    Iowa HS FB -- Round 1 (Wed. 10/29)

    *Most home games. In the last few years Dowling has used Waukee, Johnston, Hoover, Drake, Urbandale, and East for games, and I think in the past they even used Indianola once.

    Iowa HS FB -- Round 1 (Wed. 10/29)

    Dowling has used East for every home game in the playoffs since 2010. Nothing new to this year. 10-1 there in playoff games since then. Those places charge $$$ to host games there but East has been very accommodating and has made a good chunk of money off concessions since then.

    Iowa HS FB -- Round 1 (Wed. 10/29)

    Rumors about a ton of east-siders showing up at the Dowling/Ames game Monday. Doubt it will be the scope of east side reunion night at the fair but an interesting storyline nonetheless

    Iowa HS FB -- Week 9

    IMO the state has opened themselves up to a lot of accusations and criticism by not setting brackets ahead of time. I still think in 4A (Western IA) things will get seeded and they will play it out that way. First 8 seeds I believe would be pretty close, 9-16 are what I think they will do to...

    Iowa HS FB -- Week 9

    Urbandale/Fort Dodge has some implications as far as who will get to host a first round game. Very curious to see outcome of Ankeny/SEP game though. Ankeny had some very tough luck early in the year otherwise would be sitting at 8-0 going into this game. (Granted not the hardest schedule in the...

    Iowa HS FB -- Week 8

    I don't think either the Valley game or Waukee game will be within 3 or 4 scores. I have been very vocal about opposing the playoff expansion the last several years but one thing it certainly does is make a lot more of these end of season games interesting. Johnston has 2 big games as far as the...

    Infant and Pregnancy Loss Awarness Day

    We lost what would have been our third. Was tough but the doctors were so good about it that it made it much easier. Plus at that point with 2 others we had our hands full. I'm sure it is much more difficult to go through when it is the first. A couple months later my wife was pregnant again...

    Things Heard at the Game

    Why did that small part of the student section insist on starting "CYCLONE POWER" when we were driving? Have some football knowledge.

    How much would a "normal" schedule have changed things?

    I believe confidence is huge in sports. What if we played all our non con first 3 games like everyone else and are 2-1 playing K-state. Does the game end differently? Nothing we can do about it now but I think if ISU starts 2-1 the attitude everywhere about this team is a lot different.

    I've been getting a few retweets on my comments to the @Big12Conference. I'd encourage everyone to tweet them and send emails/call. That could make this a very big deal
