It was going to change the game one way or another. Usually it whips around the stadium out in the middle of the flood plain, or blows straight in from right field, but tonight it was absolutely howling out to left field, something I hadn’t seen in both direction and intensity since Michigan was in...

Iowa will not win a national title. — Corn Nation (@CornNation)...
