Until a CIL gets put up.......talk away

IU moving nicely down the field in their first drive.

Wisco has first and goal

Bucks missed a FG, but already getting the ball back. The Under 50 is a lock. I should have grabbed it.

Ha I was just going to start one of these after Indiana took the opening possesion for a TD against Iowa, this should be a much better game than OSU. Gotta get my favorites button organized for these early games

Pryor just threw a ball to someone not named Posey or Sanzenbacher. And throws what should have been a pick-6 or TAINT if you will, trying to force it to Posey.

Is anyone watching Wisconsin vs. Purdue? Isn't the rule that the player has to have possession all the way to the ground? I thought it was a good call by the officials.

Pass interference call in Iowa game was brutal, damn let defenders defend please, something needs to be done.

Iowa looking really bad, hope MSU looks similar this evening against gophers

On one hand, I'm not concerned about them yet.

They do not care if they play behind all day.

But, man I'm down 24 points already in this one. Brutal.

This FSU-NCSU game is a snoozer. FSU finally scored a TD, but everything about this game is boring. Doak Campbell looks about 2/3 full, it's gray and raining, and the announcers sound bored.

Does anyone think Iowa deserves a top 10 ranking much less #4. Based on what I saw last night, USF would blow away Iowa. Giving up the TE TDs and the TOs hurt us so much. In 1-2 years we'll be head and shoulders above evryone in the perennially weak Big 10

Iowa played a rather respectable non-conference schedule, beating Iowa State and Arizona, and also has a big win over Penn State in Happy Valley, a game that Iowa dominated after the first quarter. Iowa's problem is that their running backs keep getting injured and their QB sucks. But in terms of resume (which is what should be used at this point in the season), Iowa clearly outclasses most of the nation. The only thing they lack are blowout wins over the cupcakes they've played.

right? Iowa is a good team. Sound. Few mistakes. Remind me a little of our 97 team in that respect. If they can make it through the big 10 schedule, which they may not, I give them a good shot. Ferentz is a good coach, and they'll prepare well for whatever bowl game they're in.

Pryor ran it in from eight yards out. On the bright side, they're looking very mediocre against New Mexico State. Their rush offense has been terrible (outside of Pryor scrambling).

If anyone is watching Ole Miss-Auburn...

So Auburn gets a terrible stop after a 3rd down run that should have been a 1st down, and then proceeds to get stuffed on 4th down. The refs down there really have been working on being awful.

I am hoping for this IU lead to hold up into half.....maybe a sweet set up for a second half bet on Iowa. You have to think they'll wake up offensively, right?

why don't college teams run the onsides kick like tOSU almost every play? i'm being serious though it would be annoying to watch. then once a team thinks you'll be doing it (b/c you did it the previous 3 times) you just go with the conventional kick off. IMO it seems like a pretty cheap play, only to kick it 10 yards (too easy).

ALSO, i hate how the offense always get the benefit of the doubt. i've seen this so much this season for some reason. in the tOSU-NMSU game it was clearly offensive pass interference. i've seen that blown call so many damn times this year in particular going the wrong way. frustrating..
