Around SBN: Jeremy Lin Continues Rampage, New York Wins On Road

LET'S HEAR IT: PREDICTION THREAD

Wienertown_medium This guy knows how to make a place blow.

Simple and straightforward, folks. Let's hear the score and any other predictions for the game. Best post wins something.

OH, actually, let's add a poll about tomorrow's coverage. We can do the regular LIVETHREADGAMEPOSTWHEEEBANG, or we can host a simple little chat thing that everybody (Gazette, HawkMania, EDSBS, FanHouse, Jon Miller, etc) has been doing recently. Pros of the usual OpenGameThreadZapWham is that there's no moderation required on our end; anyone with a login (free, easy, no spam whatsoever) can do it. The chat is much more interactive and login-free, but if I'm not around, outside messages don't get in. Still, everyone's doing it.

YOU MAKE THE CALL!

24-10 Hawks

As for the poll I pick option 3.

Screw you guys and your internets – I’ll be at the game.

94-1 Hawks

Oh, and that guy will get drunkenly assfucked by his frat brothers

37-14 Hawkeyes

I think this is the year that Ferentz goes absolute apeshit crazy on Cizik and Iowa State. This also throws Iowa right into the mix as B10 favorites.

Please Dear God

Let this game not be close. Just for once, please. Besides I will be hosting F.A.S.C.I.S.M. 2008 and don’t need distractions from the game that cause me to slip into a drunken rage.

The Winner will be whoever has the bigger motor

By that I mean, the bigger Johnson outboard because Kinnick Stadium is going to be sopping wet.

IOWA WINS: 5 AT 44 OFF

I'm hoping it's over early...

my daughter’s getting married tomorrow at 2pm. (Yes, when I was told the date of the wedding, she was immediately taken out of the will) What a waste of a good football Saturday. Please, Hawkeyes, take my frustrations out on those asswipes. Goddamnit.
42-0

I'm hoping it lasts all day..

Because I want those ISU bastards to suffer longer…

45 – 9

Hawks....yup, I like 'em

Iowa 43-3 because...

Swingin Dick Stanzi is the second coming of Jake Christensen! Whatever that means.

Iowa State fans eat small, warm pieces of shit.

31-9 and that’s only because my shitty keyboard doesn’t have an inifinity key to replace where I wrote ‘31.’

Here’s to slowly dipping our balls in the collective mouth of the Cyclones……

Iowa, 77-0

Because I hope that if I predict a lopsided score like everyone else, people will like me.

Iowa 27 ISU 14

bank it. The oddsmakers here in vegas had the line at 13.5 this morning. Those fuckers always know something.

by iowagnome on Sep 12, 2008 6:58 PM CDT reply actions  

Not when ISU has a 8-2 record against the spread in the last 10 games. I’m not saying it’s guaranteed, but a 13 point spread is a dangerous spread to bet on in a game like this.

by Cycloned on Sep 12, 2008 8:22 PM CDT up reply actions  

I don't care if the spred is mayonaise...

…we’re going to put a freak on the Clones. Oh, and if we don’t look for Kirk to do a Vince Young.

Da Hawkeyes

Bill Swerski: Okay, gentlemen, another scenario: Da Bears, they don’t make it, the plane is delayed.. and the only one who shows up is Ditka. Ditka vs. Da Giants. Okay, score, gentlemen.

Pat Arnold: Alright, after da heart attack, I gotta say Ditka 17, Giants 14. He just barely gets by.

Bill Swerski: Alright, that sounds exciting. Perhaps, you know, a late Ditka field goal.

Wait….what were we talking about again?

Iowa is favored by 13.5.

Iowa State has covered the spread by about 17 ppg over the last four years. If history’s any indication, ISU should be favored by a field goal.

Therefore, I’m calling this one 36-17 Iowa. Vegas doesn’t exist in a vacuum, folks. If Iowa-ISU was played straight up over the last four years, Iowa would be 4-0, and the line would be somewhere around 28. ISU sucks.

Also, I predict DJK does something that nobody else on either team can do. Thvat guy turns the mundane into the incredible on a weekly basis. He is truly the BHGP of college football.

Hmmm....

31-14 Hawks, BOOK IT!

You know, The Nihilist participated in BOOK IT when he was in grade school. Something about free personal pan pizzas that made me want to read. What’s that? There’s a football game today? Who are we playing? Iowa Statzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz………………..

Oh! Sorry, dozed off there, GO HAWKS!

by The Nihilist on Sep 13, 2008 9:54 AM CDT reply actions  

What I meant was......

Clearly when I predicted Iowa would score 31, I was thinking that the long swinging dick of Stanzitown would have exchanged those two INT’s for TD’s. Therefore my prediction would have been much closer. As for the 9 I said the Cyclones would get, I was assuming that when the score became 25-3, Ferentz was going to put in Hampton, who momentarily got confused as to which way the offense was pointing and galloped to an accidental 50 yard touchdown in the wrong direction for ISU, who would have been so busy excitedly rubbing themselves on the outside of their pants that they would have missed the extra point. Game. 31-9. Just like I said.

I gotta weird feeling...

17-5 … but we’ll see how it plays out.
