Pete"s BLOG-Day 26,214. Hawkeye Football.

Today is Sunday, August 26, 2012. Hey, we've had rain since 3 AM and, at noon, it's still raining. HURRAH. No stats today. My weight was 162.8 pounds.
Every year at the end of August I get excited about how the Hawkeyes are going to do in football this year. So far, they are undefeated - they play their first game against Northern Illinois next Saturday in Chicago. The Cedar Rapids Gazette has been running a week long series of articles examining every position on the Hawkeye team. Of course, it looks like we have wonderful players at every position but the problem is that every other school feels the same way. So here are Pete's predictions for 2012.
We're going to start out with a 3-1 record. We'll lose to either Northern Illinois or Iowa State and we'll beat Northern Iowa and Central Michigan.
Then the BIG Ten starts on September 29.
Sept. 29. We'll beat Minnesota at home.         October 13. We'll lose to Michigan State there.
Oct. 20.  We'll beat Penn State at home.         October 27. We'll beat Northwestern there.
Nov. 3.   We'll beat Indiana there.                   Nov. 10. We'll beat Purdue at home.
Nov. 17. We'll lose to Michigan there.            Nov. 23. We'll lose to Nebraska at home.
The good news is we don't have to play Wisconsin or Ohio State.

HUMOR for today:  My prediction is  8-4 for the Hawks. (please don't rub it in if I'm way to optimistic)
