WE'RE TALKIN' FOOTBALL: CHAMPIONSHIP GAME SATURDAY PART DOS

in Iowa Hawkeyes Game Threads
Email
PrintTime for the night shift. Wisconsin-Michigan State (7pm CT, FOX) is your B1G game of note; there's also the de facto B12 championship game (Oklahoma-Oklahoma State; 7pm CT, ABC) and the ACC Championship Game (Va Tech-Clemson; 7pm CT, ESPN).
If none of those games tickle your fancy, there's also plenty of hockey and college basketball on various channels, as well as UFC on Spike. Oh, and Cotto-Margarito II on PPV, which figures to be an insane bloodbath.
The usual open threading rules apply.

Apparently NDSU is pretty damn good. 11-1.
Still funny that Minny lost to ’em, though.

Now that I think about it I'm pretty sure they were counting WVU and TCU.

Who the hell knows.
We have to wait until we know if Michigan gets in the top 14. If UM goes BCS, Insight would pick between Iowa, PSU and OSU. Talk is Iowa could be the pick, again. if UM doesn’t go BCS, the whole thing goes cattywompus.

So I have an interesting question...
Did MSU have to run an extra point at the end of their game against Wisconsin? Like Iowa did when 7 got 6?
Iowa didn't have to, and neither did MSU.
by clay-born to party on Dec 3, 2011 6:47 PM CST up reply actions
I think ;you have to
If there is a 2 point difference. running back a block xp is 2 points for the other team. If it’s more than 2 point difference you wouldn’t need to kick the xp
Yep.
Iowa did have to run a play because a blocked XP returned for a score would have tied the game. So they ran a play and Ricky took a knee.
MSU didn’t have to run a play because the hail mary made the score 37-31. Didn’t matter what happened with the XP there. Same reason Iowa didn’t have to attempt after The Catch.
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
Don't think so
You only have to when the XP/2pt conversion will affect the outcome of the game. In our situation, something batshit crazy could have happened and MSU could have theoretically scored 2 points defending the try and tied the game.
Hopefully the Badgers have ground them into dust by the time Bisping-Miller comes on.

I hate to say it

I think there's a debate to be made
given how unbelievably good his offensive line is and how pretty mediocre ours was. Coker probably never ran through a single hole the size of a couple we saw on this first drive all year.
So yeah, there’s a debate to be made, but I think that if you watch the two run, it’s probably pretty obvious.

Also, while I don't know enough about Ball to say this as a fact
I’m fairly certain he didn’t take the beating Coker did, nor did he bear the entirety of the rushing burden. Coker would probably have looked much better at the end of the season if he had someone spelling him more often.

there were other WR’s in the Big Ten that had good enough seasons (Jenkins, Cunningham, Toon, Ebert) to make it a discussion

There is no way LSU would have fallen out of the top four.
Nor should they have.
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
I feel like there's a lot of pro-Big XII, anti-SEC sentiment in the voters
That was just waiting to be catalyzed by a loss like that, especially if Georgia dominated like they did for the first several minutes of the game. Those voters would have had a reasonable impact on LSU’s margin. In any event, I think they ought to probably have been taken ahead of Alabama, but I just don’t see room for both of them in the top four. Given that the most recent loss would have been the Tigers’, I think it’s feasible that they would have dropped at least to number five. Whether they should isn’t something I feel strongly one way or another about.

There's making concessions to the other team
and there is recognition of reality. Wisky is better than MSU, and Dantonio knows it. MSU played an almost perfect game and still needed a hail mary to beat them the last time. If you think the team your are playing is much better than you, and the stakes are appropriately high (win you go to the rose bowl, lose you go to the outback), taking some risks isn’t crazy. Maybe I wouldn’t take that one, but … If you think you can convert it half the time, the stats say go for it. Doing it in the second quarter is unexpected, which probably increases the chances of success. Bielema and Chryst panic when behind and when momentum shifts (Rose Bowl last year). Wisky turtles when you punch them in the mouth. It was a risk, but I think it was a reasonably calculated one. We’ll have to see if it pays off.

Maybe Horace could come in here and educate us on the actual numbers.
But if you convert on it 50% or more when you do try it, it’s obviously a fine decision. Try it too often, and that number drops below 50%.
You could probably even justifying converting it 48%-49% if that lost percentage or two resulted in reduced pressure on your XP kicker.

I’m looking for a new work keyboard, not super expensive but not a piece of crap like the one I currently have. Anyone have suggestions?
Fire Dan Snyder
I love this keyboard, it’s ninja quiet. If only it wasn’t that expensive.
Cheering for inconsistent, undisciplined teams [Twins, Wild, Packers, Hawkeyes] since 1989. "False Hope is better than No Hope"
whichever, wireless or wired. Probably wired, because those tend to be cheaper, but I don't rule anything out.
yes, standard keys. I like the idea of one of those boards that are split in the middle, and each side is angled (I have no idea what it’s called), but I’ve never had one before so I’m not sure how it would be to get used to.
Fire Dan Snyder
I can't do the ergonomic keyboards either.
I hate sitting at someone’s desk that has one. The ergonomic mice are even worse.
Adjusting to an ergonomic keyboard isn't an issue, because they're designed to work naturally.
If you use your standard keyboard properly, the move to an ergonomic keyboard won’t even be noticed.
I loved my ergonomic keyboard when I was still using a Windows PC. Of course, I also had a trackball mouse, so my setup was a bit annoying for those that used standard machines.
by The Mexican't on Dec 3, 2011 8:52 PM CST up reply actions
that's excellent to know
and I was thinking they were called ergonomic but I didn’t want to sound like a tool if I was wrong.
I do type properly, so I will probably get one. And I find myself typing more in my department I moved into over the summer, so that’s probably a good idea. Thanks!
Fire Dan Snyder
Another perk is they also teach you to type properly if you do make a couple of reaches that don't make sense.
Of course, this is all assuming that QWERTY is the best keyboard arrangement around (some argue that it’s not), but that’s another discussion entirely.

I switched about 10 years ago. I’d never go back to regular keyboards
"If you need a rah-rah speech at halftime, you’re playing the wrong sport." - Pat Angerer
I don't know about best
but as it is the one most of us are familiar with, I would go with most logical at this point. Learning a whole new keyboard would be a supreme pain in the ass.
Fire Dan Snyder
"Natural" keyboards
They are ergonomically designed to give your wrists and hands the most comfortable (and natural) typing position. Wrists of human beings are not meant to be held at an angle for long periods of time, so you will see them be angled to allow the wrists to be straight and the keys are elevated almost like stadium seating, so your fingers never go very far to get the keys punched and if you type properly (i.e. home keys, 6th grade keyboarding lessons at work, etc, etc) you will not notice much of a difference between the natural keyboard and the standard keyboard. Maybe you might notice that your wrists hurt less when you type for insanely long periods of time.

I knew they did that for VHS/DVD
but movies like “Casablanca” were restored from their original reels on BluRay. They look way better now than they did before, possibly because of the larger capacity of BluRay discs.
Additionally, more original reels have been found that were previously thought lost or degraded, so they have been able to restore them for the new medium.

Fire Dan Snyder
I'm not saying she isn't funny.
She doesn’t need to be in every sketch or the need to give her better material.
She's really funny.
She’s a great writer and acts well. But for some reason most of her recurring characters (some since retired) are just weird socially awkward people that would be funny once, but never twice. The character who has a bomb at the end of the skit, the “just kidding lady,” the lady who has to one-up every body, the… i think there are a couple others too. I hate those. Most of the other things she does, I love.

My theory about Stefon
is that Bill Hader doesn’t get to read the script before he goes on, which makes it funny. I basically like anything Bill Hader does on SNL.

Story is that the writers would slip new jokes into the skits before they'd go live.

Even last year
it felt like we weren’t very physical. Maybe that’s because the LBs are frequently out of position the last 2 years, and it is tough to tackle well and hard when you are out of position.
by Ratface McDougal on Dec 3, 2011 8:57 PM CST up reply actions
That's certainly true.
I was just saying that football players at every level have given up on proper tackling just for the opportunity to make SportsCenter. What’s worse is that their desire to make huge hits is often flagged for unnecessary roughness, so it’s pointless. Make a proper tackle and move on.

I completely agree.
I’ve been a Skins fan my whole life. I know how good it can be. The problem is, the Skins make so much damn money being mediocre to bad, what is the incentive, from a business standpoint, to put in the capital to actually make it viable? At least, that’s whatever justification I can come up with. It’s all BS to me. And Skins fans tend to be incredibly self-loathing as well. The fan bases of both my teams are remarkably similar, with diametrically opposing factions in each (both have many fans who truly seem to hate “their” team, I don’t get it).

Oh Meyer was the real deal.
if you think Iowa being predictable against jNWU is a problem, being predicatble against Meyer will get Ferentz WAXED. I hate ESPN/Tebow hype as much as everyone else, but that doesn’t mean Meyer is a not a great coach. Maybe he doesn’t have the fire anymore, and maybe he’ll delegate more and lose some of his advantages. But if we get the Utah/FL Urban Meyer, it will not be good for our Rose Bowl hopes.

Also won a BCS bowl
and ended up ranked 4th in country not running FB dives with his QB. And waxed the OSU Buckeyes in the national title games with Chris Leak at QB. It’s almost like he ahs a system that he can adapt to his players strengths, instead of forcing shotgun QBs under center. Weird. That must make him a bad coach with two national titles.

tOSU is actually a better gig than Florida in my opinion.
In Florida, there are 3 major in-state programs competing for talent which is to say nothing of the Georgia’s, Alabama’s, Auburn’s, etc. who are also snatching most of the big recruits. That’s to say nothing of the fact that a major portion of the state’s population has only been in the state for a generation or two and therefore its populace doesn’t have the deep-seated allegiances that other state’s do.
Compare that to another talent-rich state, Ohio, where EVERYONE is a Buckeye fan from birth to death. Meyer is going to be a pain in the ass. Here’s hoping Hoke is as good as advertised, because I could enjoy watching that rivalry ratchet back up.

1 game versus a pretty good Iowa team (which he won, albeit questionable as it was)
with a team he had just met and didn’t recruit.
or his entire coaching career, where he won everywhere he was. Hmmm you’re right, the 1 game against Iowa is a better prognostic factor than his two national titles, he record at bowling green and the BCS win at Utah.

You and Ratface are ready to roll the streets up, from reading your posts. Urban isn’t bad. He’s not infallible. Norm has shown very recently that he can flat close down an option offense. As far as your shit talking, I would have been much more terrified of Mike Leach than Urban.

I love Mike Leach
But i don’t fear him. He’s crazy, and he’ll lose games he shouldn’t. His teams are always beatable. Meyer runs a spread-option and he’ll throw more than he runs, or run more than he throws, depending on the talents of his team and D you throw at him.

by Norm Parker's Amputated Toes on Dec 3, 2011 11:47 PM CST up reply actions
Leach may be a crazy person, but his coaching is pretty straight forward.
Get his receivers into open space over and over and over. He’s not sneaking up on anybody.
The reason his offense is successful is because he emphasizes execution. It’s a relatively simple offense.

by Norm Parker's Amputated Toes on Dec 3, 2011 11:55 PM CST up reply actions
True. But simple
doesn’t mean easy to defend. Our running game used to be difficult to defend, but it hasn’t been for a while now. We can argue why that is, but it is probably multifactorial, and to be honest, I don;t understand why we can;t have a great OL. Leach has a fundamentally different concept of football than Ferentz. Leach hates handoffs. There are 11 players on O and 11 on D. Handoffs place 2 offensive players at the same place in space-time, which means you can cover two Offensive players with 1 defensive player. Ferentz likes that; it is safe. Leach would rather spread the defense out, force the D to man-up 11 to 11, and then execute. Leach just needs the fourth or fifth CB to fuck up. We need the staring MLB to fuck up. Leach is betting the former is more likely, and frankly, he is usually right.
by Ratface McDougal on Dec 4, 2011 12:02 AM CST up reply actions
It is a similar theory.
I’d argue, however, that Leach’s offense is even simpler than Iowa’s.
Holgorsen is an Air Raid disciple and he was able to install his offense at WVU in three days. 3 DAYS! And Holgo likes to run more than Leach.
