in Iowa Hawkeyes Game Threads
Email
PrintGood morning, friends, countrymen, and avowed haters of Purdue. It's football Saturday, which means it's time to get your open thread on. Your humble moderators will be largely unavailable today, but we know how much you need a forum to vent about announcers, mock other teams' failures, and rejoice in the glory that is college football. If you're in Iowa City, there's a tentative meet-up planned at the Airliner for these early games. Check the twitters for more details, then say "hi" if you can find us.
* Northwestern @ Minnesota (ESPN, 11am CST)
* Miami @ Clemson (ESPN2, 11am CST)
* Kansas @ Baylor (FSN, 11am CST)
* Ohio State @ Illinois (BTN, 11am CST)
So come on in. Standard rules apply; basically, don't post unauthorized feeds and don't be a jackass. Also, no porn, no slurs, and DON'T BE STUPID.

when are we going to get the rest of 'best of iowa-psu' series?
Also, I have four tickets for today’s game an only three people going. So if any of you would like to come along with me and a pretty football-knowledgable friend and my wife, shoot me an email (address in profile). Our seats are on the ten yard line, row 12.
Hey final gun
I just sent you an e-mail regarding your fourth ticket inquiring about the price. let me know. thanks

I think USD would beat James Madison…and at least Minnesota didn’t completely fuck up the entire country’s best shot at beating Boise State…but yes Minnesota does indeed suck.
I picked Illinois to cover.
They are the jNW to OSU’s Iowa. Maybe not with the frequency, but nobody (inexplicably) plays the Buckeyes tougher with more regularity.

Quick rant.
Yes, Miami and Clemson have “names” but for all intents and purposes both are hollow shells of their former selves (and one might debate whet Clemson ever was given the BYU-esque anomalous nature of their greatness). They have been hyped for a few days on TWWL and are the AM lead today.
Again, I understand that, in theory, it’s the marquee match-up of the early games…but is it? The ACC’s contract with ESPN is unforgivable. It force-feeds the rest of the country the most embarrassingly bad BCS football league week-in week-out (I give the Big East a break because they suck due to situation, not incompetence).
This is the equivalent of ABC signing an exclusive deal to show Pittsburgh Pirates games.
End Rant.
Less memorable than Sam Okey's Hawkeye career.
I agree
ESPN sucks…but in all honesty where else are conferences supposed to sign tv deals? Having the Big Ten Network is a double edged sword in that it’s great to have your own network but it makes tWWL a competitor of the conference as a whole…and for as much as they suck…they have a lot of power in the sports world.
What the sports world needs is more legitimate competitors to tWWL’s throne…and the BTN continues to make strides but it still resembles more of a public access show with a lot of funding behind it than a legitimate network most of the time.
Because it has to be;
He’s so strong…and fast…and special…and average.

Reminds me of the game against Michigan
a few years back when a call basically cost us the game…and it was defensive holding on a punt…before the ball was kicked…one of the worst calls I’ve ever seen by a non-ConUSA official.
Did they show a replay of the Illinois defensive holding
on that blocked PAT?
BTN Tailgate was in Minny this week
and took several shots at Minnesota while on campus.
One of the ones I can remember was something regarding “Who says Minnesota doesn’t win very many bowl games?” Then they showed their all-world quiz bowl team…well done BTN…well done.
I'll be tailgating later...
did I miss the location of the unofficial Pants tailgate…or is it one of those “we swear we sent an invite…it must still be in the mail” type of deals.
Did anyone else hear
the announcers on ESPN say that when talking to Brewster, he said their goal on offense was to get 2 first downs per offensive possession? Seriously, not get at least a FG per possession, not score, just to try to get 2 first downs per possession. And he wonders why they’re already talking about who his replacement will be.
Would rather him say his real goal
GO.FIGHT.TRY
He can’t say that to the media, so 2 first downs per possession is pretty much the same thing

I should be cheering for OSU to lose
but…
1.) I hate Illinois worse
2.) Whether we like it or not…the Big Ten needs OSU to be good in order to get respect nationally
3.) If Iowa has any chance at the NCG we need to win out including one against an undefeated OSU in November
I'm with you on point 1
I fucking hate Illinois

Think of it this way
If the Illini win this one, there’s a chance the Zookster gets a new four-year contract and that means four more years of the Hawkeyes dominating the Illini on the field and in recruiting.

Im superstitious. I wore my favorite Hawkeye shirt and they lost to Arizona. Do I look nice when I go to the bar and watch game or do I wear the same ratty shorts and favorite shirt and sandals I wore all last year. (Last year the superstition was that I didn’t wash my favorite shirt)

T Pryor Reminds me
Of Michael Vick in ’06…
ANYONE ELSE SEE THIS?
He cannot PASS to save his life.
Go Hawks
His passing
has probably improved, but if we force him to try and beat him with his arm, I think Iowa stands a good chance.
Last year, tOSU’s offense against us WAS the run. Pryor did little to nothing on the pass.
While true
I thought Pryor really showed how much he has grown against us last year. Norm, as usual, gave them the short stuff and waited for him to get impatient and force something. But he never did that. He took what was given to him (one of the reasons I think jNW does so well against us; they’re fine with just taking 4-5 yards at a time all the way down the field). Will he do the same thing this year? Who knows, but lets hope not.
Northwestern
got tons of love for escaping Vanderbilt and Central Michigan. Never understood that…
Well they are JUST Northwestern.

Hey, Ross
When you say don’t be stupid, you mean us, right? Not the teams we’re watching?
It never gets to be easy
my wife has been talking with a door-to-door salesman for 30mins
he has leopard print fur on his jacket and sounds pretty fabulous.
thank god i let her have the tv and chose to watch espn3
My fiance is dress shopping
For a wedding dress with my mom. Ha.
'They are who we thought they were!'
every decision your fiancee/wife to be makes for the rest of your life is correct.
i’m sure you’re aware of this, but it’s especially important leading up to the wedding.
Ha ha ha
I’m slowly learning that. Yes honey. That’s great honey. Whatever you want honey.
I won the wedding location though – Punta Cana, Dominican Republic FTW!
'They are who we thought they were!'
Not really sure actually
But I wanted tropical and she consented.
'They are who we thought they were!'
yeah, well wait until she schedules the wedding the day of an Iowa game
Dear Diary, Kevin is so hot. Today he was raking the yard. God I wish he'd throw me into that pile of leaves.
It's in May
Luckily she’s an Iowa grad too (And IC native) so she likes watching almost as much as I do!
'They are who we thought they were!'
Good call on May
That’s what we ended up with for ours. Perfect weather, no major sporting events to miss (although ours was the same day as the Kentucky Derby…which I’ve never watched). Perfect time to do it really
Fuck that
I was adamant with my wife that we were NOT having a fall wedding. Granted, if we had done it, it would be during a bye week. But I love football too much, it was one of the only things I was set on. Pretty much every other decision was hers.
You see the stat
That MN is 2nd in the nation in time of possession this year?

Minnesota
can’t tackle worth shit. That was a sack and he blew right by him.
Does Dan Persa think he's Fran Tarkenton?
God Pat Fitzgerald is such a tool. Just coach a fucking football game. Quit acting like that guy on steroids from The Program.

LOL
Lattimer? Like that clip that was posted earlier this week here on BHGP?
I just hate
these games like jNW-Minn and the Minn-ISU bowl game last year. My hate is so strong for both teams, I don’t know which one to root against
He didn't get it.
Looks like Illinois gets another chance…

The first down overlay was way off there
BTN needs to work on that.

Minnesota Interception!
Wheeee suck that FITZ
Going, going, going, going, going, going, going, going.... Alright, I'll stop for now.
Why
can’t we get turnovers off of jNW? They seem to have seemingly perfect games against us, while we inevitably fuck it up.
The review was so fast
a conspiracy-minded person might think that they didn’t even look at it.
by Brock Sampson on Oct 2, 2010 1:28 PM CDT up reply actions
They didn't!
And the moon landing was staged! And there was a 2nd gunman on the grassy knoll!
/conspiracy theory’d
They really are fat
This is the first chance I have had to really watch a Minny game and I thought you guys were just blowing it out of proportion. I shall not doubt you again

defense holding?

Illinois down 7
8 minutes to go. With the ball.
Anyone think they can tie it up? Anyone? Bueller?

I didn't think jNW would show up today
They’ve definitely shown up in a big way.
A Voice From Kinnick - A Hawkeye Blog
Can you imagine how many rushing yards Minny would have
if the rusher didn’t keep running up the back of his blocker?
It never gets to be easy
We're going to lose to Minnesota this season
and by lose, I mean give up some points.
And the refs even got that one right
Receiver definitely pushed OB, allowed to come back in.

I dont get BTN
Whats the situation?
by 6 seconds of hell on Oct 2, 2010 1:37 PM CDT up reply actions
So Minnesota's beating jNW
and Illinois is playing it tough against tOSU.
Is that good for Iowa going down the season, or is it a sign of things to come today, with teams that shouldn’t be winning, either winning or having a shot?
Damn it IL
Yeah, cause a FG here is gonna do a lot for you. Assholes.
'They are who we thought they were!'
Northwestern fans were excited to be on national TV
Way to put on a show.
A Voice From Kinnick - A Hawkeye Blog
ESPN
doing a great job by not showing where exactly that Minnesota penalty was…
I think it's a little wrong
to single out one unit on that shitshow of a defense as being putrid. Equal time, please
Seriously, that FG by Illinois pisses me off.
You still need a TD! You were at the 16 yard line! Just go for it!
Guh…
'They are who we thought they were!'
Just joined, maybe somebody's already pointed this out...
Popular picks in the betting thread this week:
Ohio State -17
JNW -5.5
Makes me worried that Iowa -7 was also popular.
I voted the Michigan-Indiana over, too
I still can’t believe that didn’t get more support. And I still can’t believe jNW got so much support. I know Minnesota sucks, but has jNW actually covered the spread in any of their wins yet this year?
Way to pack that stadium Goofers
I’m sorry, but Minnesota just has the ugliest people on earth.
A Voice From Kinnick - A Hawkeye Blog
jNW
has to be the luckiest team in the world.
Well…outside of a bowl game.
tOSU
Is going to make this game a lot better than it really was.
But Big Ten announcers are not too smart, apparently. 4 + 7 = 10 point lead, apparently.
Persa is making Minny's d-line look hilarious
They’re just diving left and right trying to catch him.
A Voice From Kinnick - A Hawkeye Blog
How the F
Does Scheelhaase get hardest working player of the game? He has less than 80 yards passing!
'They are who we thought they were!'
IL and MN both gonna blow
games they could have had. Zook and Brew at their finest.
'They are who we thought they were!'
Angle gets shallower further back.
Idiotic that Brewster didn’t take the timeout to save the 20 seconds and stop them from moving back, though.
by TrueAndValiant on Oct 2, 2010 2:01 PM CDT up reply actions
But they could just take the penalty after the time out. Its a never ending loop. Thats why they don't decline it
by 6 seconds of hell on Oct 2, 2010 2:02 PM CDT up reply actions
If you decline it once
it’s obvious you will keep declining it. Which is why they would run the play eventually
but if you delay it again then its obvious that you will just keep doing it and they will accept it eventually
by 6 seconds of hell on Oct 2, 2010 2:04 PM CDT up reply actions
Now I'm imagining the greatest coaching battle ever
Brew declines the penalty
Fitzy lets clock run out again
Brew declines the penalty
Fitzy lets clock run out again
Brew declines the penalty
Fitzy lets clock run out again
Brew declines the penalty
Fitzy lets clock run out again

Finally, at 6:30 PM, Delaney shows up on the field, sucker punches both coaches and calls the game over, so as not to interrupt the airing of the Penn State-Iowa game.
Yeah, I get it now
I don’t know why they went up to the line of scrimmage, though. I guess to distract Minny from calling the TO?
by Brock Sampson on Oct 2, 2010 2:02 PM CDT up reply actions
Well, at least Illinoi covered
I hope tOSU plaus like that in Kinnick.
Announcer
was about to shit his pants when Northwestern wasn’t calling the play.
As for Minny…not taking the TO could work, but only if you believe you can move down the field with 2 minutes.
Which actually, is probably as likely for the Gophers as if they did it with 3 minutes.
What the hell just happened?
He nearly Kellen Lewised that KO…
Weber will either throw a pick
or there will be a fumble.
Northwestern will win a close one. Again.
So far, Minnesota not doing too well. Wouldn’t be surprised if they turnover on downs right here!
HA HA HA HA!!
MINNESOTA THROWING THIS ONE AWAY!!!
A FUCKING DRAW PLAY?!?!?!?!?!?
hahaha, oh man, this is too much FAIL for one game.
No way they convert
4th and 5 or whatever it’s gonna be.
That was pretty sneaky
Although you had to suspect something when they went I-formation needing 5 yards.
by Brock Sampson on Oct 2, 2010 2:05 PM CDT up reply actions
Wow
I honestly thought they ran that. Mostly because that wouldn’t surprise me from Brewster.
True
If it was anyone else on the sideline jNWU never would have fallen for it.
by Brock Sampson on Oct 2, 2010 2:06 PM CDT up reply actions
Why do they keep running the ball?
It worked before, but…
*sigh*
Gophers… you suck.
Going, going, going, going, going, going, going, going.... Alright, I'll stop for now.
If so, I need to change religions
Buddah’s surely a Hawkeye fan, right?
Jesus
What a shitshow MN is. I would have taken that back for a TD if I was NW.
'They are who we thought they were!'
It had great gambling interest
Wonder if HFMR had either side of this one?
by Brock Sampson on Oct 2, 2010 2:12 PM CDT up reply actions
I believe the poll winner was tOSU - 17
Which means another $5 down the drain for HFMR.
Nope- Northwestern are nerds
They knew if they run it back, Minnesota gets another chance since it’s only an eight point game
Wow.
I’m actually disappointed that Minnesota lost. Who knew?

'Thriller' is a bit of a strong word for this game.
More like trainwreck.

Oh wait, that’s just the water heater making that noise.

"Thriller?" Really? That's not the adjective I would've chosen for that shitstorm.
"Your shit's weak! Shit's weak!"
I'm more upset
because Northwestern won this like they usually do.

Minnesota
actually played okay during parts of that game. Got their run game moving, but then tried to go back to the run in the 2 minute drill….and it failed miserably. Then the FBS’s ‘most experienced QB’ proceeded to throw some 3 or 4 incomplete passes…
If they could tackle
but they can’t

Be afraid. Be very afraid.
Well gents
I’m off to IC to cheer on the Hawks in person. Look for me on TV. I’ll be the guy in a yellow shirt.
I wish Iowa-Penn State was a 2:30 game
These afternoon games are pretty ho-hum, we’d get a lot of eyeballs. Tonight we are going to be up against Bama-Florida and Oregon-Stanford. Bad job by ABC/ESPN. Also, what’s the deal with Michigan-Indiana being on ESPNU? They want to ensure nobody can watch it?
re: Michigan/Indiana
I wholeheartedly agree! The scoring potential for this game is through the roof. It’d be like watching a basketball game… maybe?
Going, going, going, going, going, going, going, going.... Alright, I'll stop for now.

Texas bounces back big time and plays well against OU?

They don't even have to bounce back

These are not great teams. Shockingly, with the exception of Herbstreit, the talking heads aren’t acknowledging it.
