Sam Kinison First Appearance on Letterman (via ampoh)
Let the inner Sam Kinison out. It's healthy. It's all we've got.
Please let the second half go better, otherwise it's going to get ugly and we're just going to end up on This Week In Schadenfreude.
SOMEBODY SHOOT ME! THIS ISN'T KINNICK I'M IN HELL! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

Look...
they have one serious drive in this game. Otherwise, they have a 12 yard drive and a 35 yard drive for TDs.
We need to get points on this next possession and lock down for a few series and see what’s what.

Guys, take it from me
As somebody who went through both Toledo and App. State – you do not want your season to go down the tubes to IU.
That being said, my guess is that Iowa gets their heads out of their asses and comes back in this thing. There is way too much time left to hit the panic button just yet.

Fuck It
None of this is real. The #4 ranking, the accolades, or the undefeated record. We’re just not very good. We feasted on a weak Big 10, crappy inexperienced QB’s, and gift turnovers. I am done freaking out about this. I’ve tossed my last laptop across the room. I’ve cried out like a popped my groin for the last time. We suck and we’re finally back to the median, where we belong. We’re Iowa, after all. It was a good ride, but it’s over.
Perhaps my best years are gone. When there was a chance of happiness. But I wouldn't want them back. Not with the fire in me now. No, I wouldn't want them back.

Indiana
should thank Spivey for the GIFT of a TD at the end of the first half.
BALLS OF STEEL RICKY! BALLS OF STEEL!!!!!!
Amazingly
losing to IU wouldn’t be the end of the world. It’s not like an undefeated Iowa would go to the NC anyway.
I still think Iowa unfucks themselves in the second half and steamrolls Indiana.

why is ken o keefe still calling the deep pass into the wind
when stanzi threw an int on the same play earlier?? the play calling is confusing me.

4th quarter with the wind
A couple long TD throws and we’re back to happy.

OK, no more tv noise....
I have occupational turrettes... My job makes me swear uncontrolably at everyone.
Just no need for any of this.
The run, and short passes are working, and have been working all game. Every time we go deep we get picked off. It’s just unnecessary! It’s almost like the coaching staff is panicking…
'They are who we thought they were!'
Both of those throws are TDs in games that don't have 15-20 mph winds.
Stanzi hasn’t adjusted to the wind, and his deep ball is suffering.

Ok, but the wind has been there all day.
It’s not like it just picked up. Just no need to throw deep.
'They are who we thought they were!'
Being outplayed is one thing.
But that’s really not the case….Stanzi is making poor decisions, Special Teams has been awful, D is on the field WAY TOO MUCH.
Ok... I put some of this on Stanzi, yes.
But i think you have to at least wonder about the continual calling of deep plays, when the run and short passes are working. I don’t normally question the play calling.coaching staff, but this is frustrating…
'They are who we thought they were!'
But one guy running a deep route NOT EQUALS "calling a deep play"
It’s Stanzi’s decision to throw deep, not KOK’s.
I got more rhymes than Wade Lookingbill's got dunks
One more quarter....
PLEASEPLEASEPLEASE
I have occupational turrettes... My job makes me swear uncontrolably at everyone.
A word about long passes
Sure the coaches are calling the plays, but those aren’t the only receivers running routes. I love Ricky, but he’s been misreading everything today. he doesn’t NEED to choose the deep route, but he has been all day. And when the receiver is open, he’s throwing the worst balls of the season.
Those throws need to be ropes...
Not lobbed.
We'll look back at this
one day. Wait. No we won’t.
"I think it's safe to say our concerns are many." -- Kirk Ferentz
I know what you are saying about the wind. Funny though their QBs seem fine. Just sayin.
Why not Iowa????
Their qb is playing much better.
Just sayin.
Are they throwing as many deep balls into the wind, though?
That doesn’t excuse Stanzi’s throws, but that isn’t helping either.

what's nice
is we scored enough that even if they’d had that score – it wouldn’t matter!
I have occupational turrettes... My job makes me swear uncontrolably at everyone.
I see USC losing tonight and
And I would not be surprised to see Texas lose. This game will not be discussed after those two games are over. Thankfully.

nope
the pollsters don’t watch games, and certainly don’t watch Iowa (only SEC). They’ll see the see the final score, and vote Iowa in the same place. Unless someone above us loses.

If Oregon curbstomps SC (which they might)
then yes, this game will be completely forgotten.

Had to DVR the game and watch it while my daughter was taking a nap
First, my daughter’s a real trooper to keep sleeping through all my screaming. Second, holy shit that was great, I went from totally pissed to elated in a matter of 5 minutes thanks to the beauty of fast forwarding through the commercials.
We have every right to dream heroic dreams. Those who say that we're in a time when there are no heroes, they just don't know where to look.

at the end of the day
a blow out is a blow out. no matter how ugly it was. we won and won BIG
BALLS OF STEEL RICKY! BALLS OF STEEL!!!!!!
I'm not proud
I gave up after the 5th interception. I just couldn’t see us winning.
But I was wrong. That forth quarter was the most amazing thing I’ve even seen.
It never gets to be easy
It would be nice
to see 60 minutes of football.

Yeah turns out the wind was a real problem
If we had a functioning running game, I think we pound it in the third quarter and avoid the ints. But that is not who we are this year. Its funny, my usual criticism of KOK is that he is too conservative. And I am sure being behind changed the playing calling a bit. But I would have thought we would play conservative, run the ball, punt if we have to, play field position, let the D rule.
What happened in the 4th quarter was why we deferred. But we didn’t play the third quarter like we believe in that decision.

You sum it up pretty nicely...
I was at the game and if you would have seen how wide open those deep DJKs were you wouldn’t question the INTs so much. But the adjustment still should have been made.
To those who will argue
Indiana’s overturned td – Fuck you, we’re Iowa.
To those who want to see “pretty” football – Fuck you, we’re Iowa.
To those who don’t want see iowa in the MNC – Fuck you, we’re Iowa
And to jNWU… You’re up next.
Fuck you, we’re IOWA!
Championship teams just find a way to win...
I’m not saying…but I’m saying!!!!!!!!! 9-0…9th bitchmade…whose next?
Quick thoughts from the game
Stanzi was just flat terrible – but we have WRs that made up for it in the 4th quarter. Neither touchdown was his doing. However, Stanzi has now gotten reminded that he needs to manage the game, rather than trying to be the hero.
Wegher looked solid. If you take away how many times he’s tackled in the backfield because a D-lineman was either unblocked or just steamrolled an O-lineman, he would look even better. 25 carries for 117 with 3TDs is an excellent game. I’m not terribly concerned about not having Robinson when Wegher can do that.
The D didn’t look nearly as dominant as usual today, but did enough to win.
9-0 is 9-0. All these Mark May types, saying we don’t deserve to be highly rated, can suck it. We find a way to win. Otherwise, they’d better start dropping Florida, Alabama, and Texas down too. This “style points” BS should not determine the national champion. That should be decided on the field.
Re: Wegher
I dunno. He was great once Indiana’s D was all worn out and finished with nice numbers, but he was really bad for most of the game. I’m not looking forward to him against a better D.
To some degree
I think that’s kind of the point. Just like AP for the Vikes, may not look like he’s getting much done in the first 3 quarters, but it wears a defense out. In the 4th you can run all over them.

We are the Pittsburgh Steelers of college football
Not surprising since our jerseys are copied from them LOL.

I do like how the ESPN crew
have renamed the 4th quarter, Stanzitime.
'They are who we thought they were!'
Well...that was interesting
I mean, awesome, but it’d be nice if one waseasy. If Stanzi was even okay that’d have been a blowout, McNutt and DJK were getting behind the defense all fucking day.
Isn't it nice to have not only big play receivers, but more than one?
We’ve got some weapons out there if Ricky can get the ball to them.
