"I wish you luck with a capital 'F'" - The Real Elvis.
So,
Wiscy has had the ball for 22 minutes. The only guy who can run the ball for TCU is the QB. If Wiscy cleans up its pass coverage this is a wipeout.
We play tackle football, most of the time.
Wisconsin has taken some very questionable angles today and
acted like a PA fake is new to football.

Too early to go for 2.

I can hear Musberger now
“And Bielema elects to punt instead of kicking the extra point. Oh, boy, what do you think, Herby?”
“I wouldn’t do it, but that’s just Bielema’s coaching style. He’s an aggressive guy coaching an aggressive team.”

It's weird. They're willing to stuff it down tOSU's throat, but this little mid-major team? They throw.

by Norm Parker's Amputated Toes on Jan 1, 2011 5:58 PM CST up reply actions
Reasonably true.
But TCU’s backers are slicing in behind the wash and cleaning up before the OL can get to the 2nd level. They’re taking away the trap game, which leaves Wisco vulnerable on the ground. Their passing game is what’s keeping them alive right now.

Correct.
Line up in the I/offset and smash away. I don’t see how TCU would last long with Bucky doing that for about 12 straight plays (with a PA mixed in for good measure).

I think TCU is actually good.
But Wisco is making some strange decisions.

Nope.
Still, going undefeated does mean something, no matter what conference you are in.
When I grow up I wanna be like Koeppel Knievel
absolutely
but it means more in the MWC than the WAC or CUSA, etc. TCU would have won the Big East easily this year
Yeah, of course they're good
but they look completely overmatched physically and Wisconsin has missed a FG and is calling a wierd game, and on defense they’re doing that thing we all too well, playing soft outside and letting a good QB get confidence.
"I wish you luck with a capital 'F'" - The Real Elvis.
Maybe today will kill the Legends / Leaders fiasco
"I wish you luck with a capital 'F'" - The Real Elvis.
TCU is a good team
But Wisconsin is shitting the bed. I’m sure ESPN will have a 60 minute special devoted to “The Fall of the Big Ten”. Wait, I forgot it’s called Sportscenter.
I think the Patterson
has a pretty good game plan to beat wisconsin. Except for the fact that they must not know how to defend a fake punt either.
When I grow up I wanna be like Koeppel Knievel
It's like watching KOK call plays. We're killing them on the ground. So we throw.

The wide run plays are stupid...it is the only thing they can stop
"I wish you luck with a capital 'F'" - The Real Elvis.
TCU seems to be able to defend it pretty well
they should get away from it and run up the gut like they just did.

Just wanted to expand on what I said about Meyer’s “moronic” coaching decision – simply because I think it’s one of the dumbest I’ve seen in a while, especially from a genius.
4th and 3 at his own 30 in the second quarter. Penn State was leading by one score and was doing nothing with the football. McGloin was shaky. Florida’s defense was stable. He goes for the fake punt and gets stuffed. Mind you, Penn State’s guys look in the backfield unlike Iowa’s (sigh) guys.

But they wouldn’t have beaten them, and maybe not even OSU. They may go to the Big East, but they’ll start dropping conference games when they do.

Yes, but they'll still win the conference
They can lose one or two conference games a year and still go to BCS games every year. That’s why they did it.
BCS games I can handle...
…especially since they will have to play quality opponents year in and out that way.
But I think they may find it tough to do that, even in the Big Least. They’ll have to travel big-time, and this team is losing a shit-load of seniors.
What’ll piss me off is if they keep making champ games playing crap teams in conference, so I hope the Big East gets a little better real soon.

Yep.
Not to defend them or anything but they did what 7 other BIg 10 teams couldn’t.

Beat Wisconsin?
Paul Chryst didn’t do ecstasy during the regular season either.
So what if I tailgate to the NPR jazz station?
Haha.
That’s all I’m going to say about that. But it is just one game. I agree that they would be in for a rude awakening playing a full Big 10 slate.

TSU is a great team.
I see that. But I don’t see them going thru this Big Ten season undefeated. I so wish TCU had joined the Big 12 instead of the Big East, to get a taste of what a real conference schedule is like.
"Apparently, riding Joe Paterno like a small horse is FROWNED UPON IN THIS ESTABLISHMENT!"
Oh for sure.
But with the move to the Big East they are going to be scary(er) down the road.

As a PSU fan, I've never cared much for the Rose Bowl.
And yet it is frustrating to watch our conference just give it away.

Year after year.
At least OSU beat a Pac-10 team last year, but to watch us send Illinois against USC was really tough.

HOLY CRAP
Look what I found in the MGOBLOG comments:
I wanted that win because I thought RR deserved a chance at a fourth year. Seeing that, though, convinced me that he isn’t the answer. What’s the point of having the 6th rated offense if the points aren’t scored against a single “good” team?
"Lenny Moore gets the ball and Lightning Len lights out like a frightened fox in a forest fire!"
Wait, what?
Now they’re blaming their loss on the rest of the conference sucking?
It never gets to be easy.

How many did they score against WI, MSU, and OSU?
OR in the second half against PSU for that matter?
Spread was 2.5-3 for TCU
So if you bet on Wisconsin you were actually hoping they wouldn’t get that 2 pt conversion.
Musburger just referred to Stoops and Edsall
as “two fine coaches”. Just once, I’d love for an announcer to say, that guy is a great coach, the other one is a complete douche.
I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.
Bielema should have saved the 2-Point Conversion from the Minnesota Game for the Rose Bowl.

Yep, he went to the 2-point conversion well once too often.
"Apparently, riding Joe Paterno like a small horse is FROWNED UPON IN THIS ESTABLISHMENT!"
Shame, isn't it?
He did help get rid of Brewster, though.
Everyone fails. The successful learn from their failures. I just wish we'd quit giving ourselves so many learning opportunities.

Funny how make-able FG’s are never missed in blow-outs, it seems.
Kicking is a mental, funny thing.

Fucking up the clock at the end of the first half also looms large.
They didn’t even give themselves a chance to go for a TD there.

My cousin (Nebraska fan) just said the runnning the ball too much cost Wisconsin
If someone knows how to strangle someone through a text, let me know.
Nebraska fans
think Nebraska is the only one that can run the ball and be effective with it no matter if they get 2 yards or 200 yds a game. Seriously. My friend I mentioned a couple of days ago said Greene woulda been 3rd string at Nebby.

but his argument was “the Big 10 doesn’t play rushing D” and I said, I don’t pretend to know about the Big 12 so don’t pretend to know about the Big 10.

on the bright side
as iowa fans, we can basically sit outside and watch all the other teams burn because we are the most solid bowl team in the big ten

JoePa: 24-12-1
If JoePa played Iowa in a bowl, the final would be 6-6. Three safeties.
Now I’ll leave.

What's his record since joining the Big Ten?
Honest question, not meaning to demean the 80 years he coached as an independent.
Just to remind people:
We beat a 10-2 team that was ranked #12 in the nation, and had beaten #1 OU at one point in the season.
Even if OSU wins, I might still call ours the more impressive feat.
"Apparently, riding Joe Paterno like a small horse is FROWNED UPON IN THIS ESTABLISHMENT!"
Had more people watched our game
it would seem pretty impressive. But if you’re not familiar with Missouri and haven’t seen Gabbert play it’d be pretty easy to write them off as an overrated team. That’s my guess anyway.
McShay
i know he’s thinking “Thank God the one player I know from TCU got player of the game.”

Uh, probably because the Big Ten has never been able to lose five games in one day, because people had enough good sense to not try and play every bowl game in one day. Just saying. Yeah, it was a shitty day.

The other shitty part is that
Now that my picks are ruined I have no rooting interest in the NCG. I could care less and actually can’t stand that either of these teams are in it. Is there a replay of the Iowa game on anywhere?
