Maine Black Bears at Iowa Hawkeyes, Aug 30, 2008 11:05 AM CDT
You see a Maine Streeter getting rocked to hell in a 38-0 loss. I see someone trying to plant a size 13 right in the UConn guy's baby bank. They're DIRTY CHEATERS.
Iowa and the Maine Streets. A cataclysmic battle of two superpowers with one goal in mind: MURDER.
This is the Open Thread, so (almost) anything goes. Predictions? Other than pain? Mine's 37-6, Iowa. Oh, and...
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So far
The line looks disappointing. It could be a long season.
I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.

Interception Iowa!
Thank god.

Question
I missed the first drive while I was looking for the channel (FYI, in Des Moines on Mediacom, it’s on Channel 22).
Who started on the offensive line?

In no particular order
Bulaga, Eubanks, Bruggeman, Olson, Calloway

Oh dear.
Christensen’s last two passes have been AWFUL. First he misses DJK on a crossing route, then he wildly underthrows Brodell on a post into double coverage. The pass interference call was a gift.
Of course, then he rolls out and throws a strike to DJK on the run.

Nice job finding that hole for a touchdown.
If JC isn’t hurried, he’s good. That throw was perfect. If he senses pressure, he’s a wreck. It’s a necessary after-effect of the horror of 2007.

We're leading Maine by a wider margin
than aOSU is over Youngstown State.
Therefore, logic dictates that we are better than aOSU.

Farkes runs right at Adrian Clayborn
Not to be recommended, as Clayborn devours him whole.

Pass Interferance!!

I don't think this announcer
understands that pass interference is a 15 yard penalty, and not the spot of the foul.

We’ve secretly replaced Maine’s 1st and 10 with a 1st and 34. Let’s see if they notice.

QB draw on 3rd and 33
It’s like kneeling on the ball, except your quarterback gets hit by half of the defense! Excellent call Maine!

Answer: the 3.
He fell into the end zone, but not voluntarily. 97 yards for Maine to go.
Get ready for Stanzi.

Nice scramble for a first down by Stanzi
And while it’s easy to say Jake would have thrown that away or to Maine, that type of scramble was his jam last season. Either way, first down in field goal range.

Mossbruckheimer is blowing up!
19-0 Iowa. Not the most confidence-inspiring kick, though.

Stanzi with the worst decision of the game so far
And naturally it’s a first down for Iowa.

Paul Burmeister and Chuck Hartlieb. When a man was a man, and a completed pass to a wide receiver wasn’t cause to stop the game for photographs and speeches.

Pitt just sanked a field goal
with 4-something to play, still down 10. At home. Against Bowling Green.
Anyone else feel a little better about the Hawks playing at Pitt?
