    OT: Rugby 7s

    I still hold out hope that former NU rugby player Steve Tasker will some day get into the NFL Hall of Fame. A brilliant move by coach Rich Cortez to convince him to come out for the team.

    Fearless Forecast: Indiana State vs. Northwestern

    Lou- you gotta believe the Cats have a great chance to win if ISU is only playing with 10 defenders. I can’t imagine the 3-2-5 defense will be siccessful

    Takeaways: NU 60 MD 55

    Lou- what are you doing filing a report at 1am on a Wednesday night? That’s dedication!

    This W To Me

    I did enjoy this game surrounded by 4 Hawkeye fans. Funny anecdote- local sports talk radio has a bit called “details for a detail” where you describe what will happen in the Hawks game, and the person closest with their prediction. I called in knowing some Hawkeye fan friends were listening...

    Iowa football

    Please remember Doyles’ leading the rhabdo episode years ago sending many players to the hospital through his workouts in the offseason. He then became the highest paid strength coach in the country. Now this...

    Round 2 - RANDY WALKER REGION - Wootton vs. Fitz

    As an Iowan, I take great pride in the fact that the Cats continually crush the Hawks’ dreams. Though the strip sack of the undefeated team was the biggest, coming back from two touchdowns behind with the onside kick recovery wasn’t far behind.

    Looking for four B1G title game tickets

    Lou, I’ve got one - maybe two - I’ll give you if you want (depending on if my boy goes). Lips couldn’t make it, so if willing to separate, ticket is yours

    Our experience in Iowa City

    Having been to all Big Ten stadiums, except Rutgers and Maryland, I can say that the Iowa game experience is the best in the big ten. The new stadium additions have turned Kinnick into an amazingly intimate 70000 seat bowl. For those of you who haven’t been to Iowa City, the experience is an...

    Iowa Board is MELTING DOWN

    Johnny- As I’ve mentioned before, there is another rapid, but not quite as vocal, Cat fan down the street. Was lonely, but rather enjoyable in IC yesterday. Go Cats!

    Who’s going to Io_a City?

    Headed to the game nattily attired in Cats gear. So fun to greet miserable Hawk fans who once again can’t figure out how they could lose to NU. This is remarkable myopia on their part as they don’t seem to recognize that Fitz has a winning record vs Ferentz and Hawks and Cats are closest in Big...
