Agreed that this team/staff seems to be able to better manage adversity and hopefully not let things compound WHEN they misstep. Those earlier teams couldn’t do it… hell, Bears are a good example. One Hail Mary, a tough schedule, and no mental fortitude took them from 4-2 to 4-12 last year.

Thanks for the info - blast from the past and the cord girl is "technology" lost to the ages.

speaking of that technology...two of my favorite cord/headset stories....Zooker insisting Iowa staff had 'bugged' their coaches box/his headsets 2007 game in Iowa City....Hawkeyes didn't mow/wet down the grass before that one for sure....Beckman wanting to record gameday interaction/comments and going back to listen to them to see which coaches were making good calls...which were not....someone told him 'yeah we can do that but you run the risk of that recording ending up on the internet...do you want that to happen?' Beckman, 'oh no let's not do that'😂
