PrintMaine 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?
"This cream cheese story is good .But we can add some other story about the cream cheese." - Dr. Retarded
In no particular order
Bulaga, Eubanks, Bruggeman, Olson, Calloway
I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.
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.

You mean
That there were 4 D linemen in the backfield while OSU’s line stood blocking absolutely no one?
I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.
Farkes runs right at Adrian Clayborn
Not to be recommended, as Clayborn devours him whole.

Pass Interferance!!
NOT on us?!! Whawhawhaaaaat?
by Bucketochicken on Aug 30, 2008 11:39 AM CDT reply actions
I don't think this announcer
understands that pass interference is a 15 yard penalty, and not the spot of the foul.
"This cream cheese story is good .But we can add some other story about the cream cheese." - Dr. Retarded
Damn....
must have lost my BXI alternates when I changed my channel lineup. Guess its Arsenal and Newcastle for me.
I would be in favor of a defensive TD here

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

The guy in the #5 jersey in the stands
was probably actually Drew Tate.

Is he screaming at the fan next to him?

Haha! A "Drew Tate Has A Temper" joke!

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!

That “Come to PENN STATE” growl is fucking hilarious.

Here we go.
Picked by Maine inside the 5. Where do they spot this?
"This cream cheese story is good .But we can add some other story about the cream cheese." - Dr. Retarded
Answer: the 3.
He fell into the end zone, but not voluntarily. 97 yards for Maine to go.
Get ready for Stanzi.

SAFETY!
AJ Edds forces an intentional grounding in the end zone. 16-0 Iowa.
"This cream cheese story is good .But we can add some other story about the cream cheese." - Dr. Retarded
Hate to say I'm brilliant, but
Stanzi in the game.

Syracuse @ Northwestern
The score?
3-2, ’Cuse.

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.
"This cream cheese story is good .But we can add some other story about the cream cheese." - Dr. Retarded
ITS GOOD!!
Was I the only one holding my breath during the FG attempt?
I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.
What is "no," Alex?

Dear Perverted BTN Cameramen
More shots of Iowa girls in the crowd. Thanks.

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

In fact, I'll say this
That lazy out pattern gets picked and taken the other way for 6 in the BXI.

Cue the circus music, just in case
Iowa about to attempt a 44-yarder after icing their own kicker.

of course
he absolutely drills it. 22-0 Iowa.

I miss the good old days of...
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.
Iowa's rolling now
Just keep giving it to Greene. He’s a beast.

Jewel tastes like shining

Dude.
Jewel Hampton can scoot.

Stanzi with another unconscionably dangerous throw
Float a throw to a walkon TE in double coverage? Sure!

Then the pissed-off T.O.
He’s the second coming of Drew Tate!
I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.
Jewel Heist
GREAT addition to the Iowa nickname all-stars

Just stole another one.
Great nickname, btw.

Yeah, but it's our own brand,
so it’s not quite so bad, you know?

Personally
I’m just happy that we haven’t missed a kick today.
I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.
Isn't "Irish Spring"
Paki’s nickname? No? It is now.

Around the nation
ECU about to finish off #17 VT, and Pitt struggling badly with BGSU in the 4th.
"This cream cheese story is good .But we can add some other story about the cream cheese." - Dr. Retarded
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?

Highlight of my trip to the game
After another Jake Christensen miss
“YOU HAVEN’T HIT A WR ALL DAY ASSFACE” -very drunk guy 5 seats over
