Ohio State has murdered Michigan, Penn State is, appropriately, Running Up The Score against Sparty, and just for the hell of it, Syracuse just won at Notre Dame.
The game's up at the Dome, and so is HS. I may or may not be in, but I trust you all to behave during the game.
A win and we're in the Outback Bowl. A loss and TDG gets their own post on the top of BHGP. You realize the magnitude of this game.
GO HAWKS GO GREENE WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

MSU—-most overrated team in the top 25.
by Ed Podolak of Good Judgement on Nov 22, 2008 5:55 PM CST up reply actions
I think you're forgetting LSU
LSU doesn’t belong within shouting distance of the top 25. But MSU, yeah, we’ve been winning most of the year by taking advantage of other teams’ mistakes. Against OSU and PSU, who did not make mistakes, this didn’t really work. MSU has a top-15 record with top-35 talent.
Sometimes that's enough though
We shouldn’t have lost to you guys. But I have to give credit to MSU for winning in whatever way it took. It wasn’t always pretty, but at the end of the day, y’all have a very nice 9-3 season to look back on.
I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.

Even a win doesn't assure an Outback berth
Iowa would still need Oregon State to lose. If they win out, then they’ll go to the Rose Bowl, and probably bump Ohio State out of the BCS picture. In that case, I would assume OSU would go to the Citrus, MSU would get the Outback slot, and we’d get bumped down to the Alamo where we’ll get destroyed by Oklahoma State or one of the other ridiculous Big XII teams.
For a "packed house"
It doens’t appear very packed.

men’s cross county ranked #14; iowa not ranked

men’s basketball finished ahead of iowa last year
iowa doesn’t even have a men’s golf team
iowa men’s gymnastics finished dead last in the conference
gophers won the big ten in women’s soccer
men’s swimming finished 3rd in the big ten—iowa finished second to last
women’s swimming won the big ten last year, iowa in 9th place
women’s rowing: minnesota 4th, iowa 6th
volleyball: gophers 2nd in big ten and nationally ranked; iowa in 9th place
women’s track and field: big ten champs, iowa 5th place
men’s track and field: gophers fifth place finish; iowa 8th
So iowa fans may say who cares, right? Of course they would. Football is quite literally the only thing they have anything to boast about. Minnesota has one of the best athletic programs in the entire country.

We were becoming a joke because of the character issues and the like. Not to mention the team didn’t play with the level of heart that I have become used to seeing in the Hawks. That changed this year. This team played tough and, for the most part, smart all year
by shada's revenge on Nov 22, 2008 9:37 PM CST up reply actions
my reply was more to chitown, not to you - timing issue
but I understand your concerns. I didn’t put the blame so much on KF as others but that was me. “control” is a pretty loose term with a flat organization like a college football team. Anyway, I disliked the off field issues but was most concerned with what you brought up – the level of effort / heart on the field. Usually, if you see best efforts on the field, you see better performance off the field. There was a definite problem with heart and it seemed to be solved for this year’s team. Let’s see if it is good next year or not.
BTW, I’m not sure you can structurally create a program where a team’s heart and effort on the field is consistent year after year after year. It’s a team culture thing. All it takes is one or two bad apples to screw it all up.
Strangely
I have never really blamed the “character” issues on Ferentz. I know that’s probably wrong, but he’s kind of above scrutiny in my mind, which is unhealthy, I know.
That said, I realize he’s NOT above public/university scrutiny, and you’re right….I think this season has gone well enough to keep him more than safe.
But I’m no longer in IC, so I don’t really have a feel for the “pulse” of the university.

My opinion is these are adults, there isn’t much you can do once they are not at practice or in the classroom. It was just a bad run…also, Iowa City is rediculous with the alcohol arrests.

A qualified agreement
I’m not about to excuse the serious crimes that ocurred. But what gets lost in the “19 arrests since last April” is that the overwhelming majority of them weren’t arrests at all, but citations for alcohol related issues. This isn’t to be excused away, but it’s a far cry from some sort of Iowa football crime wave, it is simply college kids being college kids. I think the upside is that KF realized that he needed to crack down, hard, on the minor things to keep it from being an atmosphere of anything goes on the team. Kind of like the “broken windows” policing strategy, punishment is quick and severed (maybe bordering on the too harsh) for minor infractions to get the message through that this sort of behavior won’t be tolerated.
We’ve been far from angels this year, but, at the same time, it’s a far cry from what was happening a year ago. And credit should go where it’s due.

I think the best part is that almost top-to-bottom, the team itself realized they needed to right the ship and be better than their peers at a lot of teams simply because the attention was focused on them.

I think it is his quiet, laid back personallity that gives me the impression that he is either naive or doesn’t care about the things that were going on. Now I think he is a sharp guy that lets his players do his talking for him

Yes
And it’s a kind of damned-if-you-do, damned-if-you-don’t situation. Let’s be honest for a second, if Iowa had gone 10-2 last year, a lot of the criticism wouldn’t have been there. It’s sad but true, but if you have criminals and win, most will be forgiven. You can’t be running a prison disguised as a school football team and be mediocre.
I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.
That's funny
because my motto over the off-season before this season was, “If we have to be THUGU can we at least have the wins that are supposed to go with it?”

don't apologize
any Iowa fan with a conscience doesn’t like the off field stuff – it’s embarassing and it bugs us, even in good times.
I’m a KF apologist for sure but I’ve got to agree w/ SMA – KF cares about his program, the players, and the fans. The guy’s a class act since day one, winning or losing, and hasn’t changed. He doesn’t criticize players in the media and is a fine representative of the university.
Is he the charasmatic uber-leader? no. Is he ours? yep.
KF is who he is
He isn’t going to radically change to meet anyone’s expectations. He’s incredibly loyal to his players and his coaches, almost to a fault. But it’s also clear that he will take the fall for the failings of those beneath him. He’s never going to be Zook (or RichRod, or Brewster or even JoePa). But the one thing about KF is that you always know exactly where he stands and what you’ll get for him. He’ll jump on that grenade, maybe foolishly, but he’ll do it nonetheless.

College football is creepy in its underhandedness...the money is outrageous.
This guy is about as good as any team could hope for…he is first-class, throws no one under the bus, gets talent, wins ball games. Frankly, in today’s game, I don’t know how he does it. I love Iowa City and the university but I went there by accident from the East Coast. When I tell people about it they laugh. Believe me, he is doing a great job. I knew he would pull this season together. He was BIG enough to bail on JC early in the year. While that took longer to transition than it should of…I didn’t read too many posts asking for Stanzi before the first game. Ferentz knew better.

I just threw myself on a grenade
that had “KF” painted on it. In my living room.
My wife is pissed. We just remodeled the kitchen.
Funny story
I did the same thing at a bar last night, but my friend found it hilarious. Oh wait….

At the end of the day 8-4 feels better after looking 5-7 or 6-6 down. We just won 55-0, and beat PSU in a game that gave me a heart attack.
That being said, did they underachieve? It sure feels like it when you consider we lost to Pitt, MSU, ILL and NW. Yikes. I’m really only willing to concede to MSU and NW this year, and that still makes me throw up in my mouth a little.
I have no way of knowing, but it feels like KF has decided the knuckleheads aren’t worth it. Considering Iowa City, that’s ultimately a good thing. We need the King’s and Krouls’s to keep order. And there’s no Big XI coach I’d take over KF now, even with his maddening loyalty to KOK — as much as we bitch, and will continue to bitch about it.
Besides, it could always be worse
We could be Illinois. And no one wants that, do they?

I am so pissed
I was watching that game and though front-butt had it won. I wish I had seen the end. So awesome. And they were 20 pt faves… it’s one of the biggest upsets spread wise in ND history

Unless they keep their coach
Because he might be worse than Zook. Or even Weis. But the jury is still out

Oh wait... that adds to the hilarity
They have already fired him… They came from 2 tds down to beat ND in front of TD Jeebus with a lame duck coach

They suck...wait till the USC game...
it will make this Minnie game seem like a tight one.

Coach FUPA.
He’s not on the hot seat at ND. At all.
Right? Right?

Yes
But only because he couldn’t fit on the hot seat. The hot couch on the other hand….

And no for something completely different
Herbstreit and Musburger have completely checked out of the Tech-OU game.

65 points and Stoops still hasn't pulled his QB...what a fuckwad.
Hated him in college too…lived down the hall from him. Asshole then, asshole now. I hope they hurt the QB, then we’ll read what an idiot he was to leave him in.

OU needs to run up the score
if they want to jump Texas and Florida in the BCS.

I'll admit.
sometimes he’s a little penis. But shit, can you deny the talent he’s recruited? And that’s primarily poaching from the state of Texas. He may be a fuckwad, but his team is consistently a top 5 collection of studs.

Get some poon.
I recommend the Q bar and Deadwood for low-hanging fruit.

Primarily.
I often masturbated in full view of the other patrons.
Nonetheless, I dominated at both billiards AND scoring low-hanging fruit poon.

I'm terrified to post on this board anymore
But the guys that run this joint may be a little afraid (not literally, please refrain from tearing me a new asshole for even suggesting that) of how big this blog has become). A year ago, it was those three, plus only a handful of regulars, and now it’s those three plus dozens of regulars. It is quite impressive how Hawkeye Nation can come out, I know that for sure…and maybe, just maybe, this thing’s gotten too big, too quick. And then again, maybe not. We all know how smart I am. Fuck Minnesota, eh?
