@ChadLeistikow Iowa is back

One last time (this season): 3-word headlines?

Iowa MBB is a 10.5 point underdog tonight heading into Purdue.

@SteveDHink @DavidEickholt Those two both left for pretty specific and unique reasons. I agree with you on the Iowa State guys. I figured we'd get at least a nibble or two from the ones that didn't get invited to Penn State. Maybe the rivalry seeps in enough to keep guys away.🤷🏻‍♂️

A+ job in this portal cycle thus far for Iowa. Can’t imagine the job of college recruiting staffs during this period. Sprinkle a few beers in there.

@JeffreyTheGreek Gotta imagine he was trying to get to Texas Tech. Bottomless pockets and he'd be playing on a very good defense. But Tech took a guy before he could visit, so he had to grab a chair before the music stopped.

Koen to Louisville. I’m a bit butt-hurt. I admit that. But you can’t tell me the following two things aren’t true: • He took the 💰 • That’s a big downgrade

@john_suchy @ChrisMWilliams I’d imagine so. They are both good gigs, but Michigan is just a better job.

@ChrisMWilliams I know there is know way of knowing, but do you think he would have preferred UM?

Matt Campbell to Michigan.

@BiggerTen Lot of good games here. Penn State/Pitt in a frozen Yankee Stadium would be a must watch. Minnesota/Iowa State will be chippy.

@RedditCFB Schrödinger's Bowl

There are 12 playoff spots, plus 68 Playoff spots in 34 bowls that we know about. There are allegedly 2 additional spots in a bowl that will replace the Bahamas Bowl this year that we have no information when it will be or where. 🤷

80 teams finish the season bowl eligible for 82 spots. All 80 will go bowling, alongside both Missouri State and Delaware, who are in their transitional year from FCS.

@TomFornelli Iowa/Nebraska over on a cold, windy, snowy day. How was this not the TTOTD?!

The Iowa/Nebraska over hits before halftime.

@Hassel_Chris RVZ had one earlier this year.

Honestly can’t remember the last time I’ve seen an Iowa WR make a catch like this!

@JeffreyTheGreek I'm having 2023 flashbacks...

I don’t feel positive

@ChrisMWilliams letting the clock wind from :25 to :12 was bizarre. It's 4th down, if you are intent on running a play, make it the last play.

Michigan State going for it right there is one of the single worst coaching decisions I have ever seen.

@ChrisMWilliams I don’t hate the guy. I’m rooting for him. But I’m happy with the change that was made.

Big mistake by the Hawks. Fran revenge tour.

@IowaEverywhere @mcsamson @Hassel_Chris @ChrisMWilliams It's his old catch phrase "itspoklafishanfordasporting". Never really caught on.

@mcsamson @Hassel_Chris @ChrisMWilliams

Soon… Two Guys with Chris & Chris 7p 2nite

Wisconsin has already played the currently ranked CFP teams: #4 Bama #21 Michigan #20 Iowa #1 Ohio St #9 Oregon And has yet to play: #23 Washington #2 Indiana

@Hassel_Chris Also 9. I don't even know what some of these mean.

Only 9

@jayhauck68 @ESPNRittenberg He's invited. Haven't seen anyone say for sure if he'll go.

@ESPNRittenberg Will Fitz be there?

Pat Fitzgerald appears several times (rightfully so) in this highlight clip of the 1995 Northwestern Rose Bowl team, which will be honored at Saturday's game against Purdue.

@MichiganPodcast From a non-UM fan's perspective, this seemed like a stopgap hire from the jump. DeBoer was already at Alabama before Harbaugh even left Michigan and there weren't any big names left out there. I'm kind of a pessimist, but I didn't think it would even go as well as it has.

3 Things hard not to notice: 1) Sherrone wasn't at Michigan's two best performances in 2025. 2) This is worst blocking/tackling Michigan team in non-Covid year since Hoke. 3) Michigan consistently starts slow under Sherrone. Opponent has scored first in 6 of his 7 losses.

@JeffreyTheGreek 😂 My absolute favorite part of this is watching him drag national college football pundits, kicking and screaming, into the new reality of college football.

@mdvanc3 Dude, I couldn’t even do this in the video game. At least not above Freshman settings 🤣

Nobody should expect to get Curt Cignetti. Ciggy is a fairy tail.
