Usually just talk Cowboys, Iowa Hawkeyes, and sports on here but some cool personal news happened yesterday

The Iowa #Hawkeyes didn't have to travel, but their opponent, the Purdue Boilermakers, are facing some adversity. The FAA flight grounding has thrown a serious wrench in Purdue's travel plans. What this means for Iowa vs. Purdue⬇️si.com/college/iowa/football…

How many college football games are going to see kickoffs moved around tomorrow due to the FAA grounding all flights? You have to slide some kicks back if a team is forced to drive overnight tonight, right?

The Giants navy blue helmet against the royal blue names, numbers, & stripes on the jerseys & pants really annoys me.

Joey Porter Jr. isn't injured. Joey Porter Jr. just doesn't love football & doesn't want to play, but wants the NFL contract check to cash. The #DallasCowboys got played. Hope for the best. Accept the worst. Move on. Cut bait.
Joey Porter Jr. was listed as a DNP at Wednesday's practice after Brian Schottenheimer said the Cowboys CB was expected to do something at practice. Evidently, it wasn't enough to qualify him as a limited participant. @1053SS, @rjchoppy and @BobbyBeltTX react⤵️

I'm a firm believer that the Iowa #Hawkeyes control their own CFP destiny, but who ever turned down a little help? From the Big Ten to the SEC to the Big 12 to the ACC, there are plenty of games Iowa has an interest in. Here's your Iowa CFP Rooting guide:si.com/college/iowa/football…

No 10-2 Power Four team has EVER been left out for a 9-3 team. The College Football Playoff committee values overall record & wins versus "good losses" I don't expect it to start now. Iowa has to get to 10-2.
This ranking, and Iowa jumping four spots, sends one message: If the Iowa #Hawkeyes win out, they will be in the College Football Playoff.

Tiers of what the best College Football postseason would be: 8-team playoff 12-team playoff 4-team playoff BCS computers 16-team playoff 24-team playoff

"We hear you. We know most people don't want this. But we're extremely greedy and are going to expand the College Football Playoff anyways."
NEW: CFP executive director Rich Clark on fans against the 24-team College Football Playoff: "We’re aware of the fan sentiment, and that many fans aren’t in favor of expansion. That was certainly weighed into the decision and it was considered. But ultimately, we just need to make a spectacular Playoff." on3.com/news/cfp-executive-d…

Fantastic read. "The College Football Playoff committee has never left out a 10-2 or better team from the Power Four for a team with three losses before the conference championships." Iowa #Hawkeyes fans - @PeteFiutak is your voice of reason and logic down the stretch.
College Football 5 Thoughts: Iowa's CFP Case, Indiana's Schedule, and Is the Heisman Race Over? After the biggest weekend of the season, is Iowa really a College Football Playoff team? What now for the Heisman, and what's the quirk in Indiana's schedule? collegefootballnews.com/coll…

Iowa #Hawkeyes win. #DallasCowboys win. Brother down visiting for the weekend. Hell of a weekend is being had. Can't complain about this.

As I'm starting to see CFP final predictions on this platform ... I'm calm and rational about these things, but kids, I will personally grab a pitchfork and torch if a 9-3 SEC team actually gets in ahead of a 10-2 Iowa

It is November, and we live in a world where the 7-2 Iowa #Hawkeyes are closer to controlling their own destiny in the College Football Playoff race than needing help. If a 2-loss Iowa gets snubbed for a 3-loss SEC team, why play the games then? You can't have that travesty.

1 foot. 2 foot. Foot goes out of bounds. Why is this that complicated? It should be a touchdown every time.

Ready for a fun & crazy Iowa #Hawkeyes stat? Iowa has given up 10 points in the last 10 quarters.

That's another 90+ yard drive from Hank Brown. He & the Iowa #Hawkeyes might be the greatest offense ever when facing a long field.

Ohio State being out of the College Football Playoff on November 7 is one of the wilder outcomes of this college football season.

Is this an okay space to say I don't believe in the Texas Longhorns? They are just a few snaps from having 4 losses in the month of November. And being fully forgotten about. I'm not impressed by this team.

There's playing to win. There's playing not to lose. Then there's what UCLA is doing. And it's next level. This team is going out and taking it. What a fun team.
