The Aughts in Review: Wildcat Scratch Fever

For Iowa it is like win streak kryptonite or something.

I would banhammer you for incessant trolling, but it’s better to remind you that just Northwestern is neither North nor Western.

Your school’s name is as retarded as your graduates.

…what happened in 2002? How many big games has jNWU won since then? I’m already planning to Lake The Posts next year (jNWU doesn’t have a dome). Maybe we could just “Lake” the whole stadium and call it a jNWU win due to a lack of further embarassment.

The nudj is back again! Let me cue up the music for this guy.

November 13 cannot come soon enough for me. I am now imagining the 45,000 Iowa fans in attendance storming the field and repeating this little episode. Normally I don’t approve of this kind of treatment of a visitor’s field; however, in this case, I am willing to make an exception.

Yes, I know you beat us again in 2009, and congratulations for that. I’m not going to get into a pissing match with you similar to what happened in 2008. Enjoy the spoils of your post-season, and still being justNorthwestern.

You’re talking ’bout points
So normal of Northwestern
Ask Ken and Dewey

Bellanca is hidden away in his specially made Iowa tupperware. It keeps him fresh you know, so he’s ready the next time somebody needs to blogwar with Brian

All four losses in the 00s sucked. 05 was just “how the fuck did this happen?”, 06 was the lowpoint of the “fat cats” era, 08 was just “how the fuck did this happen? II”, 09 was ANKLOCALYPSE NOW.

Personally, the 09 loss bothers me less than the others for a few reasons:

1) It’s impossible to feel any shock about losing to them right now.
2) I never thought we were going undefeated (I was never convinced we were going to beat OSU, and if that’s the case, the jNWU loss is moot — Rose Bowl dreams and even pie-in-the-sky nat’l title game hops were pointless).
3) The Orange Bowl win healed a lot of wounds.

But different strokes and all that jazz.

…I’d be happy to lend a hand.

I say put Vandenberg in so we kick their asses and then we get to see more of his hawt mom

I honestly thought — and didn’t go to the hospital until Monday morning — that it was all related to our “play” against WMU. I figured, reasonably enough, that’s what was making me violently ill. Sometime Monday morning I figured that the loss should have gotten out of my system by then. Had the appy yanked a few hours later.

Absolutely joyful for Purdue fans. jNU would’ve gone to the Rose Bowl, if Iowa lost that game.

If Purdue hadn’t lost to MSU hours later, I wouldn’t’ve gotten to hear all the radio show callers in so disappointed that 3 touchdown underdog iu couldn’t pull off the unexpected as expected.

that we all waste a lot of time and space on the blog.

But I don’t think it was Homecoming — it was actually Senior Day and the last home game of the year.

“Serenity now, serenity now.” PSU has like, four or five total assholes (almost all on ESPN.com) who make their otherwise knowledgeable and respectful fanbase look horrible. They are not unlike Iowa in that respect. Let go and focus your hate on jNWU, Minnesota and tOSU and avoid becoming like one of the aforementioned douche-o-matics.

had blogging been a more widely-used medium during Lloyd Carr’s reign of terror over John Cooper-tire-fire, I’m sure Buckeyes fans would have been genuflecting to U of M in as many ways possible. But, alas, we Iowa fans don’t posses the buttoned-up sobriety, sanity and sense of propriety that supporters of tOSU do. Please allow this rabble that dabbles in a bit of self-deprecating babble (see what I did there?), to have their fun with a hated and grudgingly-respected (OK, not really) rival. Don’t sully your dignity by forcing yourself to read these inane and ranting posts/responses. Plus, don’t you have a basketball team to be watching?
