Biggest argument was over playing McCall in the red zone.

Which seems like a decent thing to discuss.

The second half was an improvement on all fronts compared to parts of the first, which would have made even Gandhi drop an f-bomb or three.

With the NCAA, it's never guaranteed.

Beutjer got a medical redshirt when he had no medical problem. Case Keenum gets one for a supposed HS injury that lingered into college, even when no one hardly mentioned it until the day he sent in his form.

Then someone else gets denied for no reason at all. I’d never assume anything with the NCAA.

Now, I’m in Shanghai where they don’t have Thanksgiving, and it’s 77* and humid, alone, and 14 hours ahead meaning that if I want to watch the game live, I have to talk a “western” sports bar that is really a non-American sports bar, to stay open in the wee hours of the night.

For the most part.

I think I have the inside track on a job, which is good. One of the reasons I came here was because this is an employee’s market. After getting shut down so much over the summer, I do not want to go through countless interviews again.

Kids love me. I like kids. Except they stare at my still-healing nose from where a dog bit off the tip right before I came out. Supposedly, as “westerners” (I think white (or black) must be implied – a SE Asian westerner wouldn’t get the same treatment – not sure about Hispanics, anywho…) we can go to the best clubs and drink for a very low price. Like… bottomless, mid-level scotch for 10 RMB, or $1.60. The two guys teaching us our TEFL certificate course have both been here five years and are under 30. Both have Asian gf’s. Pretty much know the way around.

I thought about slingbox right before I left but decided against it. But right now, I’m really wishing I had one. Especially with the basketball team being exciting. Plus, if you teach at a private place (not in a traditional school) you teach from 5-8, perfect for night-time CST, morning CST* sporting viewing.

So in terms of best QB-RB-WR trios in the Big10

It has to be between Wisconsin and Iowa, right?

QB: Russel is better than Vandy
RB: Ball is slightly better than Coker
WR: McNutt is way better than Toon

So I guess Wisconsin has it, but maybe not by a huge margin.

by geraldfleck on Nov 19, 2011 3:39 PM CST reply actions  

agreed.

although I don’t think our line is by any means bad. And also if we had wilson they couldn’t commit 8 in the box quite as often.

If Vandenberg wouldn't panic on a blitz so much

I really think Coker’s totals might be even higher; teams wouldn’t blitz if they knew Vandy would make them pay for it.

If he can ever learn to throw the roll-out and play actions consistently – or improve dramatically next year – Coker is going to put up some all world numbers next season.

The thing that’s so striking is we don’t have a bad team, we have a team that if the defense had just been a little better I think we’d be sitting at 8-3 or better right now.

But I just want to note two things. One topical, one not. First of all no one has really came out to defend JoePa either. He was always known as a coach who ran his program the right way and really developed young men but we just don’t see people making many statements in support of him right now as if they are afraid of being labeled as sympathizers.

Aw thanks

I’m a geeky guy. I am compelled to do so. I enjoy your comments as well.

On the other, I think the PSU fan base wants to believe that Joe Pa was just a naive old man, but I think its starting to sink in now that maybe he wasn’t, and its not worth getting new orifices being ripped into your collective hide defending someone who did not “do the right thing” in a most heinous way.

Plus, the part that’s even more mystifying… if Paterno on that campus was “like God” then are there other skeletons buried that are even worse? I mean, bad enough that they would hide a pedophile for fear that even worse stuff would be exposed?

I have a friend that's REALLY into college football

His son played a couple of seasons at Div III, he’s got ties to bowl game committees, and he thinks it would be hilarious if Penn State hired Tressel and recruited Ohio heavily. Not going to happen, but he does have a twisted sense of humor and he feels none of the college coaching profession are angels…

The Paterno family has made more than enough money from PSU

And I suspect most of the staff will land jobs elsewhere if they’re competent…

Although I would be very surprised if any them are hired any higher than the high school level, and the background check is going to be the equivalent of a body cavity search without lube – would you hire any of these people if you were an AD ? They’re radioactive.

notes from Iowa Wrestling

125,133,141,157,165,174, and heavyweight are looking great starter wise. 157 especially has 4 guys in the semifinals, which is fantastic

149 is looking muddled. Carew is hurt i think, J. Ballweg lost via Major, and the guy who majored him was pinned by Grothus so………who knows whats happenin there anymore

184: This Fahler kid ive never heard of from Iowa is looking fantastic, better than expected for sure

197. Lira is making a run in the consolations. i want a Fahler vs Lira for 197 match, just to see who would win

I’m with you. At this point of the season, why does the how matter? Vandy got a win on the road, looked horrible only when put into a moronic play from his own 1, and both the OL and DL looked competent.

It will be about big plays and who gets more.

Iowa was giving all the big plays away in the first half of this game and somehow managed to stay on top score wise. The second half purdue just had crushing turn overs. If that happens next week Iowa has a chance.

They were the favorites by the END of the spring (after the BTN & tWWL hype trains came through town)

But early in the spring I remember everyone making fun of the Nebby fans who thought they’d walk to the title their first year.

Everyone should have stuck with their gut feeling.

In that spirit, everyone also figured “Chicken Wing” Martinez wouldn’t last a full season in the Big Ten, so my prediction is that we hurt him in six days and he doesn’t play another game for the Huskers, ever.

Is there any chance for an iowa vs ISU rematch?

I doubt there's any chance

Bowl committees are not big fans of rematches, even for rivalries

by brock_tune on Nov 19, 2011 6:15 PM CST up reply actions  

It would have to be the Car Care Bowl.

which is the Big 12’s 6th or 7th selection based BCS at large berths. Current Big 12 stands are as follows:
OK St
OK
K State
Mizzou
aTm
Baylor
Texas
ISU
So essentially aTm, Texas, or Baylor will be on a collision course for the Care Car Bowl which is in Texas. Even if the Big 12 gets 2 BCS at large bids they would still have one of those three schools left when the 7th big 12 selection is made. So even if Iowa ended up there (and they would have to lose to do so, I think) there isn’t much of a change of a bowl in texas passing up a texas team.

by Argulor on Nov 19, 2011 6:42 PM CST up reply actions  

Now that is a good point.

If they try to black ball Mizzou and aTm down a few spots…maybe…MAYBE ISU slips into the car care. but I think a texas school would be too good to pass up.

by Argulor on Nov 19, 2011 6:45 PM CST up reply actions  

yeah, i think Nebraska was the presumed team to play Iowa.

But the Insight committee was giving them an FU so they took Mizzou instead And got FU’d in the process.
