We are still devastated in Iowa. UNI and Iowa State are wearing gold at their games for Celia Barquin Arozamena -- killed on a golf course in -- Iowa????

Here is a solution for Iowa City:

"Wear the color where you sit. The gold can be for Celia Barquin Arozamena. The black can be for Mollie Tibbetts."

So I buzzed through the UW/BYU game yesterday just to see what the hell happened. My biggest takeaway was that LB's looked slow to the ball, which is the opposite of what I typically see out of them. I can understand being surprised by the jet sweep action to begin the game, but I can't believe a) they've never seen it before and b) they were unable to make adjustments. All that to say I think we can throw that game out in regard to what to expect this week.

This game sits largely on Brian Ferentz's shoulders. UW has owned Iowa since moving to the 3-4, and has only allowed 1 offensive touchdown in the last 3 games. If BF comes out of the gate with a creative gameplan to keep the LB's guessing, we may see some success for Iowa. If he continues to stubbornly commit to outside zone, it'll be another slaughter.

All-in-all, I won't believe it until I see it. 20-10 Wisconsin

I heard about Lois too. I hope he makes it OK. Being a guy with my own cage in the back, well, let's just say I'll never be the same guy.

That was Matt Canada's offense unleashed.

One last comment (from me) on a thread that justifiably is headed to the ashes. There is nothing that says football to me like seeing Wisconsin and Iowa lined up against each other. Whether it's at Camp Randall or Kinnick; the contrasting primary colors without any flash; the block letter vs. the bold mascot on the helmets; it's normally smack in the middle of the season, so there's still promise and hope, but often there's also a little brutal reality mixed in; the marching bands, the lack of pretense to it--these aren't college football royalty, they are the lunch pail crew (to borrow from Joe Panos); both teams will have big lines and stout defenses; they will run the ball and hope their fullback or tight end is the hero, with a scrappy quarterback that the big kids wouldn't have on their depth chart; and it's a surprise if anyone scores more than 30.

There's no team I more want Wisconsin to beat than Ohio State. None.

There's no team I enjoy seeing Wisconsin beat more than Michigan.

I know Minnesota is our "rivalry" game set for the end of the season, and I understand why.

But this game: Iowa. Wisconsin. 

This is college football. This is the game I love.

Interesting article. The Wisconsin score to win in the last minute brought a sea change to the Iowa defensive configuration that is probably here to stay for years to come. Iowa's defense performed well this season but not good enough to beat Wisconsin, Purdue, Northwestern, or Penn State. Hawkeyes can't keep playing second fiddle to Northwestern and Wisconsin. They've been 2nd fiddle to Wisconsin for a while and it hurts the rivalry.
