It's here! After roughly 5 months of blogging without any real news (I'm not sure why I decided to start a football blog in the middle of April), it's finally game week, and there will finally be something to actually write about. I've been researching up on UNI and I'll have more analysis on the match up later in the week. For now, just a couple of quick items.

Game Day:
  • Opponent - The University of Northern Iowa
  • Time - Saturday, September 5 at 11:01 AM
  • Place - Kinnick Stadium, Iowa City, IA
  • TV - Big Ten Network HD (on main feed in Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota...see coverage map for more info)
Quick Notes:
  • It's the Gold Bowl...so if you're headed to Kinnick remember to "Be bold, wear gold"
  • FryFest is the night before, which sounds like a lot of fun
  • Both teams will be very inexperienced and thin at running back. Iowa will be missing Jewel Hampton with his right knee injury, and UNI will be without Derrick Law and Taylor Brookins due to suspension
  • In case you missed it, here's the depth chart for week 1
