Ramblings from a mind that is often irrationally upset about things

 Iowa football is back. At least, for one game. The hometown Hawks came into Kinnick all gas, no brakes, and never looked back. You absolutely love to see it after a very disappointing first two games in the season. The defense was their normal dominant selves, special teams was great, the run game was utilized, and Petras didn't screw it up.  Recap Tyler Goodson opened the scoring with a 3 yd rushing TD. Petras followed that with 14 yd pass to Brandon Smith. Second quarter, Iowa opened the scoring with another Goodson rushing TD. Next, Charlie Jones ran a punt 54 yds back for a TD, followed almost immediately by Riley Moss returning an interception 54 yds for a pick six. Iowa led 35-0 at half. Mekhi Sargent added 2 rushing TD's in the second half and the Iowa defense did give up 1 TD in the third quarter for a final of 49-7. Iowa came away with their first win of the season in commanding fashion. Takeaways This game was all Iowa, all day. The offense put up 405 yards and the d

 I am not sure how many people were aware of this, but there was a legitimate 3rd party candidate on the ballot in all 50 states this election. Jo Jorgensen was nominated by the Libertarian Party along with VP Spike Cohen. I realize this may come as a shock to some due to a severe lack of coverage of her campaign. The Libertarian Party has nominated a candidate every presidential election for the last 52 years. The party averaged 1% or less of the vote in every election until the nomination of Gary Johnson in 2016. Johnson finished with 3.28% of the popular vote. This is an important number. Remember it. You probably remember Johnson from his viral  weed heart attack . If you haven't seen the video, it's worth the time. Johnson was involved in several debates, but none against either Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton. He was shut out of the last debate after the threshold was set at 15% polling. He was at 7% and probably would of climbed higher in polling had he been allowed to d

 Okay folks, buckle up, because this could be time to panic. Iowa came out and played like shit for all but 1 quarter of football and somehow only lost by 1 in another game that was there for them to win. It was a rough game to watch. I will do a brief recap and then drop some takes. Recap Iowa came out strong and put up a quick 14 points off turnovers. They punted on their opening drive and then recovered a muff to set up 1st and goal. Petras dropped a dime to Brandon Smith for the TD. Northwestern proceeded to fumble on their next possession setting Iowa up with another short field. Petras was accurate with his passing and almost impossible to sack. Iowa took advantage of the short field and capped off the drive with a Tyler Goodson rushing TD. Duncan added a field goal in the first quarter to give Iowa a 17-0 lead. The following drive Northwestern marched down the field and scored to make it 17-7. Iowa then proceeded to forget how to play football and never threatened the rest of th
