Around SBN: Steve McNair Found Shot to Death


In Case You Missed It, jNU Beat Iowa in a Bowl

"The Iowa-Northwestern Outback Bowl vs the Alamo Bowl controversey continues on the boards. Iowa fans are raving about their big win down in the Outback - that's fine. But NU Fan Chuck Herron points out that it was too bad for both bowls bottom line that Iowa didn't get a shot to show what they could do against the much better Missouri Tigers, sending the Wildcats to Florida last week."

How would that have been better for the Outback Bowl's bottom line?

We know that Gamecock fans didn’t exactly show up en masse for this one and history suggests that jNWU wouldn’t have shown up in bigger numbers than Hawkeye fans did for the Outback Bowl… so they wouldn’t have come out ahead.

I’m sure the Alamo would have been happy to have the Hawks — they wouldn’t have had to deal with so many empty purple seats if that had been the case. And why doesn’t that retard’s analysis take into account that there were a lot more fucking Mizzou fans at the Alamo Bowl than there were South Carolina fans at the Outback Bowl? Oh right, because that wouldn’t fit his stupid point.

Oh, and I love this one: "Though I don’t think the data exists, it would be interesting to compare the disposable incomes of the two fan bases, and to compare the average amount spent?by the Iowa and NU fans in the two host cities. " Yeah, because us poor dumb pigfarmers don’t have any money to spend like those Armani-wearing assholes…

Forget fans

I did find myself wondering how we would have done if we played Missouri. I mean, how would they match up against an actual defense? Even though I was more than happy with beating USC, I think us beating Missouri might have been more interesting and more satisfying. Anytime Big X > Big XII, I’m happy. But hey, beating a (weak) SEC team feels good too.

And when the machine breaks down, we break down.
