Black, Gold and Orange

Haven't posted as much recently due to being out of town for Labor Day, and returning to a full schedule of work and website building. No, the website is not mine, but rather, a refresh of the New Life site.

My season of football prognosticating got off to a great start with an Iowa win (41-7) right in line with what I said would happen (41-13). Now for week two. Iowa travels to New York for a game against Syracuse. Their football program is, by all accounts, dismal. Several years ago when the schedule was made, the Orange were a .500 team that fought to got to a throwaway bowl. In fact, they were a lot like Iowa as Ferentz in his third season.

But Iowa has gotten better, and Syracuse has gone down the tubes.

If this were a Big Ten game, it would be something like Iowa vs. another orange team, the Illini. I think the score will be similar to Iowa traveling to a place like Champaign-Urbana. Not a blowout like Montana, but not topnotch competition either.

The Hawks come home 2-0 hungry for dates with Iowa State, Ohio State and Purdue.

Iowa 31
Syracuse 10
