I thought black and vertical stripes were supposed to be slimming.

That is slimming...

Hawkeyes, with their inept offensive will still win 7-8 games. It really is amazing that an offense ranked in the bottom ten of FBS schools, could still pull out a win!

Hook’em!!!

Vogon poetry, imo.

 

See, see the toothless sky
Marvel at its big yellow-shit depths.
Tell me, Ferentz do you
Wonder why the pululation ignores you?
Why its foobly stare
makes you feel insignificant

as toad testicles?
I can tell you, it is
Worried by your Fromnambulous facial growth
That looks like
A niggardly grass-blade,

And
What's more, it knows
Your rotting sausage potting shed
Smells of butt crack.
Everything under the big toothless sky
Asks why, why do you even bother?

I went ahead and made this based on projections from my model.  They are going into the teeth of their schedule,  That projected total is 211 - well short of the goal.

And yet it doesn't matter (yet) because they play in the Big 10 West and have a good defense and special teams.

Just wait until Lincoln Riley comes to town. It will be the unstoppable force of teams moving the ball on Alex Grinch’s defense, versus the immovable object of Iowa’s offense. A true test for both teams.

Iowa has a white cornerback that’s currently a projected 1st round draft pick. Like, at cornerback. Cooper Dejean. Jason Sehorn walked so this kid could run. 

He's legitimately an incredible football player.  From a town of less than 1000 people in western Iowa.

Between pick 6s and punt returns, I'm pretty sure he's scored more TDs than Iowa WR during his tenure.

It's it crazy that I want this game?  This actually sounds entertaining.

The transfer portal can be like a game of musical chairs for former blue chip recruits or High School stars who aren't starting at their school and Hudson Card seems to have just wound up at Purdue, and he has trusted his career and development to their OC Graham Harrell and the new staff in West Lafayette. The announcers talked about Harrell bringing some Air Raid to the B1G, but whatever they were running was some kind of weird first year transition with tons of run plays and almost no tempo to speak of. I hadn't followed Graham Harrell, but I thought his stock price was a little higher than being at Purdue. 

 

The Purdue offense was out of rhythm, all game long. The Iowa defensive line had their best game of the season, Card stood in the pocket too long. He had a move where he would just let the ball fly out of his hands while he was being dragged down by defenders. About the fourth time he did that there was finally an interception. He had medical tape around his neck area and had limited flexibility, maybe some pain from injuries in previous games too. The Hawkeye defenders made some hits that were on the edge of being flagged, the officials just didn't seem real interested in throwing the flags. Jason Garret didn't seem interested in providing color commentary on Peacock.

 

Anyway, next up is Wisconsin and it looks like its going to end up like the Penn State game.

If Iowa holds on, they have a bye next week, and here's the rest of their schedule

Minnesota, @Northwestern, Rutgers, Illinois, @Nebraska.

They are going to win out in spite of their offense.

Today’s tally - 237 on offense, fucking 506 punting!!!

For frame of reference, after 6 games we have a total of 649 punt yards…

I feel like someone at Harvard's business school needs to do a case study on how the fuck this team is 6-1.

Pardon the analogy - but they're like a soccer team that just fucks the game up the entire time and wastes time and bullshits and winds up winning 1-0 by scoring on their one good chance of the entire game.

That’s amazing. I hope they go 11-1 and don’t break the top 20. 

If they go 11-1, do they still fire Ferentz Jr?  How ironclad is that clause in his contract?

Iowa vs Wisconsin is always one of the biggest slapdick games every year

I went to the Wisconsin-Iowa game in 2016. It was a shitfest. Just awful football.
