The College Football Playoff rankings have come out, and look who’s sitting at the top. Iowa moved into the top four (number four, to be exact) after playing a stellar game against the mighty Boilermakers from Purdue University. Not really. Ohio State played their first ranked opponent and lost, which left an open spot for […]

Let It Snow. Look, I get that we’re still over a month away from Christmas, but today just puts me in the holiday mood. The game this weekend can’t keep my attention, so I have nothing else to think of but the weather. It’s going to be cold. The Accuweather forecast for Saturday puts the […]

This Halloween game had some tricks and some treats. Iowa played mediocre football against a mediocre team and came out with a mediocre 31-15 win. It didn’t look like “Kirk 3.0” out there on the playing field at Kinnick. The play calling was reminiscent of the days before we gave Michigan our quarterback leftovers, and […]
