I like Qualcomm

For reference, I like it better than both the Metrodome and Soldier Field. It’s pretty much the exact same as the Dolphins stadium in terms of niceness if you’ve been to either of the Orange Bowls. It’s a little older, so fewer luxury boxes and the concessions/bathrooms aren’t as hoity-toity as some places, but I don’t care about that. That’s the part the owner cares about, the concessions and luxury boxes pretty much determine their profit.

I like new Soldier Field, but I realize it would be a bitch to get to and leave from in anything like a timely fashion. And, the one time I was there, I sat in the club section in September. Maybe I wouldn’t like it as well if my only visit was in the upper deck when it was cold.

Sooo

Just got home, realize this has probably been talked about (looks like even ironside caught onto this). But on mediacom watching the ref at the score table during the Wagner match was kinda sketch. The lady was saying that the riding time was 1:12.5 and the time left in the period was 13 seconds. She kept saying that, and then even said “there is no way to know how much time exactly was left in the period it could have been 13 something” all of the sudden the ref just goes “1.2 seconds of riding time” Now I may be bad at some sort of math, but isn’t it impossible for 1 minutes and 12.5 seconds minus any time at or above 13 seconds equal something greater than 1 minute? If the clock reads 13 it means it is 13. something not 12. something. The only way (to my understand of current mathematics) for it to be over or at 1 minute would there for be 12.5 or less seconds left in the period??? Which according to the clock (and the lady at the table was not the case). Or for their to be more than 1 minute and 12.5 seconds left of riding time (which the lady at the table also said was not the case). Now I’m pretty dumb, so maybe I’m just messing this all up, butttttt…..

Back to my original point it seemed like either a) the ref just came up with the 1.2 seconds off the top of his head, or someone who the mic could not capture had better information than the lady at the table.

Via the Wikipedias:

It is the longest running cold weather bowl game currently in operation. The payout is $750,000, but teams are required to provide a corporate sponsor, purchase a minimum number of tickets, and stay at a selected hotel for a minimum stay. Because of this, 7–4 UCLA declined an invitation to the 2001 Humanitarian Bowl.

Opening Line guesses for Iowa/OU?

There’s no way it’s less than OU -14, is it?

by Nyghtewynd on Dec 4, 2011 6:04 PM CST reply actions  

OU -5

I think Vegas will look at Iowa's recent history in bowl games

and the line will be much lower than expected. Then a bunch of people will lay down huge money on Oklahoma and it will inch upward.

I didn't invent the black turtleneck, but I was the first to recognize its potential as a tactical garment.

I have a great Iowa bar to meet at in Glendale if people are interested.

It is all Iowa during the games… the regulars won’t come in during Iowa game because so many Iowa fans show up

Its very possible we lose to Oklahoma

but you guys are overreacting. They have had a ton of injuries. Also on a less serious note, We barely lost to ISU, who beat OK St, who killed Oklahoma.

Yeah. I'm not as worried as I thought

They are not the same old Oklahoma. That being said, we need to show up ready to roll

Some of those people

don’t realize that the Insight is played at the ASU stadium, not Glendale.

Idiots.

Don't worry, I'm not telling them shit.

After a phone call from my dad tonight, I’m probably going to the game.
