About Last Week I am in a quandary. A quarry quandary, if you will. Every year since at least 2015, we have designated a team as The Rock following the games of Week 1. The one year we failed to do so was 2020. And we saw how that went. This is serious business. The Rock has never had a formal definition or set of criteria. It’s a vibes thing. It is not given to worst team. It is given to the most Rock team. In a football sense, it’s typically been a team that plays decent defense and minimal offense.

It’s some bizarre combination of the Saw franchise-style torture porn, distilled Stockholm Syndrome, and whatever metal the One Ring from the Lord of the Rings was made from. One cannot look away, even though one knows this isn’t healthy. But despite its general stupidity and failure to meet even the basic standards of objectively mediocre football, Iowa will, several times per game, do something that will make you sit up and clap like a sea lion offered a mackerel. This game was no different; they score two defensive touchdowns on Rutg ....
