A few FB thoughts

Posted on September 24, 2026 at 08:07:32 AM by ny1995

1. It is not fair, and I know you play this year’s team and not some genetic legacy associated with the jersey, but I cannot take Iowa seriously. Like I could see them winning 12-10 (product of my age) but it’s Iowa! If we score 17 we should win, right?

2. Not sure I saw it on the board, but after McCoy got injured there was a lot of talk about the yin and yang of UM sports. And then we got the WMU Hail Mary. Paid in full?

3. I somehow keep finding myself wanting to call BU “Devin”. It’s not a race thing. We’ve had plenty of black QBs and I haven’t had this issue before. I guess somewhere in my brain, BU is the “what if” case of DG. (Though I don’t think DG ever had the “arm talent” of BU)

Back to the board

  - not me. I thought 98 for a QB was an abomination… - By ajs September 24, 2026 at 08:58:19 AM
- It would be easier to believe in a dynamic Iowa offense if they didn't look like the same old team against an ISU that lost 3/4 of their team to transfers* - By Credit September 24, 2026 at 08:26:48 AM

  - I mean, we won a national championship bro. Fair trade would be for football to outright suck for a year, or multiple years of mediocrity. But as we all know, Dusty's departure paid a lot of that debt on its own. - By jjwalker September 24, 2026 at 08:16:47 AM
    - Thing about this “trade” I mention - By ny1995 September 24, 2026 at 08:28:00 AM
    - The fair trade was the Moore fiasco. His departure then got mirrored by Dusty's.* - By ftb September 24, 2026 at 08:27:41 AM
