I have an unexplainable uneasiness with this game. Someone hug me and tell me it’s all gonna be okay.

Plenty of things could go wrong for sure. We’ve got a good squad though that’ll fight hard and make us proud. Feel better?

Line is down to 4.5. What’s going on? Can’t just be the Cooper news.

Down to 3.5 now. If it drops to 2.5 I might take ISU.

We’ve gotten some calls this game but these refs have really been bad with some spots including that third down td.

Williams and Blum did say that Townsend and Sowell have really come on the last 10 days. Hopefully that means some breakout performances by those two.

Good call here.

An observation and a question, then I'll get out of your hair.

Between 1980 and 2010, we played Iowa 7 times (3-4 record.) with 4 home games, which I attended. In 3 of those games, there were multiple issues with Iowa fans, some of which I witnessed. What's the deal? We have our rivalry with Arizona State, so I guess that's an expected thing (although I think they're pretty bad, regardless.) Obviously, we've played lots of people, and we're now in our third conference, but I've never seen anything comparable for a non-rival team. (Okay, maybe Oregon, but Iowa still tops them.)

I have no idea, so I was wondering if it's a lot of unhappy Chicagoans who couldn't get into Illinois or Northwestern, or what. In any event, it seems to be a cultural thing that spans decades and generations, so their administration bears the responsibility. Appreciate any responses.

Good luck to you guys (especially with injuries. You have an admirable program and you carry the flag well.

Iowa fans are well known for being *ssholes.

Iowa fans are wankers

@LA Cat heck you can thank Iowa fans for being jerks for getting one of your best mbb coaches to come to your school. They've run off a couple of pretty good mbb coaches.
Also thanks for stopping by and being respectful. Good luck on the rest of the season.

Entitled a-holes for no real reason. Blame Hayden fry and the Iowa media who slobbered all over them for 20 years. The definition of inflated ego.
