Give me a recipe for those
and I’ll make them, no joke. 2nd attempt at lomo saltado (lat night) was a rousing success.

Eliades going down is horrible.
Here’s our depth chart now:
T – Scarecrow. Has tremendous wingspan. That’s about it.
G – Banana peel. Is actually still on the team. Gets called for lots of penalties.
C – Doug Klopacz.
G – Stefen Wisniewski.
T – Bloodhound. Has good foot speed, but is weak against the bull rush.
I blame the students for stink bugs, Iowa, and Ishtar.

Interestingly, this line would only give up 2 sacks to Alabama (Original line gave up none).

Or that Nick Saban just leaves a life-sized model of himself on the sidelines
so he can gain an additional advantage by actually recruiting during Alabama games.

No way we can pull off the color coordination
And that awful, uncoordinated mess will impact the gameplay when the players look up into the stands and see pockets of unshaven men in carharts and camo in the midst of an all-gold section.
It’s over already.
i'm glad i'm not the only one pissed about the lack of coordination ability at Iowa

If you look around the stands
you will find there is an inverse proportion between how much someone paid for tickets and how likely they are to go along with something like this.
The bluebloods are too important to color coordinate.
Brunettes not fighter jets
Or cheer on 3rd down, or do the wave before the 12th time it comes their way, or ...
Brunettes not fighter jets
Hey, now.
I’m a hell of a rabble-rousing fan (I was “that guy” at the Ball State game who just wouldn’t sit down, because he didn’t want to get a wet ass on the bleachers, and because it’s a goddamn football game, and people cheer at those), but fuck the wave. And the Panchero’s Burrito Lift. Fuck that too.

Is Norm being out what is causing our special teams to not be as special as previous years?
The defense still seems on top of their game.
My concern
My concern is that the Kirk Ferentz Game Management Plan might not cover the -7
I cant possibly take those points as who in their right mind would bet Penn St over Iowa
Two of my bigger wins each of the last two yearshas been this series, but I feel like we should have all played this at -3 over the summer
So, my concern is our procrastination as now the price is a bit more expensive. Still, I see a double digit Hawkeye win.

The Penn State offensive line! (Turnstile and banana peel are out of eligibility!)

Karma sucks.
Black and gold striped Kinnick totally lacks feng shui. Plus Norm Parker’s dead toes has sucked Kinnick’s Chi and there is only so much KOK’s bagua can do.
"Have you ever had the Hot Pocket Hot Pocket? It’s Hot Pocket inside a Hot Pocket. Tastes just like a Hot Pocket."
FWIW, I’m pretty sure the horizontal stripey thing is going to be a massive failure. If the athletic dept tries something that turns out to not look like something they tried, is it really something they tried? I think not. Karma is therefore a double negative, hence, a positive for the good guys. My mind cannot be changed.
Is that Zombie JoePa in the photo...or the real one?
I’m confused.

I voted Royster
but I am really concerned that we have too conservative of a game plan. I want to come at these guys like we did Iows State…torching the notion of putting 8 in the box.
"I wish you luck with a capital 'F'" - The Real Elvis.
We should put 12 in the box. Just WATCH them try to run against that.
and with 7 in the secondary, their passing game is screwed.
Better put 9 in the secondary just to be safe
we don’t want another 79 yard bomb on the first play again.

9 is in the secondary.
His name is Tyler Motherfucking Sash.
I'm gonna give her my "D" face. Deeeee, deeee, deeee!
---Norm Parker
Why only 19 guys in?
We should have all 22 starting players out there, along with the kick specialists. 24+ guys. That’s how we’ll stop their unstoppable offense.
I don't think we usually put 8 in the box.
I can think of the exception in 2008 against Ohio State when Tressel started Pryor instead of Boeckman (Who had torched us the year before).

not to worry
JoPa has to have is brains blended to “pudding” consistency or he chokes on them. He won’t just go after random fans.

I went with superstition.
The Iowa fan in me will not allow me to feel good about being favored over a ranked Penn State.
I am thinking hand warmers play into this
If JoePa refuses the warmers then Bolden’s creamy soft hands will be majorly chapped by the second quarter. Then Daniels will step on his neck like a Sunday dinner chicken.

It may have been a reference to the 08 game...
…when a bunch of Penn Staters were complaining that there were no heaters on the PSU sideline, and that this was why they lost.

On a side note – I’m getting an awful premonition we are going to lose to Indiana. Can the people smarter than me explain this?

And in case that sounded too harsh
I too will have The Fear (yes it’s capitalized) for Indiana when that game comes around because I get The Fear for every game. But I try to only stress about the game at hand. I think if I spent the entire season worrying about all the upcoming games I would probably be reduced to cowering in the fetal position by Week 2. Like chitownhawkeye said above, one game at a time.
by HawkeyeInExile on Sep 30, 2010 6:56 PM CDT up reply actions
Harsh? This is a football board, no?
So go fuck yourself balls deep (you would have to be the first).
Indiana is a classic trap game. We almost fell in the trap last year. But for some unbelievable luck and some calls we were toast. Just saying we have no problem getting “up” for most of the conference games. Indiana may suck but they are D1 athletes. Hope it’s a blow out but I fear it could be a knife fight by the end of the game.

Meh
I’m sure after Arizona and every game last year, Iowa’s coaching staff (and every damn player on the team) is on major upset alert every. Single. Game. Hell, that might lead to some burials on the scoreboard, which would be an exciting improvement over last year.
I'm gonna give her my "D" face. Deeeee, deeee, deeee!
---Norm Parker
Honestly
We’re probably only having this conversation because Indiana is 3-0. Have patience. They’re still Indiana. They didn’t magically become a powerhouse overnight. I still think they finish 6-6. But that’s just my humble opinion.
And yes, I know it’s a football board, but I still try not to be a dick. I felt a little guilty basically calling you an r-tard for your fear of the Hoosiers when I (and probably most people on hear) sweat through every game. Because every game is a trap game. But I guess you too can go fuck yourself balls deep or whatever the kids are saying these days.
That being said worrying about Indiana is like worrying about getting your fingers caught in the “trap” that is a set of Chinese fingercuffs when you should be worried about the fucking bear trap around your leg that is the imminent arrival of a Penn St team looking to exact revenge for a series of season deflating upsets. So excuse me if I reserve the majority of my anxiety for teams that actually don’t suck ass.
