  1. Review that and not a fumble. Okay.
  2. I just returned from Iowa City after dropping off my daughter (no pics) for her sophomore year at Iowa (how she ended up at Iowa is a long story). So, while my experience is limited (3 visits total) here are some thoughts. Hopefully you already have hotel reservations, because like a lot of smaller college towns the good options are limited and on football weekends you have to be prepared to pay. The Hotel Vetro, as AI mentioned, is in a great location and is a cool hotel. We stayed there last weekend but right now the rooms for the Michigan weekend are running about $1,300/night. But they may be one of the only places that still has rooms available. As far as restaurants, we mainly stuck to the downtown spots and enjoyed St Birch Tavern, Pullman Bar & Diner, Basta, and Vue Rooftop (didn't actually eat here but had some drinks and enjoyed the view over the city). Micky's Irish Pub has a good Chicken sandwich and a good beer selection. And I will second AI suggestion on Big Grove Brewery as they have really good beer, good food and is a cool place to hang out. We went to a game last fall and enjoyed it (and admit that I thought the "wave" was cool). I can't offer much in terms of tailgating advice as we pregamed at one of the sports bars downtown to watch the Texas/TTech game. But there were tailgates all strown about, even in the parking lot of our hotel (Mariott Courtyard right across from the stadium). All in all I think it's a cool town to take in a game in the fall.
  3. Cobb is going to come through big tomorrow. LFG!
  4. Ya think someone on Texas's side would have been thinking this. Especially with the one guy on AF who was o-for on the day.
  5. You don’t just waltz into Manhattan and expect to win.
  6. It seems that during this recent bad stretch Faltine is either cranking one out or striking out. I like that he took this AB to launch one.
  7. That is not what I was hoping for after that showing on Sunday.
  8. It seems that the team is back to striking out an awfully lot.
  9. Game bitches! As much as the commentators hate it.
  10. Nice crowd even though there is a hint of corn dog in the air. and nice base running there.
