OPEN THREAD, J Leman Edition

This is the best half of football we've played in a month and no one wants to talk about it? What's wrong with you people?

Credit to the offensive line. They've played well today which has helped the entire team, defense included. Those long drives may not have paid off with points but they've kept the D fresh and you can see the results.  

A few observations:

Pam Ward is in fine form, dangling participles and all.

DC is in the hizzy. Nice to see him back. We could use him.

They keep showing corn fields. Nice fresh angle there World Wide Leader. At least it birthed a Malachai reference.

Every time they show the Zooker I laugh out loud. You believe the stories now too, don't ya?

We need to punch the ball in the endzone.  I don't think Illinois' defense will be able to keep us out the rest of the game...this is the best the offense has looked all season long as far as I'm concerned.

If you'd told me the score would be 3-3 at half before the game with Iowa's offense moving the ball all over the field and looking like it can, you know, PLAY FOOTBALL, I'd have done a little Irish jig to go along with all the Tullamore Dew I drank last night.  

It seems KOK learned how to call a game since last week...or maybe Illinois' defense is just that bad.

How's that taste, Illini?

That's how you get in the end zone, Zookster.
Suck on that.

Farrah Fawcett called, she wants her hair back.

That is a very satisfying win. It was old school Iowa football. Moving the ball, playing D, and controlling field position.

I would rather not see our coach crying again though. It makes me uncomfortable that he's sobbing after beating Illinois and Ron Zook at home.

That's the spirit! We can't win the games we already lost, so let's move on to the ones we have left.

Juice was totally ineffective. That was it.
