Seth, can you check the 2nd down right before our last FG to get to 30? I can't find a replay but if memory serves that was screaming for a JJ keep. Honestly I wish he would've just ignored the instructions not to keep and read it out because he would've walked down to the 1 and knelt down.

Not sure what to think about…

Not sure what to think about Brian not mentioning NCAA Hockey tourney scheduling in this post. Has he come to accept it and moved on to issues that have a chance of changing, in which case we should be happy for him? Or has he become beaten down by the ad infinitum stupidity, in which case we should be sad for him and everyone? Perhaps he will let us know...

I live in MI now but pretty much lived in Baton Rouge from 2007-09, and the King Cake was one of the revelations given to me while I was down there. Many times since I've gotten an authentic one to bring into work and told the whole background behind it. Awesome. I gotta advocate for the Pecan flavor!

It's hard to get the timing right on the stills. Watch the YouTube clip I linked above. First still shows Iowa player with head down, crown coming in vs. facemask. Second still is Roman's head after being knocked backward, not him moving it out of the way. Him popping up is irrelevant to whether it was targeting.

Call timeout and go ballistic, give the replay crew time to see replays and there's a chance they call down. At the very least I hope they send the tape in.

BiSB, I thought the nuclear weapons analogy for OSU was spot on. Apparently not everyone has that as a takeaway.

What's the value of a tool that tells one who is going to make the tourney, other than for people who bet on such things? The people who select who is in the tourney do it kind of goofily, so I don't see Torvik's inaccuracy of that as much of an indictment.

Showing my technical ineptitude, but point is no one can be a one-trick pony, no matter how awesome that trick is. Obviously his scheme is much more complicated but at the 30,000' level, it seems he couldn't adapt. Too bad, I love the dude.

Can't blame you. However, sometimes--just sometimes--liability isn't only about our society being litigious, it's about laws being there to protect people and society at large. Thus, liability is sometimes a good thing to have when institutions won't just do the right thing without it.

I'd also like to see a Jon Urbanchek piece, as he returned a program to prominence that was dominant in the NCAAs from 1925-60.

I'd like to see a DeHart Hubbard piece. First African American to win an individual gold at the Olympics (1924 long jump). 3 NCAA titles and 7 big ten titles, and held the world record in the long jump and 100 yard dash at times. Graduated with honors from the U. I'd love to hear about how renowned he was athletically, and also the crap I'm sure he had to go through (I think I did hear that he couldn't stay at the team hotel when they went on road trips).

I would nominate the 2011 Iowa game for an honorable mention. Let's run power when we have perhaps the greatest spread option QB of all time on our team. That gets a Herm Edwards HELLO!?

Fair point to not make hasty conclusions about someone based on limited knowledge of a situation. And it's all fine if Gattis and Moorhead are friends. But the LAST thing we need is to inject another shake-up in the offensive coaching staff, which has been a huge contributor to offensive struggles the last four seasons.

I'm not sure why learning to shoot is any easier or harder than learning to dribble with your off hand. I don't find it any more likely he learns how to go left than he learns to shoot differently. 

So I agree with the part that he is who he is. Compounding this is that he was passing to two other offensively limited players in Matthews and Teske, one who makes bad decisions in Poole, and Iggy the black hole. Improvement on offense is going to have to come from somewhere/one other than Simpson, I think chiefly Livers. He needs to be sentenced to Camp Sanderson for the next 6 months, as well as the mental version of same. Teske or Castleton need to develop their games, also. And Poole has been discussed ad nauseum.

Simpson isn't going to change, so he needs better offensive options to select from.

Anyone with an espn+ account happen to look at their list of the top 68 players in the tourney? Is anyone from M on it?

Glen Rice. Excellent rebounder and runs the floor, in addition to shooting ability. Character and leadership in spades.

 

After that, Gary Grant. Better on D than Z, plus he can score from anywhere.
