ORANGE BOWL LIVE OPEN GAME THREAD BLOG THING: Second Half Of Doom
by Adam Jacobi on Jan 5, 2010 8:57 PM CST
in Iowa Hawkeyes Football
Email
PrintThat went about as well as we could have asked for, right? Sure, there was the good ol' Epic Stanziball, but Georgia Tech's offense looked just plain miserable. Josh Nesbitt took on Adrian Clayborn several times. It worked zero times. Nesbitt's got 13 carries for 9 yards. It's so good.
We're hoping Iowa keeps up the defensive pressure and regains some of their offensive juju from the first quarter. But this is the Iowa Hawkeye football team we're talking about, and they do nothing easily except put people in the hospital with heart problems.
First half was a blast, and we're looking for lots more of that in the thread here. One more half in the season. Let's do it right and get ourselves a motherfucking BCS win.

he could have at least titled it

Luck is probability taken personally, clutch is probability attributed to individuals.
this couldn't happen any other way for this season
staunch defense, stanziballs keeping it close, o’keefe not getting plays in time

This is what bugs me about football. We kicked their asses on 90% of the plays run in the first half.
yet only lead by 7.
If you win 90% of the plays in basketball you win by 50.
Where the hell did they pull
these assholes off ice from? JUNGLE BOOGIE!! JUNGLE BOOGIE!! The Orange Bowl’s budget must have been 25cents and a party pass to Paper Moon strip club if they were stuck signing these guys…

Beats the Old Tyme Orange Bowl halftime fiascoes of the past.
Those used to have fireworks and flaming chariot races and unplanned dyamite blasts. When the teams came back onto the field—like, 45 minutes later, when the halftime show ended—the field used to be on fire, there were ambulances picking up casualties at midfield, and half the crowd was seizing.
So, Kool and the Gang seem pretty tame to me.
If it's not too much trouble, search your soul--and then ask yourself if maybe I might have a point.

are they from miami or something? do they do well with the nerd and farmer demos? what gives?
I'm a nerd from Iowa, and I like 'em.
they aren’t my favorite group, but it could be a lot worse. Remember when Kid Rock did the Superbowl?

I have confidence in Parker and Ferentz making adjustments like they always do

so how does GT adjust at halftime?

Actually, I don’t know WHAT kind of adjustments they could make that they wouldn’t have already made. They were inept—Arizona vs Nebby inept.

If this was Notre Dame I would be shitting
but I would think GT does nothing quickly…and we can’t claim to be tired. I do expect more passing by GT to lossen up the CBs coming in….they have this play action pass that they do. But if our DEs continue to dominate then I think wee need 7 more points to wrap it up.
