that I overlooked IKM having a nice game. He averaged 7.8 a carry.
I felt, and this was shocking to me too, trust. I mean they were up by a shitton, and Maryland had quit, but that’s happened a bunch for him and he hasn’t looked as good as he did last night. I am hoping a trend is happening!Guys, there were times last night where I felt like Spencer Petras could do anything he wanted to do out there.
I can't believe autocorrect just let me get away with that.
People forget we only beat tOSU by 31 in 2017.
What the fuck is a Cover 3 Podcast?Listening to the Cover 3 Podcast, here's a stat they dropped: amongst power five conference teams, the only team that has a worse offensive success rate than Iowa is Kansas. Fucking Kansas! This isn't just "Iowa is up and playing keep away guys, it's all in the gameplan!" This offense has been an objective dumpster fire relative to its peers. It's been the blocking and the lack of vertical passing. The OL needs to get a lot better or the defense will continue to have zero margin for error.
The only argument in the favor of the offense would be, if your success rate is currently in the same ball park as Kansas, you can't get much worse.
Rewatch thoughts:
For the most part the pass protection was excellent. Petras is just a different player when he has a clean pocket.
I'm sure Kirk doesn't want to do it, but Petras also seems much more comfortable when Iowa goes with a pass-first approach. Petras seems to get into a better rhythm and become more at ease when Iowa passes the ball at a higher rates.
Shudak is nails. His only miss was the bad snap against ISU.
Taylor didn't look like his usual self punting.
It was funny to see the players being hyperbolic on the sideline in their celebration with Bruce after his touchdown. I get the feeling Bruce is known on the team for being very rah-rah.
Speaking of freshmen receivers, is Brecht injured or just not as far along as the Bruce and Johnson?
Having a return guy like Charlie Jones makes such a big difference. I don’t know who the heir apparent is, but it would be great if they could bring in someone in this recruiting class with plus return abilities.
I saw somewhere else that Terry Roberts should be a special teams all-American. This needs to be a thing.
Iowa kicks your ass and then celebrates. So many other teams celebrate when they haven’t accomplished anything.
Goodson looked like Shonn Greene on that tight-space spin move.
Smart play by Petras to throw the ball in the direction of Laporta to emphasize the hold when they had their nose guard (????) trying to guard him.
Holy crap are we lucky VanValkenburg decided to come back.
Dick Vitale has his All-Airport Team. Whatever the opposite of that is, Iowa's defensive linemen would be on that team.
Petras was so much better at finding secondary receivers. He looked a lot more relaxed.
Of the top 6 defensive backs for Iowa, only 2 (Hankins and Belton) had P5 offers other than Iowa.
One of the "stories" of Iowa's recent success has to be the job they've done of replenishing the DL year after year. Losing so many DL to the NFL would have been a huge problem for past Hawkeye squads.
One of the most impressive things about all the picks is that they happened without the DL getting a lot of pressure or Parker blitzing a lot.
Castro is gonna be a player. He gets to the ball in a hurry.
Jack Plumb’s lack of development has been disappointing.
Nice route by Miamen. Even if LaPorta leaves after this season, Iowa should be fine at TE.
Leshon Williams hasn't had much of a chance to prove himself, but I think he's gonna be a player.
Did Gavin Williams get dinged? I was surprised he didn't see more action.
I’m not a fan of Pollack but I heard what he said and that is twisting his words. He said the top offenses are down this year (Oklahoma, Clemson, etc) so a team that usually doesn’t have great offense but has a strong defense like Iowa has a chance. He did not say Iowa did not have a good defense which is what David’s tweet would suggest.Not surprisingly, he’s catching a lot of shit on Twitter. Guess the offenses have been down in CFB for two decades.
No frigging idea.How the fuck did Belton recover that fumble?
Not sure.How the fuck did Belton recover that fumble?
Stay away from me, you fuck!Doug were you at the Smithsonian
CFB podcast with the CBSSN folks…What the fuck is a Cover 3 Podcast?
Seem like some smart guys who earn their podcast money telling us what to thinkCFB podcast with the CBSSN folks…
Yes, I was at multiple Smithsonian museums today.Doug were you at the Smithsonian
I thought that was youYes, I was at multiple Smithsonian museums today.
What was I wearing, you silly fucker?I thought that was you

Feels like LaPorta has been inconsistent with his pass catching and blocking this year. I'd be very surprised if he's not back.Rewatch thoughts:

Had a good trip. Game was a blast obviously. Don’t think I need to ever go back there though.
