The lady and I were going to eat at Breadeaux Pizza last night. Then we didn't. Consider the allusion in the title our way of making it up to you, Breadeaux. Or give us free pizza, whatevs.
It's one busy busy Sunday for us. First of all, there's the BCS Selection Show, which'll be going down at 7 pm. SPOILER ALERT: We're going to the Bluebonnet Bowl.
Then there's only the most important dual meet of the season: #1 Iowa at #2 Iowa State, at 6 pm at Hilton Coliseum. Here's the promo video, with Iowa's vaunted starting lineup:
I'm not sure Goldust is going to make weight at 133.
It's on IPTV if you're here in Iowa. If you're not, that really sucks; your only alternative is ponying up about $8 at the Cyclones' official site, which, fuck them.
As this is an open thread, comments go below, don't troll, don't use slurs, etc. etc. Y'all know the rules. But first, just to make sure this isn't left unsaid, a little editorializing:
If the Fiesta Bowl is indeed nabbing both non-BCS teams (both of whom, rest assured, have put together exemplary and admirable seasons) and the Orange Bowl goes ahead and takes Iowa, this will be one of the strangest, most inexplicable decisions in the BCS bowl era. It'd be one thing if the Fiesta took Penn State: they travel well, JoePa probably won't get many more chances to get back to Tempe, they didn't lose to just Northwestern, etc. etc.
But while it's undeniable that TCU put together a better season than Iowa did--we were semi-secretly hoping Nebraska would win and let the Horny Frogs get a shot at the national title--it's common knowledge that the bowl selections are primarily business decisions made within a loose framework of football guidelines (for example, Notre Dame can't get there at 6-6, etc). So when a team like Iowa has arguably the best traveling fan base of the at-large teams eligible for the BCS and has already accounted for all 17,500 of its tickets, and they get passed over for a MWC team that can't even sell out its own meager stadium, well, we have to ask: what on earth are the Fiesta Bowl people thinking?
We don't care a ton for conspiracy theories--life provides daily reminders of how impossible it is to keep a secret in the Age of Online Internet Email Netscape--but we can't help but wonder if this is a function of the BCS protecting itself and its conferences: sequestering and secluding the pesky non-BCS interlopers in their own bowl. Are they trying to avoid another (in their eyes, and theirs alone) "embarrassment" like Utah going undefeated and wiping the floor with Alabama in last season's Sugar Bowl? Are they worried about two non-BCS schools running the table and doing so while beating two
Because really, that's the only way any of this makes sense. If the Fiesta Bowl really wanted to sell the game out like they claimed, they'd assuredly do so with Iowa. They may or may not with TCU and Boise. If the Fiesta Bowl really always wanted Iowa since 1981 like John Junker claimed, they wouldn't pass on such a prime opportunity just to get TCU in the building instead.
Anyway, we can continue that discussion in the thread. That's my jumping off point, though, and feel free to educate me (and the rest of us) otherwise if I'm talking nonsense. I'm just baffled, though.
Yay and all, but....

yeah but
of all yrs to play a running team, this isn’t the one. not saying Iowa can’t contain Ga Tech’s vaunted ground game, but the strength of this yrs defense is their pass rush and secondary. which I would’ve loved to see against Boise.

(Fiesta suspended sales. When I checked two weeks ago, they only had the upper deck corners left).
Visited the Boise blog to see what they are saying
they are talking themselves into a boycott if they paired up again with TCU (they played last year…and lost). They feel like it is the BCS asking the two non AQs to go play in the sandbox until dinner. I think it would be more like the BCS asking them to eat at the kids table. But we’re quibbling now.

The Fiesta would lose millions by putting these two together. And as for Boise & TCU – SMA is right. They DON’T want to play each other. The whole point of “busting into the BCS” is to give them a chance to knock off a major team.

And I’d like to point out, despite all the bitching and moaning about the BCS by the likes of the Boise States of the world, if it weren’t for the BCS (and the way they were shamed into it), they’d never get within sniffing distance of these bowls. Back during the pre-BCS Bowl Alliance/Coalition days, no way in hell does a TCU or Boise or Utah have any prayer of even being allowed on the parking lot of one of the major bowls (well, TCU could’ve gone to the Cotton in the SWC days). It was only after another media “outcry” in the early part of this decade about Utah being excluded that these mid-major teams were even allowed in. Not saying that Boise/TCU don’t deserve an invite, they do, just that things might not be “fair” but they’re a hell of a lot less unfair than the days when no one even pretended to care about these teams.

I wrote this on my blog, but I'll say it here too:
If I’m on either one of those teams, or a fan, I’m royally issed. For TCU to take on a Georgia Tech or an Iowa or a Florida is a chance to say look, we’re right up there with big-time, big-conference teams, and that’s why Utah gets so much credit for last year’s beatdown of Alabama. If TCU beats up on Boise, what do they win? They would have a victory over an “overrated” Boise State team, and will never get to show that they were championship game material. Even if Boise were to defeat TCU, the loser will inevitably be labeled a fraud, and the winner will get nothing out of it.

If this comes to pass
this is the BCS telling the Utah’s and so forth…fuck you, we make the rules. Beggers can’t be choosers. I would bet the bowls have agreed to “cover” any Fiesta losses. Cause there will be losses. The Boise blog is threatening a boycott.

Of course, the same problems that the winner have would affect a BCS team, as well.
Which is why an Iowa-Boise Fiesta is an absolute no win for the Iowa football team (outside of being granted a BCS bowl bid). Beating Boise just proves that their record is a result of their garbage schedule, while a Boise win makes Iowa look as if they were just lucky all year and the BigTen isn’t worth two shits. For BCS conference fans, a Boise-TCU matchup is ideal.
That said, TCU is getting hosed. I wholeheartedly believe that they deserve a shot at a BCS school, and think their defense is good enough to take the Orange.

Because TCU is the second best team in the country, and won’t get a chance to play for a title. Because Cincy and Boise are also undefeated, and yet nobody would hear anything other than Texas and Alabama. Because it’s our only shot at a playoff!

As you’ve guessed: I’m a huge TCU supporter. I think they deserve to play in the title game, far more than Texas. And yet: I was rooting for Texas last night. Praying that they would win.
Why?
Because if Texas loses, and TCU plays in the MNC game, then the BCS is vindicated! Look at us, we got a mid-major in to the BCS championship game! Nothing to see here! Who needs a playoff? TCU getting shafted is the best thing that could have possibly happened, now we need them to crush Boise.

I think your average TV watching, non -analytical thinking American thinks this way.
I half agree
I think TCU is the second best team in the country. Boise? Might be 10-2, 9-3 if they were in the Big Ten. But TCU would be 11-1 or 12-0. They’re legit.

by chitownhawkeye on Dec 6, 2009 6:06 PM CST up reply actions
I think that...
the Fiesta Bowl is just trying to do both of these schools (TCU and Boise) a favor by making it somewhat easy for their fans to get there. Maybe the Sugar is closer for TCU, but you could definitely drive to Glendale from TCU in a day or so. And obviously, since Boise can’t get into the Rose Bowl, then this is the next easiest car ride for them of the BCS bowls.
I have no clue about airfare prices, but I would think that a plane ticket from Boise to Phoenix would be cheaper than Boise to New Orleans or Boise to Miami.

ITS A NO-WIN SITUATION!

It's definitely a shaft. Devon's right
Neither team comes out with any more respect after winning this game. But, as an Iowa fan, I’m okay with that. A general CFB fan, however, has every right to be upset.

Yeah, they handled BYU and Utah, but you don’t get the Tiffany crystal football for that.
Bowl selections can’t base their decisions on “how much national respect will the winner come out with.”
And honestly, these two teams should be happy with any BCS bowl. There are 3 undefeated teams in the mix, too. And two of those are in “really big” conferences.

Spitballing Playoff systems at SB, my favorite so far
14 teams, 11 conf champs plus 3 at larges. Seeded by BCS ranking with a tweak for no first round rematches. This years bracket would be:
1. Bama

8. Ohio State
9. Georgia Tech
5. Boise
12. East Carolina
4. TCU
13. Central Michigan
3. Cincy
16. Troy
6. Florida
11. Penn State
7. Oregon
10. Iowa
2. Texas
Bye
Luck is probability taken personally, clutch is probability attributed to individuals.
Here's my personal playoff system:
1. Alabama (SEC Champ)

8. Florida (1 at large)
2. Texas (Big XII Champ)
v.
7. Georgia Tech (ACC Champ)
3. TCU (non-BCS Qualifier)
v.
6. Ohio State (Big Ten Champ)
4. Cincinnati (Big East Champ)

5. Oregon (Pac 10)
Sory Boise.

1.6 Determining Wrestling Order
Immediately after the weigh-in for a dual meet or multiple dual meets conducted
on the same day, coaches may mutually agree to determine the order of matches
to be wrestled, allowing for a particular weight class to be featured. Once the first
weight class is established, subsequent matches will continue in the traditional
sequence of increasing weight class.
If coaches cannot agree on the wrestling order, a random draw shall be conducted
to determine which weight class will be wrestled first.

"I believe he’s been reincarnated, that he played before, in the twenties and thirties, and he’s back to prove something."
Well...
This Iowa defense can be rushed upon (see pre-injury John Clay) and the pass coverage skills aren’t going to be put to work very often. GT’s a really, really poor matchup for Iowa.
I got more rhymes than Wade Lookingbill's got dunks
Agreed. I'm hoping a month will be enough to game plan for them.
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.

"I believe he’s been reincarnated, that he played before, in the twenties and thirties, and he’s back to prove something."
Very true.
But given nearly a month to prepare, I’m confident Norm will figure out a way to stop the Ga Tech running game…or at least slow it down and force their QB to throw.

If my Mom wasn't dying of cancer right now I might feel differently
I spent all of Thanksgiving and half of last week sitting with my Mom in Mercy, watching her punch the morphine button like a Vegas slot machine and its still not slowing down the pain of her lung cancer as its now eating up spine like Mangino at an all-you can eat buffet.
Unfortunately, I have to work, I have no brothers or sisters, just some cousins, back in Des Moines and hopefully she’ll get out of Mercy on Tuesday so she can go home with hospice assistance before she has to go to Taylor House for the end.
I am profoundly depressed right now. I already despise the Christmas/Holiday season in general, and this year sucks even more.

Great dual.
Keddy really gave the ’Clones some hope. Glad to get out with the W and keep the dual streak alive.
Apparently someone does.
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.
Those of you who preferred Fiesta vs. BSU to Orange vs. GT
Please explain. It seems obvious to me that the Orange matchup is a much better opportunity for us.
Geography.
I gots people in AZ and a trip already planned there.
I did not want to play the Smurf Turf. I wanted to see IA in AZ.
Pretty poor showing by Iowa after intermission.
Props to Rasing for keeping it close.
Demerits to Keddy for getting upset and for Beatty for getting majored.
I would be upset at M*… but M* is M*. You know what you’re getting.

Let's see
Take Iowa and the points
Oregon, OSU take the points I think
Take florida it will be ugly
Take BSU, hate the bastards, but 8 only won by one last time
Bama, hmmmmmm, don’t know would say Bama and points, but did they shoot the wad against Florida? Hmmm Texas and the points
Yes take Hawks and points!!!
If we have learned anything this year it is exactly that! Iowa covered the spread on EVERY road game this year! It’s like taking candy from a baby!
only thing about Boise / TCU, if you think about last yrs teams, TCU seems to have improved quite a bit whereas I don’t think Boise has

Great story about the '03 Orange bowl...
Myself and many friends tailgated in the parking lot of ProPlayer stadium (now landshark) before the game against USC. 4 of us painted ourselves black and gold and spelled IOWA on our chests. I had both of my arms completely painted yellow and on our way into the stadium (well lubricated) we ran into Tim Dwight and couple of his buddies heading into the game as well. Tim took a picture with us that spelled IOWA, I was the “O” so I was next to Tim and I had my arm across his back. Tim was wearing a very nice black silk shirt…as Tim walked away I noticed he had a nice bright yellow stripe on his back! Classic! Tim didn’t notice…at least while we were around that is. lol!
We have some revenge to dish out at the Orange Bowl…Time to kick some YellowJacket ASS!!!
GO HAWKS!
Awesome
My dad and I went down for that game. We took the red eye into Miami that landed the morning of the game, went straight to the stadium, tailgated all day, and then I had to witness the complete domination of Iowa at the hands of U$C. My favorite memory was seeing how many fans there were surrounding the stadium before the game. I wonder how many folks will travel only for the tailgate?
They took the bar, the whole fucking bar!

That was the best tailgate ever!
We have a video of one of the guys with us doing a flip off of the top of a mini van and landed flat on his feet (on the cement no less).
Agreed
The only other tailgate that can come close for me was last year’s Outback Bowl where a couple of South Carolina fans were sleeping in their car in their Snuggies. Let’s just say, they got the royal treatment for parking in the middle of the Iowa fans.
They took the bar, the whole fucking bar!

I once saw Timmy D and Co
walk into Quinton’s, buy a round of Tall Girl pint beers, chug, and simultaneously shatter their glasses on the floor.
it was a very douchey thing to do. but kind of funny.

People who know things and/or where to find them:
When was the last time we played an ACC team in football?
by Third Generation Hawk on Dec 7, 2009 12:47 AM CST reply actions
A long, long time ago.
We hit up teams from the other conferences fairly regularly between bowl tie-ins (SEC, Big 12) or scheduled non-conf games (Big 12, Big East, Pac 10), but we’ve basically been ignoring the ACC.
Last time we played:
Clemson: never
Boston College: never
Florida State: never
Wake Forest: never
NC State: 1992 (L, 24-14)
Maryland: never
North Carolina: never
Duke: never
Georiga Tech: never
Virginia Tech: never
Miami: 1992 (L, 24-7)
Virginia: never
We’re actually 0-7 lifetime against the ACC (0-3 against NC State, 0-4 against Da U).
It should be pointed out...
that two of those losses vs. Miami were when the Canes were still independent. So we’re only 0-5.
So there.
I got more rhymes than Wade Lookingbill's got dunks
AND HANG ON
The other two MIami losses were when they were in the Big East.
So double there.
