Another bright spot in a dark time to be remembered in my book is Nate Swift. Never was the fastest or strongest but he worked his butt off and gave this team four quality years of service and helped both Zac and Ganz out.

Not losing your mind at all, Hanson is hurt and I'm guessing Suh told the coach he could since he has a soccer background before football.

No, if you buy a student ticket, it will need to be validated, which normally costs the same as the ticket price. But, you can't use someone else's student ticket without validation. Looks like I'm traveling to Lincoln on the 13th GBR!

Random question but it relates to the game, if I was to buy a ticket in the student section do they look at your university ID before they let you in? Here at the UofIowa they make you but I didnt know if it was the same. If they dont looks like I might buy a ticket and pay the same price to watch it live.

Call me crazy but I think it might be in our best interests to rest Taylor if it truly is a deep thigh/bone bruise. Those can take months to heal fully and I think the offense with Lee as QB is quite capable of beating up on the likes of ISU and KU. I would rather give him a week or two off to get back to 100% than to have him play every game the rest of the year at 60-70% because he never has time to fully recover from the intial injury and keeps reaggrevating it.

In Sagrin's defense, his ratings usually are pretty accurate at the end of the season. If you go to the actual site he offers a very detailed explanation of how the system works but a quick cover on it is this: The ratings are 50% based on wins and losses only, the Elo Chess rankings. Elo Chess are the rankings he turns into the BCS. The other 50% factors in margin of victory/defeat in with wins and losses, Pure Points, also known as the Predictor. Therefore the rankings you see there are the combination of both what you have done in the season, and how the computer thinks you will fare in the future. Losing to Texas by 7 and Missouri beating then #1 Oklahoma at the time by 9 is what is making their predictor score better than ours. Hopefully that help explains why we are behind them by, read his page for the official description.
