Things have gone... sour. Sour to quite sour. Here, we wail and lament. And also Iowa's still going to win because this is what the script always says.

Please come back, Ricky Stanzi. Please.

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.

Griese is chastising Iowa for the timeout that Northwestern took

Which, what?

I got more rhymes than Wade Lookingbill's got dunks

It sure sounded like...

He was complaining that the timeout wasn’t at the beginning of the playclock. If the timeout comes after 2nd or 3rd down, as long as the team punts, it doesn’t really matter, does it?

I'm afraid that the math is not good for us

even if Ohio State loses today. The tiebreaker rule is that in a three way tie (I am assuming we lose to Ohio State and beat Minny) the team with the highest BCS ranking goes…and I think overall record. So PSU goes.

Bottom line, we must beat Ohio State to see a conference championship and the Rose Bowl. No way around it.

Why not give Vandy a chance when he has actual prep time with the 1’s? I’m not expecting anything out of the OSU game, but the Minnesota game is not an impossibility.
