IOWA VS. WISCONSIN

HUGE game to take place in Legendary Kinnick Stadium Saturday at 2:30pm on ABC. Shonn Greene will be the honorary Captain for the Iowa Hawkeyes this week. Shonn Greene has a highlight video on Youtube of what he did to the Badgers last time they were in Kinnick.
Wisconsin is a lot like Iowa, they want to run first, then pass. Its going to be a good old fashion Big Ten smash mouth football, and may even include some raindrops. The battle is going to be in the trenches between the Wisconsin big-o-offensive line and Iowa's defensive line. Iowa did very well last year in Camp Randall, and Iowa has done well versus Wisconsin in the last decade, especially in big games. 2004 Iowa beat Wisconsin at home to win a share of the Big Ten title. Iowa beat Wisconsin at Camp Randall in Barry Alvarez's last game as head coach of the Badgers. Tomorrow will be a big spot too, and its in Kinnick Stadium. This will be the game were Rick Stanzi is going to have to play very well as Wisconsin will load the box to stop the run, and Stanzi's WR's could be too much for an average Wisconsin secondary. Iowa's offensive line will need to protect Stanzi and open some holes for Adam Robinson. Wisconsin has a good defensive line as well, so that will be key for the Hawks to establish a run game.
I think the biggest factory is coaching. Ferentz teams make great adjustments, and as long as Iowa doesn't give up a Special Teams touchdown or spot Wisconsin 14 points right away, they should be fine. Iowa was down to Wisconsin last year and fought back at Camp Randall.
I fully expect the 12th man of Kinnick Stadium to be very loud tomorrow and looking foward to it.

Lets keep the BULL (Heartland Trophy) in its rightful place in Iowa City, and lets take down the Roadkill Sewer Rats of Madison.

GO HAWKS!!!!!!

Patriots-Vikings in Trade Talks to Send Moss Back Home

The Minnesota Vikings are in serious trade talks with the New England Patriots in having Randy Moss traded to the Vikings were he started his career. The Vikings couldn't get a trade worked out with the San Diego Chargers for Vincent Jackson as the Chargers GM wanted a little too much for Jackson which will end up hurting the Chargers later when he walks at the end of the year and they have nothing for him.
If I am the Wilf family I do everything and anything to get Randy Moss back in a Vikings uniform. Brett Favre wanted Moss in Green Bay when he signed with New England, well he might get his chance this time. It appears that the Vikings just have to work out the money for Moss for an extension on his contract, but if they do have to give some draft picks up, do it. If you have to send Berrian, do it. Do whatever it takes to get him in Minneapolis by tomorrow evening. How awesome will be that I can break out my Randy Moss Vikings jersey again if this deal gets done. Who would have ever thought 5 years ago that Bret Favre would be a Viking, and then Randy Moss would come back as well, no way would I believe it, but it just might happen. SKOL VIKINGS!!!!

My Favorite NBA Team

I know that we are in Football season and loving every minute of it. But of course Lebron had to have some air time about how the race card is being used on him and his "DECISION". Give me a break dude, you are the biggest crybaby millionaire that I have never met. I'm sure all those who walked before you didn't deal with way worse race issues than what you deal with. Can Lebron find an excuse for everything? I think he is realizing that he will never win as many titles as Jordan or Kobe, and that every tag line for him is a fail. The "Chosen one", "The King", "We are all Witnesses" to what I am not sure of yet. Maybe if the Heat don't win the title this year it will be because on Oct. 1st Slacker Sports wrote bad things about Baby Lebron. Somebody call Harold Minor and let him know that the Baby Jordan tag has been removed and Lebron wants it, except he is not worthy to have the Jordan part, so it will be just Baby Lebron. So I don't really follow an NBA team, the Bulls were my team when MJ & Pippen played, and the Bulls destroyed there franchise for like 11 years, so it kind of killed it for me. I do like watching playoffs, but regular season doesn't do a whole lot for me. But I am declaring on this day that my favorite team will be whoever the Heat are playing. I don't want to see the Heat win a title, and in fact nothing would be better than a 1st round exit in the playoffs. That whole 3 man show they had in Miami was great if it was the WWE, where was the other Miami Heat members? Apparently they are so good, they are going to play 3 on 5 this season. Nothing says look at me like that production. I remember the Bulls as a team doing parades and stuff, but they were winning titles, and doing it at the end of the season. I don't recall MJ, Pippen and fill in the blank having a 3 man concert at the United Center saying look at how cool we are, we are NBA players that are good, and we are going to win it all, not just once, like 15 times. Good Luck 29 other NBA teams, I will be rooting you on.
