Print[Bumped. One more for the road.--OPS]
Apologies for the lateness - I came home to a wonky internet connection and three hours of sleep in two days finally catching up to me.
Anyhow, the bonus graphs were suggested to me by Hawkeyguy85 (who I sat behind at the Orange Bowl and whose screenname I probably butchered), and then executed much better by my good friend HawkOnRails...but in any case, here's my attempt at a tribute to our number-crunching brethren from the South:
And now, back to your regularly scheduled programming.
Without further ado, then:
September doesn't come soon enough. GO HAWKS.

nope...you got it spot on
and it was great to talk shit with you and your friends in the stands!
the clayborn pic is hilarious. HA! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
I'm impressed
I think you nailed the amount of NOM NOM NOM. I was worried it would be low.
Thanks for these, they’ve been great all year
It never gets to be easy
Another graph
And does anybody recall that over on “From the rumble Seat” blog, when they statistically broke down Iowa’s D, they titled the post:
Iowa’s D: “I hope you brought your punter.”
How Hlastradomous of them.

I would make a fanpost for this...
but somebody (HFMR?) should do a “GT Bitchmade” featuring Nesbitt and Dwyer. Maybe Morgan as well, for as much as we all heard about him and the great night he was going to have leading up to the game.
BeBe Thomas
is apparently heading to the NFL. He really helped his cause with that no catches thing. Did they even throw at him?

Our brothers at FTRS
Looked at the tape and said they threw to him three times. The more interesting question to me would be how many times we basically left him completely uncovered after we realized Nesbitt wasn’t going to be able to get the ball to him. I saw at least twice although with watching on TV there may have been safety coverage deep. I was surprised by the number of plays he simply wasn’t in the game.

Agreed. I re-watched last night, and noted the following
1: Moeaki bitchmade Morgan repeatedly.
2: On Stanzi’s first sack, we split Wegher out wide, and CUNKNNK creamed his pants. Unfortunately they dialed up an OLB blitz, and nobody was home to pick it up. In other words, KOK had some nice wrinkles thrown in for the game, and expect to see it again next year.
3: Ferentz is gambling man when it’s all on the line. Going for it on 4th down needing 3 yards at middfield with just under two minutes left in the first half? When was the last time you saw that from him. And obviously the fake FG. He takes chances when the risk on the negative side is somewhat constrained by field position or the clock. At least in the big ones.
4: Ricky Stanzi wears a “Team Edward” bracelet.

I think the edward bracelet is probably for that sick girl he is close to. and if its not for her, then we have a serious problem on our hands

Would you honestly expect anything less from Dicky though?
The dude clearly has an interesting awareness of the world and complete lack of care for what anyone thinks about him.

Absolutely...
I couldn’t agree more. It opitimizes the Manzi. I just threw my fourth pick six of the season, “Ah who gives a fuck?” People think I’m a little wierd because I have a man crush on a fictional vampire: well I guess that is a little wierd and, oh yeah, “Ah who gives a fuck?”
Would you give a fuck if you were the big swingin' Dick Stanzi? I think not sir
He doesn’t have to impress anyone, he does that on the field with his uncanny ability to win games.
They took the bar, the whole fucking bar!

Oh, I;m not complaining - especially if it makes my Gopher wife let me watch games....

I know you're not complaining, I'm just saying that SDS does in fact not give a fuck

Damn
at least he’s still got the patriotic thing going for him. All Hail The Americanzi

After watching Alabama tonight
I’m glad that are competent enough to douse Captain Kirk without slamming him in the side of the head with the Gatorade cooler. What a great fucking day to be a Hawkeye on Tuesday night!

these are effin hilarious
The only Clayborn picture I would have added(if it’s out there) would have been the one where he just STARED DOWN the GT punter. Anybody who wasn’t a Hawk fan was immediately converted. Forever.
Hameed
Nothing like striking some fear into the punter early on.

I just can't get enough of the word "Bitchmade"
Its so.. bitchin’.
Great work.

If you want more "bitchmade,"
just watch some Hawkeye basketball. We are bitchmade every afternoon/night we play.
Except for Little John.

Outstanding work!
I can’t believe the season is actually over. Damn.
Life is hard. It's really hard if you're stupid.
The Bitchmade Shot
Sums up this game completely – four black helmets pushing one yellow one back. With another black helmet waiting just in case.

The victim's eyes help too
Squeezed totally shut, to protect them from the onslaught of his chin strap as it makes its way north on his face.

Well
I wiuld have to say that, yes, those pictures sum the game up. Creative for sure.
Good game Hawks.
The college football season is so fragile. It's like a glass ball being pushed around from stadium to stadium by a rhinoceros.

Perfect.
You should add a little corner photo of one of the Wisky TE’s taking it to Da U in the photo of “The ACC…failing to cover TE’s since 1953.”

Too bad our new FTRS friends couldn’t see fit to do a proper write up with charts and graphs.

Funny
How the statistical analysis dried up as soon as Clayborn starting bitchmaking their entire offense. Most of the guys there immediately adopted the “we didn’t execute” excuse to explain away the loss. What is with Georgia Tech, from the coach on down, that prevents them from ever admitting “We got beat.”
I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.
Shit smells like shit no matter how its packaged.
