Iowa is an ideal team to play to get Nico his trial run for next year IMO.

They are a very impressive #4 in yards/game, but only have a sack percentage of 5.4%, ranking 91st.

They have a very veteran back end that will do a lot to fool him, but it is unlikely they are in the back field punishing him with hits. I'd love for him to light them up, but I think it will give him a lot to build on in the off-season regardless.

I don’t really like theme parks. Had an awful experience my senior year of high school when we had a school trip to Six Flags. It rained. We stood in the rain for an hour waiting on some band I didn’t really like. They came out and played one song we had never heard then had to call it off because of lightning. They closed most of the rides because of it also. Then one girl followed us around ready to fight because her sister’s boyfriend happened to be with the group of us. Horrible disappointment! Lake Winnie is the hottest place on earth especially when the kids are wanting to do different things. Dollywood is fun though.

Lake Winnie? That Cannonball Rollercoster is scary..the whole wooden sructure moves and when you return you think your head is gonna get lopped off by the roof. Not to mention snakes in the log ride, and carp the size of whales…lol

If I did not love the Tennessee Volunteers so much simply because I am a Tennessean...I would already be out on sports....I already don't watch Pro sports much anymore, and I am about a inch from not giving a 💩 about College sports.

I really do wonder when it will be over for me....money f'n ruins everything.

It's funny that you mentioned you don't watch pro sports anymore because I'm in the same boat. I quit watching pro sports when some of the players started kneeling for the National Anthem.
Since my remote has a button for changing channels, I used it extensively. Before I knew it, I didn't miss watching pro sports, so I just never went back. I'm just into the college game now and that's mainly Tennessee sports when they're on TV.

Yes! 😆 Had to hold my kids in the seat to keep their head attached! Know more than one that experienced the snakes.

I used to watch the NBA and NFL. Loved it. Not as much as TN, but… Then the NBA started getting boring. The toughness and pride was gone. So I gradually quit. Then the same trend with the NFL. All I watch now is highlights of VFLs.

According to a 2016 inspection, one of the park's most popular rides, The Cannon Ball Coaster, noted several violations. That ride was built in 1966.


The ride had missing nails from the roller coaster track, loose tracks and rotting wooden boards. Repairs on the ride were made that very same day.

The majority of the rides at Lake Winnie were built in the 70's. The oldest ride at the park is the Carousel, built in 1916.

😂 Kids love the Winnie though.

A little bit of harsh “Negavol” coming from me:
This team had the identity of their leader. And it’s why they didn’t win any big games.
The “leader” was too accessible and too much of a cool guy. Likable doesn’t equate to being a good leader. Joe’s a very likeable guy but not the vociferous, win at all cost alpha that this team needed.

I think that is wholly accurate. It doesn't make him a bad guy. But, as you said, it does mean he is not in a good spot to be a leader on a sports team. I think deep down he is just not an uber-competitive person.
