HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA jNU, you suck!

Oh. Right. 75 words. Hmmmm. I have a court hearing in 15 minutes. I should probably head on over to the Courthouse. Now. Stat. Going. Running. Quickly. Poop. Still need 47 words. Hard to get there on time when you're busy rambling about nothing. One would ask why I don't finish later. Good question. I'll work on that.

But, but .....

jNU beat Iowa! On Iowa’s homecoming! And turnovers didn’t play a factor in that game! And jNU finished ahead of Iowa in the Big Televen! And deserved the new year’s day bowl! And more jNU fans didn’t go to San Antonio because it’s really hard to get there! And bowls need to market Pat Fitzgerald’s story because he turned down ND to come to jNU! And the sun might shine in San Antonio in Dec and sun is hard on armani suits! And who has statistics on a comparison of disposable income between Iowa and jNU fans? Because even though jNU is in a metropolitan area of 8+ million it’s impressive that the football team draws 30,000!

Yep

The conference schedule changes every 2 years. In those 2 seasons, Iowa plays at home and away once against each of the 8 opponents. When it switches, everything resets, including H/A status. So yes, while we get jNW at home twice in a row, it’s bracketed by road games in 2007 and 2010, leaving the series back at half and half.

TMYK!

No shit dude

I would LOVE to play Mizzou. That would be a better match-up for us than SC was! Plus. I’m still pissed at them for pulling out of our series a few years back. That tells you all you need to know about them.

The midget

Chase Daniels has burned all eligibility and Jeremy Maclin has declared: ergo, Gary Pinkel will be fired in 2 years after going 5-7, then 3-9. The Mizzou show has closed.

All I know is this.

If we go 1 and goddamn 11 next year, and the “1” is a win over jNU, the season will not be a total failure.

We have got to beat those guys. Two straight inexplicable home losses to them is bad enough. Three would be unthinkable.

Ahem, sir

If Iowa beats jNW and loses to everyone else, I would call that a total failure.

It's safe to say that was a bit tongue-in-cheek Gentlemen.

But it’s true that I really, really, really want Iowa to win that game. Just think how bad some of our jNU friends would be if they came into Kinnick and won AGAIN. I want Iowa to win that game by 4 TD’s and wipe that smug grin off Fitz’s face.

That was a very Clone-like point of view.

Yeah, I went there.

Are you fucking joking

LTPs is reporting that they destroyed us in viewership for the bowl games. Nevermind that they were on primetime, not buttfuck early after one of the heaviest drinking games of the year. Or that it was an admittedly better game matchup. Oh..or that they massively trailed the 2006 game between us and Texas. But they beat us this year.
I’ve been looking for historical comparisons for the 2 bowls, but have drawn a blank so far. Anybody know if there’s a place to find them?

Honestly, who cares..

Iowa destroyed their opponent, while the plucky ’Cats were able to take Mizzou to OT. Iowa finished ranked, while jNU did not. Until they come to Kinnick, they have bragging rights.
