Going back to my college town

I must say that it has been a long time since I went back to Iowa City to spend some time there. I think it was in the summer of 07 to be exact. I know many things have changed since I was last there but somethings stayed the same. It is the weekend of the Michigan game. It is probably the biggest home game of the year. It will show if Iowa is for real or not. Both teams are going in with good records so far in the season. Iowa has a 5-0 record and Michigan coming off of the terrible season last year is at the 4-1 mark. Both teams have played games that have come very close to going the other way, especially Michigan. It is going to be interesting to see who's luck continues and whose runs out.

Iowa is going to win though. The guys have to be pumped up after last weeks hair razor. As long as they dont pack it in during the second half they should be good. All they need is to play consistently throughout the game to win. But that is easier said than done. They usually play very well for a half but not an entire game. I think this is the game that the do it, and they come away with the W. I am not one of those people that think they will run the table, but I do think they will win all but two of there games this year.

Excited for football!

Finally sports resume again this weekend. After the long summer of boredom, sports is returning with a vengence. The NCAA Football starts this weekend. I know I will sit down hours just to watch the games. The first game I plan to see is my Iowa Hawkeyes play a warm up against UNI. Northern Iowa isn't a slouch either, it's just that they can not compete against a big program like Iowa.

There are going to be a lot of good games this year cause I think that every passing year the game just gets better and better.

They say that the Big Ten conference is going to be down this year again. I really do not agree with the experts. I do agree that there is one team that is always on top, Ohio State, but anyone can beat anyone in that league. It is really amazing how teams that dont have a chance can pull out a win. I will admit it isn't a top level conference but it doesnt deserve the dogging that it has gotten the past couple of years. The season always ends to early there are still teams that play while the big ten sits on it's ass.

Lets go Hawkeyes, future big ten champs.
