Nevada's starting RB, James Butler is grad transferring to Iowa. He's coming off a couple 1,300 yard seasons. Looking at tape of him he actually kinda reminds me of Wadley a bit. That's gonna be a super fun RB duo, and Iowa returns basically its entire offensive line. gently caress passing

i am also of the opinion that if you can literally run the other team down, you should indeed run the dang ball every play

Hi I'm Jon. What do you think of Pepsi Cinnamon, will it light a fire under players. I am not sure how I feel about cinnamon in cola, so if you could let know if its worth trying that would be nice. Thanks from your pal Jon!

Thank you for that. One of the quotes has immediately become part of my permanent vocabulary:

In a sense, if the Lions knew nothing, they would have tied with the dart board. They did worse. They knew a negative amount of things.

PS Vue is raising their prices (Sports package is going from $35 to 45).

What's the cheapest way now of getting BTN and the major ESPN channels? Sling doesn't seem to have BTN.

I'm sure some smaller ones are but in major conferences its usually the result of creative accounting.

Iowa has like tripled its revenue over the last several years due to all the TV money they're getting now. But they're a non-profit that has to pretend it can't afford to compensate labor so new multimillion dollar buildings for everyone!!! That football stadium that we just did extensive renovations on like a decade ago? It definitely needs another facelift. Oh shoot all the money is gone, huh that's crazy
