PrintIowa Hawkeyes at Indiana Hoosiers, Jan 24, 2010 5:00 PM CST
Wow, what an exciting game contest between the Colts and Jets! Such late-game drama! Nobody could have seen that ending coming! Intrigue! Drama! Magic!What we can be sure of is that our resident heroes, Dallas Clark and Shonn Greene, performed to the best of their abilities and that everyone went home knowing the maximum effort had... had been... okay, fine. So we wrote this part before the Colts-Jets game was even played. We admit it.
But SO FUCKING WHAT. Nobody's reading this for the factual value of the preceding NFL game and its thread. You can go to Blue Stampede Stampede Blue or Gang Green Nation for that.. We're here to see the Hawkeyes try for their first (and likely last and only) college basketball road win of the season.
Their target is the Indiana Hoosiers, who have bounced around the consistency spectrum enough for a 9-9 record and a reputation for being able to beat all but the top 50 teams in the nation... and being able to lose to just about anybody. Iowa can be that somebody, people. It's completely unsporting, but beggars can't be choosers--and Iowa's been on the "beggar" end of that equation since about six years ago. We take what we can get.
Anyhoo,it's Iowa in a hostile environment, and it just might end in a road win for the first time since... okay, this isn't factually correct, but whenever we ask our browsers, it responds "since for-fucking-ever." So it goes.. It's been a long damn time. Time to break that streak.

Luck is probability taken personally, clutch is probability attributed to individuals.
Stick a fork in the jets...
No Greene and they can’t keep the colts off the field in the second half. Time for some hoosier beatdown.
I am sorry for this comment, but I miss Bobby Knight ..... I was at CHA the night Iowa
laid 100 on them. He just sat there and took like a man
I loved the General as well.
Now, when I listen to him as the color man on some ESPN games, I wonder how much anti-anxiety medicine he is on.
I've sentenced boys younger than you to the gas chamber. Didn't want to do it. I felt I owed it to them.

11 seconds into the game, and Iowa fires its first pass into the stands.
It’s gonna be a good day.

Wait a second, Indiana is awful
Watford just got rejected by the side of the backboard.

May in the clear out in front, Cully apparently more interested in his shoes.
Wow
This isn’t even basketball yet.
Police said the student donkey-kicked an officer after she was caught stealing vitamins from a downtown store.
Great pass
May made that a little harder than he needed to by not going straight up, but a nice play.
Because of that

Indiana is real bad
Also they haven’t had their inevitable 20-4 run yet.
This announcer has a loose definition of "great start."
Considering we have more turnovers than made baskets so far.
Big junkies come from little junkies.
literally as I posted this Indiana gave the ball right back
And then as I wrote this, Cole turned it over again because he hates me. I’m getting drunk.
Why is Jarryd Cole dribbling (stop)

Because if you don't dribble, you get called for travelling.

Both teams displaying their strengths.

Indiana misses a 2-foot bunny, and the ball gets stuck.

Iowa is going to obliterate their season high of offensive rebounds at this rate

Is Fuller really this good?
Or is Indiana’s interior defense even more pathetic than ours?
Big junkies come from little junkies.
I think so, yeah
He’s done this against several teams, including Purdue when he was being guarded by Johnson
I liked him a lot last year
But his post game has come a long ways. Bulking up helped him a ton.
I just want to cryogenically freeze them until we have teammates for them that don't suck.
Big junkies come from little junkies.
How do the refs figure Fuller wasn't fouled?
Also, I’m just delighted about the idea of a 6’9", 260 kid throwing entry passes to someone three inches shorter and 50 pounds lighter.

Hawks brought their rebounding shoes today. Sweet.
No, he's really good
Just not, like, “BEST RUNNING BACK IN FOOTBALL” good like Vikings fans like to pretend. Way too boom or bust and fumble prone.
Yeah, agreed.
I don’t think you can seriously argue that he’s the best after what Chris Johnson did this year.
And he definitely needs to quit fumbling the ball as much. I think it’s even-odds whether the Vikes will be done in by a costly AP fumble or a FAVREBALL at some point.
Big junkies come from little junkies.
Vikes get on the board first with a nice run from AP.
Lets see what their defense can do against Brees.
So
This is what bball was like during the Korean war…
Hard to believe KXIC passed up broadcasting this
In favor of the women’s basketball game. Which they are also winning. When’s the last time both men and women won on the same day?
Congrats on making the Pro Bowl even less interesting than usual, NFL.
Really nice work.
Big junkies come from little junkies.
Before I would watch because, hey. last football for months
Now? Fuck that shit.
PSU takes Whiskey to OT in their own house?
Not a good year for B10 basketball
I think there is just a lot more parity the people expected.
Just goes to show that you can’t take a game off and still expect to come out on top.
It's not like Wisconsin is the conference's marquee team this year anyway.

That was one of the least offensive thing he did at Iowa
Wasn’t he also the one who used to like smack around his girlfriend and shit too?
I swear he got arrested for getting drunk and hitting some girl
But perhaps I am wrong and have been hating him for no reason
Oh, the arrest that got him kicked out
I think what happened was that a cop saw him push his girlfriend into a wall, but they both said it was more playful than violent. Of course, at 2 am, a cop’s not going to agree, and he was already on his last strike.
I got more rhymes than Wade Lookingbill's got dunks
Oh, alright
So I have been hating him for no reason.
I always liked him when he played for the chiefs...
never gave up when most of the rest of the team had already mailed it in for the season.

Metcalf, who improved to 22-0 on the season, won by disqualification when Purdue senior Nick Bertucci was cited for flagrant misconduct at the 4:10 mark. Six team points were awarded to Iowa when Bertucci repeatedly kneed Metcalf in the face while the Hawkeye senior had Bertucci on his back trying to record a fall

Are you implying that Brennan Cougill is anything less than a commanding post presence?
Because that is an outrageous claim, sir.
Hey, everybody

Hey OPS,
some lady writer for the SC Journal would like to challenge you to a duel. Cougill was Iowa player of the year, so he must be awesome. No matter what he plays/looks like now.

during the last stop when they were showing aikman and buck
my roommate is a cowboys fan and said, finally a real quarterback is on the screen and someone said “obviously he’s not a real QB if he’s not on the field right now.”

That's ok
Aikman has taken so many shots to the head, he probably thinks he’s on the field right now.

Confession: Aikman’s kids go to my kids school here in Dallas. I’ve talked to him and watched him speak to small crowds at school about various shit. He is far, far more interesting in person than you’d ever think watching him call these games. Funny, opinionated, etc.
So it's true
Joe Buck IS the leading cause of mental retardation in America.

In his and Fox's defense
I am pretty sure that he is purely still riding his father’s coattails. It seemed like it was right around the time his old man passed that he became Fox’s go to guy. Methinks it’s time someone told Fox that he is not his dad.

From absolute crap, to just run of the mill crap.

Again, wait until we do it against a good team
MSU game was encouraging, but I’m not sure that wasn’t them just falling asleep. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I’m happy we’re winning, I just wouldn’t read too much into it yet
True
Plus, now Iowa is just a terrible basketball team. It’s one thing to be god-awful horrible it’s another to just be run of the mill miserable. I’d always rather be a 0-16 NFL team rather than a 1-15 team (and as a Dolphins fan, it was close); if you’re going to be bad, be SPECTACULARLY BAD
I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.
I see I'm not the only one who feels this way

I kind of hope they not only get to the super bowl but make it so I can point out that they couldn’t do it without a packers’ QB at the helm. Even though i don’t really like the packers either. Just really really hate the vikes.

Probably true...
but if they lose they will blame that fact on favre and if they win they’ll say its cause of the rest of the team….lame.
AP is a fumble machine....
Didn’t Kenny Mayne do a segment on how he has a ridiculously strong handshake? Funny how that doesn’t translate AT ALL.

stop trying to pick up fumbles. Fall on them. Jesus, it’s the playoffs. The possession is more important!

That is, what 2 ints and 3 fumbles? Crazy, but NO looks done, even with the ball to start OT. Seriously, I don’t know what I want to happen. Like Brees, hate Bush, Greenway and AY, but the turncoat Favre. I think they need to play 3 full nfl ots to see how I feel about this game.
It's like hating the Special Olympics.

You're damn right I'm pissed
The spot on 4th down was totally wrong (watch the replay, the ball never gets beyond the 42 because a Viking helmet almost causes a fumble – might have still been a first down by a quarter-inch, but they gave him a full foot beyond where it should have been), the pass interference call was on a ball that Stretch Armstrong wouldn’t have been able to reach, and I’m not convinced he actually managed to keep the ball off the ground on second down (I’m not at all certain that he didn’t, but after the screw-jobs on the two prior plays, they owed us one).
Of course, if Favre doesn’t lose his fucking mind on that interception and just runs to the 30 yard line (which was completely wide open), or if the Vikings don’t fumble 27 times, none of this matters.
Yeah...
The refs weren’t great, but the Vikings had to know what to expect with Favre.
