Would agree with both of you to an extent. Cook's big game experience will bode well.. This isn't the Coaching staff, and B1G House of the past years.. Cook will barely be able to hear himself think.
It'll be there D-line I worry most about. Deveon and Drake have to get past the LOS.

I feel like even if Iowa got through its regular season undefeated, whoever met them in the BTCG would just absolutely annihilate them. They somehow manage to avoid OSU, UM, MSU, and PSU all in the same year.

How many consecutive times as Northwestern attempted a run of some type on first and ten now? It's almost as if they are trying to out-Iowa the Hawkeyes here, or at least the Hawkeyes of old. I seem to remember it not working against us last week, but they are finding a little room here so far.

The music for the 8p promo always gets me jacked...

Not for fucking OSU, fuck them.

But I don't think there's too much more I enjoy than a Michigan win and watching the evening and night and late name games after that big Michigan win.

The feeling is so awesome.

Look, I know I'm wired. But the freedom and satisfaction of having the win and enjoying the other games and just relaxing and talking about the game and win is just so much fun. It makes the whole night, the whole weekend.

Even if I go out and watch the games, after a Michigan win...it's just a much better time.

It's one of those "little things in life" type things for me. Give me a a big Michigan win, a decent dinner, then the night games with a few beverages and that is cloud 9. 

I know, too much information, I'm ranting...I'll stop. Just excited, nervous...ready. Ready for Michigan to be BACK.

Feel the same way. Sunday mornings after a Michigan win are the best for me. Nothing better than that. This week especially beat a rival go into the bye week with a win. Enter the top ten with 4 very winnable games on the schedule with osu looming. Win today!!

I'd never watch that...I've got it on, but I'd never put it on the main TV. It's Iowa.

You don't watch those games unless they're close in the 4th quarter.

This FSU/Lousiville game is pretty good so far.

B1G West Football is fucking terrible to watch unless it's late in a close game. The East isn't that much better to be honest.

If I was a neutral college football fan, I'd watch Michigan and OSU...that's it. Everyone else is REALLY boring.

At least with the Big XII and Pac-12 are sloppy, it's team throwing the ball all over the yard.

For example, I'd rather watch Texas Tech than watch Minnesota or Iowa. Oklahoma St., WVU, Arizona St., (now Oregon)...all the same.

I'm not obsessed with offense, hence why I say watching Michigan would be awesome...and I like watching strong SEC defenses.

But I don't want to watch bad offense and a bunch of punts. That's just horrid football.

To me, there's a line.

Has everyone successfully found a bar to watch the game at this afternoon? I had trouble falling asleep last night worrying. Let me know if you need help, I have Google Chrome.

Well, Canzieri is done for the year. Iowa is probably still the team to beat in the West, but I have to imagine if they lined up against MSU, OSU, or Michigan, it'd get ugly, real fast for them.
