[Thrawn II]

Nebrantska hasn't been relevant for most of our post adolescent lives.


Denied.

the Rockefellers haven’t done shit in decades but their name will always mean something the Trump name can’t buy

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Minnesota has 7 national championships. Are they a blue blood?

 

[Thrawn II]

Minnesota is like the Plantaganets

 

[Thrawn II]

If you want to argue about top x programs that is fine but “blueblood” has a meaning beyond just “good right now”. Otherwise that 2010 Iowa win should be discredited for coming against RichRod.

 

[CleteyColgate]

What’s up with Vonhamme? Is he still hurt?

Kirk takes the depth chart VERY SERIOUSLY.

I prefer the term oxygen deprived.

 

[Mountain Hawk]

That would explain why they say it doesnt really get that loud

Yep, it isn't that loud. Quietest 100,000+ people you'll ever hear. My seats over 40 years ago were low in what is now Section 33, and you could carry on a normal conversation at just about any point in the game. Those top rows slope out so far, they have their own zip codes.

plus it’s a lot of uppity rich folk.

Your sister's due in a few weeks. Lord knows who the dad is.

Fuckin right he does.

More like the Stuarts.

I don't really have a clue how this game will go. Nothing would really surprise me, but pretty sure it comes down to Hank not shitting his pants and not turning the ball over. If they can control that, then feel pretty good.

Worth mentioning that outside laying an egg at Iowa State on the road last year when Gronowski and Wetjen played like shit and lost a game they should have won, Lester has been damn good on the road.

38 points at Rutgers.
37 points at Wisconsin.
21 points at USC.
40 points at Nebrantska.
34 points neutral site against Vanderbilt.

Based on that, I would lean to this game destroying the 37.5 total. Hammer the over, boyz. I think Iowa going to do some things they have been saving up and hang their nuts out and go for the win. They aren't going to sit on the ball.

 

[Pedro]

These teams are very evenly matched in a great #17 v #18 matchup. Even enough that I'd bet whomever wins the turnover margin wins the game. If one team can manage a special teams score that could be enough to win.

I see a white knuckler until the final FG goes through the uprights.

 

[cloudhawk]

Nice- we NEVER see that

 

[Stu Beagle]

If Underwood struggles in the first half I bet they make a switch which concerns me

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Isn't the back up a true freshman

 

[L. Wade Childress]

seriously? Is benching a $10mm player an option?

*Skank not shitting his pants

 

[Fritz Fequiere]

I don’t think Underwood is any good for the same reason DJ Lagway isn’t any good. Phenoms that played too early. QBs need at least a year of watching and learning a modern offense and can be ruined long term if they don’t.

Hawks by 10.

 

[CamelTones]

I’d be pretty shocked if the defensive game plan isn’t similar to what they did against Raynor and Iowa State. They’re going to make sure Underwood is stuck in the pocket and has to beat them with his arm. Lee and Watson are going to have to make some plays on some long throws. Also need Lutmer to play much better than he did against ISU.

given that our DE can’t get any pressure this is likely smart anyways

[Hawk&Balls]

Always said that Brian Kelly knows his stuff.

 

[BBK]

Other than Neuheisel, those guys all appear to do their research

 

[kmurp]

Apparently Michigan has two terrific defensive ends. It will be interesting to see how Iowa’s tackles hold up against them.

 

[KitKatApples]

They're gonna get back there a few times. Hank needs to keep his pants free of poop

 

[Gushawk]

Obvious passing downs will not be our friend.

 

[Thomas Wolsey]

Maybe they can win inside and on early downs. Really need to avoid turnovers.

 

[KitKatApples]

Obvious passing downs will not be our friend.

Have they ever been?

 

[Fletch]

Have they ever been?

Matt Rodgers was Iowa’s starting quarterback in 1990 and 1991.

 

[KitKatApples]

Fuck yea he was

 

[Laplace]

Obvious passing downs will not be our friend.

I'm hoping we pass on first down at least occasionally.

 

[Pedro]

They’ll never see it coming.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

I have a couple friend who I thought had obvious passing downs, but it turns out they were just really drunk and it wasn’t anything genetic.

 

[AZmessDAWG]

Good one.

 

[Wanderer]

JFC. I think too stupid to be real is letting him off easy.

 

[RazHawk]

Michigan seems to be a bit banged up, Nichols was a surprise add to this the way it sounds. Could also be complete bullshit since we know Moulton and DJV are likely playing from the sounds of it.
