A week ago, the possibility of Fitzgerald's Sith mind tricks caused you the most fear, which probably explains why he spent so much time on the field casting spells last Saturday. Or it's because officials have forgotten you can penalize coaches for that. Anyway. So that won and shit happened and yada yada yada. Let's just move on to this week.
There are always plenty of real things to fear about an upcoming opponent and with Ohio State that list basically quadruples, since you have one of the Big Ten's best coaches leading the most talented team in the conference on the road (where they typically play incredibly well) in November (where, again, they typically play incredibly well) in a big game (where, yet again, they typically play incredibly well -- so long as they aren't playing an SEC team). And on the other side you have an Iowa team coming off yet another gut-wrenching loss to Northwestern. So that's not so good. But fuck all that. Tell us what really scares you now.

I would actually be content with a loss if Sash knocked out that destestable little cracker Dame Judydencher with a right hook.

Can't... resist... trolling....
Iowa has now lost 6 times to a Fitz-led NU team. Iowa is 2-3 in following games, with wins over Wisconsin in ’95 and ’96.
Coaching only.
Don’t you all need to be working on your erudite Gameday signs?

"Northwestern: Winning in the Postseason More Recently than Cubs"
by nuftw on Nov 18, 2010 2:54 PM CST up reply actions 1 recs
Actually
that’s not true. The Cubs won a playoff series a couple of years ago (divisional series) and made it to the NLCS. Then Bartman happened.
So, in fact, Northwestern football is less successful in the postseason than the Cubs. How does that make you feel?
I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.
Has jNW ever won a bowl game?
Maybe it’s the NCAA tournament berth that I’m thinking of.

The 1949 Rose Bowl is their one and only moment of postseason glory.

You mean to tell me that wasn't a playoff game last weekend for jNW
I thought they just won the Superbowl…well fuck…now what are they gonna hang their hats on.
That might be it
jNW has never been to the NCAA hoopyball tournament. Adding insult to injury? They hosted the first NCAA tourney
I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.
I'm pretty sure Fitz didn't lead that game.
He was busy being hurt too bad.

Please win
You owe the Spartans a victory in this. It’s the least you can do for abusing us at Kinnick like that.

The offensive line was inspired by McGloin.

We shall see.
I find it a little unnerving that we will know absolutely nothing about McGloin going in. He carved up Michigan, which makes him better than Purdue’s fourth-string QB in a monsoon, for whatever that’s worth. He had one good half against Northwestern, which makes him exactly like every QB NW has ever faced. He showed flashes of solid play in Columbus before the wheels came off. And making Indiana’s defense look awful is so easy a caveman could do it.

Because there aren't enough computer rankings already.
Which means the Iowa offense isn't even good enough to be cavemen.
Sigh.

I'm pretty sure karma and Iowa both owe nothing to Michigan State or Chris L. Rucker.

Chris L. Rucker?
No reason to bring him into this, especially since the Iowa football program is living in the biggest glass house when it comes to football players’ legal infractions.
I came over here to talk politely about some football, but I you don’t have it in you to do that without taking shots. Go on though, indulge yourselves. You rival Michigan for amount of arrogance vs lack of relevance.
See you on the hardwood!
I’m not sure if should be an Iowa fan or a Penn State fan here. I guess I’ll go with PSU fan if Jacobi bans me.

I love that you're flaming on Iowa fans because of the reactions of PSU fans
Nice generalizations. And no, we don’t owe you anything. I’m also not sure how irrelevant we are when our winning could send you to the Rose Bowl.
Typical MSU fan response
Ignore the fact that your team allowed Ruckergate to happen…then accuse the Iowa program of
the biggest glass house when it comes to football players’ legal infractions
When we’ve kicked players off the team…star players who Rucker couldn’t hold a candle to (see Sapp, Benny)…for infractions that Dantonio would punish with a mother fucking high-five…hell yeah.
Go on to compare us to Michigan (little brother syndrome anyone?)…blah blah blah arrogance…blah blah blah lack of relevance (we get it…you’re an idiot) and then…wait for it…wait for it…reference basketball in a football discussion…well played…didn’t see it coming.

Please don't assume idiots like this speak for all of us.

I know you're good people Dan
I just felt like ranting for a minute…
and Benny Sapp with an interception that is going to get overturned. For some reason hearing Joe Theisman call this game reminds me of American Gladiators…back when it was still really fucking cool.
For the record...
a lot of people really hated that Rucker came right back. I lost a bit of respect for Dantonio when he decided that. His spin of the entire situation in his press conference after Rucker was back didn’t help, either.
The fact is, EVERY team has shit like this happen. Iowa, MSU, Michigan, everyone. No one has completely flawless players. Even Tom Izzo, reknowned for running the cleanest, most disciplined basketball program at the DI-A level, had to deal with one of our players getting a DUI this summer.
So yeah, Dan said it best — don’t let the idiots speak for all of us. Honestly, I’m rooting hard for you guys this weekend and have for a long time. Last year’s game with Vandenburg was by and large the best game I watched all season. Iowa has become my second team and I pretty much root for you guys any week you aren’t playing MSU.
Though, I do have to say, thanks for losing to jNW to help us out! ;-)

I can't remember
what were the reprecussions from that? I’m thinking it was a team-imposed 1 game suspension but I cannot remember. Also…did the Big Ten investigate it? I just can’t remember the Big Ten ever stepping and imposing penalities for on-field activities…or even needing to. Well…maybe Kingsbury should have been suspended for one of the Krispin brothers…but then again…didn’t we all want to punch at least one of them?
Yeah, I think it was a one game suspension. He came back in time for Ohio State's big game with Iowa.
Whatever.
Anyway, the Crispin brothers? I absolutely wanted to punch Jon in the face. I still want to punch him in the face. Joe was cool, if overrated, but Jon was just a cheap impersonation of Joe. My worst memory of Jon Crispin comes from a 2001 second round NCAA game when Penn State upset legendary Matt Doherty’s Tar Heels. Penn State forced a turnover and the ball went to Jon, who instead of, like, running towards the basket, stopped and shot an airball – thankfully it was caught by Joe who took it for a lay up. Typical. After Joe graduated, Jon saw the upcoming Penn State basketball apocalypse and bravely ran away to UCLA where he did not play at all.
So now he’s a BTN announcer!

two simple things...
1. Fitzgerald owns our asses the week of and after…. oh and he is very intense about it.
2. Our corners are in trouble again… (will they ever be good?)
in saying that… Hawks win 24 – 17.
- Davey Dave
I'm not sure our corners are what we need to worry about in this one
Ohio State is not the type of passing attack that is going to dink and dunk underneath a lot…and Pryor is not the type of QB to allow a conservative coach like Tressel the luxury of changing up his passing attack to exploit the perceived weaknesses of a defense. Pryor just isn’t accurate enough. Ohio St once had an offense with Troy Smith and 3 pro wide receivers that was capable of beating us that way (if you remember it was the comparatively unheralded Gonzalez who torched us and not Ginn or Holmes)…but this Ohio St offense just doesn’t have that…at the QB position anyway and the however good the WRs may be…I don’t know if we’ll see another trio as good as GHG for a long time in college football.
Since Pryor has been there…the OSU offense has been pound the rock with very good RBs and drop Pryor back to wait for something big to open up downfield…when all hell breaks loose…run for it.
In summation…I just don’t think our CBs are going to be tested like they have been the last couple of weeks because we have two very good safeties to give them help over the top and those safeties should be present all day in deep coverage. I do think that our linebackers are going to need to show up in run support though because last year showed what OSU’s running game can do to a LB corp that is not up to snuff. Fortunately…I think that plays right into the hands of our linebacking corp because they’d much rather spend all day coming up to stop the run than dropping back in pass coverage. Don’t get me wrong…it’s going to be a serious challenge to stop their run…it’s just that with this defense I like the style of play that we’re matching up against.
Final Score - tOSU 40 Iowa 13 :(
Guess what?! I got a fever, and the only prescription...is more cowbell!!
Flyover scheduled for the game.
Now if we can just get them to strafe and bomb tOSU.

Fuck ohio state my only fear for the game is to send those bukeye bitches back to ohio crying after we beat them. Let’s remember big dick rick stanzi is from ohio and he will have a heisman type game against them for not recruiting him.

As long as....
We don’t run the stretch run 30% of the time and pass more on first down we can win this. I live in Ohio and I really want to go to work on Monday with some swagger.
