Big thanks to

Multiple things can be true:
Iowa didn't play well enough to put Minnesota away and their offense is historically bad.
Iowa won that game and it was taken away from them by a terrible call.

Going to be strange when Iowa plays at Ohio State in Week 12 and then turns around to play them again in the Championship Game.
The football schedule starts as early as the weekend of Sept. 5 with final games slated for Nov. 21 to align with academic calendars. The Big Ten Football Championship Game remains scheduled for Dec. 5 at Lucas Oil Stadium, though it could be moved as late as Dec. 19.

If Iowa State plays Oklahoma for the Big 12 Championship (and both are Top-10)
And Iowa plays Gonzaga (and could be 1 v 2)
And Iowa plays Ohio State in football (2v2 for Champions Week)
Is December 19, 2020 the greatest single day in State of Iowa sports history?

Last season Iowa was a 10 seed.
They lost their best player to the NBA, their 3rd best player had hip surgery and their 5th best player transferred to Kansas.

I'll say this about the masks at school: I'm not arguing the science or reasoning behind it, that's a different topic.
To push it through in the middle of the night & not give families and schools the opportunity to talk about it and figure out what's right for them, was wrong.

Beth Goetz should take the podium before Kirk tomorrow and answer questions, let Kirk focus on game week stuff.

I think what Fran McCaffery just did with Keegan Murray might be as impressive as anything Kirk Ferentz has done with a player. Clark, Gallery, Greenway, and many others are in the conversation.

Kirk calmed down, realized he didn’t say this clearly yesterday, and wanted to end speculation.
Now I hope he can let go of the offense and let someone else bring Iowa into this century. If he does that, his final years could be his best.

Call me a cheerleader, maybe I am one, but I refuse to look back on this season as a negative. Tourney win in MSG, beat down of ISU, undefeated non-con, win over Top 5 Michigan and at least 3 legit buzzer beater wins. Not perfect, but this year was fun. And 4 NCAAs in 6 years.

She knew he wanted to kill her. She tried to get help.
He legally purchased bullets and then did what she knew he would do.
We, as a society, failed her.

A lot happened for Iowa to lose that game. Some of those things are on them, some are credit to Iowa State, some are on the refs.
None of it matters because the offense is broken and that's the reason we lost.

Let me make this easier for everyone:
The president has never been swayed by data, a compelling argument, etc.
If he changes course it's because he thinks the old course is bad for him and the new course will be good for him.
It has been and will always be all about him.
