Re: Last thought on AFA

What did we play in the second half? Was it a different set/scheme than the first half. We seemed to almost shut them down in the second half. I just think they went conservative in the second half - like way more conservative than normal. They basically ran the ball up the middle on dive plays nea...

I always consider the trip to Colorado Springs at least a little as I have a sister up there.

Paging treesap32: will you reprise the USUFans pledge-per-win this year, now that the AD is doing something similar? I kinda hope so -- a. it kind of bonds our weird little family here, and b. it allows for prop bets like doubles for key wins, etc. that juice up the interest.

Game time temps in Iowa City

Given that weather forecasts from a week away are chancy, right now they're forecasting about 80 degrees at 11 am kickoff, heating up to about 94 by the end of the game, with around 50% humidity. Not Logan, but definitely not Tuscaloosa either.
