@TheRickWebster Defense held Oregon to 16. That should be enough to win at home. Yes, the offense went 93 yards on the final drive. Impressive drive. And yes, Oregon’s run game burned Iowa much of the day. But too many mistakes on offense and special teams for Iowa today.

@rizzayfoshizzay @adamj_griff Caucuses are organized and run by the political parties. They are not official elections. It’s a very informal process, and yes, it can seem quaint and quirky to a lot of people (Iowans included).

@adamj_griff I had NO IDEA how old school this process is. Some precincts ran out of “ballots” (which are just 1/4 sheets of paper) so then they made makeshift ones with yellow legal pad paper 🤦🏻‍♂️

@ESPNRittenberg That was called by officials on the field though. Calling that on a review is part of what’s really rubbing people the wrong way.

As several have pointed out, a similar invalid fair catch by Wisconsin against Northwestern in 2015 wiped out a punt return touchdown. youtube.com/watch?v=Mx-9ui…

Whether it’s reviewable by current rule or not, it shouldn’t be. If you aren’t confused by the motion (or don’t catch it) in real time…then it’s not gaining an unfair advantage. If that’s reviewable, then let’s review holding and PI situations…that actually DO impact plays.

@cjandringa That’s the letter of the rule, yes. I think the rub is…NOBODY in the stadium (including officials on the field) or watching the broadcast thought that was the case. Only the replay official thought it warranted a closer look. And that’s a weird situation to replay, IMO.

By request, the short version: *Any arm waving is a fair catch signal. *If it's not a valid signal, then it's an *invalid* signal. *Both kill the play at the point of the catch.

And yes, as an official myself, I’m breaking the golden rule of not criticizing other officials. I usually bite my tongue. But that was difficult to stomach…on the biggest stage. Unfortunate.

Two things can be true: Early on, the officials took the air out of what could and should have been an amazing game. Little consistency. Injected themselves needlessly. LSU shot lights out and took this one. It was just their day. Unforgettable season, @IowaWBB. Thank you.

Dear ESPN, This will be the most-watched women’s basketball game in history. Please STOP with the crazy camera angles.

I’m fairly strong and tough and independent. But I just wish sometimes it didn’t have to be this hard. That I could find sometime to connect with and share my life with. Sending love out into the world and hoping it comes back ten-fold. 💗

@JSchaeffCreates Exactly. Get caught and you simply leave the game and get replaced. No additional penalty. Don’t get caught, and you have a huge, illegal advantage over the opponents. There has to be a more severe punishment to deter players from trying to get away with it.

@JSchaeffCreates @B1Gbaseball Why can’t it be a forfeit? I realize that’s a huge penalty for something one guy on a team does…but this isn’t a run-of-the-mill infraction, like a balk, or obstruction, etc. It’s CHEATING. Unacceptable that the player just gets tossed, count to batter stays, and game goes on.

Michigan pitcher gets caught cheating. Gets ejected. That’s it though!? There has to be a bigger repercussion. We are talking about an elimination game #bigten @B1Gbaseball

@knightsnclones Agreed. State track is way underrated outside of track junkies. Iowa’s is one of the best and biggest in the country.

There was some discussion on here yesterday about the top high school sports event in iowa. I was completely in the camp of football at the dome but may have to change my tune after coming here for the first time today.

I am reading the menu for Tupelo Honey because I’m going tonight and they keep saying “milky gravy” and it’s so unappetizing 🤢
