November 25

The Christmas tree is up at Todd's house and he has mixed feelings about it. Iowa State suddenly finds itself back in the Big 12 title hunt and dreaming on a CFP appearance after a chaotic week of college football. There was chaos surrounding the Hawkeyes as well, but most of the drama came off the field. Once it was time to play Maryland, the Hawkeyes took care of business. Jackson Stratton is this week's BMOC despite not throwing for over 100 yards. Is there something to Stratton or is he more Jeremy Lin than Lou Gehrig? Todd uses a chat with Iowa Heartlanders coach Derek Damon to lobby for a hypothetical championship ring.
