Yes please. Let's fucking go Cincinnati. That said, I expect them to get crushed in their first game. [Reply]
I turned the Iowa "game" off at halftime. What a snoozefest. Then I checked the score later...holy crap, looks like they just imploded in the 2nd half. Which is frankly not surprising. Iowa is not, has never been, and never will be a great team. They are decent to good.
I say this as a Nebraska fan whose team set records in futility this season, but at least was in every game and was fun to watch. Iowa football just sucks. This game proved it. If Nebraska ever figures out a way to stop stepping on their own dicks, they will own this division. Big if... [Reply]

Take him please.
He is too inconsistent. He ruined momentum by switching QBs on drives and blew multiple chances to beat P5 teams by not calling good plays. He is capable but he hit his peak.

It was usually an unexpected, heartbreaking bounce, a surprise upset from an upstart school, or a drunken night from their star QB that would doom Bill.
I would say Michigan ran Iowa off the field but Iowa was more than happy to start running off of it themselves. Just no urgency whatsoever in the first half against a clearly superior opponent.
1999 Big 12 Championship Game is an all-time heartbreaker. [Reply]

This is rich and funny coming from a futile Nebraska fan... Hell, I remember when Nebraska was in the Big 10 Championship, yes, years ago and it only took a little over a quarter for the opposition to put up 42... Nebraska will never own much, well, unless they go back to the Big 12, minus Texas and Oklahoma... [Reply]

Fake slides should be penalties in the future.
I don't blame him for doing it, but this needs to be corrected in the future.
Yeah, he supposedly intended on sliding at first as opposed to faking them out, but it's still bullshit.... it's similar to QBs that get a couple more yards at the sidelines when defenders pull up and don't want to get flagged for a hit out of bounds.
Not sure how I feel about penalizing it, but at the very least, call the play dead at that spot.... the issue could fix itself when defenders would rather take a 15 yard penalty by blasting a faker than pulling up. [Reply]
