Fidone appears to be fired up and ready to go. I haven’t heard anything about Gilbert‘s performance during Winter conditioning, but if both are healthy and ready to play it would be interesting to see them both on the field at the same time. It might be like having two Travis K’s on the field at the same time. That, along with a very mobile, fast and athletic QB might be a very threatening offense.

May get another look from the P5.

@Zack Carpenter's alma mater is making the trip to Lincoln for a three-game series this weekend. Hit the link.

How will this affect Iowa football or the athletic program in general? Seems like a death sentence.

Could these two coaches be any different? I’m amazed at the energy level that Rhule has shown. The guy just exudes energy. Meeting with the BB team today was a pretty cool gesture

I just read that there are 139 players on the roster, but when they had the team competition they had 11 teams with 10 players on the team. What happened to the other 29? Injuries can explain some players not competing, but that still leaves a lot of people unaccounted for.

We're back at Haymarket Park today on another cloudy, cold day as Nebraska (7-4-1) hosts Illinois State (5-6) to begin the three-game home weekend series. The Huskers have been on a roll by winning seven of their last eight games including a quick two-game sweep of Northern Colorado as Nebraska scored 26 runs and smacked eight home runs. Here's that series recap:


The Redbirds come into this weekend series having lost four of their last five losing two of three from Central Arkansas while losing a single midweek game to No. 3 Arkansas last week. Here's a preview of the Redbirds for this weekend:


Tonight has the possibility of a pitcher's dual as it will be LHP Emmett Olson (1-1, 4.32 ERA, 16.2 IP) vs. RHP Derek Salata (2-0, 1.72 ERA, 15.2 IP). Now, Salata probably isn't as good as his ERA indicates, but by no means is he bad. I expect a sweep, but if the Redbirds swipe a game, it'll be today.

Already a big "upset" with Auburn over Wahoo in C1.

Please use this thread to discuss annual subjects such as the need for a shot clock and private school recruiting.

The Colorado Regents are meeting tonight to discuss joining the Big 12. The reason is that Pack 12 hasn’t been able to get a media contract. The Big 12 has been in contact with the Arizona schools Utah and Colorado. Don’t know anything about the other West coast teams.

Okay, so I am bored and I was looking at the schedule and guessing at what this season might be like. So I thought what the heck, why not start a prediction thread?
So many factors to consider. QB play. Offensive line improvement. Linebacker improvement. Better pass rush... So here goes:

@Minnesota: Loss. The Rhule era gets off to a rocky start. If this was not our first game and were it not on the road I would pencil this in the win column.
@CU: On the road and tons of fans will be in the stands with high emotion to see Deion's first game as coach. But we find a way to win.
Northern Illinois: A win. It better be and it will be. Rhule is not Mike Riley
La Tech: Same as above. No more Georgia Southerns. Rhule is not Scott Frost
Michigan: Loss. The talent gap is still too large.
@Illinois: Win. We should have beaten these turds last year.
Northwestern: Win. The Fitzgerald magic has worn off.
Purdue: Win. By this point in the season there will be momentum. Home game. We beat these guys.
@MSU: Win. MSU was really bad last year. Of course, so were we. But we always play very competitively against these guys. A solid road win
Maryland: Win. Home game and riding a four game win streak.
@Wisconsin: Win. I am tempted to predict a loss here. Mainly because Wisconsin has had our number since we joined the conference. I think we get some revenge here.
Iowa: WIN!!! And it won't be close this year.

As you can see, I am drinking the Rhule-Aid. I really think we are going to be a much improved team this year. And other than Michigan, there is not another team on our schedule that has more talent than we do. That is why I see a regular season at 10-2 with a trip to Indianapolis. Am I dreaming? Am I full of shit?

Not sure if it's been posted but what we gotta do to make thr NIT now after beating Francis and the cuckeyes? Does that get us in or do we need to win a game in the tourney still?

Does Neb use Game Changer?

@RVAHusker shared a excellent video about Tony White’s 3-3-5 defense. Not only the history of it but his connections to the Defensive master mind and father of the 3-3-5 in Rocky Long. Remember this is the defense that Brian Urlacher starred in at New Mexico.

At the 11:00 mark is when it really gets into the X & O’s of White’s defense at Syracuse. It gives one a much better understanding how the 3-3-5 is multiple and can turn into many different fronts. Also goes into Iowa State’s 3-3-5 some as well.

Let's think out loud about the inside linebackers.

>> Thoughts on Luke Reimer and Nick Henrich
>> Ernie Hausmann made an appearance on a Michigan athletic department podcast
>> Chief Borders and MJ Sherman on the inside?
>> Could a safety or two change positions?
>> Should we expect Eric Fields to see snaps in 2023?

Not sure if anyone has posted anything yet but Bucky712 from the MB, his family had a terrible accident yesterday which claimed the life of his wife and his youngest daughter. Three of his children luckily survived and there is a go fund me started for his family linked below. Anyone that frequents TMB knows Bucky, he's a die-hard Iowa fun but a good dude. Any donations would be greatly appreciated, I know its going to be a long road ahead for his family, and probably a ton of medical bills, especially for his one daughter. Also any prayers for his family would be greatly appreciated. Thanks everyone!
