An addendum to "F--k you, we're Iowa".

The powers that be (read: ESPN) seem to be in an all out assault on the Iowa Hawkeyes, continually filling their airwaves with negativity about our team. All night long on Saturday, the crawl at the bottom of the screen read,"Iowa 42 Indiana 24 (Iowa trailed 24-14 at start of 4th quarter). Big plays for Iowa: Sash 86 yard INT return for TD, McNutt 92 yard TD reception, Johnson-Koulianos 66 yard TD reception (all with Iowa trailing)". Did they put this much info in the crawl when Alabama blocked two kicks to beat an average Tennessee team? Did they mention the calls that went Florida's way when they sneaked past average Arkansas and horrible Mississippi State? Thirdly, does anyone detract from Texas because they barely beat an injury riddled Oklahoma team? Fourthly, does anyone remember that Oregon "got lucky" to beat Purdue, or do they just continue to suck the Duck? The answer to these questions is: no, no, no and the pundits faces are covered with duck semen.
As an Iowa fan, these things are frustrating. However, I rejoice in the fact that we are getting no respect. Kirk Ferentz has played the no respect card for nearly his entire tenure at Iowa, and has played it with resounding success. Now, the only question that remains is: Where do we go from here?

It's true
I was annoyed by the editorializing that accompanied our score. What do they fucking care?
Anyway, I think Ferentz is right to play this low key. We finish our season before everyone else. So, if the stars are aligned, and we finish undefeated, we get to be the first in the clubhouse. And THEN everyone else has to shoot a number to beat us. Moreover, we get to dissect everyone else’s play.

Greatest line ever written on this blog? Or greatest line ever written in English?
I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.
I'd pay real money to see real duck semen on Pete Carroll's face
Instead, it got squirted all over his team.

Disrespect
It makes it so much sweeter when you prove all the nay-sayers wrong. I can’t wait for the rationalization they will have to concoct over at the World’s Worst Liars to spin a Cinderella season for Iowa in a negative light. They’ll probably make up some story about Ferentz and the coaching staff sacrificing puppies before each game in the underbelly of Kinnick Stadium. In honor of Evy, I hope that Stanzi goes out onto the field in the bowl game with a victory cigar in his mouth for our last series.
They took the bar, the whole fucking bar!

On another non-football forum, a Vols fan told me Cincy would kick our ass
Like TN is all that good this season.

Well played with the Major League quote. And ESPN will continue to swim in duck semen up until the Hawks stick it in their fuckin’ ass.
I'm certainly not old enough to have been in 'Nam
But that is easily one of my favorite things to say.
It's not that I'm lazy, Bob, it's just that I don't care
I, like most (I think)...
…have been waiting for the OSU game to see how real this season is (of course if we lose, then we are just an 11-1 Big Ten team— or something like that— god, how terrible). Back in July/August when Jewel went down, if you told me we’d be 9-0 I would have shat my pants right then and there. All year long I figured we’d lose at Columbus (of course I thought we’d lose a couple others too), but now it’s looking like a possible win.
IF we win at OSU, then tWWL will want to start coming around and jumping on the bandwagon (whether they wanna send us to the MNC or not, tWWL likes a winner and a good story). IF that happens, may I make a suggestion (not that it will happen, but it would be sweet)? Any fan they want to talk to should respond by talking about all of the 4 leaf clovers they’ve been collecting, and how many rabbits’ feet are spread around the campus. The players and coaches should start saying, “I dunno, I think we could have done better this year. And besides, we need an asterisk next to the win/loss column for 2009 because no one else in the Big Ten could beat a high school team.”
Basically, we could rob them of what they want (their story) by regurgitating all of their tripe back to them (of course, if we lose to OSU they’ll feel vindicated, but whatever, at least then they’ll leave us alone while we go pound another Pac 10 or SEC team).
Go HAWKS!
