And when Saturday rolls around for the #Hawkeyes - Penn State Game - if you want to watch it on TV you will have to have Peacock - still a 6 PM CT kickoff at Kinnick Stadium.

Iowa's updated FBS Stats Rankings through last week's games (136 total teams).

The #Hawkeyes 37-0 win at Wisconsin resulted in small improvements in several offensive and defensive categories plus some minor fluctuations in others.

Wait until Petey runs for president and the family resources get diverted to that fool's errand.

Also - love seeing USC pound the hell out of Michigan. Can't stand cheaters and the Wolverines are a shameful great example of that. #B1G

Now let's hope the Trojans can carry that forward into their game with Notre Dame (for as long as I can remember my 2nd favorite team is the one playing ND).

Said it multiple times: Jed Hoyer is a perfect example of The Peter Principle (the book could have been written about him). And Tom Rickets is the "MLB Owner" version of that - for extending Hoyer when he did. Now the #Cubs are doomed to flounder under Hoyer indefinitely (see not resigning Tuck).

Cubs hired the wrong guy from Mikwaukee and overpaid him, too. If you're not going to spend on players, it doesn't matter who the manager is.

I can't wait to see what this off-season looks like. /s

FINAL: FADE TO BLACK...& GOLD

Iowa 37 - Wisconsin 0

The #Hawkeyes dominate from start to finish - a cakewalk (or bratwalk) leads to a rare shutout in Madison. UI has outscored the #Badgers by 69 points over the last 2 games. The Bull stays in IC. Great performance by the Hawks.

3Q End: Iowa 30 - Wisconsin 0

I think it's safe to say the rout is on (for the 2nd straight year). The #Hawkeyes have now outscored the #Badgers 62-0 over the last 6 Quarters! That's amazing given the history in this series.

2Q End: Iowa 23 - Wisconsin 0

The #Hawkeyes have dominated the 1H - great 30 minutes of play. All 3 phases are contributing. Wisconsin has more Unsportsmanlike Penalties (3) than points (0). UW gets the ball to start the 2H. #Badgers have 3 turnovers - all leading to UI points.

I remain forever and always convinced Kirk has some secret clause in his contract whereby he gets bonuses for every timeout he DOESN'T take.

1Q End: Iowa 17 - Wisconsin 0

It's been all #Hawkeyes - until the last second when Gronowski threw a pick. Otherwise UI has been rock solid in all 3 phases - including to picks that led to 14 of Iowa's points.

I think it's a combination of things - the primary one being they have been getting out-recruited by Penn State in particular and Ohio State, for example, has become a very strong program as well. But The Nittany Lions are the dominant team in the sport now and have been for several years.

The Men's Wrestling schedule has been released. Maybe this will be the season where they become tournament ready - you can win all the duels you want (and that matters) - but the #Hawkeyes need to be much better in the #B1G and #NCAA Tournaments. Been an issue for a long time now.
