I forgot how much I hate most musicals until i watched your video. There are very few reasons anyone should spontaneously burst into song.
The Music Man as I am sure you know won the golden globe in 62 and is still playing today on Broadway with Hugh Jackman as prof Harold Hill - get your tickets. I am sure Meredith Wilson's heirs are still receiving a healthy residual check. A theater critic your not
Agree...team wrestling titles are nice when you can crown several champs on Saturday night...otherwise, it must be kind of bittersweet.those participation trophies are remembered for hours
I played all the sports I could in HS and FB and BB in college but when my 118 lb college buddy flipped me on my can ( I weighed 230+) that was enough for me to never mess with a all american caliber wrestler
To Iowa's credit, Spencer was probably the most dominant champ and without ACLs to boot. I hope we have some more point scorers this year, and all four champs can repeat. I haven't been to the wrestling board in a little bit - I was hearing some concerns about potential NIL deals being denied by the administration.Agree...team wrestling titles are nice when you can crown several champs on Saturday night...otherwise, it must be kind of bittersweet.
I'm a bit confused... when did putting up 30 points and 440 yards on Kent State become a big deal? As a comparison, TAMU (despite 5 TO's) had 595 yards of O and threw 41 up there. Not a knock on Iowa per se but i'm trying to understand how some "analyst" is ok using KS as a measurement of Iowa's success and to state that this somehow sets them apart from other teams (aka wisky) in the west. Then again, it's E fing SPN.
Iowa is- hands down- my least favorite state in the union. They have an odd level of arrogance that I’ve never understood..Don't let facts get in the way of a perfectly good rant. I don't see anyone on the Iowa paid board bad mouthing PSU ( if it was Nebraska that would be a different story) Iowa people if anything are too nice and I have never witnessed a hostile act toward any visitors at Kinnick. We have an open message board that is a haven for imbeciles it is like reading comments on AOL message sites-complete garbage .Go there at your own risk as the purpose it to incite drama. Thank god a very minute percentage of people live their lives on these boards ( I am guilty but I am retired
I think the point was that with the D they won't need that many points. Iowa's philosophy has pretty much been first to 24 wins.
I think you are correct.. just an odd way to make it (at least in my eyes). Pick a better team at least
We've won the Big more times than you have since you joined it and you have a you have a 1 game edge on us since joining the league. Both teams have had long streaks against the other. Both team are very similar success wise since PSU has joined the Big.
Unless my math is waaaaaaaaay off………
4(94,05,08,16) is greater than 2(‘02 and ‘03).
Don’t let facts get in your way, though.
So it's not just iowa week now it's iowa month apparently.
The old man already took a shot at me and we're more than two weeks out. It's gonna be a long couple weeks.

If they are as knowledgeable as the Iowa fan the cohosts the Bigger Ten podcast (who claims that Penn State’s defensive backfield is very suspect), it’s going to be a long two weeks.
I was in Iowa City 2019 … absolutely loved it … great fans … got one comment the whole weekend … will definetly go back some day ..
Wait …..what????? That’s like saying Tom Brady is not a clutch player.
Did that dude fall off a combine onto his head at harvest time?
This is the best DB group we’ve had since 86-87 IMHO
Is this the price we must pay to have a promising season? If we forfeit to Villanov, will the Iowa people leave?
They have nowhere else to go. They’ll be here.
And they shared 02 with national champ osu after ducking them in the regular season and in 04 (not 03) they shared it with a Michigan team they lost to because the big ten likes everyone to get a trophy.
1990 was a four way tie (more trophies).
1985 is the last time they won a title outright.

All the Iowa fans I know in REAL LIFE respect and like Coach Franklin.
But I guess it’s fuel to feel disrespected, huh?

Iowa - 2 Big Ten Championships
2002 - 11-2 - tied OSU, went to Orange Bowl runner-up
2004 - 10-2 went to Capital One Bowl (beat LSU and Nick Saban on last second TD)
2015 - 12-2 - lost to MSU in Big Ten Championship game, lost 45-15 to Stanford in Rose Bowl
This is what I'm talking about.
The free message board dwelling Iowa fans just lose their shit and can't think straight when their team climbs the ranks.
Just no grace. No class.
They can't "act like they've been there" because they rarely have been there.
Should Iowa beat PSU and crack the top 4?
Oh hell. Look the f**k out.
Now you will have rural Iowa guy completely out of his element, and it won't be pretty.
Prepare to hear Iowa Nice (lol) a lot. Also prepare to hear how amazing Iowa fans are because we WAVE TO KIDS.
As big a loser on other peoples boards as you are ours, I see. Clown.
A group of us went to Iowa in 2019. We were all dressed in White painters pants and certainly drew the attention of their fans. We had a blast! We met some fans who gave us beer and food. They welcomes with open arms. We had a very similar experience st Michigan the year before. Every fan base has knuckleheads. At the end of the day, people are people and most of the time if you treat them decent they’ll do the same.
By this measure, it is completely possible that had it not been for bad turnovers by the Wisconsin QB, the Badgers may have beaten us.
By "our" I meant the Iowa board. He pretends to be an Iowa fan but pretty sure he is a husker troll.
