Foo Fighters - My Poor Brain (via 0foofighter0)
Battle music right at the top? It's just dumb enough to work.
Here we go. Iowa's 9-0 on the season, and all that's left is a road date with the BXI team we all strive to beat and two home games against two teams to whom it's just intolerable to lose. As we help foster this nastiest of the unprotected rivalries in the conference, we hope that Iowa calls up the echoes of the '80s and '90s to beat the living hell out of Northwestern.
We also hope that we don't hurt their boys too bad. After all, they're just Northwestern.
Liveblog rules hold steady. Avoid the slurs at all costs and motherfuck Northwestern. This game is ours. Let's do this.

Been hearing this from the pundits
that Terelle Pryor should expect a rude welcome against PSU because he is a Pennsylvania native and went to tOSU.
Has any body bothered to ask someone from PSU if they actually want him now?
His reason for not attending PSU?
too country…that may not have gone over very well with the Nittany Lions
"I think it's safe to say our concerns are many." -- Kirk Ferentz
Earth to Terrell
you’re not exactly in the Paris of the midwest there in Columbus.
Who knew that Terrell Pryor was such a sophisticate?
"I think it's safe to say our concerns are many." -- Kirk Ferentz
Ohh come on....
The red-neck buckeye guy is the epitome of sophistication. He even threatened to take Pryor to the “woodshed” if Terrelle continued to “fuck up his program” that just oozes high society.

I hate those fucking squib punts. Makes no sense to me. Just kick the fucking ball.

He just throws better when he’s on the move.

A punt return for a touchdown
is a bit misleading

Looks like he stumbled, but the ball was uncatchable.
(and was un-interceptable)

Stanzi's looking good in the shotgun
I know that play wasn’t quite there, but they’re not getting any pressure when we’re in the shotgun
tripped over defender...was a perfect pass if he doesnt trip
"I think it's safe to say our concerns are many." -- Kirk Ferentz
Had to have been a botched play...
Either Stanzi threw it to the wrong spot or DJK stopped/quit or ran the wrong route
Black and Gold Blood: Cubbie Blue Heart
DJK got feet tangled with defender

It was.... in the air!

Maybe Kirk has them believing that we are down 50 pts at the start of the game
We just need more than the 4th to come back
Agreed
This means Iowa will go up like 21, then Kafka will lead a comeback to commit the highest act of absurdism and surrealism. Y’know, sorta like the whole season’s been going.

Trevor Matich is a dolt
On the radio version of Gameday they were talking about how Iowa would fare against other top teams, and Matich said we could beat Boise since they have weak run defense and we can ‘pound the ball’. Really? Of course he thinks we’d lose to everyone else.

Iowa certainly is attacking their biggest weakness
Which is their defense in general of course, but specifically the secondary. I have no problem with the “stretch the field” strategy.
Black and Gold Blood: Cubbie Blue Heart
He is getting greedy
But I don’t mind yet. If it keeps killing drives, I’ll get bothered, but I love the aggressiveness, and I think it helps his mindset. He’s playing a fairly clean game so far, and that’s how I like it.
