Iowa at Michigan State OPEN THREAD: Please Don't Kill Us

It's time for VENGEANCE. No, not you assclowns. Go away.
Iowa visits East Lansing today, a place where the Hawkeyes haven't won since 1993. Fa real. The Spartans have all sorts of reasons why they should win, namely:
- They're far better than Iowa at basketball;
- Izzo stands to win his 300th game today;
- cold, brutal revenge.
This won't be close, and we're perfectly aware of that, thank you. We just hope Iowa can keep the deficit to double digits. Be sure to keep your browsers pointed right hyeah as we suffer in the best way possible: together.

Nice tackle, dickwad.
Raymar Morgan divebombs old dude's knees, and the crowd starts booing because a foul was called? That shit's illegal in fucking football.

17:20 remains in the first half
Lick already had to use a TO.
Izzo is already screaming at the officials.
Neitzel is already a prick.
Oh, and it's 8-1, MSU.

We have the softest front line in college basketball history.

Looks like he's about to put the team in a bus, then push it into the ocean. Good heavens.
14-1.

Put your bets in now
When will Iowa hit their first field goal? I'm guessing with 9 minutes left in the first half... on Wednesday.
This is agonizing to watch.

Masochism
A very disturbed part of me kinda' hopes Sparty holds Iowa under 10 first half points, just for you know, novelty's sake.

Why do you
want to see Lickliter beat Freeman's face in at midcourt? Where's the sport in that? It'd just be like Jared Leto getting erased in Fight Club.

I know what it's like
I get carsick in the passenger seat on occasion. I used to have an Isuzu Trooper and when I'd get really drunk (couple times a week), I'd let my girlfriend drive home. Well, the passenger seat made me sick, and I was already drunk, so I'd sit in the back seat. Then I'd shout stuff at her from Driving Miss Daisy, but she wouldn't play along, so I'd play both roles.
Daisy: What are you doing?
Hoke: I'm tryin' to drive you to the store!
or
Miss Daisy: Hoke?
Hoke: Yes'm.
Daisy: You're my best friend.
Hoke: No, go on Miss Daisy.
Daisy: No, really, you are...
Hoke: Yes'm.
She loved it!
(not really)

oh, I forgot
This was my favorite bit:
Daisy: You know your letters don't you?
Hoke: Oh yeahs, yeah I knows mah ABC's pretty good, jus' can't read.
Daisy: Stop saying that you're making me mad! If you know your letters you can read. You just don't know you can read.
Hoke: Ma'am?
Daisy: I taught some of the stupidest children God ever put on the face of this earth and all of them could read well enough to find a name on a tombstone.

Honestly
I'm just glad they picked the right ball; it was embarrassing when they spent the first seven minutes of the ULM game trying to dribble a fucking baseball.

I don't know why
the stat people ever make a big deal about Iowa's bench points. Iowa's backups are Kurt Looby, a 9-year-old, a folding chair, a jar of cashews, and David Palmer.

The score is 44-28, 11 1/2 minutes to go
if Michigan State merely dropkicks the ball on every possession, will Iowa get back within 10 points before the final horn?
