Governors Jim and Kim have rooting interests in the Iowa-Nebraska game, and so does the brother of a quarterback named Chubba.

The total distance of Tory Taylor’s 274 punts for Iowa would take you above Mount Everest and to the deepest ocean floor.

Beat Illinois Saturday at Kinnick, and the Hawkeyes can start wearing and selling Big Ten West championship garb. There’s a meaningful trophy, too.

Hawkeyes, Jim Harbaugh, Jimbo Fisher, Paul Finebaum — this season seems a little far-fetched, does it not? These are my college football declarations of faith.

It’s a late one, so plan accordingly. The Iowa men’s basketball team plays No. 8 Creighton in Omaha, and you can finally see the Hawkeyes on real television.
