I work in sports | Hawkeyes, Cubs, Capitals | Opinions are my own, but that's probably why you're here anyway.

Good evening and welcome to this week’s impromptu #IowaSim22, presented by a bunch of generous Hawkeye fans.
Because of more than $600 raised today for UI Children’s Hospital and Hurricane Ian relief in Florida, we’ve got Iowa (Petras) vs. Iowa (Padilla) coming up shortly.
Team Padilla will be in white, while Team Petras will be in black.
Same exact rosters for both teams otherwise.
Who do you got? Prediction time. Let’s hear it. #IowaSim22

(THREAD, I'M SORRY)
As I sat inside Lucas Oil Stadium, I started to feel that I noticed a trend in Iowa's offensive playcalling tendencies. Decided today to take some time to research ... and folks, did I stumble across something.
Come along for the ride. #Hawkeyes
We all want variety in playcalling. I think that's a shared desire among every fan of every team. Iowa tries to vary itself. It tries to break a "they want to establish the run on first down" tendency that's stuck through Ferentz's tenure - and it's worked a ton - but they try.

(THREAD) Good evening and welcome to this week’s #IowaSim21, the (unofficially) official weekly Iowa football simulation, as we get set for the virtual Big Ten Championship.
We’re about 45 minutes from kickoff.
Hope you enjoy. #Hawkeyes
The simulation has correctly predicted the winner in 9 of 11 Iowa games this season, absent for Purdue week, while it has correctly picked the winner in 84 of 103 games since starting in 2013. #IowaSim21

Here come the guys in maize and blue.
