Thoughts
So, what do we all think happens if the Wannstache pulls out a close victory over Cincy? I doubt they’d get an At Large birth, but it is a bit concerning. I’m hoping for a blowout win by Pitt, or Cincy to somehow pull this out.

Well done on making me giggle
about an animal that’s endangered because it gets hit by propellers. My thought process was that badgers and wolverines can actually be ferocious, where as martins can only wish to be as ferocious as their larger relatives. Very appropriate for Minnesota.

I predict
much hand-wringing in the media about how they would deserve it, but no BCS bowl would want them. Their fan/TV support is so awful they might as well be covered in smallpox.
It might scuttle the Gator Bowl’s plan to match up West Virginia and Florida State, though.

There are a number of scenarios that could be funky for Iowa today
this Pitt game…and Pitt is the type of team that just might cumble in the second half…could affect us. Although, i cannot really see them in a BCS game if they lose (Cinncy that is). But a day of Pitt, Clemson (because of their affect on the O-Bowl avoiding a TCU rematch), and Nebraska winning is the doomsday scenario.

Yeah, I read this morning that
unemployment is double in Idaho what it was when Boise went to the Fiesta before. The bowls are scared shitless about this fan travel stuff. Knowing Iowa has already sold 17,500 tickets to a bowl regardless of its location…is an amazing feather. But I hate the whole primping for the bowls shit. I would much rather have ironclad criteria.

By the way
the economy is finally trickling down to college applications. Because families plan that so far in advance it was a delayed reaction. The expensive private schools are in full panic mode—save the Ivys and others with the massive endowments. This of course has nothing to do with the Pitt game..at least directly.

I bet Iowa sees a drop off with the downturn in the economy, and the rise in tuition. Of course, that won’t be from Illinois kids, since it’s cheaper to go to Iowa than Champbana.

Tebow is slow by NFL standards, whereas Young is a speedster. I really think Tebow would need to be faster to do the Young thing. He might be a better passer out of college but not good enough to overcome his lack of a run threat.

Tebow is totally a fullback
I’d be happy if the Steelers drafted him. We need a good FB

Need some help. Anyone know of a website that has comprehensive team stats for football. Things like total team D, rushing/passing D as well as offense. Assuming we play Boise, want to run some comparisons. Looking in the general direction of SMA as he usually has this sort of info handy. Many thanks.

He is literally not allowed to leave that early
He’s a true freshman, you can’t leave until after your third year in college.
Rule more specifically states
until he’s three years removed from High School. A year at prep school can count as one of those.

Nothing wrong with going to prep school
I actually respect the kids who do manage to get things in order, provided they go to a real school and not some diploma mill.

I think Lewis was going as much for football as academics
He had almost no offers out of high school, so the year in prep school helped his stock (a little, he was still getting almost no attention, which is insane watching him)
agreed
JoePa looks at them as well: it’s good, good training, both academic and football-wise.
McCoy figured he could advance after two years (good prescience, doing well behind westbroke this year) and that the classwork/fieldtime combo would be better with Stache (also right).

James Cleveland's having another big day for Houston
14 catches for 170 yards
He's had a huge year for them
Seems to be Keenum’s favorite receiver. Which tends to result in monster numbers.
I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.
I'm glad he's got his life together and is doing well
I liked him a lot as a player as Iowa, but they kinda had no choice but to let him go with the off the field shit. If he’s got that under control, good for him.
Agreed
But let’s be honest, if there hadn’t been all the other shit going down, probably wouldn’t have been kicked off the team.
I’m glad he’s doing well, too. Always had high hopes for him, looked like he had amazing potential and now gets to take advantage of it at a pass-happy school.
I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.
Yeah.
Wasn’t he like pot possession or something? In a lot of circumstances, that’s probably just a 4-game suspension or something, but when shit is falling apart like it was, heads gotta roll.
Good for him not continuing to fuck up, though — more than can be said for some other other guys from that dark period.
Also, if he stays, we probably don’t see the emergence of McNutt this year and that was one of my favorite subplots from the season.
Pot or pills
Can’t remember which. True about McNutt though. And to be honest, right now oru problem is almost an abundance of riches (relatively speaking, this is Iowa after all) in the WR department and just don’t throw it around enough to fully take advantage of what we have.

I know it should go without saying...
…but I so want Tebow to have a five interception, no touchdown, less than 100 yards and negative rushing. Not so much because I hate Tebow (which I only mildly do), but because I hate the ESPN story-construction game, and I’d love for them to have nothing to talk about except how good a defense is (they hate doing that).

I am assuming that Cincy winning this game helps us
because they wouldn’t take our (or Penn St.’s) at large bid in the BCS. Am I accurate on that?
Yeah.

And they all said they were having a better season than PSU.

Can't remember who
But somebody compared the USC-Oregon game to the 2001 Nebraska-Colorado game and how the latter game marked the beginning of the end for Nebraska being a perennial national power. Too early to tell if that’s the case for USC, this year just may be an aberration. If nothing else, Miami of this decade shows you that constantly losing a ton of talent to the pros season after season will eventually catch-up to you. Will be interesting to see how USC responds.

Hmm
Never thought of that. I find it unlikely due to Petey’s recruiting, but it’s still an interesting thought

It remains to be seen
But we said the same thing about Miami’s recruiting at the time (and Nebraska’s as well). USC certainly has a lot more advantages than Nebraska, and can therefore take a year or two long hit, but the ’90s show that things can go south for USC real quick, even with all their advantages (doubly true if Carroll gets the NFL itch again).
It’s not the end, just like it wasn’t for Nebraska, but it may well be the beginning of the end.

No, it was someone slightly more reputable
Though it may have been on CBSsportsline, so that increase in reputability is almost negligible.

That might have been Doc Saturday.
I think the bigger problem with USC is losing all his assistants. Lotta brain drain on the sidelines there.

That it would happen when Chow left, but he kept on. But it’s beginning to catch-up, especially losing both coordinators this season (and Sarkisian beating him right away).
