A montage....would encapsulate the season perfectly:
“The hours approaching, just give it your best
You’ve got to reach your prime.
That’s when you need to put yourself to the test,
And show us a passage of time,
We’re gonna need a montage (montage)
Oh it takes a montage (montage)
Show a lot of things happening at once,
Remind everyone of what’s going on (what’s going on?)
And with every shot you show a little improvement
To show it all would take too long
That’s called a montage (montage)
Oh we want montage (montage)"
Or, instead of a montage, we could do what one wag suggested and make a “Girls of Disbelief” Calendar. Give the proceeds to charity—and EVERYBODY wins!
Except for PSU, Wisky, Michigan, and so on. They stole Fizzy-lifting Drinks, so they LOSE.
If it's not too much trouble, search your soul--and then ask yourself if maybe I might have a point.
GOOD DAY TO YOU, SIR!
I do what I can.

There was a Wisconsin girl
A striped mustilid cap
Stretched o’er Madison coed head
Framing pasty face downcast
Yarn ears listening towards muddied ground
Earth torn by Hawkeye cleats
She did not cry
But yearned to
Anyone else see the stunned chick wearing the badger hat in the 4th quarter? Flashbacks to sausage-fingers @ Penn State
Brunettes not fighter jets
She looks like a carrot

Iowa 7th in the AP poll
1. Bama
2. Florida
3. Texas
4. USC
5. Cincy
6. Boise
7. Iowa
Luck is probability taken personally, clutch is probability attributed to individuals.
Finally ahead of LSU
That was so stupid.

Harris poll sucks ass!
5-2 Virginia Tech is 4th and went up from 6th after their loss to Georgia Tech! That is beyond retarded, its criminal.
I think the Harris Poll comes out on Monday.
Hence why OSU is still at #7.
I got more rhymes than Wade Lookingbill's got dunks
I was looking at last week's results...
but they had this week’s records next to them which led to confusion and a bit of dementia.

Harris Poll.
I don’t always agree with Mack Brown, but when I do, it is about the Harris Poll.
Stay skeptical, my friends.

I saw the Wisconsin girl on the tv
and thought – there she is. The face of the Wisconsin loss.

My wife and I were in a bar in Chicago, and she exclaimed "Sad Wisconsin Fan!"
To which some Wisconsin fans in the bar grumbled, put their heads down, and ate their lunch.

BCS WEEK 1
1. Florida
2. Alabama
3. Texas
4. Boise
5. Cincy
6. IOWA IOWA IOWA NO I AM NOT SHITTING YOU.
Computers love Iowa

- team according to the robots. Colley Matrix poll has the #1. PSU, Wisconsin, Arizona are all in the BCS Top 25 too.
Florida? Apparently no one with a vote watched them, at home, with the most homerific refs of the year, get lucky to beat a now 3-3 Arkansas.
No Kidding
The refs completely handed Florida that win. Those last two penalties were mind boggling to me, and complete bullshit.
They took the bar, the whole fucking bar!

BCS
Let’s say all those teams stay undefeated going into the SEC championship game. Iowa will be #4 by virtue of schedule strength and our bowl fan support. Florida or Alabama is guaranteed a loss.
That Ohio State game gets bigger every week. I’m glad it’s not this Saturday.

It really would have helped if Ohio St hadn't lost to Purdue...
IF we are talking about the BCS championship game. It did help our chances of going to the Rose Bowl.

I'm afraid we are
a long shot for NC game. Figuring wither Florida or labama stay undefeated, then we need Texas or Cincy to lose. We will overcome Boise due to computer and probably even human voting. But, Texas and Cincy have very doable schedules with enough toughness to not lose ground to us. Cincy is the more vulnerable team because their QB may be out rest of season or for awhile. Texas though has a very manageable schedule until the Big 12 Champ Game. they will probably play Nebraska or Kansas, so there you are…Texas v. Florida/Alabama. IF we find some way to go undefeated then we play in Rose Bowl against a possible #4 USC team (BCS). If we beat them, then another year of BCS questioning.
Boy, that was so easy to write up….if only it were that easy on the field of play.

Cincy will drop one, or eventually SOS will drop them behind us in the polls.
Or we will drop one. I simply cannot see Cincy staying ahead of us if we run the table.
If it's not too much trouble, search your soul--and then ask yourself if maybe I might have a point.

I agree
And out of Alabama, Texas, and Florida, I just can’t see two of those three going undefeated. Florida because karma should bite them for that glorious display of officiating yesterday, and Texas because, well, they just don’t look that good to me.
Or maybe I’m just betting with my heart.

You know
if every team but Boise and TCU lose one….that will be one hell of a situation. And it is totally possible. I would think that one of those two non BCS teams would then be in the NC game. If they got spanked by (say) USC, then maybe, just maybe, a playoff would be seriously discussed.
"I think it's safe to say our concerns are many." -- Kirk Ferentz
My dream
Either Boise or Iowa goes undefeated. Then one of those two play a one-loss Bama for the title. Iowa or Boise “pulls a Utah” and spanks Bama as Saban growls and scowls on the sideline while the camera pans to depressed Bama fans who are no longer chanting “S! E! C! S! E! C!”

Look, I’m paranoid enough without this stuff. How’s about we talk about the Top 10 Reasons why we’ll lose to MSU? I’m having fun with this team, but this talk is scaring me shitless for karmas sake.
I said Boise or Iowa
There was no jinx there.

I know, not you Rambler. I’m just so stinking nervous about this team I’m more comfortable with the “Iowa, woe, don’t look at me” attitude. Pundits mocking us is better.
Pundits mocking Big Ten teams is always a good thing

I’d make a fuss about an undefeated BCS conference team with two wins over the top 25 ranking and two over other vote getters in the AP and USA today polls being ranked behind a team with no wins over the top 25 (3 other vote getters), and a team with one win over a top 25 team (and no other vote getters),
but I’m just concerned about Iowa getting a Big Ten title right now.
Luck is probability taken personally, clutch is probability attributed to individuals.
By the way, where is sad Arizona fan?
The team is 4-2 and in the BCS standings. They should have a SadCat.
I think
We need to worry about Iowa going undefeated before we worry about other teams dropping one.
Hawks still have a lot of football to play, and I’m not holding my breath on winning out. Not saying it can’t or won’t be done, just… I dunno. Perhaps the 6-0 start in ‘06 has me wary. I could see us losing our remaining two road games and dropping one we shouldn’t (like vs. jNW or the Hosiers) as easily as I could see us running the table.
Brunettes not fighter jets
We hadn't been 6-0 since 1985.
And I would say there are considerable differences between this team and the 2006 outfit anyway.
I think the point holds anyway.
Ferentz said that it’s at least as difficult to coach a team dealing with success than it is a team dealing with adversity. Additionally, Iowa isn’t the only team playing its best ball of the season.
It seems like Sparty is just the other side of the Iowa coin this season. Where we’ve been winning close games by executing when we absolutely, positively need to execute Sparty has missed wide open receivers in the end zone and been offsides on missed game winning field goals. And it isn’t like it’s the first time top 10 Iowa teams have gotten surprised in East Lansing. It seems like this team is well-disciplined and less likely to let the positive attention get to their heads (to the degree that it’s been either positive or attention) but it’s still a risk.

Hmm.
Ferentz said that it’s at least as difficult to coach a team dealing with success than it is a team dealing with adversity.
True, but the 2009 squad seems to have a definite advantage over the 2006 squad in terms of talent (at virtually every position) and team chemistry — it’s nice to have that if you’re trying to deal with success.
Additionally, Iowa isn’t the only team playing its best ball of the season.
There’s no way that Iowa is playing its best ball of the season. Doing so would mean that they were playing at a high level and doing so consistently – which is not the case. To look at just two examples: Bulaga and the defensive line. Bulaga has been treated like a turnstile the past two weeks, but we watched him absolutely dominate defensive ends last year, so it’s not drinking black-and-gold kool aid to suggest that he can play much, much better. The defensive line was getting absolutely shoved around for much of the Michigan game and the first quarter or so of the Wisconsin game (they obviously played much better in the second half of that game). We have seen them play much better (in the second half last week, for instance), so quality of play isn’t the issue – consistency is.
Agreed
The upcoming MSU game reminds me so much of our PSU game last year. Road game against a team that had some early season struggles that is trying to get back into the discussion (and lost most of their games by only a couple points, sound familiar?). In a venue where the visiting team has not had recent success and this game screams “IT’S A TRAP!” to me, as well as one where MSU is a difficult team to get a read on. Really worried about this one.
I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.
I like the pundits mocking us. I figure its got to be great motivation for the players.
Someone needs to make up black t-shirts with good letters that say “NO RESPECT”.
F’ ‘em if they don’t respect us. I guess its OK for Clayborn and co. to continue ripping other teams’ nuts off and stuffing them down their collective throats with raw jalapenos and used razor blades.
Can we make this picture more box-ish
It has background potential but their faces are super skinny with the current dimensions when stretched into a background.
