Sorry I haven't done one these in a few days. I've been sick with a fever and sore throat and so I haven't been online as much. Anyway, I'll try to get you all caught up today. There have been a few good articles on individual players in the last couple of days.

ESPN - Consistency the next step for Stanzi
This is a nice little article about Stanzi. I think we all already knew that consistency from Stanzi is the key to Iowa's success this year.
Big Future for Bulaga
Did you know Bryan Bulaga's favorite ice cream is mint chocolate chip? Mine is moose tracks with those little peanut butter cups. Anyway, there are more interesting facts about Bulaga and some talk about him turning pro after this year. Shonn Greene thinks it's a good idea and that Bulaga would do great in the NFL. I'm still hoping he sticks around as the offensive line is already losing enough after this season.
Getz finds a familiar college roomie
Incoming freshman Dakota Getz is currently living with John Wienke. The two know each other from high school, playing in the same conference in Illinois. (Side note: check out the helmets for Getz's high school…look familiar?)
At least it's college football related
Stewart Mandel > COLLEGE FOOTBALL MAILBAG
Mandel talks a little about how defensive are adapting to be smaller and quicker to defend the spread. In doing so, they are becoming more susceptible to the power-run, pro-style offenses. That's exactly what I like to hear. In the Big Ten, as more teams move to the spread, and more defenses try to defend it, it gives me hope that Iowa can come in and just plow over them with a power running attack.

Mabinogi Wiki
Mabinogi is some crazy massive multiplayer online role-playing game like World of Warcraft, or all those other nerdy games. It looks like it's got a kind of anime spin on the whole thing. So I guess it is picking up in popularity. It's probably better than that Evony game that I constantly see ads for on this blog.
