Murphy's Law
I have always been a fan of WHO TV-13 sports reporter Keith Murphy. He is a smart guy who usually has interesting things to say about the Iowa sports scene. If I read a blog more than a couple times, it is time to add it to the links. Murphy's Law is a shotgun, stream-of-consciousness read, but he has good things to say. Today he had a couple quick bits on Dan McCarney and Greg McDermott:

Athlon Sports names Dan McCarney one of the five most UNDERrated college football coaches. Something for Mac's critics to think about. Remember, before McCarney, no bowl games in memory and no wins over Iowa. Since McCarney, five bowls in six years, 6 wins over Iowa in 8 years. ISU needs to finish games, and not get so conservative, but Mac's in no danger. Shouldn't be either.

If you're a Cyclone fan concerned about Greg McDermott's ability to pull big recruits, worry about something else. Craig Brackins is just the beginning. McDermott will succeed at ISU.

I guess I agree on both counts, but Mac has got to start winning close games. It absolutely KILLS me to remember last year, when we lost 3 OVERTIME games and another close one to Baylor.

In addition to the article I'm currently posting on (Christ Centered Preaching), there are lots of interesting topics at this site. Interesting, thought-provoking articles are always appreciated, so I will have to spend more time there looking around.
