Marc Morehouse is a yo-yo. He thinks the iowa rush offense has an advantage over our rush defense!!???

marc morehouse is without question one of the best beat writers in the entire midwest.

he also thinks UNI should move up to FBS.

Most of us aren't hawkeye fans.

Morehouse would pick Iowa twice if they played USC & Oregon in a doubleheader, in Denver.

Based on his write-up, how do you get that Iowa has an advantage on the living game? Something missing there.

Re: CR Gazette should be called Hawkeye Gazette

The only thing I really question is the special teams advantage. Read the stats which are all better for UNI, but the advantage is Iowa. Think he's got that one backwards.

Other than that, I don't think he's too far off his rocker.

Re: CR Gazette should be called Hawkeye Gazette

How does he figure that Iowa is going to put up 27? They haven't scored that many this season!!! Thats those black and gold blinders for you.

Agreed. I don't see how someone can get bent out of shape about this article. That said, I disagree with you in that you're reading too much into stats. Iowa has played two teams who could be fairly decent. UNI obviously has Wisconsin, but also obviously has a DII team thrown in. That does not make for an apples to apples comparison. Would UNI's men's basketball stats mean anything after two games if one of them was against Coe or Wartburg? Hell no.

Really, and he works for the CRG? Seems like I would have heard of him if that were the case. Maybe not, I guess I can't name many beat writers. So few of them exist anymore in this modern era without hard copy newspapers.

The article doesn't bother me, but it's obvious he's a hawkeye writer and was going to give the edge to the hawks regardless of what his analysis said, so why even bother? Look at the intangibles, it seems like all his points are in favor of UNI, then he gives Iowa the advantage as a conclusion.

I give Iowa the edge in this game too, but I'm predicting a UNI win. It's time.

I agree. That's part of the reason I don't put too much credencence into this "article". You are going a little overboard going DI basketball to Coe/Wartburg - a little dramatic are we?

However, the only place I see him a little out of whack is special teams. He sites last years punting - so "better athletes" were trying to block the kicks. I respond with the "better athletes" blocking for the Iowa punter. Check the stats in the article, the UNI punter has a better average (by 5 yds) than Iowa. We didn't punt much last week and let me tell you, Bucky was coming after the punter the week before.

Other than that, I thought the special teams were about equal (based on what he mentioned). Thus I saw the edge going to UNI.

Oh, I'm not bent out of shape over this article. Just pointing out my disagreement on one part. We are FCS. We are supposed to be the underdog, and I, for one, like our chances no matter what this beat writter, or anyone else thinks.

Re: CR Gazette should be called Hawkeye Gazette

I agree with his last paragraph. But at this point Iowa isn't capable of 27 points against anybody in D1. Some nice UNI bulletin board material in there.

Don't we play at YSU and host NDSU?

Re: CR Gazette should be called Hawkeye Gazette

Seriously, his is breaking news here on PN? News flash CR is IC North. What do people expec?.

My quetion is, why isn't there outrage that CF-Waterloo Currier isn't printing a similar article on behalf of the Panthers? Answer, because they know who pays the frieght and there are more Hawk readers than Panther readers of that news paper too.

I love the Panthers as much as anyone, but you guys who try and make a big deal about this kind of stuff make us all look really small minded and out of touch. Jeezus, grow up.

Thank goodness he corrected us! I would have gone to Fargo on the 29th! Nice work "best beat writer in the midwest!"
